Hahaha, what a great way to start tuesday morning.

Shame that nobody had a 360° photo of the spot on google maps streetview there, I checked all over that island.

That’s certainly a concern for some, but I’m using like 30 GB for all the things I’ve installed, which is a lot (12 (flatpak-system), 76 (flatpak-user)) but that’s on a 2 TB drive, which amounts to like 1½% of the total available space. I don’t think that’s a bad trade.

I tend to stop torrents when they hit 1000, I feel like that’s a “good enough” contribution on public stuff, except when I notice less than 100 seeders, then I tend to keep it going.

I’ve probably hurt myself worse, but one memory that stands out is me crawling around in a bush, getting my pants stuck and then losing my grip so I turn upside down with my head in a bunch of stinging nettles.

Sorry, but anyone taking up space in my pigeon brain is “big enough” to be petty. I don’t know what qualifies as big enough for you though.
And just to be clear, I’m just talking about boycotting, not leaving nasty reviews or messages.

I was told a long time ago by a teacher that “there are no whole numbers after the comma”. That is to say, one should say one-point-three-two, but not a lot of people I’ve met since care either way.

I’ve been using DS3 controllers for over a decade, but they are starting to wear. The drift isn’t bad at all, but it’s there, although I suspect it’s mostly a few rubbers that’d need replacing, I have heard great things about 8BitDo, especially their Hall Effect controllers. Very reasonably priced as well.
So this announcement is just the kick in the butt I needed to get a Pro 2 Hall Effect one.

Reminding me of a quote by Charles Bukowski: “How the hell could a person enjoy being awakened at 6:30AM, by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so.”

Boxbuddy makes it incredibly easy to use distrobox, a great way to install software that might not be available for your distro, but is available on another distro, or just a way to keep a piece of software in a stable state (like DaVinci Resolve with davincibox).

If you use a “gaming distro”, I’m sure you’ve seen Input Remapper. It’s a neat utility that can create macros for all your peripherals or rebind keys as you like. Want to bind you controller so it works like a mouse? Possible. Want to macro key pressed by using the forward button on your mouse? Possible.

Did you leave Foobar2000 behind when you switched to Linux? Why not give Fooyin a try. It’s a relatively new audio player with aspirations of becoming just as configurable as FB2K. For me replaygain is quite important, and while some other FOSS audio players support it, not many has replaygain generation. And Fooyin does. While also being just as easy to set up and use as Foobar. Worth a look.

Oof. I love Obsidian, I really do, but The Outer Worlds 1 wasn’t at all the kind of game I was looking for. NPC’s felt very cardboard-y, each and everyone you had to talk to was anchored to one place, the world didn’t feel lived in or alive.

And then asking $80 for a sequel to that?
That’s gonna be a no from me dawg.

Reminder for beltalowda: Telltale, as it rose from its grave, the first game they released upon returning from the dead was “The Expanse: A Telltale Series”, a prequel story about Drummer (who is voiced by Cara Gee).
It’s unfortunately only available on Steam and Epic Games Store on PC and not GOG.

And until I know more about Osiris Reborn, I’m imagining it a bit like Mass Effect based on the description, “story-driven action RPG”.

Oh, I didn’t even notice that, yeah, that’s amazing! Might be a game I buy on release just for that reason. DRM-free should be incentivized after all.

Nice! If it wasn’t for the 100GB free cloud storage I have on OneDrive I would definitely have switched as well.

Onedrive isn’t the easiest to set up, but it isn’t so bad. You need the OneDrive client for linux, which is available in the main fedora repository (sudo dnf in onedrive) and for easier use and setup I recommend OneDriveGUI which has a pretty easy way to setup ones profile. Available either as an appimage, by compiling yourself or via the AUR via distrobox (which I just tested from Nobara and works, although personally I just use the appimage version).

Apathetic voters not giving a shit shouldn’t be a surprise. I think it would be more interesting to see if people already politically enough engaged to have picked a “team” were willing to switch sides based on the outcome of debates.

It is odd, they have no problems talking about the internet despite that being a newer thing than gaming historically.
Maybe it’s some dumb attempt at seeming more adult by trying to look like they don’t know what computer games are.

Yeah, like @catloaf@lemm.ee said, Dynamic DNS ought to fix this issue. There are plenty of free ones. I currently use ClouDNS, but No-IP is also decent.
Hardest part is updating from a phone, but there’s articles on both sites for how to do that.

Wow, I didn’t know lemmy knew how to censor addresses like that, cool feature.

I (15 year old account) got banned not too long ago for replying to a person using information publicly listed in their reddit profile. Rule 3, aka doxxing. Idk, seemed overkill to me, what else is the point of sharing anything in ones profile if mentioning it is bannable.
