Yes, every video you download or stream is actually compressed quite a lot, the bitrate just determines how much compression is applied. Higher bitrate means the file is bigger and less compression is done, while low bitrate means the video has a lot less bits to store all that data and so has to do more compression.

These aren’t browser games, but could still be fun.

I used to play Battle for Wesnoth a lot as a kid, both with my dad and by myself, and as it’s turn-based it should run fine on a raspberry pi.

OpenTTD could be fun, although it may be a little complicated depending on how old they are. It’s not very difficult in terms of challenge though, it’s more of a sandbox once you get past a certain point. There’s also sandbox options to give yourself lots of money if you didn’t want to worry about money and just build cool trains and stuff.

I used to play a lot of Supreme Commander with my dad as well, so maybe something similar like Beyond All Reason or ZeroK could work if they take an interest to that kind of game. I haven’t tried them though.

I love this meme format

Gamescope generally helps with alt+tab issues.

How is Backpack Hero by the way? I played the demo years ago and liked it but haven’t bought the actual game yet.

Sounds kinda like NixOS, although that’s not platform-agnostic.

I actually do this with NixOS impermanence lol. The things I need are symlinked from a different partition and the stuff I don’t need automatically gets wiped clean.

You can also run the game at 1080p and use FSR to upscale it to native resolution, that’s what I often do on my 4k monitor.

I believe Syncthing isn’t on iOS.

On System Settings’ Night Light page, the time input fields for manual time mode are no longer a nightmare, because they’ve been replaced with a set of spinboxes (Natalie Clarius, Plasma 6.1)

Oh thank goodness, that page has always felt a bit weird.

On KDE Plasma there’s an effect to zoom in the whole screen on your cursor (it may be windows-plus and windows-minus or you may need to set it yourself). I believe Windows has something similar as well as an accessibility feature. I should think that would work when screensharing.

I can play games and watch videos in HDR though

There’s a Tab Discarder extension that suspends old tabs so they’re stored on the drive rather than ram.

Switched like a year ago or so, not really any difference on my AMD pc and Intel laptop. Now I need wayland for HDR on Plasma 6 so there’s no way I could go back personally, as well as the great multi-monitor and fractional scaling handling.

There’s browser extensions for it

I’d suggest something with KDE Plasma, such as Kubuntu or OpenSUSE or something.

Technically, the morning is when the sun rises and night is when the sun sets. The sun decides to set earlier and we just have to go along with having more night.

You mean… a prompt that needs a second click to run the program?

And the brain has an eyeball…

I would avoid Razer mice, I got two Mamba Elites and both of their mouse wheels are broken/bugged (if you scroll in one direction it scrolls back and forth, or scrolls twice when you want to scroll once). My sister got a Deathadder Elite and its mouse wheel is completely broken.

I picked up an Anker vertical mouse for like $12 from a used PC parts store and it’s been working just as well in my opinion, pretty comfortable and still has a working scroll wheel.

Of course you could also buy a drawing tablet and set it to mouse/relative mode and play with that, which I did for a while, but the lack of a scroll wheel stops you from playing some games.
