I used to self-host searxng for a while, but somehow the search results were always off and mixed with to much non-relevant results :/.
I mean, getting non-relevant results happens with every search engine anymore.
The days of your search results being relevant, and on the first page, are long dead thanks to SEO and other factors.

Yep.
Several family members had these exact 433mhz emachines with the stickers. They were not power users, they were not gamers… They were people who typed with one finger chicken pecking to check email
- Comment on NEVER OBSOLETE 2 days ago:
They were never obsolete because, as it says on the sticker (that no one on the internet can ever seem to be bothered to read), that you can replace it every 2 years for new, more modern system for only 99 bucks.
and quite frankly, thats a fucking steal, considering what PC prices were like back in the late 90s, and with how fast technology was advancing.

Except that just means they’d optimize for that specific hardware in the steam machine and still run like shit on anything else.
Power wise, they said the steam machine is equivalent to what 70% of the steam users already have and use. If developers arent already optimizing for that, then one more machine out of thousands wont encourage it.

- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 4 days ago:
PC stuff sucked this year thanks to AI datacenters creating shortages that saw stuff like 100 dollar sets of ram skyrocket to 1000 dollars
- Comment on Black Friday, more like buy stupid shit day. 4 days ago:
Black friday used to actually be good. but like everything good, corporate greed ruined it.
It became a week long event, then a month long event, then companies figured out if they slightly hurt sales in late october/november by doubling prices, they could massively increase sales for black friday, and make those sales at near normal retail pricing too thanks to JCPennying.
I still shop black friday when I can. not to buy into marketing hype, or to buy something for its normal price and think I got an amazing deal, but because I hope to find something i actually need in a discount price I can actually afford. . . Which is getting rarer and rarer with each passing year.

Yeah, that seems par for the course with current Paradox games the past few years…
Cities Skylines is 2 years old and still shit, too… Hell paradox is even going so far as to change the dev company working on it at the start of next year. Which is doing wonders for peoples hope for the future of the game /s

What? VTM2 came out?
When?
I legitimately did not know it was released.
Is that part of why its flopping?
Or is the gameplay bugged to fuck/story shit/etc?

i almost never buy games on steam anymore…Even on the steam sales. The sales are a poor immitation of the great values that they were 10+ years ago.
I subscribe to Humble Monthly and, eventually, get almost every game I’ve ever wanted.

you do realize a washing machine can wash more than one towel at a time… right?
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 1 week ago:
and you leave it hanging in the bathroom until next time you use it, ever done research on how much shit… both literal and metaphorical, gets launched into the air every time you flush?
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 1 week ago:
That’s kinda of wasteful isn’t it? Washing a perfectly good towel after a single usage.
i’m doing a load of whites once a week regardless, so no, its not wasteful.
- Comment on This is the type of Q&A that makes the internet so important 1 week ago:
Yes, because I’m not a fucking animal.

Yeah, I agree.
I detest Linus, but at least attack him for legitimate shit.
He was approaching linux as a basic idiot, like someone like me, and that is absolutely something a new average linux user would absolutely do.
iirc, that bug was known before hand, and no one bothered to fix it until famous man made video that got famous.

Eh, I dont want steam machine becoming a standardized PC.
having CPU and GPU baked into the board and unchangable will just increase e-waste cause it will age out much faster than a PC which you could, 3-4 years down the line, max out the CPU in, throw more ram into, or upgrade teh GPU, to keep it relevant for another 4+ years
It serves its niche purpose, but it should not become standard.

As a vegetarian who mostly eats vegan, why is it that I find PETA so annoying?
Because they are terrorists.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
With all of that being said, it seems to me it’s very likely it will be around 800 but less than 1000
maybe more with the way ram prices are skyrocketing… because even though it comes out next year, they are probably being manufactured and stockpiled right now.
