• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨im frend :(⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨goodbye plex⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  oh! thank you! this is the answer :(

  though… it kinda makes me want to buy a cheepie intel card just to get that sweet, sweet AV1

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨goodbye plex⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  not OP, but this has reared its ugly face once or twice with my friends.

  i have been running into another issue, though it may be a firefox issue: playing some filetypes fail to play on web browser but work fine on jellyfin app (i believe my settings are correct for hardware decode on server where it can)

  i still have to put some time into figuring it out tho (havent really done my research yet)

  lutris definitely takes the cake when it comes to customizability, but i consider it a bit hard on the UX… especially for new users.

  i always recommend Heroic first, and if there are problems then one can use lutris (or bottles in really bad situations) as a backup.

  ~1,900 jobs today, even. :/

  gotta make sure phil spencer gets his bonus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  new vegas, there was a mobile one, and i think there was an only-online one that i missed.

  just never got around to playing those. my backlog is mighty, and FO4 was a freebie i picked up within the last year or two.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i played a bit of fallout 4, but i dont really understand the hype that was around it. its a loading screen simulator with an awful city repair element slapped on top.

  not a huge fan :/

  it sucks… i really enjoyed all of the previous fallouts i played (FO1, FO2, FO:BoS, FO3) and expected something better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA CEO Andrew Wilson got a nice pay bump last year, while the company's workers earned less on average⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i also heard about this cool new thing. its blue…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have never in my 43 years heard of anyone else with the first name Sigourney.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  the famous actress Sigourney Weaver? (Alien franchise)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What the fuck⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  its prenatal, not pre-covid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WomensStuff has moved.... ⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  as someone who just got told to not post there ever again (i was not being mean, i was adding to community discussion), describing this community as “inclusive” is a bit if a misnomer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Using Signal groups for activism⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  use signal to safely organize, but remember to faraday cage your phone before you leave. no proof that you were there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  honestly, my rust comment was mostly a joke; rust is great for it, but its readability is really bad. i’m not a huge fan of writing/reading it, just using it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  [glares in rust]

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  as an engineer, a lot of languages (even proprietary ones) have a built-in constant pi variable because it is so ubiquitous - its easier and more readable to use pi than 3…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  usually a band plays for ~30-45m - enjoying music time - and ~15m-1h (depending on the setup for that night) of downtime for chatting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can new make friends?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  as one with limited mobility, i have made friends at the local, extremely small, music venue. tickets at the door are $20, beer is cheap, and everyone is super friendly.

  because its a small place, the owner lets me take a chair with me when i am going to one of the stages that has no seating (i use a cane; its hard to stand for long periods). i usually sit next to the merch tables, and the friends of the bands usually strike up conversation.

  this is a suuuuuper small place. it has 2-3 stages (depending on the night), but they are really close together, so only one band at a time can play (two stages are outside because the building is so small). even if its not music, go to really small local places that get decent crowds - they are a lot more personable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨miniature figurines filament?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  after starting to print d&d miniatures, i switched from fff to resin printing; i have not looked back. the increase in fidelity between fff and resin is unfathomable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a searchable table view for serverpartdeals by $/TB⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i havent been able to find one. i have specific storage amounts in mind, so i search for my storage amount then sort by cheapest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Once you are over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos…⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  at 40, i do go out less than in my twenties but we still go out. a lot of our younger friends dont know how to party and always go home super early :/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please Don't Preorder This...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  there isnt a limited stock; these are digital goods. there is no point in preordering.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is that the moon? Or just some light that lights this dead end street?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  that is no moon…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a good HTPC OS and software?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i am currently setting one up so i have no input as far as ease of use, good/bad/etc. yet, however i have a

  raspberry pi, flashed

  libreelec to the sd card, and plan to get

  castagnaIT to run some proprietary streaming services alongside

  jellyfin that i host on my home server

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO Go HBO Now HBO Max Max Is Changing Its Name to HBO Max⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  thank you. i figured i couldnt be the only one calling it “HBO” without anything else strapped to it.

  names may change like the tides, but its still HBO.
