kadu,

Isnt Lemmy proving otherwise?

We are an extremely small bubble, comparable in size to your average 2008 internet forum.

kadu,

Arch users overreacting to a meme is not helping refute it. I use arch, btw.

kadu,

Ah, back when Nintendo mastered the concept of using proven, slightly older technology, in genuine amusing and fun ways. The 3DS had StreetPass, Download Play, free AR games, a free Flipnote animation app, a sound editor, several hidden easter eggs, an interface that had themes and badges and trinkets.

Now you get a flat, soul-less interface with a lot, and I do mean a lot, of updates trying to stop pirates. They do not work. The browser also does not work. You’re getting sued for mentioning Nintendo in this post without the proper license, by the way.

kadu,

But by that logic, absolutely everything other than standing still in a fethal position in a dark cave is a cyber security risk.

Are you using an extremely solid version of Linux? Wellllll, sometimes bad actors can push bad code to open source projects! It’s a risk!

kadu,

To be fair, after getting a OLED TV, I can’t stand 24 FPS content at all. With LCD, the blur between frames is just enough to mask the issue, but on OLED movement gets extremely stuttery, and if you get distracted focusing on it, you can even see the steps in each individual frame. It’s nauseating.

I had to do the unthinkable and enable the less intrusive motion smoothing option on my TV, otherwise I’d straight up get a headache. This does not happen at any higher framerates. And I’m not talking about gaming at all, I mean TV and movie content.

Having two drives is sometimes not enough, either. I have no idea why, but anytime Windows installs for the first time or goes through a major update (not the small security patches, but the periodic feature releases) there’s a random D20 dice throw to determine if it will randomly decide to create the bootloader and recovery partitions in another drive, even though your main installation isn’t there.

I kid you not, Windows 10 once decided that my external SSD enclosure was the best place to put the bootloader.

kadu,

Miniclip, that’s a name I haven’t heard in years.

Sewer Run 2 was my sport.

kadu,

Sneaky mfs trying to get me to use systemd by exploring my female domination fetish

kadu,

Need? No. Are though? Please mommy

kadu,

Sorry to tell you this, but if we suddenly woke up tomorrow and made all the possible drastic changes in a single day, it would take well over a decade for the effects to even start setting in.

The chaos we are living today could only have been prevented by starting many years in the past. So is the reality of very long geological cycles and feedback loops.

kadu,

Mitigation follows the exact same “extremely delayed effects” logic I explained.

kadu,

There are actually several sub-categories for feet: there are some attracted to the arches, the toes, wrinkly or not soles, stinky, not stinky, always with socks, half-covered with socks, thigh highs, clean soles, dirty soles, feet up, nail polish, no nail polish.

kadu,

Drivers for desktops are pretty much a non-issue on Windows, in fact, most will be installed via the internet before you even boot the desktop for the first time.

Drivers for gaming laptops are a nightmare on Windows, and you’ll probably have to chase weird slow pages in the manufacturer’s website to perhaps find 4 packages that might contain the driver you want.

kadu,

Perhaps it’s gotten better since the last time I’ve used a laptop, I really avoid them nowadays. Either way, good to know.

kadu,

Using hashes to verify against a known bad list isn’t exactly new or concerning, it’s how all these password managers claim to protect you against leaked information.

That being said, I really hate when browsers try to intercept what I’m doing, so I hope this can be turned off.

kadu,

Firefox will block “dangerous pages and downloads” too.

And I’ll eat my own shoe but will not install Brave nor will I interact with Brave users trying to tell me to use Brave.

kadu,

Biologist here. Can confirm, that’s exactly how it happens. No need to look into plant physiology textbooks.

I repeat: do not look for plant physiology textbooks. Do. Not. Please. Please while you can. Do not.

kadu,

The thing with Valve is that they didn’t just build a store for PC games and that’s it.

Steam Input practically solved the issue of games not supporting your particular gamepad. There’s Steam Remote Play, Proton for Linux compatibility, workshop for mods, well built systems for player to player trades, cloud saves that actually work…

Steam is what makes the PC a gaming platform, rather than a box capable of technically running games.

kadu,

What causes a person to become a serial killer is brain damage, nothing more complicated than that.

It can be an issue during embryological development, the result of physical injury, or the result of extreme psychological distress. But at the end of the day, it’s just brain damage.

kadu,

I can’t speak for other countries, but here in Brazil we suddenly got a massive influx of Chinese electric car brands. The feeling I get is that I went to sleep in a country where you couldn’t even find an electric charger and woke up in one where I could do a road trip with an electric car with zero issues.

Vehicles are extremely expensive here, but a Tesla would be out of this world expensive even if we just directly converted USD to BRL, which is not anywhere close to the actual final price. The Chinese cars are affordable by comparison, they do not lock you into weird proprietary non-standards, they have easy to purchase spare parts and do not require some weird dance to get a repair technician when you need one… I can say Tesla would have zero success here at this point. Completely different context, but I can see why they’re no longer growing in the US given how there are other mature electric cars brands out there - missing the pretentious tech bro appeal, of course.

I have the classic pack and it runs amazingly well (playing mostly on a Steam Deck), it’s super smooth. The Steam version is how your memory remembers the game being like - if you go back and play the Flash version, you’ll quickly realize how much our memory isn’t reliable lol

kadu,

This title triggered my flight or fight response.

Jagex co-founder and ex-employee (Andrew Gower) announces new MMORPG inspired by RuneScape (store.steampowered.com)

I mean, when I saw an ex-Jagex employee making a new MMO I thought it was going to be slightly inspired by RuneScape… But this game looks exactly like RuneScape, and the description of the gameplay also matches it perfectly - this is essentially RuneScape 3 but managed by someone else (and with a much newer engine)

kadu,

If GitHub Copilot is anything like Windows Copilot, I can’t say I’m surprised.

“Please minimize all my windows”

“Windows are glass panes invented by Michael Jackson in imperial China, during the invasion of the southern sea. Sources 1 2 3”

kadu,

Ah yes, you’re indeed correct - multiple monitors can cause some weird behavior still. One tip though, you can go into the settings and choose which monitor Steam Big Picture will use as the primary one. If you do that, it will automatically change this setting on Windows whenever it’s running so that fullscreen games boot up into the correct screen, and you have less issues with losing mouse focus.
