SighBapanada , to gaming in I finally got a Switch! What now?

Smash

Chetzemoka ,

With that username and you don't say Hollow Knight right out the gate, I am disappoint 😂

(Seriously though, OP, Hollow Knight is cheap and amazing.)

SighBapanada ,

You’re the first person the get the reference, congrats! 🎉

Chetzemoka ,

I'm mildly obsessed with HK lol. I only got it in Dec 2022 and I just beat The Radiance for the first time a few weeks ago. I can't seem to manage it a second time, so I literally just bought the game on Steam and got an Xbox controller because it's more responsive than my Switch. I'm not sure what happened to my life haha

(Still waiting for someone to get my reference though. Not HK related :)

SighBapanada ,

Congrats on beating the radiance, that’s as far as I got before putting down the controller. Now eagerly awaiting for silksong

You dont have to, but thats the most obvious thing to do if you enjoy that kind of content.

admiralteal , to startrek in Would You Try New Pastimes If Star Trek Level Medical Care Was Available?

What about the opposite of that, though?

Permanent injury and disability is unlikely. Chronic pain is likely a nonissue. Most of the unpredictable diseases can be sciencemagick'd away. Even old age, you'll still be mobile, active, and happy. Long, thriving lives are the minimum expectation.

In a world where medical technology is so good that only "natural" death will get you in the end, and one where there's no resource constraint forcing you to a stressful and awful life with no opportunity to thrive, everyone kind of has a lot more to lose. I might be more willing to do something "risky", but not if that risk contains "risk of immediate death" because there's no fixing that.

Though whether this is the way human psychology works... who knows.

Razputinsgirth ,

They have low key revived people right after death. Just not tasha yar

Yeah, it's the old story of the immortal who refused to cross the street. The kind of risks that someone expecting to die by 80 would take are much different than risk assessment of someone expecting to live--comfortably, with their mind and body intact--to at least 160.

Kichae , to nostupidquestions in Do I understand correctly that I have to subscribe to 5 different NoStupidQuestions on 5 different instances?

Why would you have to do that? I doubt you read every post on the Reddit subreddit, so you don't have to try to read every one here.

SendMePhotos , to fediverse in Origins of the Name "Lemmy"

Weird. I always thought it was from the game. Throughout reading what you typed, I was expecting something unexpected. As it turns out… It was what I expected, unexpectedly.

Now you have to find every single community in every single instance if you hope to talk about your topic?

iluminae , to selfhosted in ELI5: Why are SBCs nowhere to be found?

I have 2 pi4 4GB boards and was waiting forever to get a third to run RAFT based services across.

I gave up last year and bought 3 chinese boards at $60/ea with 2x 2.5Gb Ethernet each, emmc, and a m.2 slot - and they run at half the temp of the pi4 boards.

I never needed the wifi/bt and form-factor the pi boards offered anyway - really no reason to stay as long as you can find software that boots on other boards.

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Link to said boards please?

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Thanks

swm5126 ,

Curious which board you ended up buying

iluminae ,

Nanopi R5C. Cute little buggers too.

RightHandOfIkaros , to nostupidquestions in Would a cat-toy laser pointer distract a pilot in broad daylight?

Never, EVER point a laser at anything in the sky, or in the direction of a person’s face. You can blind people, and if theyre flying a plane or helicopter (or driving, for that matter), you can kill them. And whoever they might crash into if they happen to crash. It is a federal felony in the USA, there may be other similar laws in other locations.

Typically low powered lasers aren’t visible like that, but it doesn’t matter. Just like you always treat a firearm like its loaded and never point it towards people, treat every laser like its high powered and never point them at peoples faces or at helicopters or planes.

eldavi , to nostupidquestions in Do I understand correctly that I have to subscribe to 5 different NoStupidQuestions on 5 different instances?

the whole fediverse requires a more effort on your part than reddit ever did. i hate reddit now and left permanently, but i know that the fediverse will never be able to replace reddit and reddit will continue to flourish.

TheEntity ,

FB and Twitter were flourishing for over a decade with me never being a part of it. I'm okay with Reddit flourishing without me, I'm happy where I am right now.

eldavi ,

i wish i could say the same about being happy here; i find myself missing the subs i use to visit and it’s only after moving away from reddit have i started to realize how ultra niche those subs are.

however i’ve been wanting to spend less time with a screen in my face and the recent reddit assholery coupled w the lack of content from the fediverse is going to force me to make that change in my life and i see it as a good thing.

Soundhole ,

I still go back and forth. I use Red Reader, a third party app that still works. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that, especially if there are niche communities that are really important to you.

Honestly though, every day the content on Reddit gets worse and more repetitive and the general atmosphere gets more sour. We’ll see how things pan out, but imo the vibe on Lemmy is more pleasant atm.

eldavi ,

i think i’m lucky in that all of my niche subs were porn adjacent, so i need them like i need another hole in my head.

still, i find myself visiting reddit too, but without the ability to log in to limit my interaction with them.

TheEntity ,

I miss some niche subreddits but in general I appreciate the digital detox it forced upon me. I can live without these niche communities. It's not like they provided me with much more than fun trivia or memes on topics I already dabble in either way.

eldavi ,

the content from those niche subs is next to impossible to find on my own so i don’t get to dabble anymore; but i saw losing it as a digital detox too.

BURN ,

100% this

I don’t want to have to curate every part of my feed. I find myself missing r/All constantly while browsing the local pages.

There’s too many responsibilities on the user, which for some people is a huge plus, but for the average consumer is a huge drawback stopping them from joining a new platform.

spacedancer , to technology in Need help with running Windows off my flash drive

There are tools out there that can create a bootable usb drive specifically with persistent storage. You can try Sardu (www.sarducd.it/sardu-multiboot-creator). I believe it has an option in the GUI to specifically enable persistent storage.

Im28xwa ,

I thought that choosing a USB flash drive as the installation path/location in the Windows installation process would get the job done no special software required!
