Denmark checking in. No tips, delivery is mostly fair priced, I’m actually waiting for food at the moment, delivery was free.

So absolutely justified … I’m more concerned about the choices I make on food.

How did Lemmy World become the default instance?

World was already the biggest by far when I first started lurking back in July, and it’s just getting more dominant. Before, there was quite some diversity in the distribution of generic communities, but nowadays the vast majority of posts that reach the top are from over there....

This is really what’s is beginning to bother me. I came from Reddit with the fuck-spez-wave searching for an alternative, and Lemmy somehow sounded interesting and a new way of doing things.

I can live with the lag of content, that will come, but more and more it looks like every server is their own little community with whatever weirdnesses they have, and each one has a bunch of moderators, most good, some bad, but all doing what they think is best.

When you’re just a mainstream user looking for content and debate, and take no interest in server drama, defederations and whatever, it’s all just unwanted noise and irritating.

This is only counting confirmed dead games. There are still loads of game companies and shot loads of stupid peoples money to be drained.

“So the board asked you to come back?

SA: Yeah.”

That pretty much sums up the longest and most uninteresting interview I’ve read in a while.

Absolutely agree. I was about to play the devils advocate and try to find ways, that this could happen by accident. If it was on PC it could’ve been the Ubisoft launcher (or whatever it’s called) which accidentally took window focus.

But this is on Xbox and PlayStation. That can only mean that it’s in the game files. That does neither happen by accident nor by technical error.

The only error could be, that it was enabled before they meant to. But no, this was 100% fishing for reactions.

Well, depending on the direction equator is infinitely small, so it could basically be done by one person, on land… boom!

I used to work in IT forensics - there’s nothing that will ever be worse than the things I saw there. People are freaking scary.

But outside work I’ve seen my part of shit, puke and other strange fetish videos, and people being blown up or driven down - being on the internet in the early days sort of made you numb to those things.

I will say that I saw a paper cut fetish video once. That shit hurt through the monitor.

Thanks. I didn’t know that about Miyazaki, but I guess it kinda shows in his works. At least his love for the traditional. As a huge fan of Ghibli I’m pretty disappointed in myself for not recognizing him.

Not that I think it’s a good idea, but to be fair, you’re only noticing the bad and extreme cases. There are subtle and fine cases too that just don’t draws attention to them.

I may be part of the ‘cult’ - I watch it once or twice a year when it’s shown in the local cinema.

But I won’t defend the movie - it’s really bad in every possible way, and the background story of how it was made is at some points also sketchy.

But sitting with friends and others who knows the movie, and have a fun time yelling quotes is just that, fun. Nothing more, nothing less.

From time to time I bring people who don’t know the movie, and I make sure to inform them, that they should expect the worst movie ever, but perhaps the most fun they’ve had going to a movie.

I really want to switch to Linux, but I’ve been told this before and then ended up spending hours trying to get everything to work, and usually give up … but it’s been a couple of years since I tried the last time, so is this the right time?

I have zero interest in the technical parts of Linux or setting things up. I want things to work out if the box. I may have to dual boot because of WoW and MS Flight Sim, but if everything else works it may be worth it.

Edit: wow thanks for the answers. You may have convinced me to try again.

mifan,
@mifan@feddit.dk avatar

Apart from wow and flight sim, I play rocket league, satisfactory, old school monkey island (and other point and click games) and FIFA from time to time and I make small game projects in unreal engine.

@mifan@feddit.dk avatar

Thanks for the answer - I’ve usually just gone with Ubuntu. Would that still be the recommended distro for gaming?

mifan,
@mifan@feddit.dk avatar

You’re right - but I’d say things on newer windows versions are pretty much out of the box. It may ask for driver installs, but that’s often just pressing a confirmation box.

It’s not that I’m afraid of the technical stuff - I am a windows sys admin and software developer. I just have bad memories of hours of getting drivers to work on Linux. I’m sure, that if I make the change and are happy, eventually I’ll take a deeper dive. But it takes a good first time impression to get there.

mifan,
@mifan@feddit.dk avatar

Thanks for the feedback - I’ve installed Pop OS tonight and installed bnet, wow, unreal engine, rocket league and steam.

Battle.net had a few problems because of the host file, and Vulkan apparently needed some fiddling - but at apart from that, I must say everything runs smoothly.

I look forward to test a lot of things deeper - but for now it very much seems like an experience I could get used to.

I don’t recommend this.

Surprised I haven’t seen I Takes Two here yet - it’s a tour de force of genres.

If you never played this game and want a close to perfect coop experience, you should definitely give this a try. It’s perfect for a session with your SO, and it doesn’t rely on neither massive skill nor gaming experience.

I loved every bit of the journey that me and my wife was on with It Takes Two.

For some reason the dollar symbol annoys me so much - I’m fine with underscore and asterisk, but I’ve never found a good flow with the dollar sign.

Most programming languages uses = to copy a value into whatever whatever you put on the left side. You did it with TooClose, which you set to true.

But when you compare values as you do with the if statement, you need another operator, otherwise CanReadThis will be set to true and the if statement will always run (or syntax error), making it unnecessary.

Compare operators are typically == and/or === and some languages uses their own like ‘eq’ or other exciting ways.

Languages and compilers works in different ways, but your program could look like this. (When comparing a Boolean you don’t need the operator, you can just write the variable since it’s either true or false)

If (CanReadThis) { TooClose = true; }

So once a year there is a bonus pool at around $10.000 which everyone can apply for if you think you have the arguments to convince the bosses.

So one of my coworkers applied but instead of just emailing the boss, she emailed everyone. This was an email mentioning how much better she was than most of the department, and then throwing a few coworkers under the bus, to make her look better.

It’s been a few years. She’s still there. She actually got the bonus. 🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s basically explained in these three sections:

“In particular, the justices will be examining a so-called safety valve provision that is meant to spare low-level, nonviolent drug dealers who agree to plead guilty and cooperate with prosecutors from having to face often longer mandatory sentences.”

“The provision lists three criteria for allowing judges to forgo a mandatory minimum sentence that basically look to the severity of prior crimes. Congress did not make it easy by writing the section in the negative so that a judge can exercise discretion in sentencing if a defendant “does not have” three sorts of criminal history.”

“The question is how to determine eligibility for the safety valve — whether any of the conditions is enough to disqualify someone or whether it takes all three to be ineligible.”

Tucker & Dale vs. Evil is a hilarious comedy horror movie. Such a fun take on the genre and so stupidly funny all the way through.

I’m at a wedding - I’ve been happy crying throughout the night. But I’m an emotional guy - I can cry to xfactor videos or those homecoming compilations. I’m an easy target, but I love to cry. It clears out the system.

Agree with everything, and I applied my own little rule too witch states that if I comment or reply to something, then I have to upvote whatever I’m replying to, no matter what I think of it.
