Better general medical science. So much of what we use is very old tech. We still can’t regrow cartligage. We still pin bones together with titanium screws. We still mostly use fiberglass casts (though better alternatives exist). We still catch the common cold.

Yeah, I have a retro device that I spent hours configuring. When I finally had everything working… something got corrupted and I had to start over. I have not had the energy to try again.

I would vastly prefer a preconfigured setup.

Hated the ending. I thought the game was finally about to get good, then it was the end, and a bad one.

Worse I would assume. Bridges always get icy in the winter. Same principal I think.

I have one machine in Linux and another in Windows. I’ve also made bootable persistent thumb drives to save myself any accidents creating a dual boot. That way I can run Linux for daily stuff, and Windows when I’m too incompetent to figure out a workaround for a game or whatever.

Windows needs to be rebooted all the time anyway, so it’s not really that big of a deal to boot into something else now and then. Plus it gives you a little change of pace.

Fox News. Endless propaganda and ratings driven idiocy. People watch the most alarmist “news” and they jump on this bandwagon of stupidity. In particular, people of limited education/intelligence love to be anti science, because for once they can feel like the person that is actually smart.

It’s scary.

Wow, that was a long, informative watch. Kinda wish they had a tldr;

My take:

• Run water until it’s hot prior to starting dishwasher
• Powder is probably intentionally ‘nerfed’ at the store to sell pods
• Pods didn’t necessarily outperform powder

Unfortunately, the product that they came up with is probably more expensive than my Costco pods. But at least I learned stuff.

I’ve seen my cousin on several “reality” shows. He’s a professional sound guy, but sometimes they put him on set as a customer or whatever when they need a body. They’re all staged.

Holy fuck. I loathe the digital ads. I cannot think of something more insulting to the fan base or stupid for the growth of a niche sport.

Let’s see, the game is already difficult to track? Yeah, let’s add motion in the background, ads on the glass, and… banner ads across the scoreboard feed at the bottom of the screen.

Bettman can eat shit.

I can’t imagine the NFL pissing all over their premium product like this. I don’t even like football, but they do a great job making it easy to watch

Meh. Reddit had a very strong political bias.

Lemmy doesn’t have the same polish, it’s a little more difficult to create an account, and doesn’t have any marketing. Also success snowballs.

I respect the crap out of everyone that pitches in to make Lemmy as good as it is. But if I’m being real, I’m here to spite Reddit. Few people have that moral give-a-fuck. Spite is easy, following through to do something that is more challenging and pays nothing is not.

Aside from the config this looks cool

I bought a Retroid 3+ a while ago. It was an interesting experiment, but ultimately a pain in the ass to configure.

Ideally I just want to select a rom or game and play. I really don’t enjoy spending hours in settings and tweaking every detail to get a have to run decently. I don’t need AAA, but GameCube and PS2 would be cool.

Is that a thing? Or am I doomed to hangout in RetroArch settings?

I recently tried duo lingo. I have a pretty strong background in Spanish, but want to brush up. It became apparent very quickly that the app is not about learning so much as keeping you in it. The lessons don’t make a ton of sense, and after not using app for a week, it demoted me to just 8 words that you would learn in your first class (hombre, el, agua, tu, etc.). There is no way to skip ahead.

In addition to dual booting, you can create a persistent USB drive. It’s a little tedious, but kind of a cool way to give your setup a spin.

I think you need Rufus to format the drive, to set up the USB drive so it doesn’t refresh when you reboot. I’m sure there are speed implications, but I’ve actually found it snappy enough for basic stuff once it loads. It’s a cool way to try different distros. I have a handful lying around. I still preferred mint in the end.

No, it will work out for them. They just made a 50% profit increase. I doubt if even 10% of subscribers cancel.

It worked for Netflix, Disney+, Hulu… People just need to stop buying shit, but they won’t.

… And the file is back open somehow. Only now the program throws an error when Windows launches, yet still leeches resources.

Same. I had two. They both started tracking weird after a few months. I’ve never had that issue with another mouse. Aside from that, the physical build of the mouse was the coolest design.

Why we can’t have nice things?.. Like Uncharted 5?

The lack of permance gets to be more and more problematic as you go on too.

I love the game, but it would still be very difficult even if you got to keep all of your items permanently, books from the library, etc.

At some point I’ll cave and watch how far others have gotten, but I’m not there yet.

Good luck. The further you get in this game, the more difficult and complex it gets. I have sheets of scribbled notes.

Bidet.

Yeah. I said it.
