What was your first videogame that made you say "Ok, I need to play this game properly: I need to upgrade my specs"?
Going back to your beginnings in PC gaming: the first game you played and loved, but the frame rate and resolution weren’t ideal. Your first “I need/want to upgrade my specs” basically.
How do I subscribe to content outside of lemmy?
I apologize if there’s posts on this already. I’m still new here, and it’s very confusing....
Viewing lemmy posts by all tends to be dominated by a few communities
I’ve noticed that there are a few communities that tend to dominate when viewing all. Some days it gets to where looking at all isn’t very different than just looking at [email protected] or [email protected]....
What CLI apps you use to do common tasks like editing (pdf, audio, video, image) files.
Here is my list:...
Linux/Windows dual boot question
If I have Linux installed on an SSD and I plug it into a Windows computer (a PC which I did not use to install linux onto the SSD), would I be able to use linux in that PC from the SSD?
Alternative to Writefreely for blog?
Those who blog in the fediverse, what do you use? Writefreely is a bit too minimalist for what I want to do. Is the best alternative for me to just use wordpress with the activitypub plugin?
Who is the most famous person you've ever met?
For me it was Jeff Kinney. I was meeting a different author I love, but there wasn’t enough room downstairs and we had to go up. Turns out that’s exactly where Jeff Kinney works! He’s the author who got me into reading so I thought that was so cool

Any City-builders which are great for the SteamDeck?
Wondering if there are any recommendations for city-builders on the steam deck. Preferably with a realistic 3d style. I’m not fond of 2d games or cartoon graphics for these kind of games. Also war shouldn’t be the biggest focus. I prefer a more relaxed game. Really would like to find one which people can recommend for the...
Suggestions for lightweight browsers for Ubuntu?
I have an old laptop which didn’t exactly have top of the line specs when I bought it back in 2016. It does, however, run Ubuntu pretty competently (yes I know there are better distros, no I am not going to use them). It was cheap. As in it came with a Celeron in 2016 cheap, so it isn’t the speediest little guy....
Google workspace replacement
So I got the dreaded over storage limit email and need a replacement storage option. Preferably cloud based as I have an abysmal 20mbps upload from Xfinity. Or I was thinking of going the Plex debrid route. Is it possible to host that on a seed box and run it through Plex to maintain one ip address? That way I can get around my...

My phone installed 6 apps on its own
I found Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Amazon, Netflix, and Spotify on my home, yet I never even visited their websites on this phone. I never recently installed or visited sus places, I ran a full scan with Kaspersky, found nothing. I disabled “MetaAppInstall” from the settings. I have a Redmi Note 12 Pro. I did some googling...
Do you use VMWare ROBO Licensing? Price changes coming
We recently had a meeting with our new (as in 4th in a year) rep. They let us know ROBO licensing is moving away from the VM Pack method it is now to per socket licensing. Minimum of 16 core per socket purchase, and you can’t stretch a license across multiple cores....
