When I used Windows I mainly bought on Gog for the DRM-free aspect. Now that I’ve switched to Linux almost completely, I find Steam’s software for running Windows games on Linux to be just about the most seamless and easy to use, compared to other stuff I’ve tried like Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher.

I use SDF and I’m happy with it but his second point is that the instance should defederate/not tolerate Nazis, which SDF doesn’t fit the bill

Yeah it wouldn’t bother me so much if any of it was actually useful, but they all just read like a lazy student padding out the page count on a college paper

I searched for a comparison between two USB flash drive brands and the top result waffled for multiple paragraphs about the history and definition of “flash memory” before finally recommending: “just get whichever one has the best performance in your price range”. Gee, thanks AI.

It’s tough because I almost feel like I need a whitelist at this point. 90% of the first page of Google results usually read like AI-generated fluff that doesn’t actually even answer my question. There are a handful of websites I trust now to give me real information and not just clickbait SEO nonsense.

I’m at the point where I add “reddit” to the end of every search just to try and find something that was written by a real person. Maybe someday I can start adding “lemmy” instead.

I’m using MX xfce to revive an old laptop that was struggling with Windows 10. I think it looks and feels great considering the performance.

Growing up, whenever I was sick with an upset stomach, my mom would give me 7up to drink. I dunno, I guess she figured the carbonation would help? Now decades later 7up still reminds me of the taste of vomit.

The patch sounds like a pretty big overhaul so I’m waiting for that before I start playing again. I just wish we had more than a week between the patch and the expansion.

Yeah it’s not that I think they’re above this kind of petty bullshit, but I don’t get why they’d go “fuck this guy in particular”.

That said, even if the guy admitted to running the world’s biggest pirate ring, screw them anyway

and this time i’m not even dual booting.

I’m so close to doing the same thing. We’re at the point where proton compatibility is good enough that most of the games in my library work. And even if a game truly doesn’t work on Linux at all, I just talk myself out of buying it anyway.

I think I pretty much only boot up Windows once every few weeks to keep it updated.

INSTALL GENTOO

I really like the tiling but I’m getting a bit tired of GNOME.

There was also a bug where some communities would have @instancename even on their home instance, like lemmy.world/c/[email protected]. It would continue to work on the home instance but break federation with other instances. I don’t know if it’s still happening on the latest update.

I feel like a bit of a hypocrite, because I’ll complain about almost every aspect of this game until I’m blue in the face, but I still put like 200+ hours into it. Same for Skyrim actually.

basically yeah, maybe it’s not as funny as calling them “Xporn” but I don’t see why only picture subs need to have juvenile meme names

it’s not too bad when it’s a silly one-off thing like “foodporn” but by the time we go full Reddit and get to “animal porn” then we’ve clearly gone too far

So dumb. There’s already a c/foodporn but hopefully it stops there.

This seems like a smart way to do it. If mods could make it an automatic one-click thing, and then let users combine those into a single merged feed, it would be a nice way to have a single cohesive community across multiple instances while still enjoying the benefits of federation.

God the recommendations based on my shelf are completely worthless. I gave the Fellowship of the Ring five stars and now all my recs are totally clogged up with art books and behind-the-scenes stuff about the movies. Oh yeah, please keep showing me audiobook versions of shit I already read!

No worries! After they’re done working out some of the major bugs, I’m really hoping they eventually roll some of this search functionality into the site itself.

Seconding the X Without Numbers series. I don’t even play Worlds Without Number but it’s a goldmine of tools for sandbox campaign-building for an OSR D&D game. Cities Without Numbers is shaping up pretty well too. I’d certainly rather play that than try to wrap my head around the Shadowrun system.

They all have free versions too, which is nice.

Which ones have you tried?

I don’t know if it has everything, but [email protected] shows up when I search “emulation” on https://lemmyverse.net
