Lemmy learns exponential math.

Mostly joking, thanks for doing the math.

Moneo ,

Stop reading a book and go for a walk.

Moneo ,

No all anime is for weebz and all cartoons are for kids.

Now shut up and let me watch my fake reality tv show.

Moneo ,

I can’t really remember Hilda but I remember liking it. I think these recommendations are a similar vibe. I also did not like Gravity Falls but should probably give it another try since I didn’t give it a fair shot.

Dara, Steven Universe, Bee and Puppycat would be my recommendations.** I’ve ranted about them below trying to describe them but honestly you should probably just ignore my rant and watch some episodes since they are all short.**

It’s been a while since I’ve watched Dara so I can remember deets but it’s a cute and chill show.

Steven Universe is possibly my favourite show, 12 min episodes so really easy to consume. It’s dorky (especially at first) and takes a while to get going. But when it does it has a lot going for it. Action, adventure, humour, all with an upbeat and warm tone. It tackles some pretty deep topics but can be a little on the nose sometimes. The character arcs are satisfying and the whole plot feels very intentional and comes to a close satisfyingly. Who am I kidding it’s definitely my favourite show. If you’ve seen ATLA I think they are quite similar in plot and episode structure, but SU has more adult themes, better humour & character arcs, and a better plot overall. (IMO, don’t yell at me ATLA fans).

Bee and Puppycat has two runs, a YouTube one then a sort of remake on Netflix, it’s confusing and idk which one to recommend, I like the both though. So far it seems quite similar to SU except much less structured. It’s very cutesy and fun but I feel like there’s some ADHD vibes in terms of writing and the main character (I don’t mean this in an entirely bad way, I have ADHD). It just feels a bit scatterbrained at times. That being said I really like it and I’m hoping the creator gets more seasons approved.

Moneo ,

Spoiler alert: cars have always sucked.

Inefficient drain of public and private money. Demand better public transportation.

Moneo ,

How that’s not false advertising is beyond me.

Moneo ,

The worst part about mam is that I feel useless because I consume way more than I contribute.

Moneo ,

No problem Kaselina.

Moneo ,

Anyone else getting the “you will be blocked after 3 videos” yet? Haven’t seen anyone talk about it but I saw it for the first time yesterday.

Moneo ,

Also sasso creedo games fucking suck.

Moneo ,

Funny, cause nothing breaks immersion faster for me than product placement.

Moneo ,

This makes a lot of sense. I have smelly feet and a sweaty back, one of my cats loves to rub all over my shoes & backpack.

Moneo ,

Don’t use metal on your pans maybe?

Moneo ,

This used to happen to me all the time but I think it randomly stopped.

Moneo ,

But muh narrative

Moneo ,

Honestly I’ll defend TF2 loot boxes til I die. There are valid complaints as far as casual gamers go but as someone who played the game for thousands of hours the cosmetic system added a lot of longevity to the game. It was a fun ecosystem to engage with and compared to modern games where you spend $15-20 on a single cosmetic item it was an absolute bargain. If you got tired of an item you could trade it for something else too.

Idk maybe I just got indoctrinated but I have so many positive memories of that game and interacting with the cosmetic system. These days every game you play is shoving their store front in your face. Every cosmetic is $20 and if you don’t buy it now it’s lost forever. Don’t want to spend money? Ok here’s an “event” where you need to play the game 2 hours a day for a week to unlock some meh items and if you don’t then fuck you those items are gone forever.

Sorry I’m ranting.

Moneo ,

extremely expensive.

Not compared to owning/maintaining a car.

Moneo ,

Yup. I invested in rain pants and a jacket, all I need now are shoe coverings. Get to work, strip it all off in 30 secs and put it in a waterproof bag. It’s just a matter of adjusting expectations and habits.

To me it’s way less complicated than driving. I don’t have to worry about gas, traffic, parking, maintenance, break downs, and the stress of driving in the rain trying not to kill anyone. I understand why people are hesitant, but I think a lot of people just need to suck it up and give it a shot.

