Have you considered a VPS?

I have one that is pretty basic but works very well for about $4US a month. Mine runs Ubuntu 22.

chepox ,

Why are the ARR a bad idea for a VPS?

Yeah storage suck on mine but you can get a seed box for storage and run the apps in the VPS. But that’s another subscription.

Are we all fucked?

I’m worried for the world. All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I’m not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till...

Damn. I thought it was me, but scrolling through Everything & Top Day is just filled with rage bait and doom news. I rarely find something uplifting. And I usually find myself more anxious after reading through them.

I really want Lemmy to thrive, that’s why I am here, but I used to be able to filter all that shit in reddit and still have a bunch of funny dumb simple happy posts. If I do that here I get no posts back…

Have you tried acquiring the file from ‘elsewhere’ (see megathread)?

chepox ,

I have been using copilot inside VSCode for about a month. That thing is useful. It really does cut back on programming time. The help you get from this thing, although not 100% accurate, is mostly accurate enough to get you unstuck and keep moving. It is really useful. I have paid 1 monthl at 10$US. It is totally worth it for me and my usage.

I really hope I don’t have to start paying twice as much for the same experience.

Control - the first game to get me to turn on cheats in decades

I finished Control last week, likely the best game to marry a creepy funhouse with a sprawling government office that you’ll ever play. I was up and down on this one for a few months. There’s a fun narrative and plenty of atmosphere, but I wasn’t always enjoying the gameplay....

chepox ,

Control is on my backlog list. Thanks for the writeup. Now I know what to expect.

Using cheats for 1 player offline games is 100% OK in my book. I am an adult with so much responsabilties and little time to game. Sitting for 2 hours frustrated on something and not progressing is just not my idea of fun. Nudging yourself through with the help of cheats, easy mode or anything else is totally valid.

I have done this with a few games. Disgaea games come to mind… I know most of the enjoyment of those games comes from the grind to level up and get stronger to then grind some more… But I just couldn’t make myself fight the same level 25 times to earn enough XP to upgrade so I memory edited the values just enough to simulate me grinding for 2 hours in 5 minutes. Not enough to break the game but enough to get me through the grindy parts.

And any offline 1 player game that tries that shit will get memory edited right away.

Of course I will always try to do it the intended way, as long as it’s not annoying to me.

A tad to tender for my taste but I am no expert in primerib…

Well said. In a more deep sense, this is exactly what is wrong with our society right now. Our inability to see others doing different things and respecting it instead of criticizing it or making fun. If we all just allow others to do their thing (as long as it does not hurt anyone other than themselves) then we would all be a lot happier. Even the critizizing folk.

Demon Souls. Gadamn it’s good…

My dude! Thanks for sharing all of these. I don’t have a particular need and am able to buy myself games so I will leave for others who may not be as lucky as I am. But thanks for doing this!

Happy holidays!!!

That scene actually looks very real.

Here is a video on how they made it

Mate. Trusting a company not to shaft you when you have no alternatives is never a good idea. It is actually really bad.

Companies do not act towards the benefit of the customer. It is always towards a better bottom line, and those decisions many times do not have your best interest at heart. If you have no choices, the companies have no incentive to make your experience any better. (see Internet Explorer). Competition is always a good thing. It forces companies to be better. The key word there is forces because they will not do it on their own.

So why did a jury find that Google held a monopoly but Apple didn’t? (www.theguardian.com)

“Google has taken great pains to appear more open than Apple, licensing the Android operating system to third parties like Samsung and allowing users to install apps via other methods than the Play store. Apple does neither. When it comes to exclusivity, Apple has become synonymous with “walled garden” in the public...

This is a discussion forum. Sometimes an obvious question sparks conversation well beyond the original topic. But someone needs to ask the question first. You don’t have to be rude. Just scroll right past.

Oh man. That looks delicious. To the fridge!!!

That was more than 1 granade. Dude just tossed them casually. What needs to happen to people to act this way???

OMG. I got 8.95% for a 25yr mortgage and it was an awesome deal. Market was about 13.5%. Your numbers are really just free money from where am standing.

