Yeah this is just good news.

What Ticketmaster Doesn't Want You To Know: Concerts Were Cheap For Decades (youtu.be)

Ticketmaster and Live Nation have destroyed the concert experience. But it didn’t use to be this way. Today, Oasis and Taylor Swift tickets might go for thousands of dollars, but back in 1955, you could see Elvis Presley in concert for less than the modern-day equivalent of $20.

Moghul ,

I don’t care about social media, I live in a big city so I rarely travel for a concert, sometimes I get sick sometimes I don’t and ofc it sucks when I do, I agree having to wear earplugs sucks…

The appeal is that I’m a metalhead and I feel like a metal concert is one of the only places where, within some rules, I can go batshit crazy. It’s cathartic. I don’t even have to get in the pit necessarily, it’s enough that I can scream until I have no voice.

I can still get the occasional 30-40 euro concert ticket for a smaller band, but that’s rare.

You one of my exes, or just a good guesser?

This is some of the most streissand shit I’ve ever seen

Moghul ,

The other commenter fucked up instance vs community. Technically the admins moderate every community on their instance. It’s just that the post/comments didn’t violate instance rules I guess.

Moghul ,

Do kids movies have to be stupid and vapid? This looks completely soulless.

Changing the character designs wouldn’t require an all new game. If they can come up with a signature gamemode and better characters, they could have some moderate success.

TBH I had a look at Deadlock’s characters as well and frankly they’re not that inspired and interesting either, but people really like that game because of how it plays. Still that’s in early development so the characters could improve. IMO if the Concord devs make the characters hot, people will pay and play. I’m not saying that’s a good or bad thing, just what I think.

Moghul ,

The company I work for does B2B and clients do the same shit. 45-90 day pay cycle after invoicing. That shit kills smaller businesses.

Moghul ,

Block the op i guess. People will upvote anything they agree with in ‘all’ filter

Moghul ,

Amen lmao. Seems they hit the nail on the head.

So what did it take for you to go to Linux? (kbin.melroy.org)

I'm asking what big motivational factors contributed to you into going Linux full-time. I don't count minor inconveniences like 'oh, stutter lag in a game on windows' because that really could be anything in any system. I'm talking, something Windows or Microsoft has done that was so big, that made you go "fuck this, I will go...

Moghul ,

I’d been using linux for work for a couple years and it was going fine. I had a pretty crappy laptop at home with limited storage and I was constantly wrestling with Windows storing update stuff, installing adware during updates, etc.

I’d heard of proton and about how well it was going with it, so I had an idea linux gaming was possible.

Eventually something happened during a windows update that required I reinstall the OS and I just pulled out the flash drive I used to install linux on my work machine and tried it out. Eventually I did have to dual boot (on a bigger drive) for some games, but nowadays I’m all linux everywhere.

Is there any legal way to purchase GTA 2 for PC?

It got de-listed from Steam, it's not on GoG either.

@gaming

gta dot com dot ua

Somehow I don’t think that’s “their website”

Moghul ,

Fukken saved

Moghul ,

What? Isn’t this a common W for steam? This seems like a good thing to me.

Moghul ,

Jesus Christ, that’s a lot of weirdos.

Moghul ,

Romania is easily explained with the fact that a lot of it is rural and basically everyone living in a village has a cat. There are also stray city cats that people feed that they might consider as theirs.

Turkey and Greece are a bit more surprising to me. I guess people don’t consider stray cats theirs even if they feed them.

Moghul ,

Yup. I know exactly what you mean. I bought Nobody Wants to Die, which is rated platinum on protondb, and it just crashes within 1 second of startup for me. 3h of fucking around with proton versions, launch arguments, even tried lutris, nothing. The only error I could see took me to a stackoverflow thread about vga to dvi adapter issues and the fix was not relevant. My protontricks is apparently also broken which I have no idea why or when it broke.

I got it refunded, it is what it is. I’ll look into fixing my protontricks when I have more time…

Moghul ,

I’ve never rarely ever had that except one or two games in the last 15 years…

Moghul ,

I’ve never had a problem with the lack of a pause button. A lot of other things could be a lot better before that. Elden Ring is my favorite game but it’s ok to criticize the bad UX, terrible m+k controls, one or more bosses cheating at the game (see Malenia’s stagger), bad multiplayer mechanics, etc. I will say though that there is no reason for there not to be a pause button. You can already pause by opening a certain menu tooltip so it’s clearly possible.

Moghul ,

Several people have already raised concerns with the fact that they got banned from several unrelated .ml communities by the same mod for breaking the rules in one community. There are several topics with broad appeal that have their largest community on .ml. Switching instances is basically the same as making another account because you’re still subject to the .ml moderation.

Moghul ,

The people don’t really do that. A move needs to start from the mods, whether it’s because they want to move or because they did something to piss everybody off.

Moghul ,

Don’t, unless you don’t mind losing your job. They did it because they noticed people were watching stuff at work and they don’t want you to do it.

Moghul ,

Fair enough, that could be the case. Some generic blocking setting. In that case others in this thread have given good technical suggestions.

Moghul ,

Yes

Moghul ,

If I’m picturing anything, I usually go for 1 or 2. The difference might be in the amount of time I do it. I can just do it quick, then remember it.

Moghul ,

¯_(ツ)_/¯

indefinitely

Moghul ,

Thank you, I feel blessed

Moghul ,

Have you checked out any other thinkpad? I’m not in Slovenia but my local price comparison website only shows upgrades for this one in stock, and the laptop itself only from a refurbishing place. Maybe this thing is just out of stock.

