Help Getting News
Hello! I’m looking for help in finding ways to stay up to date with News “of the World” in the modern age. Having de-Googled (and, therefore, abandoned Google News), I find it hard to track what is going on outside of links posted to Lemmy/Mastodon (my only social media), and have no subscriptions to any streaming channels...

Do you think lemmy will sustain scalability?
Not just speaking technically but economically. As user number mount up their post is just going to add up. I know instaces may distribute user, but server space isn’t going to go down for anyone. It just seems like built to fall.

Has anyone been playing Ark Survival Ascended on Linux? (solved my problems, I think)
I picked it up and have been playing it. The first day, it seemed to run fine, but today I’ve been having a ton of trouble with it. I’m struggling to go 15 minutes without crashing, and when it does crash, Steam stops responding entirely until I reboot....

Would you prefer if games had a separate difficulty setting for boss fights?
I usually play games on “normal” difficulty these days, for a balanced challenge. However, I don’t particularly enjoy boss fights, or at least I don’t enjoy the extra challenge associated with them. Was thinking it would be nice if games had a separate setting so I could just set boss fights to “easy”, while not...

Lamb straight from a farm
On Friday we got our annual treat: half a lamb from a farm near us. We made rosemary, chilli and garlic butter, roast potatoes, cavolo nero, cauliflower and carrots with lamb chops. The chops are as fresh and tasty as can be, simply great!
Could, in theory, we merge black holes to prolong the life of the universe?
Seeing as the heat death of the universe occurs once black holes have stopped emitting Hawking radiation, and BH’s life spans are tied to their mass, could a (very, very advanced) civilisation bring two or more together? Assuming nobody’s succumbed to proton decay before then, of course....

Could we use AI to update 4:3 media to 16:9?
I’ve been re-watching star trek voyager recently, and I’ve heard when filming, they didn’t clear the wide angle of filming equipment, so it’s not as simple as just going back to the original film. With the advancement of AI, is it only a matter of time until older programs like this are released with more updated...
