intensely_human , to asklemmy in Toy/game makers often list skills children learn while playing them. What skills would adult games develop?

I play Overwatch 2 to keep my processing speed up (one of the best predictors of long term mental health into old age).

I got my boomer father an xbox for the same reason.

Stuff like this from .ml is cheating lmao

Oh, you mean the Marxist leninists censor discourse to fit their narrative?! Since when?

The problem is that the game developers at Valve don’t know or care about their own platform. CS2 on Linux is an afterthought, possibly even ported by other people within Valve. CS2 had a lengthy beta period on Windows, with the formal CS2 release, the beta cycle on Linux just started.

rotopenguin , to linux in Is there a program that I can run on my laptop to tell me what Linux distro supports the hardware out of the box? Also whether the hardware is supported at all?
@rotopenguin@infosec.pub avatar

If the distro just boots into a live session, you can get a pretty good idea there. They’re all working off of roughly the same kernel and driver and firmware sets, give or take some distros being a year out of date. The slower distros have something like “backports” or “enablement kernels” to still give you the option of pulling in newer stuff.

The graphics situation (compositor and mesa and kernel drivers and userland driver libraries) is more complicated. Especially with Nvidia. Your distro choice makes a much bigger impact there.

nokturne213 , to asklemmy in Be honest: have you ever lost your temper with a customer service rep? And did it ever help?

Yes. There was a new streaming service that I signed up for. I used an email alias and the confirmation email never arrived. They had no way to change my email address or activate my account except for me clicking the link in my email.

After a month my free trial expired (without me ever being able to log in), they added a second month of free trial while trying to activate my account. This went on for 5 months, finally the 6th month they did not give me another free month and I was charged. Still no solution for the situation. 7th month arrives and I get charged again. The 8th month I lost it. I knew most of the support and customer service reps at this point as I had talked with also all of them multiple times a week for months. But with no solution in sight and being charged for multiple times months I finally lost it on one of the CSRs. Surprisingly while I was on the phone with them they were able to cancel my account and issue a refund.

intensely_human , to asklemmy in If you like romance in fiction, how do you like it? Realistic or Idealistic?

I like my realism and my idealism mixed into one integrated whole. In other words, I’m a fan of objectivist fiction.

It’s all just one researcher and his best pal octopus taking all the biology budget to have a blast on the weekends.

Maggoty , to nostupidquestions in Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question)

Teenagers do stupid shit. So while it’s not something everyone does, it absolutely happens. No it’s not something anyone should seriously try. You cannot effectively clean a vegetable and it can break, requiring embarrassing medical attention.

And yes, one of the reasons for an allowance is because teenagers need some agency and privacy to become normal healthy adults. If they want to explore their sexuality alone it’s perfectly natural.

RaoulDook , to asklemmy in [Serious] Best Pee Strat

When you’re trying to pee, try working up some spit in your mouth like you’re going to spit a bunch of saliva out. Not a loogie from the throat / sinus area but plain spit from under your tongue. For me it seems like this is connected to the piss-releasing nerves and helps to let it flow.

pwnicholson , to android in Are you excited about the upcoming Pixel 9, or have you given up on Google hardware?
@pwnicholson@lemmy.world avatar

Pixel phones have been too big for me for a while. They won’t fit in my pockets comfortably and I don’t want to have to stretch to reach the top of the screen. Come out with something 5.75" tall or less and I’ll re-engage.

root ,

Yes. My Zenfone 8 is “small” but I want it even more compact. My old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact is the perfect size!

What are you using now?

@pwnicholson@lemmy.world avatar

Galaxy S22 with Nova launcher getting rid of the Samsung UI and making it note pixel-like.

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

That’s not too big?

pwnicholson ,
@pwnicholson@lemmy.world avatar

It’s 5.75" tall, so no. It’s as big as I want to go. I’d love something a bit smaller to be sure

Zerfallen ,

It’s the smallest option, so doesn’t really matter.

Player2 ,

You might be interested in finding an alternative to Nova, they got aquired a couple years ago

You can still lock down privacy stuff to a fair degree. I’m keeping an eye on it

Yes, I am still on my pixel 5 for that reason but I really need a new one

pwnicholson ,
@pwnicholson@lemmy.world avatar

I held on to mine for so long, but after they stopped getting updates, I bailed since the S22 wasn’t massively larger.

tja ,
@tja@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yes, nur then there is so much Samsung stuff on it. Maybe I’ll have to do it like you and modify it then

pwnicholson ,
@pwnicholson@lemmy.world avatar

It’s pretty easy to strip most of it off. It’s definitely an adjustment, but I got used to it (the remaining things I couldn’t change) pretty quickly