Moghul ,

I’m not saying you should buy a refurbished one, I’m saying I couldn’t buy a new one locally because it’s not in stock. Have you tried other laptops?

How long until society's collapse?

With worrying global trends like climate change, pollution, increasingly divided or radical governments, economic woes, misinformation and disinformation everywhere, dangerous health crises and so on, what do you think - how much time do we have before “it all comes crashing down”? What will end life or our way of life as we...

Moghul , (edited )

Given enough time, everything changes. Society as it is now will go away eventually, but it’s hard to say that society will ‘collapse’. Things can get better or worse, and in either case there will be people who think it they’ve gotten better, and people who think they’ve gotten worse.

It’s hard to stay optimistic with how perception is shaped nowadays. Let me try to slightly change that perspective. I don’t have a link to the study, but a majority of interviewed Americans thought that crime was on the rise, and worse than ever, when in fact it has been decreasing steadily since the early 90s. Public perception was shaped by the broad popularity of televised police, detective, true crime documentaries, and fictional media. A good thing was happening, but that’s not what people thought.

Climate change and pollution are bad, but renewables are on the rise on average, and being pushed hard by the public in general.

Increasingly divided and radical governments are bad, but people are getting sick of it, and governments will have to adapt or be replaced.

Economic woes are definitely a problem, but we’re slowly making baby steps, doing things like banning airbnb here and there, etc. Economic woes have come and gone.

Misinformation and disinformation is everywhere, but we’re more aware of it than ever. We’re suspicious of intent, of sources, etc. Not all of us trust the right sources, but we’re starting to implement fact checking, we’re making platforms that show news on the political spectrum, we have ways to find blind spots, etc.

Dangerous health crises aren’t the end of the world. The black plague and the ‘spanish’ flu killed a lot of people, and neither lead to the breakdown of society. We’ll figure it out, we’re tough SOBs.

Look, I’m not saying these things aren’t happening, I’m just saying that for every bad thing that floods the airways and the internet, there is some degree of reaction. We’re not laying down and taking it. And while it’s certainly depressing and disheartening to see so many bad things happening, they can help to galvanize people against it, and not fall into complacency.

It’s easy to be overwhelmed too, which is why it’s not a bad idea to take the time to limit and filter exposure to this stuff. You know about it, you’ve looked into it, you’ve made a (hopefully educated) decision, you know what you’re going to do. It’s not healthy for you to come back and keep looking at the problem over and over again.

There’s also the issue of being exposed to serious problems that you can’t affect in a meaningful way. I’m not American, what the hell am I supposed to do about their presidential election? No reason for me to look at it all the time. When the time comes, I’ll vote for someone on my end who says they’re going to handle the situation in the way that I think is best.

Take a step back, consider your situation. Which things affect you? Which things affect the people in your life? Which things can you affect? What can you do, that matters? Focus your energy on that. You don’t have to make a big change, you can start by clearing your head.

Moghul ,

I’m certainly not a virtuous person but I don’t think I’m categorically bad.

Moghul ,

I just beat this guy. Walked in with a colossal hammer and pancaked him. Took two tries because the first time I didn’t realize he didn’t turn into the fat one, but it was a summon instead.

I don’t really have much advice, really. Run sideways towards him when he spams projectiles, dodge into the big projectile, ignore his summons since your big hammer will hit them too anyway.

Moghul ,

S tier? This place is like a C at best. There are some S tier places but there are some G tier places too.

Moghul ,

I guess it depends on what you consider an S tier space. I haven’t been to Jupiter but I hear they have a cyclone on the pole surrounded by 5 other cyclones. Being in orbit of that would be a (for lack of a better word) religious experience.

Moghul ,

I’d readily risk death for the opportunity to be one of the first people to see Jupiter with their own eyes.

Moghul ,

You know full well I mean up close.

Moghul ,

That doesn’t mean anything in a lot of countries.

Moghul ,

It’s not as much of a thing but people do object fines, most commonly mail-in fines when the owner wasn’t driving.

Moghul ,

Didn’t he live with his parents and sister?

Moghul ,

I don’t remember, but that could be the case.

🤔 Isn’t that kind of weird? Do people and teenagers in particular keep fruit bowls in their bedroom?

Moghul ,

Idk man, I think unless you’re eating, food should be in the kitchen.

It definitely shows some bosses we haven’t seen before, and the narration hints at what the story might be, or at least the surface level that represents this character’s narrative. For the most part, it’s a bit like watching the original release trailer.

You don’t need to watch it to know, it is fucking epic. I am hyped beyond all measure. We are so fucking back.

Moghul ,

I really believe that this has nothing to do with kids. “For the kids” has made me suspicious of intentions for a long time. It makes it difficult to argue against it because it implies that you’re a pedo or are doing something illegal otherwise. You implement general monitoring “for the kids”, and then you add some anti piracy stuff to it, then you add some hate group detection, some anti government group detection, etc. Now you have everything you need to get ahead of any danger to the government. If the people can’t organize, you can do whatever you want.

Moghul ,

IMO sitting at my desk, watching logs or waiting for something to come in isn’t living my life. I can’t do my hobbies, I can’t play video games, drink a beer, watch a movie, hang out with my friends, etc. Browsing lemmy or youtube isn’t exactly living my life. As long as I’m at that desk, I’m working.
