Expect bugs because NC is a pile of crap. She will get very annoyed, not even other payed cloud services come close to the level of integration Apple provides.

mjhelto , to nostupidquestions in Why is there so much hype around artificial intelligence?

It amazed people when it first launched and capitalists took that to mean replace all their jobs with AI. Where we wanted AI to make shit jobs easier, they used it to replace whole swaths of talent across the industry’s. Recent movies read like they were written almost entirely by AI. Like when Cartman was a robot and kept giving out terrible movie ideas.

cupcakezealot , to fediverse in What made everyone move to Bluesky or Threads instead of Mastodon?
@cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

because mastodon because dismissed twitter users concerns and thoughts the first exodus and bluesky implemented them in a way that’s closer to twitter.

hydroptic ,

… what

bss03 ,

There have been some complaints about Mastodon for years; both specific (“quote tweets”) and vague (get rid of shitty, often bigoted replies for profiles with a lot of followers or with a marginalized identity).

Mastodon largely hasn’t implemented them. Maybe Bluesky has. (I don’t have a BS account.)

cyclohexane ,

The fediverse has many micro blogging implementations outside of mastodon if you don’t like their featureset (and they federate with each other, unlike bluesky). The only features I couldn’t find are those that contributed to making Twitter the dystopian toxic space that it is.

bss03 ,

Using another ActivityPub-based interface is a LOT to ask for many users. They want a simple to pronounce name, they can stick in their browser’s universal bar and be on a sign-up page in less than 3 clicks without making any more choices.

😞

cyclohexane ,

Well I am speaking about users who may be picky about mastodon’s features. If someone is picky, I don’t imagine they’d care much about just finding a platform with their preferred features, similar to how they didn’t like mastodon and found bluesky instead.

Nah, still has a lot of bugs, it simply don’t have the same money that Microsoft has to fix quirks in certain hardware, and it’s too fragmented, Microsoft knows what kernel that interface gonna run, KDE don’t so they always need to fix for different kernels

untorquer ,

Microsoft has features, not bugs.

Really though, I’ve had less issues running KDE than Win11 by a longshot. The drivers have also just worked for all my hardware. My Win11 can’t figure out Bluetooth.

I choose to believe the more wholesome version that this is their gay, autistic, and genuinely endearing friend who got started on his special interest without realizing that nobody else cared, and his friends otherwise like him enough that they’re trying to figure out how to move the conversation forward without hurting his feelings after they all lost interest minutes ago.

“So during Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, Spock is passing through decks in the Enterprise, and we see one called Deck 78. Now you see, this class of Enterprise only has 23 decks, and so unless we assume someone misnamed this deck, how did this one get here? Some fans have speculated that maybe maybe Q put it there as a practical joke to confuse the audience, but why would Q use the number 78 specifically? This could be a reference to the episode All Our Yesterdays in The Original Series which is production code 78. In this episode, Spock reverts to being emotional like his primitive ancestors after traveling back through time, and this could be hinting to the idea that he secretly feels emotions for his half-brother Sybok who’s the antagonist of the movie.”

After successfully docking with his long-lost step brother, the Enterprise ventures off after Q, anonymously masquerading as 78 Christmas trees each one representing the different layers of love that Spock feels towards the 23 decks.

How is that more wholesome than “person speaking in a group”?

The interpretation in the rest of this thread is that this man is being a sexist, condescending douchebag to his peers. I hope “overly enthusiastic about your favorite subjects” is better than that.

Lizardking27 ,

Fair enough. But it doesn’t look like either of those, it’s looks like a tutor or study group and they’re literally just having a conversation. I guess I’m not surprised some people on lemmy don’t know what a conversation among friends looks like.

stangel ,

I dunno, the one in the top right looks like she’s seriously reconsidering her life choices…

Yeah i said “a tutor or study group”

RinseDrizzle , to games in What's your favorite controller?

Back in the day, I think it was Logitech or similar who redesigned a PlayStation controller with some minor ergonomic tweaks. It was a masterpiece. This was back in maybe PS2/PS3 era.

Sounds see if any modern versions exist. I’m still a Sony controller purist, having never really fallen in love with Xbox like so many others.

Grangle1 ,

I think I still have one of those. It was Logitech. I thought it was good unless I wanted to use the thumbsticks or triggers. I always thought the Sony design of putting the thumbsticks down in the lower-middle was really awkward, and for some reason, using the triggers on the Logitech controller sometimes felt a bit painful.

RinseDrizzle ,

Might’ve just been the glass slipper my hands needed then. Felt like a peak optimization of the sony layout, least in my mitts.

I know several folks who prefer the offset Xbox style, but I always appreciated the more symmetrical design of PlayStation. Thumbs were same height on controller for FPS or fighting genres, which I did a bunch of back then. Didn’t mind offset thumbs for other games like God of War. I think the designer in me also appreciated sony’s cleaner aesthetic as well.

meldrik , to datahoarder in Does anyone use decentralized data storage for backup?

I use Sia as a renter (paying for storage) and I am also a host (selling storage space) on the Sia network.

Currently use it to host videos from peertube.wtf. It’s not perfect yet, but it works.

peregus OP ,

For how long have you being using it? How’s the reliability?

meldrik ,

I have been using it for about 6 months now. no issues.

I currently only use 163.92 GB @ 4.2x of storage though and renting out about 2TB of storage.

It is actually fairly easy to setup. Both hosting and renting.

Please do not ever buy a phone from your carrier.

OZFive OP ,

I understand there are reasons not to buy a phone from a carrier. But when they give you $500 off, it’s a little hard to resist.

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

They’re not making a $500 donation, they’re just trading >$500 worth of value for something in return. What are the terms of this sale?

SatyrSack ,

Do carriers still require a new two-year contract when you get a disocunted device from them?

helenslunch ,
@helenslunch@feddit.nl avatar

That would be my guess. Basically extortion to lock you into their plans so they can just continue being shitty because they know you can’t afford to get out.

You could also just buy a Pixel 9 and save literally a thousand dollars

Lizardking13 ,

They try, but nowadays you can have your new carrier buy you out!

evasive_chimpanzee , to nostupidquestions in Ok so coffee is made from coffee beans. And beans are *also* made from beans. Why is nobody making, like, black bean coffee?

Coffee beans aren’t beans. There are some beans that are roasted as a substitute for coffee, like the seeds of the Kentucky coffeetree. In times of shortage, people have tried many things to replace coffee, like dandelion and chicory root. For the most part, the substitutes arent as good as the original, so people don’t stick with them. There’s a chance someone has tried to roast and brew pinto beans or whatever, but they probably taste bad.

DOOM Eternal or maybe the original Crysis

dankm ,

I’ve been meaning to try the original Crysis now that I have a computer that can play it. I started it, but then life happened.

DOOM Eternal didn’t do it for me. It’s Doom-ish, but not enough. It’d be a better game if it wasn’t set in the Doom universe trying to add a bunch of non-Doom elements to the game. Doom (2016) did that too, but not to the same extent. I like the older Dooms mostly for their simplicity: get gun, see bad guy, shoot gun. Pick up health. Repeat. Doom Eternal did that, but added a story, weapon mods, and skills. Fine mechanics, but not Doom enough for me.

Dark_Arc ,
@Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg avatar

DOOM Eternal was like a … crazy adrenaline pumping high for me that I normally don’t get out of single player games, so that’s why it’s arguably my favorite.

I never really played the original DOOM games (they’re almost too simple for me … I didn’t grow up with them but I did get into PC shooters with Xonotic – a fast paced Quake derivative, so DOOM Eternal kinda makes sense for me).
