If you're on android, look up an app called BubbleUPnP, it will allow you to stream media via standard UPnP protocols to other devices from the phone. I used it with one of my old VR headsets so that I could keep a video library on my phone's 128GB MicroSD card and wirelessly stream movies into a virtual cinema inside the headset (which had almost no free storage, hence this solution).
You should be able to get the same thing to work with a PC.
It's great, isn't it? As a side bonus, the tutorial modules on system optimization commands are just great. Check how much less RAM and CPU footprint your system's using now that you've run the tutorials. It's almost like nothing's going on in the background at all.
This is the reason that BASH will always be better than Powershell, imho.
I read an interesting point which I hadn't realized before. Discussions on current social media are always current, not long term. You open the app or website to see what's going on now. When you comment, it's soon lost to history, buried by newer stuff. If you happen on a post more than a day or two old, it doesn't make sense...
There's a few users I've been keeping an eye on after seeing them post misinformation and hate speech. Just keeping a list for now because I don't know how to report them. Where should I go to do this?
Ok, I just reported you here on Kbin.social, not sure if it went through though as clicking the button didn't close the report box or anything, but that could just be a missing UI feature.
In some of the music communities I’m in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They’re all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match… Mark was right to call the people he’s leaching off of fucking idiots.
The turning point for me when I really got a concrete realisation about people absolutely not giving a shit about this was when Snowden came out and I saw the majority of people just go "Eh, that's pretty fucked, whatever", and then immediately jump straight back into scrolling facebook all day long.
I realised then that there probably wasn't any point expecting anything from them. I don't have much sympathy left for people in this regard anymore.
Most people legitimately don't give a shit about this issue. I think that they really should, but they absolutely don't for the most part.
I don't get it, I've seen so many of these posts recently. Why is mine still working?!
I have a theory. Boost is limited to the OAuth threshold for requests. Hits the wall and people get limited. Some of them make posts like this ^, people quit Boost assuming that it's dead, less users brings Boost back under the limit again, people make threads saying Boost works again, people start using Boost again, Boost hits the request wall again and people ge-
Would make it a little like work email addresses too.
Say, if NYT had their own instance and disabled open sign-ups for user accounts, you could be certain that any account posting from that instance is a legit NYT account.
I set this community up because I couldn't find one on here when I switched from Reddit, but, not gonna lie, I wasn't expecting anyone to actually find it. Welcome, I guess.
How long does it take to get to 5 star pilot with Faster Crew Leveling?
Honestly, a while. Three stars is relatively easy but five takes some time. It's a pretty good balance of still having to work towards having good staff, but at the same time be able to actually have the mechanic exist.
I haven't timed it, but, to give an idea:
I set up a ton of stations in a system recently to run a self-sufficient shipyard and wharf. Probably around 20 stations or so spread around one sector, each station started with four M class freighters. High volume stations like refined metals, hull-parts, microchips, etc, got swarms more ships, probably 15-20 each, plus a couple of fleets of L transports to help out, then another 40 or so M's for the shipyard and wharf logistics... Some stations had a few more M transports added where needed, not too many though.
That was probably started around 60ish hours ago?
A couple of days ago I made two fleets of five Behemoths each and wanted five-star pilots for them so I started the internal promotions, I struggled finding pilots for the last three destroyers. I got 10 five-star pilots in the end but definitely had to look around. Most pilots were around mid-three to mid-four stars. I assume the fives were some of the first ships for the first stations built.
It's a fairly similar timeframe to how the universal trader software would skill up in X3, if you have any experience with that. I'm fairly sure that you can tweak the mod too, if you want.
Yeah, during the first week or so of the big surge from Reddit I was watching the new magazines panel and I was seeing people arrive and immediately make dozens of new magazines for all of the big Reddit subs. Not sure if they were bots or whatever but I'm pretty sure most of them just got squatted, so they're mainly dead.
Kinda glad that the X games are niche enough that they seem to have been missed. Depressing that it happened though.