Also, public transportation is just straight up better than both driving/cycling when done right.

Moneo ,

Bingo bongo. There are also tons of greenhouse gases + other pollution associated with cars that are not the gas they burn to drive. Road infrastructure is a big one.

Moneo ,

Bahahaahaha fuck you ❤️

Moneo ,

Damn you are me from the past, except I don’t have a degree. The pay is much worse up here. I’ve considered trying to get work down south to make some $ but the US is kind of a shit show right now and I don’t want to live in a car dependent city.

Moneo ,

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that the company that is dominating the privacy-messaging space, considered and discarded this idea for reasons they consider valid.

Moneo ,

…they’re a non-profit

Moneo ,

Bless the EU

Moneo ,

/r/futurama and this sublemmy/whatever have made me hate the fan base. Same memes over and over.

GTA 6’s Publisher Says Video Games Should Theoretically Be Priced At Dollars Per Hour (www.forbes.com)

While Take-Two is riding high on their announcement that a GTA 6 trailer is coming, its CEO has some…interesting ideas on how much video games could cost, part of a contingent of executives that believe games are underpriced, given their cost, length or some combination of the two.

Moneo ,

“We were going to charge $60 but then we added 40 hours of tailing side quests so now we’re charging $120” - Ubisoft.

Hours of gameplay is a god awful metric and only a corporate dipshit could utter such a stupid fucking sentence.

Why isn't everyone talking about AI generated audiobooks?

I just listened to this AI generated audiobook and if it didn’t say it was AI, I’d have thought it was human-made. It has different voices, dramatization, sound effects… The last I’d heard about this tech was a post saying Stephen Fry’s voice was stolen and replicated by AI. But since then, nothing, even though it’s...

Moneo ,

That got me thinking about when we’ll hear the first case of AI generated security camera footage used to frame someone. Which leads me to wonder when it will be standard procedure for cameras to digitally sign their footage.

Moneo ,

There it is. Thanks for sharing.

Moneo ,

Yeah one fleshlight is more than enough for me.

Moneo ,

universally hailed as a great game, but I still call that underrated

???

I *sort of *understand what you mean. Factorio is a complete labour of love. I can’t think of a developer who respects their playerbase more than Wube. The fantastic optimization, the way they’ve handled mods and bugs, the FF blog and overall communication, just everything about them is awesome. So maybe I’d agree Wube is underrated? Factorio sold extremely well and has great reviews, so calling it underrated is just strange.

Moneo ,

The main disadvantage is it will be very hard to debug and fix when something breaks

This has been my experience self-hosting the normal way though lol. Yeah I’ve learned a bit but it’s not really an area of expertise I’m super keen on expanding. Getting my self-hosted server up was a bloody nightmare. Sharing drives, hardware pass-through with proxmox, containers, samba, mounting drives. There’s an endless list of services and configurations that I fucked around with until I got it working, never 100% sure which changes were actually necessary. If an issue comes up I have to relearn the 90% I’ve forgotten and try and remember wtf I did to get it working in the first place.

All of this is the experience of someone who is more computer literate than 90%+ of the population.

Even learning docker-compose is a task in itself because you need to become accustomed to linux text editors and the linux file structure (which btw is still a complete fucking black box to me).

The need for an app like Cosmos is obvious. There are a million ways to fuck up your home server trying to do it yourself and most of the time you’re just following tutorials made by other people. Why not just have an app that follows those tutorials for you and guarantees it’s done correct and securely?

Moneo ,

There must be a term for middle-ground people like me. I’ve used computers my whole life, as a kid I portfowarded to host WC3 servers, as a teenager I self-hosted minecraft servers both on my pc and rented linux servers. I’m a software developer and I’ve dabbled in dozens of technologies and have a decent understanding of so many computer/IT related things that most people don’t even know exists.

