Quad9 is a great thing to learn about right about now.

Meltrax ,

They will though. He’s going to settle out of court. Some amount of money that is meaningless to him. There will be no punishment on a scale he will even notice. And he will continue to do the same shit.

My god, I hadn’t even noticed that autocorrected to “Tab”. Fixed it, thanks for the call out.

Apple is bringing RCS to the iPhone in iOS 18 | The new standard will replace SMS as the default communication protocol between Android and iOS devices (www.theverge.com)

The long-awaited day is here: Apple has announced that its Messages app will support RCS in iOS 18. The move comes after years of taunting, cajoling, and finally, some regulatory scrutiny from the EU....

Meltrax ,

Like 90% of Americans who have android phones use SMS. WhatsApp is more common in places outside the US. Not inside.

@games Games to replace Total War: Warhammer 3 with?

There have been rumors/controversies about the next Warhammer 3 DLC, while I don't personally believe them, it's true that we're reaching the lifecycle end of this franchise, I'm thinking of a contingency plan, I've played this series since 2017, and to replace with something else is going to take a while.

Still, here are some of my ideas, and I would like to hear others from the community

Cover of the turn-based game Disciples 2
Cover of the game turn-based Solium Infernium
Cover of the 4X Age of Wonders 4

Meltrax ,

Solium Infernum as a standalone game is quite fun. I haven’t played TWW3 though, so I couldn’t tell you how similar it is.

Meltrax ,

They are too big and the corporate contracts are too ingrained in society. They won’t lose anything meaningful over these terrible anti-consumer decisions because they don’t care about individual consumers. As long as the bigger ticket contracts are in place, their income is totally safe.

Meltrax ,

Really liked the trailer, added to my wish list. Looks very amusing, I love that type of writing humor.

Meltrax ,

Canoes also have crossbars every 4 feet or so to keep them reasonably structurally sound. So those are very in your way.

Meltrax ,

Wonder if Merlin plans to bypass this somehow.

Meltrax ,

Maroon 5.

They have adapted to the times in ways no one could have expected.

Meltrax ,

I like some of their songs. Despise others. They have changed sound so much over the years that I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the answer everyone gave.

Meltrax ,

I’m fairly certain a history of being tried in court because you’re a trigger happy murderer also likely disqualifies you from joining the armed forces. That’s too much of a ticking pipe bomb even for them.

Meltrax ,

Oh shit you’re right, I didn’t check dates. That’s actually crazy, he actually is just clinically imbecilic then.

Meltrax ,

I have their duffel pack 2, I’ve had it since 2018 or 2019? Great for a gym-going office worker who packs lunch, doubles as a good personal item for flights. Love that bag.

Meltrax ,

If you happen to care, what you were doing with the program Rufus was creating a “bootable media”. Think back in the day when you had to buy a Windows CD and insert that to install or update Windows. This is kind of the evolution of that. An operating system installer can be loaded into a thumb drive (some utilities even let you put many on one drive, and then you can choose between them) and then you tell your computer to read from the USB drive first (which you did via the BIOS boot menu configuration) and instead of booting up your installed Windows, it gives you the option of installing whatever is on your USB drive.

This is fortunately often a pretty painless process, creating the USB boot loaders isn’t hard, and virtually every single Linux distro out there can be installed in this way.

Glad you’re enjoying Mint, and excellent choice for a new Linux user. If you like it, you’ll never need to change to anything else.

Welcome!

Meltrax OP ,

My understanding of rsync was that it was pretty painfully slow.

Meltrax OP ,

I’ve used it in the past, but they are deprecating one-way ignore-delete syncing.

Meltrax OP ,

That must have been it, appreciate the clarification.

Meltrax OP ,

An explanation from one of the maintainers explaining why they removed the toggle from the UI and try to hide it from users because it’s going to be deprecated eventually:

Jesus. I can’t find an affordable apartment in Boston but “Blue grounds” is listing fucking 372 of them on Airbnb…

EDIT: so Blueground is the biggest property holder in almost every city? Or one of the top 5 in the places it isn’t #1. What the hell?

Meltrax ,

I give it a few months before the Community tier servers’ data is dumped and sold to an AI model company.

Meltrax ,

I’ve been using fedora since 2016 and love it. Switched to the KDE spin 2-3 years ago and love that even more. It’s the right balance of fully-fledged OS while still letting me tinker. I don’t have time for Arch-level setup BS, and distros like Mint and Manjaro and Ubuntu felt too clunky and restrictive to me.

Meltrax ,

Boost on Android. Used it for reddit, use it for Lemmy now that it swapped over.

Meltrax ,

“I’m the motherfucker now”

Meltrax ,

If she’s young, help her build good habits. The important stuff has to happen first, before the fun stuff. That’s not just for video games, that’s everything.

If she also likes sports or playing an instrument or reading, help encourage a healthy balance. I personally game 3ish hours a lot of evenings. I also exercise 2ish hours each day because I like to. I don’t feel like I’m giving up potential time for one by spending time on the other because I enjoy both and I balance them.

Meltrax ,

SSX Tricky will forever hold a special place in my heart.

Meltrax ,

I believe someone debunked the claim of lossless audio. But otherwise I think that’s all accurate.

Meltrax , (edited )

What the fuck is wrong with you people?

EDIT: to save you a wasted search and some targeted ads, Project 2025 is some weird thing about Trump’s political agenda. This post is a shitty political ad, farming search results and clicks.

Meltrax ,

I mean yeah it’s fucking horrifying. But this weird ass poster pretending to be a game, and posting it in this community, is disingenuous. Maybe that’s the point. Still crappy.

Meltrax ,

It costs $23/mo for fucking YouTube? And to get the same experience you get with a free browser add-on? Fuck all of that. Absolutely not.

Meltrax ,

The Internet is actually free. Services on it aren’t always. The issue with YouTube monetizing, for me, is 1) they are doing it retroactively and 2) they’re monetizing content made by others.

Meltrax ,

The videos by TJ DeVries seem like probably the best starting point there is. He’s a contributor, has built a setup script that’s meant to be minimalistic and configurable, and has tons and tons of info about running through all of it yourself.

Meltrax ,

Senior dev and I like dark mode because I also like my retinas.

Meltrax ,

I don’t work in the dark. I work during the day, when my employment hours are. When it’s dark I’m not working anymore.

Meltrax ,

How is this a meme? This is just a shitty political pitch.

Meltrax ,

I’d just be so excited if there were actually memes here instead of shitty political takes from both sides of one country’s elections.

Meltrax ,

I guess maybe too mainline for everyone here but I use an Asus router flashed with the Merlin OS (a painless easy process) and it works excellently. No issues setting up all the things you mentioned.

Meltrax ,

What’s the issue with lemmy.world? Serious question

What are Some Good, Recent, and Available Dumb Cars?

I have a 2010 Toyota Corolla. She’s been my trusty steed for the last 14 years and is in good working order. I recognize she won’t last forever, and if, god forbid (mostly for her) I get in an accident, I will need to get a new car. So what dumb cars do you drive, and what would you replace them with?

Meltrax ,

Subaru Crosstrek remains about as analog as a car can be these days. Otherwise, you have to get a Chevrolet pickup truck or something.

Meltrax ,

Depends which one you buy. I have a manual transmission Crosstrek, so no starlink and no eyesight.

Meltrax ,

illenium just put out a “album video” basically and if it were a full length feature film with the story of whatever that location was, I’d watch it.

    I can’t speak for everyone. And I know clickbait is effective, I guess. But I can’t tell from your video title, from your video thumbnail, or from this useless post what your video is even about. And that makes me immediately have no interest in watching your video.
