I think you are alone. Most people were disappointed. There were too many thing that were set to automatic. It was kind of hard to even play the game. More like just watching.

Ummm, when you win a golf tournament you’ve never played in… You know you’re cheating.

LOL. Yeah, we’re animals man.

Absolute agreement there.

Could be. Really thought it was pizza. Gonna be hard to unlearn this.
- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 3 weeks ago:
Hmmm, I’ve “known” that for a long time. I know pizza in Italy is not the same as pizza in America and is typically eaten with a fork and knife. Maybe that’s what I was thinking or maybe I’m confusing it with a different supposedly Italian food.
- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 3 weeks ago:
You make a good point.
- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 3 weeks ago:
Couldn’t agree more except one little nitpick. Pizza was invented in America.
- Comment on On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android. 3 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure I disabled/removed it when I got this phone. I don’t specifically remember doing it but when I get a new phone, I watch some YouTube videos on how to purge all the crap I don’t want.
I read an article that mentioned using command line stuff to eliminate it and it kind looked familiar. I think I did this. I really should write stuff down.

Why the hell would anyone apply for a visa to come here?

Are you sure? Sounds like how it used to be, you know, before people were taken off the streets by masked men.

- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 month ago:
LOL. That’s not what I meant. Unfortunately it is what I said.
What I should have said is, if you are going to use a number after a decimal point (or comma in Europe) then why not use the right number. My bad.
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 month ago:
Strange. If you’re going to use a decimal point, why not the right one?
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 month ago:
Electrical engineer. I’m nowhere near as useful as an electrician.

Electrical engineer. Never used 3. Always 3.14. don’t really get the joke.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 month ago:
I never played the others. I play with my friend overseas every Monday. He chooses the games. He may have chosen it because it is cooperative, online and not PvP. IDK.
But we also play, Aliens, Grimm Dawn, all of the borderlands games, like literally ALL of them including Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. Two is my favorite.

Diablo 4. I mean, I know it is easy, but I felt the version of Halo I played was way easy and it has a good reputation.

That’s kind of disgusting.
- Comment on What is Docker? 2 months ago:
As I mentioned, I didn’t really know where to post it. I guess my lemmy-foo isn’t up to snuff. I saw that this appears to be in lemmy.world, but only 10 options came up when I tried to post and none of them really seemed right. Comments?
- Comment on What is Docker? 2 months ago:
Thank you for the thorough response. After looking carefully at what you wrote I didn’t really see a difference between the term self-hosting and home network.
You said you have software that automatically downloads media. The way I see this using movies for instance, if I own the movies and have them on my machine, then I can stream them over my network and have full control. Whereas if I “own” them on Amazon and steam it from there, they can track the viewing experience, push ads, or even remove the content completely. I understand that… But if I want a NEW movie, I’m back to Amazon to get it in the first place (or Netflix, or Walmart, etc. I get it). I’m fact, personally I’ve started actually buying disks of the movies/music I like most so that it can’t really be taken away and I can enjoy it even without an Internet connection. Am I missing something? Unless of course the media you are downloading is pirated.
I know I’m asking what seems to be a huge question but I’m really only asking for a broad description, sort of an ELI5 thing.
- Comment on What is Docker? 3 months ago:
Wow! Thank you all for the civilized responses. This all sounds so great. I am older and I feel like I’ve already seen enough ads for one lifetime and I hate all this fascist tracking crap.
But how does that work? Is it just a network on which you store your stuff in a way that you can download it anywhere or can it do more? I mean, to me that’s just a home network. Hosting sounds like it’s designed for other people to access. Can I put my website on there? If so, how do I go about registering my domain each year. I’m not computer illiterate but this sounds kind of beyond my skill level. I’ll go search Jellyfin, weird name, and see what I can find. Thanks again!

I’ve never posted on Lemmy before. I tried to ask this question of the greater community but I had to pick a community and didn’t know which one. This shows up as lemmy.world but that wasn’t an option.
Anyway, what I wanted to know is why do people self host? What is the advantage/cost. Sorry if I’m hijacking. Maybe someone could just post a link or something.

Because they are sociopaths that have zero empathy for those they deport.
