  Wow! I’ll stick to pure vanilla until I beat the game at least.

  Of course lol. What kind of mods do you like?

  What were you doing in the game with all those hours? 100%'ing it with every race?

  I’m playing on survival mode. I don’t want any tips for now, thank you! How do you have so many hours? My most played game (Factorio) is only 800 hours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How many hours do you have in it? I’m just getting started and I’m barely out of the tutorial, looking for food to survive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's 2025 now, what are the games you'll be starting the year with?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying something new to me: Skyrim.

  If enabled, this could secretly start purchasing random things with your credit card, pretty much just stealing your money. We can’t trust a voice assistant with this, why trust AI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨There you go little guy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sorry driving isn’t fun, it was never meant to be once we obliterated mass transit in the US. It’s meant to get you to the destination, preferably safely.

  You’ve never been in a fun car on a fun twisty back road. This is what driving should be, as we should not be dependent on driving to get everywhere.

  I bounce between lawful neutral and chaotic neutral. Huh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy votes ARE public, should they be anonymous?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes by default, but there should be an option to make them public

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy devs are considering making all votes public - have your say⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Make it optional and opt-in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This shitpost is preventing shutdown⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ubuntu sometimes does this to me, because of either some Snap thing or some CUPS thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I spent way too much time with Bob’s+Angel’s with SpaceX, 160h in and I just unlocked the final tier of modules and now I need to scale up the whole base to get enough science to make the millions of science I need to research everything.

  I haven’t even started Space Exploration (which is very different than SpaceX = Space Extension), but I won’t have enough time to play that before the Factorio DLC comes out…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good game soundtracks?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Pokémon music. Especially the route themes and battle themes. If I had to list the bangers it would take hours

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish they could provide more storage for paid users, or allow users to a la carte add storage. $4/mo to merely match Gmail’s 15GB feels a bit steep, and it must be feasible for them to offer their mail service with 100GB+ for $5/mo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VPN by Google One shuts down⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that YT should open up APIs to make a better frontend for third party apps, like what Reddit had, at least to premium users.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Economics⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Calc84 on the Google Play store, free with minimal ads and a one-time fee to remove ads.

  But it seems like others have found FOSS versions here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Edge nags users with a 3D banner to change Windows 11's default browser⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So you’re saying I can get away with anything as long as I somehow legally declare myself a corporation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reminder that because the Windows 11 taskbar is slower and buggier than the Windows 10 taskbar, it uses much more power due to the extra CPU cycles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Romance author gets locked out of Google Docs for “inappropriate” content⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Couldn’t she just copy the text to a text file or .odt file and perhaps email it (or better yet, physically copy it with a USB drive) if she can’t direct share it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It also really depends on what “home” is. My current home is a tiny room in a cheap apartment (to save money) with a tiny kitchen, a small living room, and a joke of a dining area. I feel inclined to go to the office despite a 45 minute commute because there isn’t anywhere good to spread out and focus on work at home. Plus in-person connections with colleagues is another benefit. I’m currently hybrid with WFH 1 day out of 5.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using Ubuntu may give off a hipster vibes to the average PC user, but within the Linux community its has the opposite effect.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard disagree. I dual boot both Windows 11 and Ubuntu on my main laptop and Ubuntu is usually way faster feeling, except sometimes on shutdown due to some snap or cups bug. Almost everything opens in a second or less, and I get better battery life on Ubuntu as well. My bigger problem is that it struggles with WiFi under crowded conditions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Streaming is cable now | Seventeen years after Netflix and Hulu kicked off a streaming revolution, it’s looking more like cable than ever.⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Three things:

  1. Governments need to regulate exclusive third party content so that the platforms compete on quality instead of just amount of content.
  2. Companies should go back to pay as you use. I hate subscribing to things.
  3. Users should push back hard on new bad things that the corporations do.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to opt out of the privacy nightmare that comes with new Hondas⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Simple, just buy a new Honda… Motorcycle /s

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After announcing increased prices, Spotify to Pay Songwriters About $150 Million Less Next Year⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just gonna keep exploiting the 3 month free trial with all my accounts. I still have my own local library as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Weren’t all the answers already trained on ChatGPT last year?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Glad I dropped prime 1.5 years ago. I’ll never pay monthly for something with ads. If I pay monthly for software, it better treat me like royalty.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After Raids, NYPD Denied Student Protesters Water and Food in Jail⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t necessarily believe ACAB, but I do believe there is systemic corruption among the police at large, such that a majority (but not all) of the apples in the barrel are bad.
