We had Summer Santa. He looked like santa, but wore a Hawaiian button up shirt(open, with nothing underneath it) and short shorts. He always bought a ton of mountain dew from walmart.

I’ve been tinkering with it lately and really like it as a shiny alternative. Might switch to my primary if I can get some real tinker time. Having a young family makes it hard to have hobbies!

I’m torn on this. On one hand, I would love to see more content coming into the fediverse from larger content creators. Sure there are plenty of great folks here but I want more adoption. Threads could be the way for a lot of people into the fediverse and if everyone defederates from them it really won’t make a splash. I have seen big tech EEE too many times to really trust them though. ESPECIALLY meta. What I prefer to see is things like flipboard migrating to the fediverse. We need to see more of this!

Threads affects more than Lemmy. The whole fediverse is interconnected so it will affect all platforms.

I just got a 2024 Kia Niro Wave EV! Hopefully that means this thing doesn’t give us problems!

We bought an EV recently and the dealership told us the Market Adjustment was the easiest thing to negotiate away.

Love the launcher, but not willing to sub for icons like that.

Possibly it was low hanging fruit. Easy to implement, and it gives people a feature pretty much everything else has.

Infuse endeavour and have recommended it in the past and it seems pretty easy as well as stable.

I have the feeling this is another Bethesda puddle game. So big, but so shallow.

@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

This game is on my to buy list, but probably in a few years when they have ironed out all the issues and dropped the DLC in a GOTY or whatever edition they make later.

Yea I’m a linux gamer so waiting to see if it works for me is basically mandatory. Good way to stop pre-ordering lol.

Lots of great changes. I don’t play much Dota anymore but I’m glad it still gets big updates like this

What do you think of our lord and saviour Odysee.com?

Yeah, I have been hearing about Youtube blocking ad blocks for a while now and I thought maybe Firefox + uBlock Origin is holding ads at bay for a while, but yeah, it happened today. uBlock origin has been unable to block some ads for me and I am thinking of leaving Youtube. I searched day and night (wink wink) for an...

I heard about odysee a while ago but it felt dirty using it because of the huge amount of crypto and conspiracy content on it.

My wife and I play northgard together and it’s nice they keep supporting it. We haven’t really found much else she enjoys like northgard so we keep buying the content to keep them going!

I just recently set up jellyfin as a way for my family to access the stored media outside of my house. Our current Networking setup doesn’t play nicely with VPNs so this was an easy way to do that.

This weirdly assumes that you can farm most of the land in Canada. But you can’t.

It depends on your partners and what you want your experience to be. Want to do stupid shit and be silly? Then coop is for you. Want to take the story seriously and get fully immersed? Maybe solo is better for you

As much as I agree with the communities disdain for Overwatch 2. Blizzard knocked it out of the park with steam integration. No launcher, just sign into your account and it links them and you have your friends lists available. I hope that blizzard keeps this up and releases more games through steam this way.

_spiffy ,
@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

But the difference is that blizzard moved from bnet to steam and companies like Ubisoft/ea tend to make steam a launcher launcher. DRG devs (rock and stone!) Build up from nothing with steam so it’s easier to convince them to do it. They didn’t start with a launcher so making one doesn’t make sense.

I use a virtualbox vm for work. Linux desktop runs a windows VM with Windows 10 and all my work stuff on it. I love it, its been very reliable. Its mostly simple though, it doesn’t need to be super speedy, just needs to house my orgs mandatory vpn and av so I can connect to my work stuff.

Anytime someone asks me with help picking out a laptop I say that Lenovo will be great and so far I haven’t been wrong.

Silo series by Hugh Howey is excellent

I was watching the tv series on Apple TV and got hooked. The pace was a little slow though and some parts of the plot seemed over worked and drawn out. Nevertheless, the premise for the show was so intriguing to me that when the first season ended on a cliff hanger, I opted to jump into the books instead....

_spiffy ,
@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

I just recently finished it and really enjoyed it. The second book was slow but it laid the groundwork for the 3rd being great.

_spiffy ,
@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

I read this about a year ago and I loved it. I had watched The Martian before but had never read the book. It encouraged me to read the book. I loved it as well.

I would love to switch to matrix. But discord has a lotnof features matrix doesn’t even the half baked Linux client supports. But the bigger problem would be convincing my friends to move over.

But I want to stream my screen, or participate in watch parties. Do these features work with bridges?

Do you use the swipe to type feature on your phone?

Is this how most people type on mobile these days, drawing lines all over a keyboard instead of tapping the individual keys? I've never had an iPhone so I don't even know if they can do this natively, but I know you can switch keyboards at least, so it should still be an option if not.

@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

I do but it causes so many words typos so for most stuff is fine but every once in a while it really makes a sentence

Let’s go further! Computers should not come with an operating system installed.

Maybe we could do blog post days?

I like the idea of seeing a decent amount of content, but fear that it could lead to too many blog posts if left unchecked.

Horse armor angst be damned. Diablo 4 was decently fun. But the grind is slooooow.

_spiffy OP ,
@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

I never had a problem when I was younger, but as I get older (I’m not even that old) it gets harder. Not REALLY hard or anything, but having to pause to remember how old I am sometimes makes me feel a bit slow.

_spiffy OP ,
@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

This is half the problem for me!

_spiffy OP ,
@_spiffy@lemmy.ca avatar

But I’m only 33! So part of the challenge is also remembering what day it is today lol

_spiffy OP ,

Dang thats the money.

I have a daughter who is 6 and a son who is 4. So when people ask what year they are born I need to try and do reverse math.
