This would be a good time to remember that horse armor that caused a shit storm for fishing like 5$ or something. Good times.

This sounds like it only boots Linux ISOs? I kinda need the ability to boot all kinds of images, only some of them Linux based.

Just in case anyone thinks nextcloud is the solution, it isn’t. Can’t do two way sync at all on Android.

Germany looks like a dead straight line, yet the text says it could see a large drop by 2030. Sure, it could also see a large rise in arable land, no reason or context is given.

Many that were filmed in front of a live audience still had a laugh track. Either to correct them not laughing or not laughing enough at the clearly excellently written jokes, or laughing at things they weren’t supposed to was removed or dampened.

I would recommend “Sophia script”. It is a highly customizable debloat script for Windows 10 & 11.

The only studio that I have to completely avoid because of this, who actually make games I’d normally play, is frontier developments. Think things like planet coaster, Jurassic world evolution or stranded: alien dawn. They also never remove it. I think I read a quote that whoever is in charge believes people will “get over it” and eventually buy it anyway. I can’t speak for others, but I sure won’t.

It’s a shame, but there are other games in the genre(s) that are just as good, arguably better. And I already own more games than I can play, as the backlog seems to just grow.

If a game has Denuvo, I will just not buy it. Ever. I won’t even consider it until it’s removed. Thankfully it doesn’t happen too often that games that interest me have it, but it does happen.

Since this can’t be quantified, because there is no real way to get numbers on people that do this or similar things (except for “wild guessing”), three big ones (being public or backed by traditional investors) can’t make an argument for not having it. So here we are.

Ad others have said, nextcloud won’t rescan or reindex on a reboot. no idea why sync thing does, and surely there must be some way to disable that, too. I’m still hesitant to recommend NC as it’s somewhat fragile, needs way more babying than I’m willing to keep up with and just does too many things, none of them anywhere close to “well”. File sync on real computers works solidly if you have a reliable connection (don’t get me started on Android).

Have you considered using a real media-hoster, like Jellyfin (or like a dozen others)? Jellyfin works fine for music (the are other music-only solutions though). There are plenty of clients that can stream, and have offline support (download a subset/albums/playlists) for things like laptops, phones, … The server can usually transcode audio formats that a client can’t play, in real-time, if needed.

Edit: I realize I wasn’t clear as to what this means in practice. You essentially get a self-hosted Spotify. Your library, run from your server, optionally you can connect to it from anywhere.

Hey I got the same precision scale. Neat.

“a few hundred more” for a device that only costs a few hundred to begin with seems a rather hefty premium to pay, and calling that “lucky”.

I actually have it installed on my desktops. It doesn’t work on mobile and it doesn’t work on thumbnail previews in lemmy either. Also the number of videos that actually have an alternative thumbnail is like 10%, at best.

I’ve also “gotten over it” by just not watching videos like this.

That thumbnail alone means “no, thanks”.

Kinda wanted to pick the game up at some point. Weird, I seem to have suddenly lost all interest. Huh.

It might be, but you’ve managed to focus on the single thing in my comment that was just a side note, and tongue-in-cheek as well. You literally ignored my whole point.

Let’s be explicit: The point is you can’t make the company go into a direction the leadership doesn’t want. “Protests” might have a short term effect, at best. that huge protest on Reddit when they changed API terms and more? Barely anyone actually left the platform. Not regular users, but mods did, making the platform technically worse, but the users clearly don’t notice. Or don’t care enough to leave.

You can’t make a company that size do anything, not as an individual, not as a group. Maybe as a share holder, obviously. I hope you got some millions to spare.

You said “we all should care”. What for? What does that do? “Caring” is the activists version of “thoughts and prayers”. It’s saying something, or thinking about something, but has no effect in the real world.

While I fully agree with the SSD side, you seem to ignore that HDDs are also getting cheaper per TB (always have, and usually quite noticeably). Also the reliability of large to huge SSDs remains to be seen as well. Obviously a breakthrough in HDD technology would have an influence as well, as you mentioned.

I’m not saying SSDs aren’t here to take over, they surely will eventually (preferably sooner), but I think it’ll be a few more years until we got actual price parity per TB. Even when ignoring other aspects like reliability.

Usually the information has to be public is the registering entity is a company, and can be private (and I think it’s by default) if it’s by an individual. It shouldn’t be possible to have private company registrations. This of course depends on the TLD, but might have implications on some jurisdictions independent of that (like when using a site of any TLD inside the EU).

Hard disagree. There are also people using Facebook, then complain how they got ads for product x after talking about x casually with a friend. Just stop. They get no sympathy just like the companies didn’t get a pass for making services worse and worse.

There are never going to be viable alternatives if people keep using the worsening services

Is it feasible that there interceptor systems saw they weren’t a threat from the trajectory and prioritized those that were? I mean the article states that they might have prioritized defending the city over the airbase, but I don’t know how much manual decision making is likely to be involved as I don’t know the flight/travel times. Or Maybe the defense system is has target areas pre-prioritized?

I mean a hole in a runway is somewhat inconvenient, but overall an easy fix. A destroyed hangar less so (but also depends on what’s in it, if anything). Casualties in a city are a different category, obviously.

I’ve used windows since the 90s. Not once have I intentionally used WordPad.

It did open by default for some file types for a long time (.doc), usually mangling the content cause it couldn’t actually handle them properly. I think it was also the default for .txt files at some point, causing many curse words when editing plain text files, that invisibly weren’t so plain any more after… Programs expecting a configuration fine really don’t like that sort of thing.

So: I’m very ok with this. Just install LibreOffice or something if you needa Word-like experience. Install notepad++ for anything “plain”.
