And Lemmy… stays the same

In the future, Google will create a chatbot doppelganger of you and use it to recommend products to your friends and family.

It’s the least greasy browser that actually works with the modern web.

Nope. I have some that I used as a kid, and sometimes I reuse them when I can’t think of a new one for some throwaway service.

The idea of having an alternate online persona doesn’t appeal to me at all, nor does the idea of being well known or recognized in general. I don’t go out of my way to remain untraceable or anything cool like that, but switching up usernames every once in a while is easy to do.

Brother that is a wild fucking story. Write that shit down and turn it into a Netflix true crime mini-series.

As always, you gotta know both so that you can pick the right tool for the job.

When I deleted my reddit account many years ago, my productivity skyrocketed. It has now dipped considerably since I started using Lemmy, so I’ll probably stop doing that soon.

It’s not just the extra time you get from not using the site; there’s a very real effect on my ability to focus on tasks when I don’t have Reddit/Lemmy as an escape hatch.

I thought that losing my 10yo+ account would hurt, but it turned out that I didn’t give a shit.

I’ve been on Silverblue (well, Kinoite) for quite a while now, and the only issue I remember having was that I had to use flatseal once to give steam access to an external drive when adding a new library folder.

Everything seems to work fine. I’ve never been prevented from playing a game when I wanted to due to immutability or flatpak issues.

Maybe I’m in the minority here but I’m not a huge fan of the recent trend of sex in mainstream video games. Besides the janky awkwardness of polygons, there’s something off-putting to me about my character having sex. Am I supposed to be pretending that it’s me as I watch the animation happening? When I play a game (esp. an RPG) I can get really immersed in the experience and feel like the mouse/controller is an extension of my hand, shooting fireballs and whatnot. So is it also supposed to be an extension of my penis when my character starts having sex? Am I supposed to be jacking off for maximum immersion?

In movies it’s different because when a character in a movie has sex, the audience understands that they’re watching someone else do it. I’ve never seen a movie where I’m supposed to pretend like I’m the main character and I’m the one having sex. (Hardcore Henry notwithstanding)

I have nothing against porn or adult games as their own thing, but encountering it in a regular game always throws me out of the immersion. Coming from a mainstream studio, it also just feels like a desperate cash grab aimed at horny teenagers more than anything else, even if it’s nothing more than a short fade to black.

You’re telling me that when I hump a chicken breast from the supermarket that that counts as beastiality?! Wokeness has no limits smh.

Or my grandfather.

Just played for a few hours on my Steam Deck and yeah it does feel a lot like Fallout, but with extra steps. It’s very polished and I’m sure I’ll have a lot of fun with it eventually, but so far I’ve been disappointed with the little I’ve seen.

I got the game for free though, so I don’t feel too bad lol

I don’t trust anyone who invented Javascript.

Idk, but not anything that uses delta compression like git does.

Game developers use Perforce and Plastic scm which is (supposedly) optimized for images and other binary assets. I’ve never used them, but I’m sure a less-overkill and open source alternative exists somewhere.

There’s a joke here about Facebook spying on you

Don’t use git for images (or most other binary data)
