I wish I could find a TV for sale that isn’t a Smart TV. It’s not necessary and you get issues like this down the road. I’m sure it isn’t too long until the other TV manufactures do the same thing.

I use it as an acknowledgement at work, and to be a sarcastic asshole with my friends. Context is key.

Dropbox works pretty well for me, however I’m planning on building my own home server with nextcloud setup as soon as I can.

Sort of just seems like math too me. If a basket has apples and oranges in it, but far more are apples then oranges, it’s safe to assume you’ll see more apples when you look in the basket. Doesn’t mean the oranges aren’t just a good as the apples, there’s just more apples.

Genuine question, and I don’t mean any disrespect, if down votes are intended to mean people disagree with you, and you don’t know these people, why did you care so much that you won’t share your opinion on things again? I’ve never understood this way of thinking. Maybe I’m just weird but I for the life of me can’t imagine caring that much about what strangers think.

I have a friend that complains constantly about Twitter, how its going downhill and he doesn’t agree with what their doing and all that. Yet, he insists on using it everyday. I’ve suggested Mastodon and he said that “everyone is on Twitter” and then complains about it. Couldn’t believe that I deleted my Twitter account without a second thought.

People are strange.

I’ve noticed smaller groups work really well. Once they get too large they start to devolve into in-fighting causing smaller sub-groups within the main. It’s almost as if we’re just not designed as a species to communicate with this many people all at once…

Honestly the issue isn’t Reddit, it’s just people. Most people are decent to great, with a smaller group of bad to horrible. With more people on Reddit the pool of bad to horrible is bigger, and they tend to be the loudest of the bunch.

Not at all. Honestly getting rid of Twitter and Reddit has given me more free time that I didn’t realize I was wasting constantly scrolling. There’s less to see on Mastodon and Lemmy so I usually just run through it in the morning on my way to work and a bit at night if I’m bored (like right now.) I’ve gotten back into reading books a lot more and getting off the computer for a lot longer.

Honestly getting rid of Twitter and Reddit has improved my life if anything.

I recently realized, while dealing with some screen flickering with the most recent Nvidia drivers, that I had never used Linux without a Nvidia GPU. I’ve always had them in my computer so I always installed the driver. Lately I play mostly older games so I decided to remove the GPU and let my i9 sort out the graphics.

When I say it was a NIGHT AND DAY difference in overall quality I’m not kidding. Everything was buttery smooth and any lingering thoughts of missing Windows faded away. Honestly felt like I bought a new computer.

Now I’ve decided to sell my Nvidia GPU on eBay and either grab an AMD card or be bold and pick up an Intel Arc 750.

So in short, to echo Linus himself, fuck Nvidia.

Some of my favorite roleplaying experience at the table was due to a nat 1. Failure can be hilarious and a good DM will reward solid roleplay with a way out of a negative situation.

With the amount of time spent talking about Reddit on Lemmy that’s not too big of a surprise

It’s amazing how fast Reddit went from my favorite place to be online to a trash heap
