  • Even better, when they film vertically, and then encode it to widescreen. Ensuring that no matter how you view it on a phone it's microscopic.

    Year of Linux on the Desktop
  • Win 7 64-bit handily beats any distro of Linux at .69% (nice). Comparing only to 32-bit isn't a fair comparison. Not that I'm against using Linux, I use Pop_os on a spare computer as a Linux test bed for gaming.

    Space sim Squadron 42 is "feature-complete" and gunning for Starfield's lunch with massive new video
  • I watched the video and what they showed certainly looks impressive. The level of detail in actions, variety of gameplay, immersive first person perspective, and visual details all look good. I hope the game looks and plays as good as what's shown and actually releases sometime soon, but I'm not holding my breath. Even if you ignore all the baggage the game has, gameplay trailers to games still in development are lies more often than not. I stopped following the development like 8 years ago, now it's off my radar until it actually releases.

  • Absolutely agree. Bethesda games have always been "go fuck around and find random stuff to do" games to me and I'm having a lot of fun so far. I enjoy just "living in" the universes they make. It took me over 100 hours to reach the main stadium town in Fallout 4 because I would go off and explore waymarkers and make my own fun. And that's a place you're supposed to go relatively early in the main story, IIRC. I would certainly not call it a 10/10 because it definitely has problems, but none have gotten in the way of my enjoyment so far.

  • You don't even need photoshop. Just use the inspect function in your browser and edit the values directly in the HTML. Free and much easier to not fuck up the formatting.

    They're not supposed to look like that
  • Yeah, which is why you shouldn't use strong household cleaners around kids, and should only use it with proper ventilation and a respiratory device if warranted. And smoking is bad, don't do it around your kids.

    Marvel's Spider-Man 2 Accessibility Features Let You Slow Down Gameplay - IGN
  • I liked them fine enough the first time through the game. But I absolutely loved that I could disable them for my second playthrough. More customization like this is a big step forward.

    Disapproval of Elon Musk is top reason Tesla owners are selling, survey says
  • That is a bit surprising for the reasons you say. EVs having less reliability overall kinda makes sense given the market is still going through growing pains. I'm betting it will improve quickly given that most manufacturers are still ramping up production.

    Disapproval of Elon Musk is top reason Tesla owners are selling, survey says
  • If I already had a Tesla I don't know that I'd sell it because of him, but he was one of the major factors in me not even considering them when I was shopping for my EV. The other reasons being shoddy quality control, shitty practices, and dumb design decisions. All of which probably stem from him anyway.

    You didn't bought it you rented it! - Lemmy.world
  • When I bought my house the previous owners didn't want their old printer and asked if we wanted it. I said sure, figuring if it was crap I can just get rid of it. It's a 14 year old Brother laser printer and I'm never getting rid of it. It's big, it's got no wifi, can only scan to USB or an FTP server, and (obviously) only prints in black and white. But I'll be damned if the thing doesn't just work without any fuss. You turn it on, hit print and it fucking prints. No fade lines or misprints because you haven't printed in 3 months.

    My old inkjet sits in a closet now collecting dust. Fuck dealing with ink that dries up and constantly needs to be changed or cleaned.

  • You're not wrong, but I think the above poster was sarcastically pointing out that people who believe that the government is highly coordinated and competent don't trust the government to run healthcare because it's too uncoordinated and incompetent. Both incredibly strong and also laughably weak.

    Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes?
  • The critic vs audience score divide is pretty telling for some movies. Ant-Man: Quantumania and both Venom movies come to mind as movies that were critically panned but had pretty high audience score. They're nothing spectacular but still dumb fun movies.

    Clearly he didn't buy it for that either, since he chucked those out the window shortly after purchase. Pretty sure he spent billions of dollars to shitpost and create a safe space for nazis.

    Have you ever dumped a job right after youve been hired?
  • Stringing them along and wasting more of their time and money was the not a dick option? I'd say that's the be more of a dick option. I'm all for walking out on a shitty job, but it sounds like their worst crime was not giving you as good an offer as somewhere else.

    Is there a way to block entire instances?
  • Maybe it was just buggy a couple weeks ago when I tried it, but I tried blocking feddit.de and it didn't work. I would still see magazines from that instance, I had to block them individually to make them go away.

    How do you keep docker/podman containers up-to-date?
  • I use something called What's Up Docker to check for docker updates. It integrates nicely with Home Assistant, so I made a card on my server state dashboard that shows which containers have updates available. I'll check every so often and update my docker-compose files.
