Not gonna convince me to play overwatch this way

But I am happy for them

I am a fan of MP5 at home

Well there’s all the problems then

Asking a AAA studio to make their game sub 128 GB AND optimize it in anyway is a tall ask

Do they even make disks with enough space for a modern game? Secondly, would a spinning disk be fast enough for it?

I feel like the only way for truly physical media in the AAA space to be a thing again is if people are willing to pay an extra $60+ for an external SSD that holds the game.

What’s happening in Ukraine sucks

That doesn’t contradict the sentiment that borders are generally arbitrary lines designed to divide us.

Using a Russian sure to get free books doesn’t hurt Ukraine unless these are all like infected with Russian turbo malware or something

The biggest perk for me for a dedicated NAS is redundancy and hot swap ability.

It is inevitable that a few of your spinning disks will die and need to be replaced, a proper dedicated NAS box will let you pop out and swap that drive and then the NAS software will rebuild the array for you with no data loss.

Obviously you can do most all of this with a normal desktop, but it’s generally easier with the right hardware.

I custom built mine running Truenas which was way cheaper then a dedicated NAS, but also I’m an IT turbo nerd so I wanted to do the whole thing myself.

Were they not supposed to be funny normally?

Are we not all on the brink?

Dude SHUTTHEFUCKUPSHUTTHEFUCKUPSHUTTHEFUCKUPSHUTTHEFUCKUPSHUTTHEFUCKUPSHUTTHEFUCKUPSHUTTHEFUCKUPSHUTTHEFUCKUP

What do you think the odds are that some of these make it state side?

But is he a class traitor? He seemed awfully at home.

Most of the address and numbers they do have are off or old.

I moved through a lot of places in college and one of those 5 are usually what shows up.

Now that I think about it I did used to sign up for a bunch of religious mailing lists before I would leave an apartment because I thought it was funny.

Online book clubs are kind of a thing.

Welcome to Lemmy, just find a community and start chatting. If it’s dead/empty, start filling it.

I try to open myself up to people as best I can here and on Mastodon just because we’re pretty used to the algorithm TM deciding who we talk to or where we engage for a long time now and I don’t think we are collectively ready to have non-hostile “discussions” in that we just don’t know how to do it.

What’s been on your mind? If you don’t wanna share here try the casual conversations community. They might be better to receive you.

There are legitimate reasons not not want to use or not be able to use Linux.

Calling the very real privacy issues presented by windows as a “conspiracy theory” is not one of them.

Also these people are delusional. They don’t understand why the steam deck is popular because quote “the main appeal of PC Gaming is modding and using a Keyboard and Mouse.” Which is a bold claim because I thought the point was having better control over what you play instead of hoping Microsoft, Nintendo, and PlayStation release those games on chosen console.

Do these people have an idea how many Stardew Valley Clones I can play on PC that will never touch an Xbox?

I took 5 years to consecutively not get a degree and I’m about to go back to finish 5 years later.

Yeah it sticks not graduating with the people you started with, but that really isn’t any more of a signifier of success or failure than graduating at all.

Sometimes things happen and at that point everyone is mature enough to but be a dick.

I voted for Harris

It is the DNCs fault Trump won.

The DNC has spent years kinda sorta offering enough social and popular policy. And then half heartedly pushing it, but ultimately giving up when there’s resistance because it’s better to promise those changes then actually do them.

Abortion rights for example. That’s been a carrot on a stick for decades and it ultimately was attacked and the Biden admin didn’t get it codified or push for a new federal legalization.

Or student loan forgiveness. He kinda pushed it and then the courts said nu-uh so it died.

I’ll admit they did do lots of cool stuff but they didn’t do anything that an actually progressive candidate would do, but they promised they would. This has kept an actual lefty progressive candidate off the ballet for decades and this cycle of ineffective, dispassionate campaign apathy has failed to get anyone enthused to vote.

“People should just vote! It’s their duty! They shouldn’t need to be excited to vote!”

Okay but consider. They weren’t enthused. They didn’t vote for another useless Democrat. Trump won.

It’s the DNCs fault because this is the second time they’ve ran a candidate less progressive then Obama and just hoped the strategy of “You should want to vote for the first Woman president! Please ignore she did terrible in the primaries or all why we didn’t do another primary”

I ultimately agree with a lot of communism and as such I’m probably more likely to agree with the average Tankie than most people.

And with that disclaimer, yeah kinda it has aided them in doing that.

They created a reddit alternative that has a “default server” as it were. And they have the ability to admin that source of information to tailor to their specific ideological needs.

But is it effective in a grander scheme? That’s pretty debatable.

Palpatine is the absolute only instance that the evil wizards plot fucking worked.

Bro was just yucking it up between episode 2 and 6. He couldn’t fucking believe how well it worked. He was so giddy.

I want someone to prove his LLM can be as insightful and accurate as paid one.

Are you using LLMs as search engines?

Bold.

I use Gemma, LLama 3.2, and Deepseek to either fix formatting, summarize documentation to give me commands for Linux software, and write simple code structure for me to refine into working code.

Sure it takes longer to generate than a cloud compute would, but

1. privacy obviously. I know you dismissed it but that’s really the biggest reason anyone will have.

2. this feels better environmentally. I actually don’t know if that’s true, but it objectively touches less computers for such simple tasks. It would be wasteful of infrastructure to do it over the web.

3. it’s just cooler to have a conversation with my computer. I’ve learned a lot about how the whole process works and that’s more valuable to me as a non dev than just getting the end results.

It’s unfathomable to me how someone could spend that kinda money without talking to an expert or a government surveyor or something!

I spent a month considering if I should get a $500 GPU and I still fucked that up as it isn’t even working on my Linux server yet.

Missed the lore.

Why boycott .ml ?
