On General or on the Federated Servers "Hot" section? If you mute the Redditmigration and other Reddit themed communities and magazines, it gets rid of most of the discussion about it.
I don't know if you can filter by keywords yet (particularly for titles) but if that's implemented somewhere, that might work too.
I'm not tired of discussions about Reddit, but I can totally understand why others would be, as I'm generally pretty sensitive to repetition and like to control what I see. Too much of one thing generally sets me off too.
Leader of the Imperium of Man (basically the 40k Federation) is the "Emprah"
The most superior tactic for engaging foes is a maneuver that the Codex Astartes (like the Art of War for 40k) names "Stiehl Rehn"
No other factions besides the Spess Mahreens matter and you should never buy them.
The best thing to do is to be "The Emprah's Fureh" and smite all his foes otherwise you'll die in shame having "Fehled the Emprah"
Oh yeah, and machines have souls and they do much better when you praise and worship them and anoint them with holy oils, so make sure to do that if you ever get isekai'd into the 40k universe for the like 45 seconds you'll probably be able to stay alive for.
This is why I use Firefox. I honestly don't think that a browser engine monopoly is good for the world. Single point of failure for everyone with no alternatives is very bad if something nasty happens.
I think the creators of WINE said something similar about one of their reasons for creating WINE. Wish more browsers would use Gecko.
Damn those Italians, this is just like the leaning tower of Pisa! Why can't they build anything straight?! I'm tired of Italians and their gay buildings!
I’m just waiting for a friend at a place where there are only people I don’t want to interact with. And I’ve got a headache. Normally I’d browse garbage content mindlessly. Look at me fediverse, now I’m producing mindless garbage content!
Yeah, I know the feeling. I had to wait for about 30 minutes for a haircut and didn't have much on my phone to look at. I was in the middle of this Blue Archive video when I got called up. Just finished it now:
Brotato is a top-down arena shooter roguelite where you play a potato wielding up to 6 weapons at a time to fight off hordes of aliens. Choose from a variety of traits and items to create unique builds and survive until help arrives.
Yeah, I feel you. I used to like more punishing combat when I was younger, but now I just want to finish games and not have to restart fights constantly. I don't have the reflexes I used to when I was less old, and to be honest, my reflexes were bad even when I was young, just less bad than they are now.
Yep, you hit the nail on the head. I just want companies to stop lying about how "sensitive and enlightened" they are, and just stay out of it. I know they're just grifting too, just like they are with greenwashing and everything else they're pretending to do. I don't have the time and energy to keep up with who's doing what and then try to selectively boycott this or that when I'm just trying to make sure inflation doesn't eat my budget alive.
It's very rare that a company is actually ethical anyway, like gravity payments or the north face.
That's pretty suck, but the worse news for me (and Fallout fans in general) is that it means that Fallout 5 is probably over a decade away. I really wish Microsoft would just tell them to hand over the Fallout 4 engine to Obsidian so they can make a Fallout New Vegas 2 or something.
Maybe finally implement the ability to not play a human, and possibly be some kind of ghoul, Super Mutant, or talking Deathclaw or whatever. I heard that they've tried in the past, but couldn't quite make it work.
I'm actually wondering what the picture would look like for Belgium as an arms supplier. I don't know of many other arms companies, but FN Herstal's pretty legit in my book.
That's a good point. Outside of Dell with their XPS line, I'm not sure any major manufacturer ships Linux by default. There's only boutique Linux specialists like System 76.
If everyone's "mad at you for no reason" all the time everywhere you go, there probably is a reason, it's just that you don't know it, and they're not doing their job by explaining it. It's particularly bad if they act like you should be psychic and have a perfect childhood with communicative parents that teach you everything and no learning disabilities and should've known already. And then assume that all of that is true and that you're just being offensive on purpose, so they just get upset at you without asking questions or giving you a chance to explain.
That said, if instead of trying to figure it out, you just switch to being annoying purpose all the time forever, then you end up being a total sociopath no different than Musk, Spez, or Zuck. They probably had people be mean to them too.
Edit: Shit, I just remembered that Musk said in an interview that people used to chase him around in groups trying to beat him up for no reason. It sounds reasonable because I've had that happen to me as well, and also happen to others for really dumb reasons like having a speech impediment or really bad allergies. That said: looks at how Musk is now...
Yep. I used to think that I didn't need to download and back up stuff because "I just need to pop on over to Youtube or something and it'll be there!" only to find out the hard way that people delist and take down stuff from places all the time, including major corporations.
I wish I'd downloaded and backed up some of my favorite stuff back in the day. Whether it's videos, music, games... it's surprising how much crap gets taken down. I never thought that people who insisted on having physical copies were weird (unlike some others) but now I realize even more nowadays that they were right. Especially if they use those physical copies to make their own digital backups.

As someone who is good at memorization (although not as much post COVID) but has been historically poor at critical thinking, I agree. People kept telling me I was "smart" and that there was no way I could fail X or should fail X, but life experience and slow but steady analysis showed me that no, everyone (including my parents and teachers) were wrong. I was dumb as bricks, I'm just good at memorizing things.
I'm aware that my critical thinking skills aren't great. I'm also aware that I had no business going to college (and failing of course) studying what I did (computer science) and that it's actually very good and liberating to admit how fallible you are, and how bad you are at things, because it gives you the freedom and insight to know what you can do instead of what you can't.