As for content, I don't think there's really a need to compete for quantity. One thing that seems fairly prevalent here on Kbin/Fedi is that people seem to be having actual discussions. There's decent quality content here even if there isn't the vast torrent of it like back on Reddit. I quite like it tbh, there's less seeing a thread that you'd like to engage in and realizing that since it was made two hours ago, there are now 13,000+ replies and no point in posting anything. I'm enjoying being able to actually "Take part" here a lot more than was possible on something the size of Reddit.
I think we just need enough content of actual quality, and it'll be good enough.
I did play a lot of X3 but that was like a decade ago ^^
I know what you mean, but if you remember how sector traders would eventually turn into universe traders and use the jump drive, this feels similar in how it's balanced.
I'm halfway positive that most of the legitimate complaints about the AI in this game come from the implementation of the glacial skill leveling for pilots though. Five-star pilots are hardly perfect beings, but Jesus Christ they at least work.
In case you're wondering, in the current patch, having a fleet of destroyers attack a station OOS actually works if you're using five-star pilots. Like, it works consistently. If you have other forces to handle enemy reinforcements coming to help the enemy station, a fleet of destroyers is literally a guaranteed kill on that station by just issuing an attack order. If the pilots are 5-star and you have destroyers with 10km main guns.
Meaning, the AI works, but is artificially broken on lower-star pilots, which are all you can really get without mods... Egosoft, there's always something, isn't there?
How are you finding Better Kill Credit? I was thinking that it sounded pretty good but then I saw some posts about just how much money people were getting and backed off as it seemed like it would be inadvertently a bit exploity. I like the idea of it, I just didn't want it to break the game progression the first time I place a defense station.
Loool, stop or you'll trigger my PTSD from the time a few versions ago when I tried to get a combination of the following to work when trying to funnel mass resources from FRF space to ZYA with about 40 L transports:
Repeat orders,
Mimic Commander,
Transfer Wares,
I must have spent two or three hours trying to figure out why nothing seemed to work like it obviously should, only to find out that it was because you just can't, and fuck you if you ever wanted to.
Instead, it's setting up trade routes with buy/sell prices between point A and point B, Repeat Orders, do it again but reversed, with reversed buy/sell prices for point B to point A, then do it again 40 times because there was no way to do any of this to a fleet of ships at once... Oh, and if you, for whatever reason, like pirates or xenon or anything, have to issue an actual order to one of these ships in an emergency, you'd best remember exactly what they were doing, their prices, their destinations, wares etc, because you'll almost certainly have to nuke their order list in order to make the pilot actually do what you want at the time so that he doesn't die. Fml.
All I wanted to do was to stick 39 ships into a fleet with the 40th being the commander, and have the commander do a thing, with his fleet mimicking that thing. The "thing" was move shit from one place to another. Was that too much to ask? Was it? They must have wanted to do something like that at some point and realized that it was necessary, surely?
Hilariously enough, I think that they actually added something like that in a more recent version. I wouldn't know for sure, I've been too scared to go back and touch the idea again. :p
Like, not sarcastically at all, I've been playing them since XBTF back in 2000/2001 (I skipped X2 because I didn't have a PC at the time, and Rebirth because... well...). But if there has been one phrase that has always sprung to mind in every iteration of this series when using the UI it would be "Built by engineers, for engineers".
And as messed up as the X4 UI can sometimes be, it's by far their best shot so far.
The current state of my N64 collection (coeus.sbs)
Just thought I would share my N64 collection with the retro gaming community on Lemmy. Let me know if you have any questions.
How can I cast photos and videos from an Android phone to a Windows PC? (no screen mirroring, have the PC act as a chromecast or similar device instead)

How to make social media less for instant gratification and more for long term value?

How to report users and/or posts?
There's a few users I've been keeping an eye on after seeing them post misinformation and hate speech. Just keeping a list for now because I don't know how to report them. Where should I go to do this?
I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

just tried Reddit on boost..... no go, so no Reddit
Just what the title says
So, I guess Threads is officially spyware... Not at all shocked, but, Jesus that's a lot of data they're wanting.
Businesses, celebrities & influencers on Threads should operate their own instances, independent from Meta. Get enough of them to do this and Meta can't hold a monopoly.
This is good for us, and for businesses, influencers and celebrities....

The threat suggests that Threads is the most serious rival yet to Elon Musk’s chaotic social platform.
