Richard , to gaming in In which game did you spend the most hours?

According to Steam it’s Left4Dead. That said, Steam only began tracking use in 2009. Not only do I expect my Left4Dead hours to be much higher as I played that mainly at launch in 2008, but I also think that game would be a distant second to Counterstrike Source which I played heavily around release while I was in university.

busturn , to selfhosted in Is moving to IPv6 worth it?

You’re asking if you should use it, while my ISP was working on it in 2017 and then it all got canned when they got bought out :( .

Late to the thread I know, but I’ve been watching Legion this week and I’ve no idea why I slept on this so long. It really is spectacular and I’m loving it.

la508 ,

You’ve just reminded me that I never finished it. Will definitely stick it on my watchlist. I’ve been rewatching Silicon Valley, which is also great.

USSBurritoTruck OP , to startrek in New Comics Discussion July 12 | Star Trek #10 | Star Trek: The Motion Picture - Echoes #3
@USSBurritoTruck@startrek.website avatar

After catching up on Echoes, I can say with some confidence that this isn’t the book for me. Marc Guggenheim has never been a writer I’ve been a fan of, and Oleg Chudakov’s art isn’t really a selling feature either. All the characters looked as though they were drawn based off a description alone, and the fact that everyone is wearing TMP uniforms makes them difficult to distinguish from one another. I feel like I should be able to tell if a character is supposed to be Bones or Kirk just by looking at them.

Anyways, with regards to issue three specifically, the story seems fine. Alternate universe Chekov – who doesn’t have the accent that Guggenheim painfully writes into prime Chekov’s dialog, and is named Luthor Akris despite the fact that alternate Uhura is still Nyota Uhura – is negotiating with the Romulans, and is clearly outsmarting them, for access to their technology in exchange for his Bajoran orb doomsday weapon. Alternate Uhura goes off mission to try and kill Akris, and prime Chekov gets shot in the process, but Sulu, and alternate Uhura are able get him on Akris’ ship to escape back to the Enterprise outside Romulan territory, leaving Kirk and prime Uhura behind.

The solicitation copy claimed that Spock and Bones were going to devise a plan to save everyone, but all they actually do is Spock gives Bones shit for wanting to retire, claiming every life lost because he wasn’t there to save them is his fault. Once Sulu and alternate Uhura get Chekov back to the ship, Bones is able to sew Chekov back up, but he losses a bunch of blood, and wouldn’t you know it, he has a rare condition where he can only get a blood transfusion from an exact genetic match, and the reason they don’t have any of his blood already on board is because this is just a shakedown cruise where they never expected to see any action.

I am pot committed to finishing this story now, but it is definitely not as fun as the other Trek comics currently being released.

toshmonaut , to technology in what AI tool do you mostly use Bard or ChatGPT
@toshmonaut@beehaw.org avatar

I haven’t tried Bard, but I’ve currently been using ChatGPT for writing cover letters for job applications.

naptera , to linux in What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?

I have installed Ubuntu in I think at the beginning of 2020 at the end of my first semester as dual boot, because I wanted to learn it a bit while studying engineering informatics. Later I have installed it as my only distro on my Laptop to have more reasons to learn it since I use my PC mostly for gaming. After some time I was so confident with it that I wanted to try something new and installed Garuda on my PC and learned about proton. Then I learned about how many games I can actually play with it and used it as my daily driver for about half a year. Then I was distro hopping frequently, trying pure Arch, Gentoo and Void, wiped Windows completely at the beginning of 2022 because I didn’t use it anyways if I remember correctly and sticked with Void since about mid 2022 until today for my Laptop, PC and Server.

notannpc , to nostupidquestions in Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?

iPhones can natively do swipe to text and I love the feature. It also seems to have improved accuracy as a result of the iOS 17 keyboard updates. I always find myself mixing swipe to text and regular typing together. I hardly even think about it really.

hogart , to gaming in In which game did you spend the most hours?

World of Warcraft. Estimate around 15 000 hours.

League of Legends. A tough one to estimate. Maybe around 3 000.

Then its Diablo 2 or Warcraft 3. No idea which one is left outside of my top 3 tbh.

Aliocantinea , to asklemmy in What book are you in the middle of reading right now?
@Aliocantinea@sh.itjust.works avatar

Oathbringer by Brandon Sanderson! Great series so far

immortaly007 ,

Brandon Sanderson is always a good recommendation

I’m reading Hero of Ages right now, Mistborn being my first Sanderson series. I’ve already purchased all of Stormlight and can’t wait to start!

singularity ,

I’m in the middle of The Lost Metal right now. Mistborn is my first Sanderson series as well and it’s great!

abbadon420 ,

Brandon Sanderson is definitely one of the greats of this era of fantasy writers.

0xtero , (edited ) to gaming in In which game did you spend the most hours?
@0xtero@kbin.social avatar

My top 5 would be:

World of Warcraft (easily over 10k hours, been playing since release)
EVE Online
Crusader Kings
Stellaris
Blood Bowl

RinseDrizzle , to asklemmy in Be honest, do you still use reddit?

Not really since RIF is RIP. I do miss some extra content from niche communities, but I’m hoping Lemmy will grow enough to fill those gaps. Reddit was also a big news source, but I’ll be hitting other news outlets until Lemmy gets there too.

Here’s hoping Lemmy will be able to scratch my various music and art itches enough. No interest in going back to reddit these days though. The site I knew and loved over the last decade+ is no more. It’s sucked seeing it devolve over the years. Feels a lot like when everyone’s mom got facebook.

Thurkeau , to showerthoughts in The problem with AI alignment is that humans aren't aligned

Clearly you have not seen my character sheet. People tend to be anything from Lawful Good to Chaotic Evil, so that might be something good to check.

ajjlyman , to asklemmy in Can lemmy be used as a blog (with comment section)?

You could… but it’s singly not setup for that. There are blog softwares out there that support activitypub-- I have no experience with it, but microblog.pub was nativity designed as an activitypub blog. There’s also a WordPress plugin that’s basically official (maintained by the company that owns WordPress.com) and has known good integration to at least mastodon, so I would assume it works well with lemmy, peertube, etc, since AFAICT, mastodon is the most opinionated of them when it comes to activitypub conformance.

microblog.pub

Ooof, the design of this website is pretty terrible. I couldn’t figure out where a post starts and where it ends or what is even part of a blog post or other stuff on the website?

And in general it really looks polluted and invites people to pollute. Not really something I was looking for. But thank you for mentioning it :)
