Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?
  • I buy multiplayer games on steam since that's where my friends are. I pirate almost everything else unless I want to support the developer (typically small indie games or high quality stuff like FromSoft). If I buy a game, I do prefer GOG but steam can be convenient, especially on Linux.

    There is a trove of flash animation that is completely lost to history
  • There are huge archives of flash animations and you can install a safe "emulator" for playing flash that even runs in your browser. Look up Ruffle. I can't remember the name of the big archive site I used, but it didn't take much googling. I know I was able to find Homestar, Larry Carlson, Adam Phillips (bitey), joe cartoon and salad fingers as well as a ton of games from back in the day.

    If you could design your own body and hit a button and have it immediately implemented, would you keep your natural self or would you make changes?
  • I'm honestly fine just being a brain in a jar. Give me access to books and film and video games and I don't think I need a body. Is there a name for what's wrong with me?

    Stop use docker
  • If you're doing it right, containers are less like VMs and more like cgroups. If orchestrated correctly it uses less system resources to run lots of services on a single system/node.

    That said, I'm a devops/infrastructure/network professional and not a developer, so maybe I'm missing something from the dev experience.... But I love containers.

    Docker does kinda suck now, though. Use podman or another interface instead if you can help it.

    California is about to tax guns more like alcohol and tobacco − and that could put a dent in gun violence
  • Wait.... You're telling me that they continue to do crimes with guns even when the guns are illegal? Criminals? Really? I refuse to believe it.

    Sen. Lindsey Graham Suggests Nuking Gaza, Calls Hiroshima ‘the Right Decision’
  • My dude.... Are you just ignoring all the war crimes and atrocities committed by the Japanese Empire leading up to the involvement of the US?

    Nothing excuses the use of nuclear weapons, especially on civilian centers. No need to defeat those arguments.

    But blockading the same country that invaded the Philippines and tossed living babies in the air and caught them on their bayonets was maybe a bit justified.

    Anon has nerdy hobbies
  • I have never seen this actually happen and I have a lot of experience with gaming with randos (I'm old and I also started a gaming club in college that had over 75 members with at least 15 of them being female). I've been playing MTG and D&D at local shops for decades now and I've never once seen other dudes simping or fighting over a girl at the table.

    Not saying it can't happen, nerds are nerds and do often lack social skills. But from my experience (and from what I've heard from my female gamer friends), this has got to be a rare situation.

    Relaxing
  • I actually really enjoyed trig class.

    I hated all math classes before it, but I had a great teacher and something about the real-life usefulness (triangulation, navigation, etc) of trig clicked for me and I enjoyed it and made an A.

    I fucking failed the shit out of statistics, and hilariously that's the most related to my real life job, where I'm dealing with gigantic data sets daily looking for outliers/trends.

    Like Taking Crazy Pills Every Day
  • I fucking abhor the rapist orange turd, but he did sign in the farm act which (unintentionally, especially unpredictably to conservatives) made it pretty much legal to buy weed over the Internet in vape/gummy form. So at least something good came from his term.

    We can all be good and lit for next time when he refuses to leave office and turns the US into Gilead.

    Help with music library setup
  • Airsonic Advanced and DSUB on Android are pretty good options since DSUB has advanced local caching options.

    I aquire my music then run it through Picard for tagging which places it into my NAS where it is mounted to airsonic and jellyfin containers for consumption.

    The jellyfin apps have gotten a lot better and I find myself using feishin and finamp more often lately.

    Trump stock tanks after issuing tens of millions new shares
  • So what would happen if a lot of us liberal minded folks bought up all this worthless stock on the cheap? Would maga fucks pay us (by buying back our interest at a healthy margin) not to influence the trump media group with demands for "woke" media to profit on our investments? 🤔
