  And they wonder why Steam has all the users…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baby boomers want to axe property taxes. Millennials and Gen Z would pay for it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Home hoarders and NIMBYS ruin the world in pursuit of property values. Now you reap what you sow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This tracks.

  I’m so drained from work now. They keep cutting out teams and expecting more output anyway.

  I changed the games I play, I no longer play RPG games that take a huge time investment and defer to Arcadey indie games I can pick up and put quickly.

  Yes I’d love to play Dark Souls to completion, for example, but I don’t have the energy for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK | Parent called police over school’s ban on mobile phones⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Parents like to be able to contact their kids whenever they want (and via versa).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mom told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Just be aware that the music volume and the volume of noise in your environment are supplementary.

  That means that if you raise the volume of your headphones to hear over your environment you risk damage.

  Nouse cancelling headphones help with this.

  I haven’t read any research on whether active nouse cancellation contributes to this, since active NC is producing more noise in the audible range that you can’t perceive.

  I do use active NC on planes and don’t feel pain in my ears, but I am wary of it and only use it on planes for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow you anger much less easily.

  I started boycotting when they started forcing uPlay even in Steam games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh awesome! It’s like Frets on Fire but for DDR

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you ready for a $1,000 Steam Machine? Some analysts think you should be.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Was this an active or passive adapter?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ohh you eat it like a sub? 😅

  I only do that if I’m lazy and use sandwich bread for a roll.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m confused. If I put mustard on a hotdog it looks exactly like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thank me later...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Of Person is 80%, what’s 100%?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨moving from nextcloud to opencloud⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OpenCloud has made a conscious decision not to use relational databases and instead uses files to store metadata. This decision simplifies the system considerably and at the same time helps to improve scalability and system stability.

  Well color me convinced. The most frustrating part about updating Nextcloud is fixing the database schema.

  I don’t even want a database I just want a lightweight webui for manage my files from a browser.

  OpenCloud fits the bill much better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  ente.io has e2ee. Tehg recently opened up their software so self hosting.

  I font have enough exp with both Immich and Ente to make a statement as to whether they have all of the same features or not.

  Cursed site is auto playing a video that isnt even visible when on mobile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of.

  They’re not in your face. But they make sure their sponsors show up on the maps with custom pins

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes Organic Maps and CoMaps (its open community fork) both support Car Play

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wanting to mention CoMaps and that it was forked from Organic Maps.

  The projects aren’t very diverged yet so you can still migrate your pins with an easy export/import

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My AYN Thor⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is the game UI you’re running in the top picture?

  Or is it a different retroarch theme?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm too stupid for this⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So… Like to find the optimal impact angle to send an object towards a target?

  The largest eigenvector would be the most probable direction of the struck object after impact?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does you feel Crash Team Racing was better than Mario Kart?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny you bring it up. When Mario Kart introduced the coins, I immediately thought of the Wumpa Fruits in even the first CTR.

  I read it as Nintendo running out of ideas. But it seems the Switch 2 Mario Kart adding the cross country game mode is somewhat more novel than the coins.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Something sensitive like this really should be a PWA (and web app for iOS users)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I finally caught it on tape! The stutter that will randomly happen once per day and I have no idea what's causing it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sometimes EAC can cause this.

  I don’t know how but it’s possible there is a mismatch between your EAC version installed and the one the game expects causing stuttering when it logs the errors.

  I experienced this with The Finals and the devs resolved with a patch that reconciled the EAC version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Entry-Level NAS recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The Beelink mini nas is very similar in stature. It uses NVMe drives, it cannot saturate the NVMe bus but its plenty fast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried Guárana?

  I find it tastes a bit like a mix of red bull and mountain dew. It’s a soda, but very close to energy drink taste

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the opposite. That when you’re cold, and your body releases Norepinephrine, that it re-enforces your immune system.

  Which makes sense to me from a personal experience. I like to run around in the snow in tshirt and shorts and embrace the cold. I very rarely catch colds and always thought it was genetics and not a product of environment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Per number 3, sounds like it’s welcoming to counter culture

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft starts rolling out Gaming Copilot on Windows 11 PCs⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So right next to my achievements list I have a stupid chatbot that can take longer to less accurately tell me my achievements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a self-hosted project that does base64 url decoding in a privacy respecting fashion?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You may want to use -n to skip the newline and the end.

  You may also want to single quote the text to negate expansion when doing the opposite and encoding the text.

  echo -n ‘my text’ | base64

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Frustratingly bad at self hosting. Can someone help me access LLMs on my rig from my phone⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To eliminate another subscription I imagine.
