Having read through some of the comments I just wanted to add one thing. If you find that one distro doesn’t quite do what you need, don’t be afraid to wipe it again and install a different distro. I migrated from windows 10 to Linux mint, I found it frustrating for gaming, and then from mint I switched to cachyOS, which is built from the same OS that the steam deck uses. I haven’t had any similar issues since. Find what works for you, and don’t be afraid to try something else

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever had a time a food so good it "converted" you?
4·2 months agoI was a picky eater as a child. There are tons of foods I didn’t like and would not eat. As an adult I’ve been challenging myself to try these foods again. The most dramatic difference in what I tasted versus what I expected was just fresh cut strawberries. I was at a wedding and they had a fruit display. I tried one, and then I got more. It turns out that a lot of the foods I didn’t like as a kid were either not the right temperature or bad quality.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•People who didn't get sugar as kids, how did that work out?
5·2 months agoI think in this context it means to be a “helicopter parent”. One that hovers over their child ready to act. I compare it to a smothering style of parenting
Perfect. Thank you. It’s truly the best of both worlds

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Would wrapping a house in giant Saran wrap to prepare for a hurricane be a really good idea, or a really bad one?
4·2 months agoI think that in order to explain my thoughts on this I want to explain how warehouses transport pallets of stuff with plastic wrap. Using plastic wrap for transporting/moving stuff is incredibly useful, but not how you might think. It’s not that the stuff inside is any safer than if you didn’t use it. It’s more that the stuff inside is incredibly contained and likely to hold it’s shape even if things start to break. Which means you won’t have a giant mess to clean up, and you can reasonably rely on it to support any other things stacked on top of your pallet.
This wouldn’t work for safeguarding your house, because if you’ve ever dunked something wrapped in Saran wrap you’ll notice that it’s not always water tight. Add extreme winds and the wrap will likely peel off and make things worse. I think you’d probably have a giant mess, and be no more protected than if you didn’t use any Saran wrap at all

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can someone who works in an industry or for an employer with clear negative impacts on society/the world maintain a clear concience?
5·2 months agoI have a friend who worked relatively high in big tobacco. He rationalized that his job is going to exist no matter what, and that if he takes it, he will be able to benefit and do something about it. I don’t know what he meant by doing something, but it didn’t seem to eat at him. But either way he only worked there for about 2 years before getting recruited somewhere else

Games@lemmy.world•Subnautica 2 Early Access sales top four million in under a weekEnglish
2·2 months agoThis is how I’m thinking about it. Plus, I can buy the game and play it once it’s completed. There is no obligation to play it the second I download it

Technology@lemmy.world•Kobo ereaders are integrating with Goodreads alternative StoryGraphEnglish
4·2 months agoI will report that I have not tried uploading books via WiFi to my kobo, but I have had such simple and straightforward success by plugging the kobo into a laptop and simply dropping book files onto it like an external drive. Kobo handles the rest

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•People who are staying on Plex, have you tried Jellyfin? What about it do you not prefer? (real question)English
7·2 months agoI started with jellyfin, and eventually let my partner convince me to pay for a lifetime pass for Plex. Plex just has better functionality. Not only can I access my library from anywhere, the subtitles work without fiddling with different srt files, the error messages are much more descriptive, and I find the documentation for adding OTA antenna and DVR functionality much more comprehensible with Plex.
I like jellyfin for what it is, but Plex makes it all work with far less headache and much better support. So Plex wins, in my mind for now.
And with all that being said, I got my Plex lifetime pass a few years ago, so the value I have will not be the same as yours if you are just now starting to consider Plex, so I can understand why you might have a different opinion

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•Microsoft brings back Windows 10 taskbar customizations to Windows 11English
1·3 months agoI’m using for steam gaming mostly. I can’t get some of the more popular type games playing, and then also some stopped working. I’m afraid that I messed up some proton settings and I was thinking of switching to bazzite, but I want to actually know what I’m doing when it comes to configuration of my environment so that it takes as little tinkering as possible

Technology@lemmy.world•Welcome to the vulnpocalypse, as vendors use AI to find bugs and patches multiply like rabbitsEnglish
8·3 months agoThe real concern is the quality of the patches AI are making. If they are badly trained (i.e. learning with buggy code, which is all of it over time) then there is a possibility that it can introduce bugs that did not exist, or possibly do nothing to patch the bug, while adding incoherent code to an existing codebase

I’ve been having issues with games on my Linux mint setup and if this doesn’t work I may finally switch to a different flavor os

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favourite independent website?
2·4 months agoA blog of one dude in California and he’s been posting to his website since the 90s. He makes lots of art projects and plays elaborate yet harmless pranks on his friends. Once he was tasked with covering Dave Grohl in tin foil on MTV for some reason
Thank you for the recommendation. I’m trying to find what is worth watching on YouTube and this looks entertaining

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Docker Hub's trust signals are a lie — and Huntarr is just the latest proofEnglish
8·5 months agoAs a software developer, it is a known best practice when you are using external software to use a specific version. Never use “latest” except in testing and development. Once it’s ready you pin it to a version ( which can be the latest version, just make sure to actually specify that version id). Then again I’ve never set up an *arr stack before

1·5 months agoIf Lego based videogames like Lego star wars achieve a similar idea in my mind. I imagine that if there was money in that idea, Lego would have already tried it over the last 20 years or so


I would love to revisit some games, but the online aspect is a big portion that I’ve been missing. I would love to revisit some of the world’s people created in little big planet. Is that possible?
