I have tinnitus with two different frequencies constantly blaring in my ears from target shooting and loud concerts sans ear protection.

You’ll be able to tell the difference in a quality pair of headphones, trust me.

I hope this changes your life.

Trust me, those Sennheisers will benefit from an amp. I thought the same thing about my HD 650s before I heard them with an amp in the audio chain.

Seriously, it feels like 1999 internet. And I’m loving it!

56K modem handshake sound intensifies

It is an absolutely fantastic (and bizarre) game with an addictive game loop. It reminds me of Stardew Valley in that you can just play it and chill, it’s one of those kinds of games; you won’t be super challenged while playing it, but that’s OK, it’s not that type of game. It has a basic storyline, good humor, and the mechanics of the game also expand quite a bit as compared to the beginning of it. I’ve told multiple people “Don’t look up reviews or videos, just buy this blind/sight-unseen and play it.” and there hasn’t been a single person that hasn’t enjoyed the shit out of it. I’d buy it again for twice the asking price. It’s just fun.

So yeah, 10000% recommend.

Unlawful harvesting of jellyfish? Dave the Diver.

They really don’t, though. Inclusion/exclusion operators work most of the time, but it’ll still return results with explicitly-excluded keywords. It also fucks up results by returning entries with similar words to your query, even when you double-quote a part of the search term. Advanced queries that use booleans and logical AND/OR don’t work at all anymore, that functionality has been completely removed. It returns what it thinks you want, not what you actually want, even when explicitly crafting a query to be as specific as possible.

I use Kagi for search now and it’s 1000x better, especially when researching technical issues; it’s like when Google actually respected your search terms and query as a whole.

The fact they can legally charge a subscription for a fitted feature that does not pose any continuous cost for the company is insane

It’s called “Rent-Seeking Behavior” and it has infected essentially every single fucking millimeter of the market.

You’ll own nothing and you’ll fucking like it.

If I go to sleep at that point, I’m out. Done. I’m sleeping through the alarms or turning them off in my sleep, and that’s a guarantee. No waking me up unless someone is physically dragging my ass out of bed, and that’s still just a maybe.

If Linux was dominant it wouldn’t be Linux. There would be more pressure to monetize and there would always be someone willing to sell out for that money. You can see this even in the Linux community today. I’m sorry I had to be so negative about it though, it sounds nice.

This is a very Desktop/workstation-centric view of the situation and you’re completely neglecting 3/4ths of the story. Linux is already hilariously dominant on the on-prem server and Cloud side of things. Like, it’s not even close. Pretty much any website you visit, the odds are overwhelming that it’s running Linux. Even Microsoft runs most of the underlying infrastructure for Azure and Github on Linux. Android is the #1 mobile phone platform in the world, which runs on, you guessed it, Linux.

And it’s already monetized to the gills. Red Hat has multi-billion earnings per quarter, every quarter, and Canonical is almost certainly going to IPO this year.

It’s already dominant in pretty much every space it touches and it has been for a very long time. Desktop/workstation is pretty much the singular exception to that.

When you see “Account created: 1997”.

“These are the sacred scrolls of the ancient ones.”

I have boots older than some people that are posting on Lemmy today…

Now that societal failsafe is gone. Now people just aren’t challenged for holding the wrong opinion.

I agree with everything you said except for this. Opinions are never wrong since they’re subjective, they’re just fucking stupid.

Would need to lean on AI for something like that, I think. Keep the normal human-acted main cast/supporting characters, delegate everything else to AI.

It’s already been done with a Skyrim mod.

The only Chromium-based browser worth a damn is Vivaldi.

It’s privacy-focused and made by the same people who originally made Opera before it got sold off and turned into malware.

Because Firefox honestly used to be shit, especially in the early Phoenix/Firebird days, but now it isn’t anymore, and they just haven’t bothered to check it out again. The “killing all the existing extensions” thing really didn’t help matters either.

Lmfao. Bro edge is chromium my guy. You just switched from one skin to another is all. It’s all the same under the hood🤣

They are definitely not all the same, and Vivaldi is a fantastic example of that. Just because it’s Chromium-based doesn’t mean it’s chock full of bullshit and a Chrome reskin, it just means that it most likely is. Vivaldi definitely isn’t.

Changing request headers is a trivial thing.

You can get the camera to follow you with K&M. Just left-click and hold it for ~2 seconds and the camera will go behind the active character and lock-on/follow.

If you feel this way, you should definitely look in to getting into D&D. This game is the closest you’re going to get to playing a D&D campaign in a video game as far as translation to the medium goes.

If you like this game, you will absolutely love D&D.
