Bazzite is specifically for PC gaming and is a very friendly starter distro.
- Comment on Today's Massive AWS Outage That Took Down Your Favorite Sites Is Still Going On 1 week ago:
The laundry room monitor in my building went down lol… (The monitor being the thing that lets you check a website to see if any of the machines are free or when they’re done, etc.)

Set up Zipline to share bigger files with my friends.
- Comment on How should Lemmy sort posts so small communities can compete? 1 week ago:
I do Top Day for my subscribed communities, and then when I get through that, I switch to All and Active and I’ve found quite a few interesting posts and communities that way.
- Comment on Tesla reintroduces 'Mad Max' Full Self-Driving mode that breaks speed limits 1 week ago:
I agree with you but may I offer you a comma in these trying times?
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 1 week ago:
Oh, I agree. My comment really hinges on the idea that it actually works. Which I doubt immensely haha.
- Comment on Microsoft wants you to talk to your PC and let AI control it 1 week ago:
I try to never underestimate what people are willing to do, like, and put up with for whatever reasons.
Considering how un-tech savvy newer generations are, I would not be shocked if the idea of being able to tell a computer what to do and “it just does it” appeals. This is, of course, assuming it works as intended (lol.)
I also see this as a further dumbing down of that ability to understand tech. Hypothetically, if this were to launch, go mainstream, and the vast majority of future computer users use it, can you imagine a world in which a future teenager looks confused and goes, “What’s an app?”
- Comment on Project Rebearth (in development), an MMO city-builder, with a top-down map style view, where players repopulate a 1:1 replica of Earth, releases a demo on Steam. 1 week ago:
If the dev does indeed allow for custom servers, I imagine if the ‘main’ server fills up, someone could join a fresh/empty server and start anew?
- Comment on LINCOLN! LIIINCOOOLNNN!!!!! 1 week ago:
I listened to a Dark History podcast episode on Booth and I’m not sure people would be as shocked as you’d think haha.
- Comment on On January 1st of 2026, Texas will be required to give ID to download apps from the app stores. It doesn't matter if it's NSFW or not. 1 week ago:
Feels like these things are lining up “coincidentally” huh?

- Comment on Looking for a good kindle reader alternative 2 weeks ago:
I believe the numbers I saw were about 3-5k, so it might not handle your collection well. However, I encourage you to check their github to confirm rather than just go off my vague recollection alone.
- Comment on Looking for a good kindle reader alternative 2 weeks ago:
The devs are also pretty responsive to bug reports!
I will say that they themselves have mentioned that there is kind of a limit in library size because the project is meant to serve “small to modest personal libraries” but I think it was ranked as a few thousand, so that won’t be a problem for most people I think.

- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
Void War. It’s as if someone made their own version of FTL and put a coat of Warhammer 40k paint on it. Super fun.

- Comment on Permanent Debuff 2 weeks ago:
Not permanently but I still appreciate the counter-buffs when they get cast. :)
- Comment on Permanent Debuff 2 weeks ago:
Is it strange I do sometimes think about things like that? Not all the time thankfully, but it is one of those ‘what if?’ scenarios that pop up now and then.
- Comment on Permanent Debuff 2 weeks ago:
I appreciate the optimism; it definitely feels permanent because I’m in the thick of a rough patch right now, but your comment did remind me that all things change eventually. (It’s a little boost of positivity if nothing else)
- Comment on Permanent Debuff 2 weeks ago:
Another one I didn’t know existed!
- Comment on Permanent Debuff 2 weeks ago:
Oh! I didn’t even know that community existed!

At this point someone needs to make the obvious church schism official and slap a new name on them. Would be mildly interesting to see how these people reacted to being branded official heretics and told to take their ball and go home.
- Comment on A lot of media depict the United States as being invaded by fascists from the outside. Nobody thought fascism will come from within until now. 2 weeks ago:
Given the amount of people still proudly sporting Trump merch in the rural area I live, I do think he’d still win. I literally don’t understand these people, the sheer lack of… anything. Awareness. Empathy. Self-preservation!?
The only person I vaguely know well enough to take a crack at why she’s like this, is because she herself is a raging narcissist who wants to be special and feel special. So she aligns her views with the person who tells her “You’re special!” and gives her that desperate validation. Morals become secondary to feeling good rather than being the source of it. It’s incredibly sad.