I’m trying to say I think I’m a tech wizard but putting me in the “less tech savvy” bucket with my mom feels weird. Self hosting was a nightmare to get setup. There’s just too much shit to learn and when all you want is a Sonarr/radarr/jellyfin setup you’re just figure out the important details and get the damn thing working before you forget it all.

I like having all the customization available to me but I only want to learn details that are relevant to what I’m trying to do. It’s like game developers using Unity instead of writing their own physics engine. Yeah sure I could study real hard and painstakingly implement my own engine but it’s going to take fucking forever and there will be ever-present hidden issues plaguing me as I make the part of the game I actually care about.

Moneo ,

FYI I haven’t used cosmos. This post was the first I’ve heard of it, but I’ll likely try to migrate to it at some point.

Moneo ,

I fucking hate these posts so much, they are obnoxious and misguided. Whether or not a CEO wakes up at 5am every day, or works as hard is completely irrelevant to solving the wealth inequality issues we face. We are allowing an absolute minuscule fraction of the population to gather wealth and allowing them to use their wealth to assert control over politics and the economy. Focus on that, not fantasies about how much smarter and harder working you are than CEOs.

Moneo ,

I still think we need another phrase. It’s the same logic that people (myself included) used to defend using gay as a slur.

Moneo ,

Yeah I’m not trying to say they are facing similar challenges just that the rationalization for using the term seems the same.

Moneo ,

Steam may suck at extra goodies like streaming but they sure as hell don’t suck at selling games. Constant sales, cloud saves, pre-downloads, a solid friend system for co-op games. They nail all the important shit and that’s really all that matters to most people.

Moneo ,

Would you though

Moneo ,

Ahhhh the ol’ Canadian loop hole.

Moneo ,

Never heard of this game and the studio appears to be new. Anyone want to give me the rundown?

Moneo ,

Good for you. I buy/torrent music sometimes too. Streaming is popular because it’s convenient and the convenience is more valuable to many people than the benefits of “owning DRM free music”.

Your comment is entirely pointless and pretty fucking pretentious.

Moneo ,

On a thread discussing the various streaming options all of this information is entirely irrelevant. Managing a digital library is not appealing to 99% of people.

You may as well tell people to cook their own food in a thread discussing the various food delivery options.

Moneo ,

The point is Spotify may remove your favourite album and then you can access it. It’s a stupid point though because if their hard drive breaks or they otherwise lose access to the file they have to return to whoever they bought the music from and hope they can still download it.

It’s like how people point out that when you buy games from steam you don’t actually own the game. Well, yeah no shit, if steam shuts down I can’t download the game anymore, steam is about convenience not ownership.

There is nothing wrong with talking about the benefits of possessing digital files that cannot be taken away from you, it’s just completely irrelevant to a conversation about streaming services. They are two separate products with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Moneo ,

I can see the onion headline already.

“Non-voters threaten not to vote if Biden doesn’t do what they want”

Amazon's drone delivery program is the joke it always sounded like. (news.yahoo.com)

Only one item can be delivered at a time. It can’t weigh more than 5 pounds. It can’t be too big. It can’t be something breakable, since the drone drops it from 12 feet. The drones can’t fly when it is too hot or too windy or too rainy....

Moneo ,

In this case I would consider that a good thing. The day drone delivery because common will be a very noisy day.

Moneo ,

I’ll bite.

Drones are loud as fuck and if drone delivery became common there would be a massive backlash from the public. Most people live in cities and do not have a yard to put a target on lol. Drone delivery in cities is almost certainly less cost efficient than truck delivery. Land drones are much more likely in cities, or just dudes with cargo bikes like in many European cities.

So yeah drone delivery might “become a thing” but I doubt it will be mainstream.

Moneo ,

The drone planes in Africa delivering medical supplies are amazing.

Moneo ,

Possibly for accessibility reasons? No point in shafting blind people just for a gag.
