ScreaminOctopus,

I really don’t understand all these articles either, I’ve been playing a lot of recent games and IMO this is one of the best years for gaming in nearly a decade. Tekken 8, Helldivers, animal well, and lethal company are all very recent games I’ve had a blast with this year. Maybe it feels bad because of consolidation under Sony and Microsoft, but I feel like nearly all the buyouts I’ve seen have been studios that were on life support creatively, if not monetarily. ActiBliz hadn’t released anything other than trendchasing crap and COD installments since overwatch, which went to shit long before OW2. The last good game Bethesda publiahed was prey and you’ve gotta go even further back for a good first party title.

ScreaminOctopus,

It’s so rare that a game that even needs a better card comes up it’d be hard to justify a new card even if prices were normal. I feel like I play maybe one game a year that makes me consider upgrading.

ScreaminOctopus,

NFS is generally the way network storage appliances are accessed on Linux. If you’re using a computer you know you’re going to be accessing files on in the long term it’s generally the way to go since it’s a simple, robust, high performance protocol that’s used by pros and amateurs alike. SSHFS is an abuse of the ssh protocol that allows you to mount a directory on any computer you can get an ssh connection to. You can think of it like VSCode remote editing, but it’ll work with any editor or other program.

You should be able to set up NFS with write caching, etc that will allow it to be more similar in performance to a local filesystem. Note that you may not want write caching specifically if you’re going to suddenly disconnect your laptop from the network without unmounting the share first. Your actual performance might not be the same, especially for large transfers, due to the throughput of your network and connection quality. In my general experience sshfs is kind of slow especially when accessing many different small files, and NFS is usually much faster.

ScreaminOctopus,

If you’re on Linux I’d recommend using btrfs, or bcachefs with snapshots. It’s basically like time machine on MacOS. That way if you accidentally delete something you can still recover it.

ScreaminOctopus,

This will have an impact on companies issuing Android phones to employees, which may be required to use an actively supported device for security reasons.

ScreaminOctopus,

EA took their games off steam, but only to recover retail fees, they supported refunds well before steam due to the BF4 fiasco.

ScreaminOctopus,

Isn’t a huge part of the point of copy left licences that an author can’t change the license without rewriting the code entirely?

ScreaminOctopus,

It really sucks there’s no good open source alternative to MS Office. LibreOffice has been so bad for so long its not funny. Maybe if Typst got a good WYSIWYG editor it could compete.

ScreaminOctopus,

I’ve been using DDG for a few years, but I don’t like that it’s not subject to any strong privacy regulations like GDPR I’ve looked at startpage but I hate how it doesn’t let you see your search history in your browser history. Qwant forces you to diable your adblocker. Does anyone know of any good alternative?

ScreaminOctopus,

Incendiary grenades! Unfortunately from a premium warbond

ScreaminOctopus,

I wonder if the Gnome team’s cavalier aditude towards agreed upon standards is related to Redhat’s influence 🤔 It’s totally possible the devs are just high on their own fumes due to being the default for so long.

ScreaminOctopus,

Fzf has some scripts packaged for most shells that’ll replace ctrl-r reverse history search with this behavior

ScreaminOctopus,

If you want an EV so badly and usually buy used vehicles, a 2020 Chevy Bolt can easily be had for around 12k. The fact you haven’t even bothered to look makes your entire comment chain seem like trolling.

ScreaminOctopus,

The main killers for me were the lack of anything like the treesitter text subjects (contextual treesitter objects) the lack of anything like leap nvim. But it lets all the stuff that’s normally a bit of a headache to set up work out of the box.

ScreaminOctopus,

As far as I’ve seen many code Ai assistants operate over the LSP framework and work in most editors, and maybe a chat window that’s pretty easy to add to most editors via a plug-in. Adding something like live collaboration is a bit more legwork

What features do you feel are missing from something like vscode? I’m a long time vim/neovim user but most of my co workers use vscode for everything with no complaints. I’ve actually been pretty jealous of stuff like jupyter integration.

If you can’t get used to vim, it might be worth checking out something like Helix it’s editing model is a bit different and clicks better for some people.

ScreaminOctopus,

They got astronomically lucky the crypto boom fed directly into the Ai boom as it ended, otherwise it would have been 2017 all over again.

ScreaminOctopus,

Is there an rss feed for the current events page?

ScreaminOctopus,

Indeed, I bought a different brand thinking it’d be the same because the recipe is public, boy was I wrong 🤮

ScreaminOctopus,

I think most people hate it because it’s meant to be more appealing to a casual audience, not a bad game, but not what Supreme Commander fans wanted.

"Linux Desktop: A Collective Delusion" - an unhinged rant (tadeubento.com)

Linux has made significant strides, and in 2023, it’s better than ever. However, there are still individuals perpetuating a delusion: that desktop Linux is as user-friendly and productive as its mainstream counterparts. After a few discussions on Lemmy, I believe it’s important to provide a clear review of where Linux falls...

ScreaminOctopus,

Plus 99.9% of people will never think of doing that

ScreaminOctopus,

I’ve been getting around this by being really free with the community block button. But I’ve also had decent luck finding alts of the communities I used to use on reddit

ScreaminOctopus,

This, or just dropping the wet tire all together would make a lot of sense. Cars aren’t allowed to race in full wet conditions anymore because the spray is so bad, so having the full wet tire is just a waste.

ScreaminOctopus,

You can still imperatively edit configs for packages where you don’t have / aren’t using the declarative config. You’ll just have the same reproducibility issues that you’d have on other systems. In general all the declarative NixOS modules do is generate the config files you’d normally write yourself, sometimes with some extra error checking. I’ve been doing this for my neovim config because I haven’t cared to port it to the module’s way and I want it to work on systems without nix.

ScreaminOctopus,

The lack of a battle pass is really great imo, whenever games include them it puts a bad taste in my mouth. It’s also really scratching the BF3/4 itch that’s been missing from the market since Dice took Battlefield in a less vehicle focused direction, and tossed any sort of thoughtful map design off a cliff.

ScreaminOctopus,

I don't your personal account will get in trouble for subbing to rule breaking communities, but if the instance hosting those communities is blocked by this one you won't be able to see those posts anymore.
