Dagamant,

I want a dumb phone that acts as a hotspot for my tablet and other devices.

Dagamant,

You can’t use them as a phone though. And dumb phones that do somehow support tethering don’t do so at modern speeds.

Dagamant,

Since you’re browsing Bandcamp use their tags. If you look near the bottom of those albums you linked you can find tags, pick dungeon synth and black metal to get a list of bands to check out. Add more tags to refine the results.

Dagamant,

Awesome, glad it helped. I use it all the time and I was worried that it was an obvious answer until I tried to find the tag search on the site.

Dagamant,

I agree wholeheartedly, I would also like to do it without worrying about cops

Dagamant,

I appreciate how Valve does this. They ask, they let you know how its used, its not associated with individual accounts, you can view the info submitted before it gets submitted.

Dagamant,

You can also estimate the size of the vehicle. based on how fast it it going and the time between front and back wheel you could calculate the distance between the wheels.

with two strips you can get a lot more data than if you just have one. count, direction, speed, size, and times the road is active. I dont know if they active measure all that but its possible.

Dagamant,

Yeah, people are just going to keep using it, they just won’t get updates. That means they will be vulnerable to any exploits that come along afterward but most people don’t care. M$ shot everyone in the foot when they decided to limit windows 11 compatibility.

When windows 7 came out I knew people who stuck with windows xp until they bought a new computer with 10 or 11 on it. The market will get a slight bump from EoL but it isn’t going to force everyone with windows 10 to run out and buy a new computer immediately.

Dagamant,

Foundry VTT, Dungeondraft, whatabou dungeon generator, Mork Borg DUNGEN and monster generators, Procreate for drawing dungeons, Stable Diffusion for images I can’t find, various character generators/builders for whichever game I am running.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

Dagamant,

Money

Dagamant,

Profits now are all that matter. The future is a problem for after dividends and bonuses get paid out.

From Windows to about 6 recommended distros for gaming.

I am not bad with computers and have a beginner+, maybe intermediate level knowledge of Linux and I kept running into some problems here and there with different distros. Most claimed to work out of the box (which may be the case for some users, but I have a shit ass Nvidia 1060 and that was not at all the case, until I...

Dagamant,

Yeah, POP has its nvidia version that comes with it installed. I was using that til I switched to AMD and just reinstalled the OS instead of dealing with removing the nvidia stuff.

Dagamant,

You would think so but that didn’t work

Dagamant,

This is only a problem because of money. Maybe California should install some power storage centers in order to hold the excess for later.

Dagamant,

Im a fan of gravity based energy storage. Excess energy is used to raise a weight up a slope and it can be reclaimed when the weight is released.

Dagamant,

Yeah, sorry I missed that single sentence in the article that is so plastered with ads that my phone has trouble displaying the page. I’ll be sure to do better next time.

Dagamant,

The site is serious crap on mobile. Between all the poppins and the ads reloading to make it jump around as you read. It’s damn hard to read a full article on a lot of these news sites.

Dagamant,

I mean, it’s a pretty good excuse. The sites job is to inform people and they do a shit job of it. I’m literally checking lemmy on my phone while taking a break so when some link leads to a site that’s damn near unreadable I’m not spending my entire break futzing with settings to make it readable. Like I said, I’ll do better next time.

Dagamant,

I don’t even play it and it upsets me. Online service models are a huge reason I don’t buy a lot of games. I hate the idea that major features of a game will be removed when it is no longer profitable.

I want to be able to go back to games after a long time to relive the experience. If there are someone else’s servers involved then I won’t be able to do that.

Dagamant,

Let her know that your heart is bigger because it’s older so you have more room for love.

Dagamant, (edited )

I still like the idea but I’m tired of the power fantasy aspect. “Oh no! I’ve been killed/summoned/found a portal and now I’m in a fantasy world! At least I’m incredibly overpowered and/or my modern knowledge gives me god like status!”

The ones where the character still struggles to get by tend to be good still because they have to have some kind of story involved other than “average person conquers another world by being OP”

Edit: also characters whose only connection to their old life is a token scene in the first episode/issue where it shoes them get isakai’d and it’s never a bearing on the story again. It’s just shoehorned into a bad story because isekai is popular.

Direct Action - Utah Phillips (youtu.be)

This is one of my favorites. Utah was a huge fan of this idea he called “the long memory”. The long memory is the idea that as long as we know where our movement comes from, we’ll have the knowledge to combat both new and old tactics meant to divide us. This song describes the true story of labor conditions and direct...

Dagamant,

I love Utah Phillips. He had a great way with words.

[Question] Why is Matrix mentioned more often than XMPP in self hosted forums?

I’m looking into hosting one of these for the first time. From my limited research, XMPP seems to win in every way, which makes me think I must be missing something. Matrix is almost always mentioned as the de-facto standard, but I rarely saw arguments why it is better than XMPP?...

Dagamant,

Its newer.

Dagamant,

Im 100% with you. If I were going to set one up it would probably be XMPP. However I havent dug into the features of each to do a proper analysis on which would suit my needs because I have no need for a chat service right now.

Dagamant,

Give it to my ADHD wife and tell her its important. it will never be seen again.
