You also don’t have to worry about it fucking disappearing on you unless you have a drive failure.

They’re both planning on the same thing, it sounds like.

It doesn’t sound like Disney is licensing their content to Netflix, they’re both just essentially replicating cable TV based on their catalogues with ads interspersed.

You don’t need to sign up for forums for them to be searched through.

The point is that Discord is an information black hole. It’s all contained within the server, unindexed, private, hidden, and entirely gone if the server gets deleted.

Yes.

The correct answer was forum.

Anything with a twenty thousand dollar “microtransaction” is a fucking scam.

Have fun defending a broken game. Sunk cost fallacy is a traditional trait of SC players.

No, the game is still a scam because it’s been literally over a decade of development and every time I’ve been invited to go try the latest and greatest in their innovation, the game is laggy as balls and the servers never work. Also the fact that they have ships costing as much as actual automobiles that people purchase despite still being technically in beta is absolutely bonkers. They’ve had several waves of crowdfunding and the game is still in a pretty garbage state.

Trust me, I’ve wanted an actual successor to Freelancer for longer than this game has been in development, and it still doesn’t scratch the itch because whenever I try to play it, the game essentially doesn’t work.

Cost discipline is the last thing on these guys’ radar. A 20,000 dollar ship? That’s like a third of somebody’s annual salary.

The company that’s been running one of the most successful scams in gaming for over a decade is toxic? No way.

I think it boils down to preference of thumb vs pinky. The ergo choice is thumb but the conditioned choice is pinky.

I’ve had several Keychrons and the only one that failed on me was due to liquid damage. I’ve had three of them and the original one I purchased for working on a Mac is still running strong with a few coffee stains. The second one I bought with a backlight lasted two years and died by my own hand. I have a new backlit one with a different set of keycaps and it’s been going strong for a year with no issues.

I tend to buy the wired C2 series which is the cheapest lineup. The great thing about Keychrons is that they are highly repairable and customizable by the user. You can replace keycaps, switches, and the keyboards are all designed to support both layouts with each requisite key included for Command and Windows. It can toggle to either OS via the flip of a switch, and you can attach the keycaps you prefer.

I use the Windows layout on all of my machines that run Linux, personally. You could easily keep the Windows configuration switch and just uh, replace the key I guess if that’s your aesthetic preference. I would probably do that if I were in your position. The keycaps are included and it’s not going to interfere unless you flip the switch.

Warner Bros. Discovery has fallen short of our expectations, the rest of the populace has said.

I don’t get how this is news, it’s the most predictable, obvious outcome.

Nintendo literally DMCA’s hentai artists bro.

i love the crtc

what a wonderful institution

I’M DOING MY PART!

Garuda for gaming and Silverblue for work.

Silverblue rocks, I use it for my mission critical laptop.

For gaming it’s hard to beat Arch, still, because of how much active development is being put in by people like Steam.

Netflix also made a killing by creating the ad-supported tier, because the ads more than cover the cost of lowering the subscription. My folks pay for Netflix with ads but you can block them with a DNS sink like AdGuard or a Pi-Hole.

I think it’s a scam honestly. Netflix’s library has shrunk with all the other streaming services coming into the market. It was convenient when it was the only game in town but now it’s just one of a dozen services feeling more like cable than streaming.

I just saw an article where Apple TV+ was going to bundle with Paramount+ for a lower rate.

I like talking here more than reddit, because it doesn’t feel like being a drop in the ocean.

I’m sure people recognize me across instances for being a garbage shitposter. A smoothbrain, with cold takes.

I have my share of issues with Dells, but the last HP machine I had killed itself through fan failure and overheating.

My Dells tend to break to wear and tear from me being not so gentle with them - I think I’ve had two Dells that had hinge issues, but that’s not as major as an overheating problem.

They have awful support. They build machines that are prone to overheating, their servers are second to Dell (who have considerably better support), there’s a lot about HP not to appreciate.

As a friend of sysadmins I hear horror stories of HP server racks and I hear most shops running with Dell enterprise plans both for laptops and servers.

If you have a Windows button you can map it. They call it the meta button. I think command key on a Mac is labeled the same way.
