[ExtraFabulous] Why God?
  • That's your throat.

  • Enshittification only hurts product itself.
  • I've been running mint full time for a couple months now and it's been amazing how little i have actually had to do to get the games running.

  • Enshittification only hurts product itself.
  • I still miss the windows 7 glass look. That was peak desktop layout. Everything you need, nothing you don't.

    And then they threw all of that good design away for a relatively mid mobile showing.

    That didn't make it a bad OS though

    Interface design is an incredibly important part of software development. The users weren't wrong when they shunned windows 8, microsoft was wrong for shitting on 30 years of interface development.

  • *Works lever*
  • I was reference self defense when talking about using a gun as a tool. As a hobby / range gun it is also fun, but arguing levels of fun is an excersize in futility.

    You can get a semi auto that fires 22lr, and that is cheap as hell, but it's not actually all that important, as compared to a semi auto for self defence.

    As far as I know, BLM land is just about the only option available to everyone for night shooting.

  • *Works lever*
  • I've got a WWII Japanese bolt gun and the action on that thing is just so dang smooth. If the kick wasn't so bad and the rounds weren't so expensive I'd be taking it to the range a whole lot more than I currently do. I really should add a lever gun too.

  • *Works lever*
  • There is not much that can beat being able send thirty rounds downrange in 15 seconds. A semi-auto is a tool that does its job incredibly well.

    A lever gun will just do its job pretty well, but will also be a lot of fun.

  • Tired of bluetooth problems, should I get a wired mouse or a bluetooth dongle?
  • Brother laser printers last for years without issue. My point was that so long as you put in a little effort to find something that isn't cheap shit you can actually get a product without any major issues.

    Cheap wireless earbuds will fail, and will cause all sorts of frustration. On the other hand, well sourced earbuds will work for years without problems, just like printers.

  • Tired of bluetooth problems, should I get a wired mouse or a bluetooth dongle?
  • My wireless g304 has been rock solid for years now. The battery lasts about 48 hours of active use before needing to be recharged. My Logitech ergo lift mouse has been rock solid for the past year as well and it's still running on it's very first battery!

    I bought both for wrist pain reasons and for the most part they have also been very helpful for that too. Part of the reason I went wireless even for gaming is that the cable always dragged and caused issues with the mouse catching on occassion. It's very worth whatever "instability" you might see for any product that moves.

    My wireless earbuds have been rock solid for several years as well. As far as I'm concerned, wireless has been a solved problem for a little while now, similar to printers. There's no point in needing a battery for something that doesn't move, like a keyboard, but damn if it isn't really nice for something that does.

  • If someone doesn't wear a seatbelt and kills another person as a result who is wearing a seatbelt could that person face a manslaughter charge?
  • That's on the driver. If you're driving, you are responsible for everyone in the car and out of it. If you drove off with someone unbuckled, that's on you.

  • The grand prize
  • Turns out it managed to do it right this time, so, maybe!

  • The grand prize
  • Why the heck are you giving an llm a math problem?

  • This is why I still use an Android custom ROM in 2024
  • This is offtopic, but fuck it, might as well.

    Why do you use a digital wallet? For me, money is one of those thing I literally can't allow to fail; growing up poor means it's still a touchy subject. A digital wallet adds extra risk of payment failure everytime it is used.

    So, what does a digital wallet add that makes it worth not just the effort of setting it up in a stock system, but also in a custom ROM where it is actively broken by the app developers as a form of "security"?

    For reference, I still keep cash on my person in case my cards (or their machine) fails.

    I know I posted this on your comment, but I would love to hear everyone's answer to this.

  • "It's kind of remarkable how seldom we stab ourselves in the face with a fork" [Haircut Practice]
  • Oof. I use the fork sideways - the pointy bits never go directly at my face. I'd never thought about why until this post.

  • If you're in the US, how are you preparing for the election and dealing with the stress?
  • I've already voted. I don't have the ability to volunteer for anything, so I'm working on removing all the doomer posting and adding blocks on my feeds. No point in stressing about something I have no more ability to help with.

  • Jellyfin 10.10.0 media server released
  • Network paths in libraries have been fully removed and will no longer work. This functionality has been deprecated for a long time, and most of it was removed in 10.9.0, but this removes the remainder. See PR #12446. Third-party clients relying on this functionality should be able to re-implement it as required.

    from the article.

  • Jellyfin 10.10.0 media server released
  • Shame about the network location regression. That's the only thing that keeps my kodi device from taking 5-15 seconds to load each sub menu.

  • Anon gives up dating apps
  • The local city reddit/discord is gonna have regular hangouts if your city is big enough. That's been my go-to starting point everytime I move.

    I managed to get an in-person DND group going by visiting the local game store. There's also the other card / roleplay games available too.

    Depending on your age, there's also the local college groups. You could join a cycling group, or a running geoup. Hell, the queer group in my town has a first Sunday coffee meetup.

    It's easy to shut down any suggestions but damn, if all you ever do is naysay shit, then you're never gonna get anywhere. Do you want to find friends and romantic partners, or do you want to spend your time crapping on online dating?

  • YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns"
  • No it doesn't. Future promises are nothing to the now. Just because I didn't add a "for now" to my first comment doesn't mean i'm "literally" wrong.

  • I reject your reality and substitute my own!
