  Yeah it’s great. Bottles is the best tool imo, lutris almost feels like a relic from the early days of Linux gaming, and non-steam games in steam don’t always work exactly how you might want, and aren’t so much fun. There is also heroic games launcher now which lets you add custom games and is also a very nice option if you don’t use gnome (bottles is a gnome style app so it may look out of place elsewhere). I would put some thorough research into VPNs if you torrent though because the one I used on my Linux box (expressvpn) leaked my ip at some point and I got a letter in the mail.

  So perhaps the most painful death would be just before that threshold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android 14 blocks all modification of system certificates, even as root⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is very true, although from what I’ve seen both sides are correct. They give very little guidance to any of the stuff they put out, see killing off stadia or how badly they have been messing up chromeOS and just let their engineers do what they want until they lose their way then it falls off. They just don’t care about that because the ad money keeps coming regardless. It seems almost like a result of the fact that google just hires talent so no one else can have it and then they just let them do whatever they want. It’s almost like there are two googles.

  I read the title, I just don’t. Know what that is. I assumed it was short YouTube videos, and hence the same algorithm information would apply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s a YouTube short?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What specific thing? The entirety of YouTube? Just the algorithm? Either way their algorithm may not be designed to do promote videos you want to watch, in reality it’s most likely designed to promote stuff that will draw them the most ad revenue and not promote really good stuff all the time. If your content is always great people will expect that and there will never be a great video, on the contrary if there is a great video among mediocre ones at best people will engage more in those (especially if they are longer and even if they have more ads), and additionally will engage more in your platform. This means that even if they aren’t making as much per video they are still making more in the long-term. And that’s really all they care about, your experience means nothing to them.

  I can’t believe x is not gonna give it to you. This is just unbelievable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some veteran YouTube staff think Shorts might ruin YouTube⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The algorithm seems like it is optimized for profit, not for actually being a good platform.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York police will use drones to monitor backyard parties this weekend, spurring privacy concerns⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought that’s what the birds where for. These drones must be to throw us off because we were getting to close to the truth. Spread the word “BIRDS ARENT REAL”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Walk on the Moon (clarifications needed)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Going there was purely political. There is nothing there and no good reason to go back once it fell out of public favor. On top of that, they didn’t keep good records as to how to make the rockets, so we don’t have the ability to just remake the rockets we used back then and would instead need to reinvest into making new ones. It’s obscenely expensive with no discernible benefits.

  I used nylon carbon fiber.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I somehow got addicted to making phone cases for friends and family since I successfully printed TPU the first time.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Word of warning, 3d printed cases are a bad idea. The plastics don’t actually absorb the impact like a real case would, and so they break often and don’t actually absorb the impact and protect your phone. Every time I’ve used one I’ve ended up with damage.

  When you say make sure your network is fast enough, how fast do you mean? I have 200mb, is that fast enough? (It’s the fastest option for my house)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self hosted instances⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Can you elaborate on the issue with viewing all? If I just want to scroll and see stuff will I be bc able to see anything across the fediverse that I am federated with or is it really only stuff I am subbed to?

  Your what? Like those things with the dial that are attached to the wall? How are you meant to do it with that?

  Perhaps we could see even greater improvements if we stopped and looked at how this works. Eventually we will need to as there is a limit to how much real text exists.
