I use Plex for audiobooks and TV shows primarily.

The fact that you can’t (or at least can’t easily) scan library files from Plexamp is utterly insane to me. Especially after they made audio libraries completely unavailable on the regular Plex app.

I’ll probably switch to Audiobookshelf or something else down the line.

I… People actually put water in the wiper fluid tank?

I feel like I’m too “I live in a ‘cold-ish’ place” to understand this but

Is this a thing in warmer climates?

Love me some Far Cry games

It’s the only time I’ll ever get an Ubisoft game, and usually I’ll pick them up on deep sales

But for whatever reason they just scratch a particular itch

I hated the ending of 5, but it was otherwise alright

6 was whatever, but overall not as bad as the reviews made it out to be imo

My job doesn’t allow me to use a jailbroken/rooted device

So if/when this goes through I’ll be switching to iOS.

Given the choice between two closed platforms, I’ll pick the one that ostensibly says they’re privacy focused instead of the one actively enshittifying their product.

I can only stand to read the same joke about a sea bass so many times

OSRS has parts where you have to command your pet cat to attack rats even

Although in fairness I’d rather not have to ever deal with those mechanics ever again

Maybe it thought you were asking for states that contain the letter D? In which case it missed Idaho, Nevada, Maryland, Rhode Island (with two) and both Dakotas

So yea it did pretty poorly either way lmao

I’m using Bazzite on hardware that is, notoriously Linux unfriendly (nvidia GPU, partitioned SSD…)

And the only major issue I had was completely self-inflicted: I tried turning on Frame Gen in Cyberpunk and it made it not happy. The game was unplayable.

The minor issue I had (that was actually OS related) was some color accuracy issues - everything looked washed out on a default install, some googling got me to a small piece of software that I set to launch on login that fixed it, allowing me to set my color saturation how I want.

Aside from that, it’s been pretty straightforward. I don’t play many multiplayer games, and the one I do (OSRS) is pretty well-supported. The client everyone uses runs well and I was able to install the Jagex Launcher just fine, even if it is unsupported it works fine.

Bazzite desktop has been the best desktop Linux experience I’ve ever had and I’ll probably stick with it going forward.

Nah fuckem, I uninstalled today after this and seeing how they implemented:

1. The most toxic bit of powercreep from the main TCG (basics that have free attacks)
2. Supporter card abilities that got put onto EX cards as once-per-turn abilities

The gacha-ness of it all just caught up to me

Like the other commenter said - people recommend them for peace of mind so you don’t have to think about knowing a password for the 2653rd account you set up once and are never using again. It’s the next best thing to just remembering complex passwords.

I’ve used Dashlane for years, personally, but I know people here will immediately shut that down for not being FOSS. Bitwarden is FOSS but requires some technical setup and has no redundancy.

Don’t get me wrong, I love self-hosting as much as the rest of us but I’m not trusting my server from 2013 with all my passwords to everything.

You can always get re-usable silicone bags, but they’re not as effective imo because it’s harder to get all the air out for a good vacuum seal.

The microplastics are in everything anyways at this point, I doubt a few steaks cooked like this are hurting anyone 😅

The game was ahead of it’s time in terms of combat. It felt janky at times but it plays like a souls-like with how slow and deliberate you need to be once enemies start having proper counters to what you do.

And the time dagger mechanic was always fantastic to me conceptually.

Here’s hoping Ubi doesn’t fuck it up beyond belief.

I was in a similar situation, but as the boyfriend at the time

I’d driven 1.5hr away to see my then girlfriend at college. We went out for groceries and were just pulling into her campus, making a left on a yellow when a cyclist went straight on a yellow. She flipped over the hood of my car and broke her collarbone.

I’d almost come to a complete stop when the actual collision happened but was still on the hook for the fines and license points for failing to yield.

The girl I hit didn’t press charges or anything. And as far as I’m aware she’s doing ok.

Despite the trauma, I kept driving out of necessity, I had to get 80+ miles home somehow and I definitely wasn’t going to Uber from there.

Now we got married, and we both have long commutes for our jobs (in opposite directions unfortunately, we just moved to a more central spot for it) and our jobs require travel between multiple locations throughout the day.

Quitting driving would’ve kept us from job opportunities that allow us to have the lifestyle we live today.

I don’t think you’re overreacting, but imo you shouldn’t let something like that define your adult life. Accidents happen, and this was probably the best-cass scenario in your case.

Linus? That you?

Oh so we’re going back to our roots with this one, a riot in Falador it is then.

‘Scheme’ has that connotation in the US, yeah.

I know publications outside the US use it in a much more neutral manner, but it’s funny to us.

So many furries

I’d know, I’m one of them

Same - it’s pretty fun on a guitar controller if you have one!

Actual Nazi Nick Fuentes is on video saying “that is a genuine, bonafide Roman Salute” (paraphrasing)

Saw that on The Humanist Report’s coverage of it today, who, jokingly, tried giving Musk as much “benefit of the doubt” or “leeway” as he could, while citing sources like Fuentes.

Musk is a card carrying Nazi, same as the rest.

Bleh.

This is awful.