I've lived long enough to see stupid people succeed at what "smart" people fail at, just because they're honest enough and humble enough to admit when they can't do something, and also when they're wrong. I saw that doing something right imperfectly (but effectively) is more useful than doing something wrong with perfect execution. It's the difference between going forward at a walk, and going backwards with a rocket thruster.
Immigrants help out in the short term, but then they and their children realize the same thing that people who already live here do: that wages are too low, and that rent and cost of living is too high to support children.
Plus, corporations can use those immigrants to bust unions and keep wages down and rent prices up. Supply and demand, because we live in an oligrarchic dystopia that doesn't have enough social safety nets to make sure that new workers coming in don't sabotage the ones currently working.
I'm the children of immigrants and hang around with the children of other immigrants, and we're not having children ourselves, or ware waiting until increasingly later ages (minimum 30) because of how expensive it is to live, even without children. It only takes 1 generation to realize that new immigrants will just get stuck in the same rut that non-immigrants are already in.
Adding more people just increases the power of corporations (the real government) to treat workers as disposable objects. It's probably why corporate run governments don't try to stabilize unstable regions, but rather prefer to exploit them until there's a mass migration. More people to use for dangerous labor = more expendables that no one can afford to care about.
Actually, you're right, and I think that lowered populations are a good thing. World needs quality people, not just quantity. A world filled with a smaller amount of environmentally conscious and responsible people is better than a world filled with a large amount of meat eating, gas guzzler driving jackasses that spend all their time being racist, while overconsuming everything and yelling and shooting at anyone who even suggests that maybe they should cut down on consumption.
Counterpoint: at least it's not Windows 11. I don't care if it's prettier if it's less functional and more buggy. Plus, I hear it steals design cues and features from KDE, although it seems that stealing commonplace features from Linux Desktop Environments is think that's been ongoing, if I remember correctly.
Hi all, just logged in with an alt and noticed that all of the posts I had removed from my subreddit were restored. To the two existing mods, they all appeared removed. We had to add a third mod to re-remove the posts....
What would happen if someone changed their real name to Beefsteakcowboy? I'm actually genuinely curious. I think some of the malicious compliance types actually would, to be honest.
I'm not really sure what Xbox is thinking nowadays. Raising the Price of the Xbox AND Game Pass, when the PS5 is still kicking their ass. Buying out expensive game studios only to publish flops like Redfall. Now they're wasting time and money trying to get into a merger with Activision Blizzard, which has a good chance of failing, and they possibly could've spent that time and money doing something less controversial and more productive instead...
...at this point, I have to wonder if the Xbox brand has much of a future in the actual console space.
I think you're right. Both about games, and tv / movies. Look how it turned out for Ubisoft when they turned every game into Assassin's Creed / The Division. Ghost Recon: Breakpoint ironically being a break point that showed that this strategy leads to player exhaustion, burnout, and failure. Kevin Feige ironically said something like, "Chocolate ice cream is tasty, but if you only give people chocolate ice cream every day, they'll get sick of it and want something else. Which is why we have to keep mixing things up and giving people something new if we don't want them to get tired of it."
...and he didn't even take his own advice. Well, not in the long run anyways. And we see how it's slowly failing as of late.
If you've got an SSD, and can use some form of DLSS or FSR (provided that Starfield supports these or Intel's XESS) you'll probably be able to run it. Especially if you tweak the settings. I think it's the 1060 / 580 generation's that's going to have issues. I finally upgraded from a 1060 to a Radeon 6600 because I was finally encountering games it couldn't run at medium.
I don't quite understand what iptables are, but the other 3 pills seem like they could have serious monkey's paw like downsides if not chosen or implemented carefully.
World Peace because everyone's a lobotomized meat robot for instance, or telepathy, but you can't control it so everything's constantly bombarding you with thoughts, or everyone can hear your thoughts constantly for instance. And eternal life without eternal health or youth is such a cliche at this point it's barely worth mentioning. Plus all the sci fi dystopias where there are basically immortal heads in jars, like Futurama.
Or Eternal Life where hey, it's not that bad... you're young and healthy forever and can even regrow parts... but everyone else has died so you're all alone, and guess what: heaven is real.
Yep. Even as someone who frequently subscribed to Game Pass, I mostly used it as a "Try before you buy" demo service more than anything else. I calculated the cost of subscribing every month vs. just buying a game outright and taking the time to finish it (however many weeks or months that would take) and just buying the game during a sale turned out to be cheaper.
It's great for discovery, but not a great deal if you pay every month just to play 1 or 2 games. Particularly if those games take a long time to finish, like Persona 5 Royal. The less time you have, the worse of a deal Game Pass is. That said, I still think it's good to sub for a month just to try a bunch of games if you're thinking of buying a new one.
Probably. And PC Game Pass honestly has fewer games than console game Pass. I used to use Game Pass Ultimate on my Xbox One and my PC Simultaneously and noticed the discrepancy. Also, certain games worked perfectly on console (like Injustice 2) while they had huge problems on the PC version.
PC Game pass doesn't just have a smaller catalog, it also has more jank, bugs, and crashes / games not starting. Still feels like beta a lot of the time.
