“Arnold Palmer was all man, and I say that in all due respect to women, I love women,” Trump said. “This man was strong and tough, and I refused to say it, but when he took showers with the other pros they came out of there, they said, ‘Oh, my God. That’s unbelievable.’”

lmao

omg bestie

in case anyone is reading this looking for a solution the cable was not the culprit

nothing in between the computer and monitor - it’s just plugged straight in. my current guess is that some step of pacman’s install/update process changes something that also gets changed by something else (DE, config file, idk) after the boot.

could you elaborate?

i’ve been just dealing with this problem for an embarrassing amount of time now, and have gone through several version updates of the nvidia drivers with this problem persisting. i’ve also tried reinstalling the nvidia drivers with no change.

no unfortunately god’s intended resolution is just slippin right into my arch install uninvited

that’s worth checking - i don’t have a spare DP cable on hand to test, but you may be onto something.

previously, i tried unplugging and replugging the cable on the PC end, as well as trying other ports, to no avail.

just now, i tried replugging the end plugged into the monitor a few times and was able to reproduce the resolution issue a single time. this honestly just confuses me more though, because why would it happen only one time out of several cycles doing the exact same thing?

i’m gonna get another cable just to be sure but that wont be for a few days at least.

while i appreciate the effort, this has no effect on my issue. also maybe worth noting, i am using grub but not nomodeset. i toggled it on just to see if it would do anything but the problem persists.

if you look at my xrandr output on the first boot, the main problem is that it cannot see any other mode except 640x480 and running xrandr --output DP-0 --mode 1920x1080 fails. i cannot change it using plasma’s display settings gui or xrandr in any way - the only way i know how to get access to the other resolution/rate settings of that monitor is by rebooting.

yeah fast and furious is basically anime and i love it for that

i really like how this is just about the games. no corporations, no awkward presenters on a stage, just a bunch of cool games i would not have known about otherwise.

thanks for posting this - got a few new games on my wishlist :)

stuff them into a sack maybe

yeah if i was preparing to take billy mitchell to court thats all i would talk about or make videos about lol

plus it seems like a lot of his time and energy is going into that and the topic is similar enough to his other videos that he might as well document it.

the easiest part of living back then is i didn’t have to do it

it really is crazy how different it feels to use a linux pc after being conditioned to think that windows is just how using a computer is. the way i relate it to my friends is that using windows feels like i’m constantly compromising with the computer, but using linux i own my computer and it works for me - not the other way around.

idk sometimes it’s just fun to eat something really hot, especially with friends

my dad and i did the 1 chip thing a few years back and we got a fun time and a funnier video out of it. not much more to it really

trans command?? dos is secretly based???

you aren’t the only one, shit is scary lately. but i’ve personally taken that as initiative to go do/buy the things i want (that i can afford) now instead of later in my life when i have more money/time, because realistically i don’t know that i will have more money/time when i’m older if things keep up as they are right now.

it hurts to think about.

i say something like this often in real life, but despite it being plainly observable in daily life other people still don’t agree.

it’s on all scales too, or at least it feels like it. moving everything to streaming, always online, etc. want to play a competitive video game with your friends? give a corporation root-level access to your home computer. ads everywhere some greedy ass in a suit can think to stick them whether you pay or not, yet everyone complies like this is normal and i get singled out for caring about our rights as consumers.

i love capitalism i love money

but this is a game that basically lives and dies by its mods, and this is an update that (arguably) changed nothing anyone who is still playing the game cares about after years of stability. why fix what isn’t broken?

fun is an overstatement but it can be enjoyable with a friend. definitely not as bad as some people make it out to be though
