Gaming is most definitely not in a dark place right now

Steamdeck, Gaming on Linux, indie games, Arc Raiders, skies are blue and the sun is shining my friend

Everyone has an agenda, it would do you well in life to understand that

You live under a rock my friend.

Look at history. Look at the anology of how a frog will not jump out of boiling water if the temperature is slowly increased.

They are slowly increasing the temperature, and chat control is a big step for them. If you cannot see that then there is no hope for you

Trying to dualboot Linux Mint + Windows on a second external hard drive but Windows Setup doesn't let me install on the disk... in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Yes if you have a cable to disconnect you can do that as well

Most modern machines are m.2 with no cable

100% this.

Physically remove the windows drive, then install on your other drive, once it's all working plug the windows drive back in

I'm severely underweight and it's starting to get to me in c/goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Both are great, but take it slow and easy at first. If you want to start running, try walking first and slowly build up from there

The key is consistency, and baby steps. Be kind to yourself

LLMs are already doing fascists a favor by ensuring that anything that is reasonably eloquently worded on social media is automatically suspected of having been written by LLMs. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

You're absolutely right! My apologies, let's give it another shot and see if it sounds more human!

When/how frequently do you replace your phone with a new one? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world
[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Only when it's unusable. I recently got a new phone, my old one was an iPhone XR but the last few months it just randomly restarts and overheats like crazy.

I did a battery replacement a year ago but I think it was time. I also got a cheap Samsung, I'm not about to pay the money that Apple is charging customers just so I can make phone calls and use maps

Yeah about that... in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world
[–] darkstar@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm assuming they mean yeah that a lot of Reddit is now full of bots and there are a lot of comments or posts that are redacted, which means helpful information is missing from older posts

Microsoft kills official way to activate windows without internet in c/technology@lemmy.world

Not the original commenter, but for me it's Arc Raiders. I'm a fan of extraction shooters and have been messing with the idea of fully switching to Linux and ditching microslop completely, aaaaaaand then Arc Raiders was released

What is in Area 51? (sh.itjust.works)
 

What are the most likely theories for what is inside Area 51. No crazy conspiracy theories, actual grounded theories that are probable or likely.

I love Language Models! (ChatGPT & Gemini) (sh.itjust.works)
 

Not an advertisement I swear, but I honestly love language models, I specifically use Chat GPT and Gemini ALL the time.

I'm someone who loves research and learning. I always have questions on all sorts of things. Before GPT I would be googling things for hours each day, visiting forums, watching YouTube videos, etc.

Now with GPT I can ask so many questions on things I am curious about, and even ask follow up questions or ask for more in depth explanations.

I think I am also a bit ADHD and so my brain is always jumping around different topics which makes me curious on specific things. My latest is insects, specifically wasps.

I absolutely hate bugs, and wasps are the worst. But I am now learning more and more how important a lot of bugs actually are to the ecosystem. It's really a great way to learn and engage with topics when you can ask follow up questions or ask for more details on specific aspects.

TLDR: GPT has replaced 90% of my research that Google used to be.

Important Note: Please be aware language models can be innacurate and prone to mistakes, so always verify the data from other sources if you need accurate information and not just general knowledge.

Should I glue my SIM card tray shut? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I know it's an odd question, but where I live phones get stolen often. My phone doesn't have the option for an eSim, which is a problem because 90% of the time when a thief steals a phone they take out the SIM card immediately, meaning I wouldn't be able to remotely lock or wipe my phone.

Should I consider glueing the SIM tray shut? Or are there alternative less permanent measures I can take to keep my device secure?

Question: 3rd Party App Request (sh.itjust.works)
 

As per title, I'd like to know if there are any third party apps worth it still?

I'd ideally like a web app that scrapes the shit out of Reddit causing more harm than good. Anything like that available? (Even if it's a website that scrapes I'll be happy)

Feature Request: Mark posts as read on scroll (sh.itjust.works)
 

Apollo had this feature where you scroll past a post and it automatically marks the post as read. This is huge because it allows you to easily doom scroll without seeing the same content twice :,)

Please allow links to open in default browser (sh.itjust.works)
 

As per title, I would love a toggle option to allow in app links to open in my default browser automatically.

okay, I'll be the first to post (sh.itjust.works)
 

So I'm curious with the whole Ledger seed backup controversy, are Ledger devices actually safe? Should I continue to use my Ledger? I don't have much so I'm not too concerned, but I'd like to still sleep peacefully at night regardless.

My App Icon submission (sh.itjust.works)
 

I don't have any software on my phone to round corners so please excuse the square.

The fediverse is a vast and beautiful place, just like our universe. I think our app icon should go deeper and represent more than just a simple spaceship or a mouse.

What action are we taking to protect against spam? (sh.itjust.works)
 

As the title says, lemm.ee is defederating instances that are allowing thousands of spam bots to be created on them. Will we be taking similar action? What is the game plan here?

What will happen to Brave browser after the manifest change? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I've read some things online about it all but I'm not a total IT boff. Is it really true that Brave browser won't be able to block ads once the changes are made next year?

Ps. I use Firefox with uBlock but my SO and most of my clients absolutely love Brave

Looking for MotorSports recordings (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hello world, I'm looking for motorsport reruns or recordings, specifically F1 and MotoGP. I'd like to watch the entire race but not live, maybe 2 or 3 days after.

Are there any resources like this?
