I found Shotts to be very helpful back in the day.

Geez. I seed until I upload twice what I downloaded. Am I a stingy bastard?

There were always three topics that would start a fight on Reddit:

1. Nuclear power
2. The care and feeding of a cat
3. Any mention of driving less than 500 mph in the fast lane

I feel like this one goes in the third bucket. Be better than Reddit, Lemmy.

I’ve been using Aurora which is an immutable distro based on Fedora. It’s from the same guys who do Bazzite. I use it on my work laptop with a discrete Nvidia card. I’ve had zero issues with the video driver. (I use Bazzite on two desktop and a laptop at home, all with Nvidia cards).

I really like these universal blue distro because on the odd occasion that I have an issue after an update, I can reboot into a pinned working version of the system. There are only a couple of CLI commands to learn to pin and unpin the different systems. All currently available systems appear on the grub menu. It’s kind of brilliant IMO.

Only downside is that installing RPM packages isn’t recommended, but I’ve found pretty much everything I need through flathub. I have one RPM package installed for VeraCrypt (no flatpak and it doesn’t work right in a container) but it hasn’t caused any issues for me.

Edit: I should say I can’t speak to the ongoing driver issues on the 50 series cards. The newest card I own is an RTX 3080 LHR 12 GB.

These kinds of posts always give me anxiety that someone would take a magic marker to their cat for fake Internet points.

And not with anyone at Hasbro that Larian worked with, because Hasbro fired them all.

Tucked away in a corner? Fine. Skittering, creeping, or otherwise ambulating across my floor? Nyet nein nope evicted.

Huh. First time I saw this post, I figured it was bait. I’m pretty sure I was subbed to a couple communities on hexbear. Occurred to me today when I encountered this post again that I’d not seen any hexbear content for a while. Turns out my instance has it blocked. Not sure if it’s for technical reasons or moderation reasons. Does that go in the mod log or somewhere?

Fantastic development. I got the “last year’s” model of a Lenovo Legion gaming laptop for work a few years ago bc it was one of the few affordable models that I could find at the time with a second m.2 slot. Expandable memory was a nice bonus. Love the keyboard, too. Been really happy with it. I run Kinoite on it.

Kay’s Butter Pecan. I don’t think you can get it anymore.

They eventually walked back what caused the recent controversy but they’ve been losing user goodwill for years. https://techcrunch.com/2025/03/03/mozilla-rewrites-firefoxs-terms-of-use-after-user-backlash/

Dunno. Let’s look at Wikipedia.

I remember TNT used to show the later seasons of Angel, which were originally 16:9, cropped to 4:3 and then stretched back to 16:9. 🤮

Please leave the original aspect ratio alone. Also fuck AI.

Launch availability sucks as usual, too. Thought I had an XFX from NewEgg until I got the “voided due to insufficient stock” email. Thanks for wasting my morning, NewEgg.

Edit: Also, opting me in to an email newsletter on the occasion of me placing an order that was subsequently voided due to lack of stock is a next level dick move.

This is me. Spanking new 9800x3d with an RTX 3080. I’m not unhappy but I’d planned to buy a new video card by now. 😄

Not the most disappointing, but just to name someone that hasn’t been mentioned yet here:

Wife made me watch OUAT over the holiday break. Turns out Ginnifer Goodwin is a Zionist bc of course she is.

Edit: From Wikipedia

In February 2024, Goodwin signed an open letter by Creative Community for Peace rejecting calls for Israel to be banned from Eurovision 2024 amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

Bunch of greedy ass geezers. I’ve been watching the MSI RTX 5090 Liquid Suprim SOC. Announced at 2,499. B&H initially had it at that price, then 2,789, then 2,799, then back to 2,789. US MSI store also went to 2,799. Haven’t seen a price yet on NewEgg.

Edit: Just noticed that I’d said “4090” instead of “5090”. This has been corrected. Apologies for the typo.

After years of releasing its games exclusively on the Epic Store

I thought I bought Valhalla through UPlay or whatever you call it. When did that come out?

Edit: AC Valhalla was released on Nov 10, 2020. Furthermore, Wikipedia says

On PC, the game was an Epic Games Store-exclusive title until December 6, 2022, when it was released on Steam.

but I just checked and the only game I ever bought on Epic was Kena Bridge of Spirits.
