I don’t understand why (even while I sense it happening to me in real time) but it seems like part of getting older is enjoying drinks that are shitty on purpose.

Get a long crazy straw and then squeeze the bag under your arm like the patron saint of bagpipes and alcoholism.

I don’t piss at all, I just hold it in until it solidifies then squeeze kidney stones out like forcing a bunch of caltrops through a tube of gogurt.

All guns make holes.

Okay you had my curiosity but now you have my attention.

Lemmy is definitely the most pain in the ass service that I self host. Most annoyingly when something goes wrong I can’t just go on Lemmy until I feel like fixing it.

Maybe it really is just playing GameCube and exchanging high fives.

I’m torn because its inclusion feels like recency bias but I wonder if over time it will seem even more ill advised considering how much it does to try to set up a Kang storyline that never got off the ground.

While true, this was not in the game until over a year after launch. Otherwise I think basically every other vehicle (spaceship/tram/etc) is either a cutscene or a loading screen or both.

The loading screens were unavoidable back in maybe 2005 when they released Oblivion. But now it’s 20 years later and it’s pretty crazy that they are still dealing with the same limitations where the game is split up into zones with a max of like 12 NPCs each before you have to load in a new zone.

I understand it’s mostly due to the way they handle everything as a physics object in the game, but it’s hard to believe the gameplay sacrifices they are making just so I can dump like 100 cheese wheels or whatever on the ground and watch them roll around.

I played Cyberpunk again for the first time in a while and was thinking about how something simple like getting out of my car and taking an elevator up to an apartment had zero cutscenes. In Starfield it would have been a cutscene getting in the car, a loading screen for driving, a cutscene exiting the car, a loading screen entering the building, a loading screen entering the elevator, a loading screen entering the apartment…

I hiss at people for a living but I can’t compete with these prices.

They’re not expecting any one person to implement the whole thing.

Hahaha, tell that to leadership! 😩

If you can run 4k at high frame rates then sure but the performance hit can be huge and a lot of displays can only do 4k at 30Hz anyway which isn’t worth it when 1440p is usually an option.

I’ve not tried GPT4ALL but Ollama combined with Open WebUI is really great for selfhosted LLMs and can run with podman. I’m running Bazzite too and this is what I do.

I see there is an m.2 slot too with what looks to be a Kingston SSD.

I’m still confused what era this laptop is from. It might be a SATA m.2.

I got a pizza steel and it’s been a game changer. Now I make full sized pizzas at home and they are delicious.

Wayland was subject to “first mover disadvantage” for a long time. Why be the first to switch and have to solve all the problems? Instead be last and everyone else will do the hard work for you.

But without big players moving to it those issues never get fixed. And users rightly should not be forced to migrate to a broken system that isn’t ready. People just want a system that works right?

Eventually someone had to decide it was ‘good enough’ and try an industry wide push to move away from a hybrid approach that wastes developer time and confuses users.

Back in the day people paid for ringtones, wallpapers, etc. Dumbest thing ever were ‘ringbacks’ where you paid to have a song or something play when people called you. So the people buying it didn’t even hear it, they just forced other people to listen to a shitty low fidelity garbled mess of a song they liked while you waited for them to pick up the phone.

It’s kind of a paradox when you think about it. Good reviewers are often just regular people with a passion for tech but as they become more popular and prolific they become part of the industry itself. Once that happens even if they try to stay objective and critical their perspective is so different from regular people that reviews are just part of the sales and marketing strategy rather than pro tips from an enthusiast.
