I had to give up on Soulslike games. It’s not that I can’t do it, it’s that every boss makes me feel frustrated for 30 mins to an hour and I’m cursing a blue streak, pissed off when I’m supposed to be having fun. Not worth it to me or my blood pressure.

Not sure it’s really relevant to OP, but I’ll vouch for Moonlight. I use it to stream from my beefy desktop to my laptop/Linux tablet that both have weak little integrated GPUs. It’s not perfect, need a strong internet connection, but it’s 100x better than Steam’s integrated version and for remote desktop access too.
A handy tip is that you can fake second monitors without any extra hardware so you don’t have to give up a connected screen either.

Pace makers keep you from dying so they’re sort of on a different level of need. Also, if corps did planned obsolescence on one, you’re probably not around to buy another.
If they were invented today, they would definitely have a predatory subscription model for “monitoring” your heart, or require occasional maintenance at cost to the end user.

I’m with you on 1 and 2, but “reduced lingual skills” I think is a bit of a stretch. Becoming fluent in another language takes a lot of effort and people only do it if they have a good long term reason.
I think it’s more likely this would cover the vacation / short term business case that is already covered by human interpreters (or apps already) instead.

- themoken@startrek.websitetoLinux Gaming@lemmy.world•Europa Universalis V from Paradox will only support Windows, no Linux or macOS this timeEnglish6·29 days ago
Yeah, I was part of those arguments too. In a perfect world Linux would have enough market share to warrant native ports, but Proton getting Wine one-click integrated into Steam and easily targetable is a more realistic bridge to that scenario than holding out on principle. As it is Linux gaming is in the best shape it’s ever been in thanks to Proton.
I also think the argument held more weight 20 years ago, before we started packaging up end user apps in giant self-contained images regularly.
- themoken@startrek.websitetoLinux Gaming@lemmy.world•Europa Universalis V from Paradox will only support Windows, no Linux or macOS this timeEnglish11·29 days ago
This is a non-issue. If you’re a gaming company in the era of Proton, it makes more sense to just focus on Windows issues than to open yourself to support requests from people running any brand of Linux. Proton is just so much easier to target than standalone Linux and you can serve the Linux community / Steam Deck users without needing any actual expertise.

It only looks that way if you’re dumb. There are only two types of society in this world: racist, and racist but trying to deal with it.
It’s why I have a lot of schadenfreude for Sweden/Scandinavia as well. Enlightened multicultural social democracy for everyone… Until migrants show up with the wrong race/religion then suddenly a fascist contingent of your population materializes and there’s a “security crisis”

Any billionaire would take this deal. The hit is in imaginary money (i.e. stock/corporate assets) that won’t affect their daily lives and in return they get unspecified favors from the (other) oligarchs.

Platoon is my favorite as well. Love the contrasting cultures of the soldiers, think it really reflects where America was at on the war (old school, liquor drinking “patriots” backing violence vs. pot smokers just trying to get home alive). Oliver Stone is also an actual Vietnam vet too, Charlie is basically a self insert if I remember correctly.
Light speed is a “you must be this clever to participate” barrier to becoming an interstellar species, that’s all. Even if it’s not breakable, it just means you gotta be able to plan hundreds or thousands of years into the future.

I use private trackers exclusively for content I want to “own” or want in the highest possible quality. Stremio/RD is great though for my wife to be able to search new media and potentially stream in okay quality without fucking with sonarr. Or popular TV you’re maybe not sold on but would try an episode. Or for old SD content, like tossing on a 90s show for a few episodes. To be honest, I live in a world of ad block and Stremio is sometimes the only way I even know something is out…
Anyway, they complement each other well.

Yep. If they somehow were left with only cis white men, they’d redefine cis, white, or man to divide the remaining people.

I will watch this, but only because I’m fairly certain Neuromancer is unadaptable to the screen. The thing that makes William Gibson great is the fantastic way he writes, leaving so much to the imagination but creating a definite vibe. When you have to fill out every single detail to render it on screen, it’s not going to be the same work. I’m sure It’ll share characters and plot points, but these are not the things that make Neuromancer such a classic.

Last I checked, Texas was literally the only red state that actually paid more into the federal government than it took out. The cold snap was just the usual idiocy, but it’s not like it couldn’t be handled, the state just stopped caring about weather proofing infrastructure.
And with the amount of natural resources and basically year round agriculture that happens in Texas, I have no doubt it could be self sufficient to some definition. I almost wish they would secede and tank the current electoral landscape. As long as I can move out first.

Tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises. Same with toads being frogs.
I always love this meme. The way that dude is simultaneously smiling, hitting weed, and in an action stance in case shit comes his way just makes me laugh.
