strap on

fuck advertisements, really.

I would love to shop on Sundays. Just because there’s official business days doesn’t mean 5/7 days need to be the same for every business. In my city, many restaurants close shop on Tuesday and they are open on Saturdays and Sundays.

A friend of mine has a 7 day work week with 3 days off, so he can choose whenever. That’s the best model, IMHO. He has two fixed days (he chose Friday and Saturday) and the other one is “floating”.

However, he still has 35 hours to work, so realistically he usually still works 5 days most of the time.

You can use AI to remove watermarks and upscale.

The Windows application is also based on Electron.

Lutris.net is an alternative to Playnite.

You can install Teams with flatpak. The only things not working are giving or taking control of the computer (so, KVMoIP) and screen sharing with Wayland.

Found the millenial

If you can get down, you can always get up. Life always continues until it ends. If it’s not the end, it’s not the end.

Sounds like a boomer’s postcard version of #yolo doesn’t it 😃

Look at old humble bundle statistics. Linux users usually paid more than mac and windows users.

what do you mean by “infamous”?

I run tilde.fun but I’m a lazy admin and people wait months to get an account 😅

Hello. I am Birdperson.

Plants save our planet while humans are animals and destroy it. Therefore, they are superior to animals. Q.e.d.

Maybe you can find some pictures older than 70 years in some internet archive, as that’s when the American copyright says something is public domain, IIRC.

Some very specific and less popular media like your Elvis stuff maybe just needs to be bought. The time you lost on searching for those and posting here repeatedly you could have spent working a minimum wage job in most economies and afford to buy it.

Can’t you just go with the next lower resolution instead? It’s usually not linearly but exponentially more expensive, the higher the resolution is.

I agree with sanctions against states and companies but sanctions against Open Source Software if it’s not malicious are very weird.

ah, then we have a pretty similar definition :)

This sounds exactly like George Orwell’s 1984.

few years go it’d parp out like that on a regular basis.

yes, actually the availability of big sites is pretty impressive if you look at it from a technical standpoint, especially for those huge (legacy) code bases. You saw that when Twitter got its SREs and developers removed, it took only a week to start crumbling and having weird outages and bugs.

Oh so they only have 99.9% availability instead of 99.95%? That’s surely better than the hobbyists running the Fediverse.

I like to shit on huge sites like Reddit, Twitter, Facebook etc. all day long but their SREs are usually doing a very good job on keeping the site running. 100% uptime is nearly unachievable, at my job (as an SRE!) 99.5% is actually the benchmark, depending on the metric.

Xi received 2952 votes out of the 2952 NPC delegates present.

I’m pretty sure getting exactly or over 100% of the vote is much more likely in a fascist government than it is in a democracy.

Is it possible for parliamentary members to abstain from the vote? Why did nobody do it?

My list:

• No Man’s Sky – exploring the universe
• Parkitect, OpenRCT – building a theme park
• Satisfactory – building a factory, exploiting a planet with Diesel trucks without destroying the real life one

What defines a sandbox for you?-

Basically, every time a video title or an article asks a question, you can just answer ‘no’ without having watched or read it nowadays. It’s usually clickbait.

why can’t they just include an RJ45 port 😓

I want it to have MS Teams integration, I’d even pay 😩

Why not Linux

Why?

Fuck Putin.

thank God :D

Just to be sure: this is irony because Russia started a territorial war, right?

He can still have experiences in nature. Maybe he’s more inspired then.

And they continue to wonder why everyone buys from the abysmal Amazon.

oops I was meant to post this from my lemmygrad account. Sorry comrade

My point of view of this matter is that it is mainly a lack of skills and bad culture.

Amen!

Are you Russian or did you talk to Russians online who play CSGO? Can you talk more about your experiences in that game which lead you to that conclusion?

I didn’t play much since the war started. Before it was either regular banter or toxic behavior not specifically biased against Russians, now it obviously got worse, because many people think that the Russian people is gaslighted by their government.

I have encountered many friendly Russians with whom I played and we mockingly insulted each other in various languages without ill will, and I have encountered many people who were toxic and started to flame right away, on both the Russian and the non-Russian sides.

If you say telling people who don’t talk English in an international video game, when you asked them multiple times, to fuck off is ‘russophobia’, you could say there’s ‘Germophobia’ (or whatever you call bias against Germans) as well. I wouldn’t go so far.

How can you say cyka blyat in a non-mocking tone?

You can add “transphobe” to the title @krolden@lemmy.ml, as in her official telegram channel she said:

we women will always stand together 🧡

Pretty sure that self proclaimed 22yo woman is secretly an incel getting a kick out of ‘triggering the libtards’ 🙃

I’d rather use the word “harm” than “damage”, since “damage” removes the perpetrator from the equation. However, fewer words are not optimal in that case. I’m glad you clarified all that :)

this rants are just silly don’t mind it

I mind it when there’s homophobic slurs. Just looking away is what enables gay people feeling misunderstood and bullied. How would you feel if e.g. your first name or your sexual orientation was used as an insult by everyone?

she/he idk what is empress got talent far above us

Speak of yourself. Empress is some unemployed dude or girl in a basement cracking Denuvo games. They’re not doing much else, they’re also clearly not showing other cracking groups how it’s done. They just do it for fame.

It’s fair to say Empress has a lot of talent and skills. Most people can’t crack Denuvo games as it requires skill and dedication and lots of time. I really appreciate the work Empress is doing. But that doesn’t mean that their actions are above scrutiny. Just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you can be homophobic or insult people who didn’t do you any wrong.

if you can crack games free then you can say that but if you dont well then dont bother others

That looks like a logical fallacy, more specifically the appeal to accomplishment. By this logic you can’t criticise me either, because I have skills in something.

I also once cracked a game myself – funnily, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone on PC back when. About ten groups did it before me so I didn’t get any fame, but I had fun. I just added a jump instruction so the CD in the drive wasn’t checked. Way easier back then than Denuvo today, but I fulfilled your requirement and by your logic can criticise Empress. You can however criticise me or get back to the topic as long as you have valid points and don’t appeal to authority.

Stop thinking just because someone can do something many others don’t they don’t deserve to be called out for bad things they do.
