You just don’t vote for them and hope they go away.

Can you sudo dmesg | grep microcode and see if you have any errors?

If so, I’d be inclined to sudo dnf reinstall microcode_ctl then do a sudo dracut -f to regenerate the initramfs, and reboot. Be sure to have a working fallback kernel like LTS installed so you can recover if need be.

Edit: I just read you changed to Ubuntu. I can’t be arsed to figure out how Ubuntu does this stuff so that’s on you to figure out. Alternatively, install Arch and use intel-ucode package.

Today , to asklemmy in What's the hardest you've ever hit your head on something or something hit yours?

1- Golf Ball. Tee shot to the forehead. I heard it before i felt it. “What was that?..Oh fuck!!”

2- I was helping a kid at special Olympics bowling who wore a hard helmet. No one told me he could be violent. He threw his head back and bashed me between the eyes. That the day i learned that seeing stars is a real thing.

I think that doing some soul searching and determining if the friendship you have with the person is something you can continue healthily is a big thing a lot of people don’t do. Then just taking time and distracting yourself with other positive interests that help you feel good about yourself so you don’t do the why aren’t I good enough spiral. Other than that just making sure you don’t continue to push the issue or guilt the person for not wanting a romantic relationship

There’s nothing wrong with rebounding, as long as you recognize that’s what you’re doing. Have a fling, just try not to break any hearts. Let them know you’re just having fun and aren’t ready for something serious.

But to your first question, distract yourself with as many interesting things as you can. People, games, movies, sports, work, hobbies. Find the next exciting thing. Basically, continue thriving after the adversity of rejection.

iAmTheTot , to asklemmy in How do you get over a crush?

Time. Try to focus on hobbies or other things you enjoy, try to surround yourself with positive influences, and let time do the work.

KazuchijouNo , to asklemmy in How do you get over a crush?

Work on yourself :D Do things that you like, go out with friends, pickup a new hobby. You know, people come and go, you’ll have yourself until you die

Skele-tim said he can run the fastest without any flesh or meat weighing him down.

Muscle-man claimed he will run fastest because he is pure power with no foolish, saggy skin holding him back.

PhlubbaDubba , to nostupidquestions in How come the come the PKK is a "terrorist group" when basicaly all they want is just to be recognized?

Because they demand recognition via acts of terrorism.

Like we can have a discussion about how closely linked Rojava are to them but the PKK itself is undeniably a terrorist organization that engages in terror tactics to pursue its aims of recognition as an independent state.

Just because we might agree with the IRA in principle doesn’t change the fact that they did a fucking lot of car bombings, and the same principle applies here.

Realize that the person who rejected you is the wrong person, since why would you want someone who doesn’t want you? Dodged a bullet there

mocha_lotsofmilk , to asklemmy in What rule or rules would you add to the ten commandments of web etiquette?

Wild assertion that these are semi-famous with only just over 4k views on the original post. And on DA in 2021 no less. I’ve seen no name YouTubers with higher subscriber counts.

  1. Always err on the side of scepticism when reading things online, especially when those things assert themselves as truth.
lordnikon , to nostupidquestions in Why won't companies easy re release old games or at least make very old ones free?

Companies don’t want you to play games already out it’s about controlling what you do play and breaking an old game from running is a feature not a bug. If I could develop a game where customers get nothing and you are required to pay them money. It would be the top funded game by every AAA publisher. Remember the people at the top and especially the shareholders don’t care about games.

They care about money and vendor lock in and planned obsolescence is how they get it. Because enough people have yet to say enough is enough. They do that with Legacy IPs because most people say well I bought the first one I wouldn’t be a real fan if I didn’t buy the next one.

I hate how accurate this is. However, it can also hurt them because there have been many franchises I’ve refused to buy because I never played the first games and I don’t want to jump into the middle of a story I’m unfamiliar with. I’m a bit of a completionist like that.

I wonder if this is why a lot of games are no longer numbering their new releases and just giving them unique titles. So people don’t think of them as a series and are more willing to buy the latest releases.

On a related topic, I HATE how Call of Duty just made a totally new game and called it Modem Warfare, then started up a new franchise with MWII, MWII, etc. We already had Modern Warfare 1-3! It’s like they’re trying to erase/overwrite their old franchise so when people look them up, they just find the latest games. Very sneaky!

EDIT:

This is where microtransactions and DLC (like useless character/weapon skins) come from. The customer gets practically nothing, but they pay the company so much money for it. There are tons of games that thrive on this model (especially mobile games) because selling microtransactions and extra downloadable content that’s just a recoloring of a skin makes way more money than just selling the base game.

lordnikon ,

oh it will definitely hurt them long term but shareholders and therefore leadership bonuses only think in terms of quarter by quarter. So any long term sustainably gets thrown out the window. Same goes for energy companies and the planet.

Just watched the episode of prehistoric planet with my SO where the Dreadnaughti use frog bellows for signalling and mating displays

Now I’m wondering if they cited her specifically on that one

Gym(exercise, walk), reading(knowledge) and meditation, and never ever have contact with he/she again(no friends or whatever).
