Surely "1337" is the same as 1337, right? in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

Wouldn't the answer be "10" in that case?

It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play? Also, could we have a monthly thread for July? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

I bought The Farmer Was Replaced yestarday, so I'll probably be finishing it over the weekend. It's a cute programming incremental game, but if you have 0 experience with writing code the later challenges might get too difficult

What is your favourite game with native Linux port? in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

[-] Rez@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 week ago

I was going to say Factorio as well! :D Hollow Knight has a native port and is a fantastic game, but my favorite games are ones like OpenMW or DevilutionX where the entire engine is remade from the ground up and open-source

I don't use crossbows in video games (sh.itjust.works)

In all the games I've played (one exception being Half-Life, but that's different) I really don't like using crossbows and avoid doing so at all costs. I don't really know why that is, but to me they don't seem to fit the setting of games like Elder Scrolls or Gothic. I love using regular bows, however. Maybe crossbows feel too modern for me? I don't really know anything about medieval weapons or when they were invented.

What about you? How do you feel about crossbows in these types of games or do you have a similar weird thing you just don't like and refuse to do in video games?

Help updating to Fedora 40 (sh.itjust.works)

Hello, I've installed Fedora 38 (KDE spin), about the time it came out and need a little help updating it.

I got a system update through Discover when 39 came out, I updated it restarted, and I didn't think much of it. Now that Fedora 40 came out, I did the same thing, but this time, after the update, I checked the system information in the settings, and it says that I am still running Fedora 38!

I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 (ugh, but I need it for work) and I noticed that in grub the option to boot Fedora also says 38. There are also some recovery boot options.

I'm confused and don't know what to do to update to 40? Would really like to avoid doing a fresh install.

I'd say I'm a novice Linux user, but this is the first time in dealing with something like this, so sorry if I missed some crucial information, will provide anything needed to help fix this issue.

Thanks in advance!

Youtube search results have been garbage for a while now :(

There's this stupid theory, that men who "lean in" to the womans side are beta. People who believe this theory post edited pictures of famous couples with an added green line to show how the man is leaning in or show how a man is leaning out to explain that he's an alpha. Obviously, this is complete BS.

Why would anyone ever censor the word 'fag' in a greentext? I hate this PC shit

Looking for a low-end setup (sh.itjust.works)

I have a laptop with a Ryzen 7 5700U, 16 GB ram, running Fedora 38 linux.
I'm looking to run a local uncensored LLM, I'd like to know what would be the best model and software to run it.
I'm currently running KoboldAI and Erebus 2.7b. It's okay in terms of speed, but I'm wondering if there's anything better out there. I guess, I would prefer something that is not web-ui based to lower the overhead, if possible.
I'm not very well versed in all the lingo yet, so please keep it simple.
Thanks!

Is brave the only browser with fingerprint randomization? in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] Rez@sh.itjust.works 21 points 7 months ago

But isn't randomization supposed to give you a different unique fingerprint each time? So yes, you would be unique and easily tracked but only until your fingerprint changes

How private am I? (sh.itjust.works)

I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it's "strict" setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn't work due to blocked connections I relax the restrictions in uMatrix or temporarily disable it entirely if I get frustrated or I'm in a hurry. I watch videos on YouTube. Don't use social media, but I do use Facebook messenger (although I prefer to use Signal with the handful of people I can). I use a Xiaomi phone with custom ad blocking DNS (I'd like to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS someday). I look for an app on F-Droid first, but install it through Google Play if I can't find what I need there. I use Qwant and DuckDuckGo. I use ReVanced. I do not use a VPN. I think that's all the relevant information. My question is: how easy do you think it still is for big tech to track me? Are there any suggestions you would have for a person like me that wouldn't sacrifice too much convenience?

How do you stop thinking about work at home and home at work? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Rez@sh.itjust.works 26 points 8 months ago

Whenever I'm not ar work and a work thought pops into my head I just think "they aren't paying me to think about this now" and then just start thinking about something else