You cannot tell me that dude (duddette?) doesn’t have an eating disorder. That looks sickly and horrible.

chepox ,

Absolutely right. I would not judge you if I saw you at the supermarket. But this dude is the face of a fashion and beauty brand. They are pushing this body type (rarely occurs naturally in healthy folks like you) and mostly occurs on people with health problems. In a way they are pushing a non healthy image to many people that are not like you. I would even dare to say you are a very minuscule porcentage of people with this body type that are 100% healthy so this is being pushed to folks that have lovehandles and now they hate themselves.

chepox ,

Yes indeed. My cat also reacts to catnip. It’s adorable.

Lol. Accurate.

I just finished the game. It was a lot of fun. I found it a little slow at times and some QOL stuff might make it even better but it is still a great game.

VR?

chepox ,

What they can do is block certain light that overlaps in some of your rods and cones (colorblind) in your eyes allowing you to distinguish between colors you previously could not.

Not magic. Just pyshics. They do not fix the issue but it gives your brain new information that was previously obscured. Then your brain can use this info to distinguish between the two overlapping wavelengths that you previously could not.

chepox ,

Never thought of it that way but yeah. Gave up his name without actually giving it up. Brilliant. That guy was savy as fuck. Also a genius.

chepox ,

I had to double back to your comment because at first I glances at it and thought yeah… Then I thought about it some more and thought … Yes! That is exactly how they work. Papers plus or minus but that is the way they work. We all agree upon it and bam. You are now named!

I hate that when I click on the Settings for a Notification I do not get any information on the category of the notification. You have to go into 3 settings to get to your notification history and there it shows the category. Bad phone!!!

Almost done with Dave The Diver. I am enjoying it quite a bit.

I think I am going to start Astral Ascent as soon as I am finished with Dave the Diver. Thanks for the mini review.

By how much are we expecting this drug to expand the lifespan of dogs? I read the article and could not find it. Anyone here know?

This made me laugh. Like genuinely laugh. It had been a while since a video made me laugh so much. Thanks for sharing

I see all of these actions by the government to address and reverse the population decline but they seem so insignificant and half assed.

This is a very serious issue for a society and it has the potential to get worse in a geometric decline fashion, making it very time sensitive.

Actions that may help today will be useless on the near future… I think governments are not giving this issue the seriousness it deserves and are acting way too slow. By the time they realize this it may too late. They may be obligated to do some very uncomfortable containment actions.

chepox ,

How do you disable this? Not the article nor the comments mention how to opt out…

chepox ,

My Samsung phone does have that feature in the My Files app that comes pre installed. I don’t use it because File Manager+ is so much better. And I have access to my SFTP, LAN and NAS. I am not associated with the app. Just enjoy it and recommend it because I find it very useful.

chepox ,

In my country we mostly use WhatsApp and it has a specific option in the menus that says ‘in chat notification sound’ which does exactly what you are looking for.

What I would suggest is try another messaging app that is more feature rich such as textra. I bet they do a better job at handling notifications than the default app.

chepox ,

I just built a laptop and I always choose Mint. I used the XFCE spin and it failed me. Everything worked well except the second monitor screen. I just could not get it to display proper 1080p. I tried forums and changed a bunch of configurations.

I ended up getting Fedora on it and it worked out of the box. Oh well. Fedora it is then.

DizqueTV you say… Onto the high seas to look for more info and understand what this is and why I need it…

What do you all do on your phones that isn't doom-scrolling or mindless mini games?

I find myself checking out pretty often and just making myself feel bad about the state of the world, or killing half an hour on stupid games that I could 100% live without. This is probably pretty common, and I’m wondering what other people have found as a way to do more productive things with their phones in the downtime.

FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution). The feature is expected to come to the company’s next-generation flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S24. This technology renders a game’s graphics at a lower resolution to improve frame rates and then uses AI to upscale the resolution. This way, you get higher frame rates at the cost of a slight downgrade in graphics details.

Just if anyone was wondering what FSR meant.

Sample size is relevant as a proportion of the difference you are looking for.

For example:

Sample A: 1.1, 1.3, 1.5, 1.2, 1.1

Sample B: 345.3, 323.4, 322.3, 355.2

Determining a statistical difference between these two groups where a meaningful difference is 20%, does not require more samples. The chance of error on making a claim that A is less than B will be quite low.

Not saying that N=18 in this case is sufficient, just stating that the number alone does not give you enough information to determine whether a claim has weight to it or not.
