Pull everything you can and put it on archive.org.

Venator , to nostupidquestions in How do you drive in Cyberpunk???

In addition to the other advice, also turn your graphics down, it seems like the keyboard steering smoothing happens on a frame by frame basis and just doesn’t work well generally, but the lower your framerate is, the worse it gets.

Or just use the metro/fast travel 😅

Cars suck, use metro

I wish I had that luxury IRL

yt-dlp is generally the best open source tool for downloading/backing up videos from the internet. Despite the name, it works with thousands of video streaming sites, not just youtube. Completely free. I would never pay for a video downloading software.

It is command line based though. I’m sure there are forks with a UI, but I’m not familiar with them. There is a fairly detailed wiki for it, and a discord support channel. The defaults are fine for youtube back ups.

I would reccomend uploading whatever you back up to the Internet Archive. Then you aren’t responsible for hosting, and it’s available to the public.

I’ll take a look at that program, only thing I’m digging about the 4k Downloader is it channeling my inner Ron-Co spokesman and being able to set it and forget it for full playlists. Command line isn’t a big deal though, I grew up having to play games in MS-DOS. Thanks for the lead though I’ll check it out tonight.

darkpanda , to asklemmy in Have you been stolen from?

I had a car broken into, but there wasn’t anything worth taking, so they slashed a tire on their way out. Luckily they left enough clear fingerprints that they were actually ID’d and had to pay for my slashed tire. They had broken into several cars in the area and I guess their fingerprints on my window was their undoing.

Frankly it was more insulting that they didn’t think any of my stuff was worth taking. :/

@toomanypancakes@lemmy.world avatar

When I was in elementary school there was a kid that kept bullying me. One day I was walking home with my older brother, and the jerk was chucking rocks at us. We both kind of ignored him until he pelted me in the side of the head, leaving a nasty ass welt. My brother chased him down after that, picked him up, and threw the jerk and his skateboard across the road. I didn’t get fucked with again, and later on in high school the guy apologized to me.

I don’t really talk to my brother anymore after he pulled a gun on my friend he was dating, but I’ll always remember the time he defended the fuck out of me.

catloaf , to android in Flickboard or 8Vim, which "Fast Typing" Keyboard should I try to learn?

I’ve never felt the need for such a thing, but why limit yourself to just one? Just try both and see if they work for you.

someguy3 , to science in Is there a scientific calendar which uses a different reference than Jesus?

Chinese calendar?

CCRhode , to linux in De-duplicating/merging contacts in a .vcf file
@CCRhode@lemmy.ml avatar

Does anyone know how I can merge/deduplicate contacts in a .vcf vcard file?

Tonto2 is a python 3/Qt graphical app that runs on desktops. It’s main purpose is not to manipulate *.vcf files, but the appendix to the instruction pages tells how, anyway. Tonto2 uses a spread-sheet-like presentation paradigm. With appropriate magical mystical spells, you can import *.vcf as *.csv and sort the *.csv by last-name, phone-number, eMail, zip-code, or whatever. It won’t de-dup, but you can spot the duplicates easier once they’re collated next to one another in one sequence or another. Show just the significant attributes. Probably you’ll want to sort, look, sort, and look again. Killing entries is nearly as simple as checking them off. FAIR WARNING: This process is time consuming, frustrating, and fraught with peril. Keep several versions of your address list until you’re sure the final is the one you want to keep forever. My experience is that I always find stuff I want to keep in each of all (sometimes more than two) duplicate entries, so deleting the dup’s is not what’s called for. Merging means manually copying from one entry and pasting into another. Due to the judgemental nature of how to handle conflicting and out-of-date info, I’ve hesitated to try to automate the process.

@Weirdmusic@lemmy.world avatar

Maybe a calendar that starts with the creation of the Earth (approx 4 billion years ago) as it’s starting point?

AbidanYre ,

Like that joke about the T-Rex that’s 65 million and 10 years old.

Don’t tell me whom I should or should not know.

golden_zealot , (edited ) to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?
@golden_zealot@lemmy.ml avatar

People like Arch because to many it feels more truly like your system than other distributions.

It isn’t that Arch is in some way more customizable than other distros, rather it’s that if there is a package on your Arch system, its probably there because it was your choice to put it there in the first place, and so the system can feel more representative of you given it only contains the things you want or need and nothing more from the get go.

RobotToaster , to fediverse in Out of curiosity why is BeeHaw defederated from shitjustworks?
@RobotToaster@mander.xyz avatar

They’re defederated from virtually everyone. They may as well just use phpbb at this point.

When Reddit announced their API thing, I moved to beehaw (LW didn’t exist) and it was cool! Then they defederated from instance one by one… So I opened an account on LW.

Beehaw is about dead, 70 users per day…

Quill7513 ,

Beehaw is my main instance. That number doesn’t sound right at all…

@Magister@lemmy.world avatar

if you go on the web page of beehaw, it says:

76 users / day

208 users / week

393 users / month

idk I think even with federation fully disabled, Lemmy is still better than phpbb
