  The OG X-Com is probably up there as a game that I keep coming back to. Especially after I learned about some of the total conversion mods for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was your favorite shareware game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Raptor: Call of the Shadows

  Pretty sure any black hole we create would evaporate from hawking radiation before it could be used for anything outside of research.

  If anyone does believe them, they shouldn’t

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Projected DOGE savings now near $110 billion, or over $700 per American taxpayer.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Turns out, they are wildly over reporting what they are “saving”, due to gross incompetence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From my perspective, the people who are participating in this community aren’t even lemm.ee members, but they are by their nature putting an undue moderation load onto the lemm.ee instance. If they absolutely want to have their own echo chamber, then they can create it on their home instance instead of taking advantage of the looser rules here.

  Again, from my perspective, even if they aren’t technically violating any rules now, it’s just a matter of time before they start to push the boundaries. I expect this will happen sooner if a large number of users block the community, thus drastically reducing the number of people who are likely to report malicious activity who are also reading the content.

  I would rather have them take their content back to thelemmy.club, lemmy.today, lemmy.lol, or lemmy.libertarianfellowship.org than continue to have it hosted here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It seems some higher level moderation of communities may be required⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with this idea is that lemm.ee does not have strong moderation and content rules, and that is the exact sort of environment that extremism worms its way into and takes advantage of. I don’t expect the admin team to have the time to police the community with a fine enough comb to catch all of the bad content, and I don’t trust the moderators of any self-titled conservative community to do that job properly.

  These communities are ultimately more trouble than they’re worth, and as such I would prefer to see them shunted away from the major servers. Let them build their own hexbear, lemmygrad, or ml. But I don’t think that their regressivism and bigotry have any place here.

  I went with a Box Note Air 3C, and it’s great. I hear the new model is basically the same but faster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m quite glad that I never bought fully into Kindle/Nook/Kobo and instead went with an eInk Android tablet.

  HDMI ARC is technically better now

  Some of these should be considered fundamental basics or rights, and not “luxuries”.

  The particular knife in the picture is used for opening a wheel of parm, and not for serving.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a low friction way to set up a home server with NAS and docker containers. The “Unraid” portion is the configuration that lets you set up an “array” with parity drive(s), but without striping so each disk has a complete filesystem and files accessible even when removed from the array. Everything can be managed through a web UI, and there’s a robust “app store” of docker containers.

  The downside is that it’s not free, and they recently moved towards monthly/yearly licensing and increased the cost of new lifetime licenses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What I learned from 3 years of running Windows 11 on “unsupported” PCs⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I ended up taking my unsupported computer and turned it into an Unraid server. Bought some refurb enterprise drives on eBay to get it set up, and now I have an awesome home media server/NAS.
