Hyprland is now fully independent!

    People that enjoy Shipment, Nuketown and other such maps in Call of Duty... why?
  • When I played COD (whatever the last one was before this most recent release) I loved playing shipment for laughs. Hide in a corner and setup claymores while aiming my shotgun down sight. Stupid stuff like that. I'd be 10-30 by the end but I'd have so much fun. To me it's almost like an arcade mode.

    Why do hacked channels on youtube always post Tesla/SpaceX stuff?
  • Imagine how bad it'll get with generative AI only getting better. Think about someone like Linus Tech Tips getting hacked and an AI video getting uploaded of him telling his users to go sign up for a chance to win some $5000 PC "we're giving 500 away!" and that site which won't even have to look like anything other than "someMadeUpBrand.com/giveaway/linus". It's crazy to even think about how many people would fall for that shit. If the AI is good enough I might fall for it and I'm pretty damn good at catching it (for now).

    MODERN WARFARE: How Call of Duty 4 Changed a Genre Forever
  • Maybe not super slow paced like Squad but super slow paced compared to today's COD.

    https://youtu.be/GfrEy6xcyec?si=QL4lMkM4QvabkgvQ

    Back when you'd hold positions and provide cover fire while someone would slowly push up or flank etc. It was a much different game before MW released.

    I used to play this at gaming cafes in the early/mid 2000s with my buddies before we all had proper gaming computers alongside Battlefield 1942. Definitely not confusing it for Operation Flashpoint haha.

    MODERN WARFARE: How Call of Duty 4 Changed a Genre Forever
  • When this game came out I hated it because I loved the original Call of Duty games that were super slow paced and more realistic. But eventually it became my main game playing till 4am on Xbox with friends. I miss the simplicity of COD MW.

    PC sometimes won't turn on until I unplug it from the wall for a 30 seconds or so. Faulty PSU?
  • Fire hazard being messing something up by tinkering with the PSU. It's not worth it over something that can be replaced for so little money. And I think it's just more about swap out the most likely failing component (the PSU) and see if the problem goes away. If it doesn't then you know it wasn't the PSU.

  • Just get a PSU from the store and test it on your. It'll tell you very quickly without risking a potential fire hazard.

    "Working with Gen AI" by Dandytoon
  • ChatGPT has been spot on for my DDLs. I was working on a personal project and was feeling really lazy about setting up a postgres schema. I said I wanted a postgres DDL and just described the application in detail and it responded with pretty much what I would have done (maybe better) with perfect relationships between tables and solid naming conventions with very little work for me to do on it. I love it for more boilerplate stuff or sorta like you said just getting me going. Super complicated code usually doesn't work perfectly but I always use it for my DDLs now and similar now.

    The real problem is when people don't realize something is wrong and then get frustrated by the bugs. Though I guess that's a great learning opportunity on its own.

    Dr Disrespect fired by the game studio he co-founded: 'It is our duty to act with dignity on behalf of all individuals involved'
  • It's like when people that cheat on others in their relationships start accusing their partners of cheating or have major trust issues because of their guilt (or whatever it is). And by that same logic I conclude that Nickmercs is a pedo (if he can do it with the LGBTQ community without evidence then he wouldn't mind me making similarly wild claims about him, right?).

    THE DALLAS MAVERICKS HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED FROM CHAMPIONSHIP CONTENTION
  • This series was more like a "prolonging the suffering" sweep. Other than a few competitive quarters the Mavs never looked like they had a chance to win this series unfortunately. Game 4 was such an obvious fluke at that point. I'm saying this as a purple and gold blooded Boston hater: The Celtics were just too good for anything the West had to put up against them this year to have a good series (for anyone but Boston fans that is haha).

    Grayzone Warfare?
  • Haven't played since close to launch (because it was very laggy). I really liked the idea and had a lot of fun when it was working. I haven't played in a while so I can't comment on the current state of the game but if you like Tarkov or DMZ there's a good chance you'll like this game. It feels like it's somewhere between the arcade feel of DMZ and the milsim feel of Tarkov.

    I also like that it's one big living map. I haven't tested it but I'm pretty sure you can be in one zone and run all the way over to a totally different zone (what would be considered a different map in Tarkov). The map feels super big. I'm excited to check it out again.

    How can I fix this rotation issue?
  • Then offer education or ignore the post. You know what's easier than OP googling the question? You not responding to OP if you don't have anything of value to add. You're here with a passive aggressive "let me Google that for you" bullshit attitude yet YOU'RE upset at OP for not being better at searching for their answers?

    I agree people should put more effort into trying to figure it out on their own and learning how to ask good questions but the tone of your comments is more detrimental to the quality of these communities than a "stupid question" ever will be.

  • Now we have millions of useless posts being archived like this one.

    The archives! Why won't anyone think of the archives!?

    If we have room for comments like yours in the archives then we have room for legitimate questions by beginners in there too. Your post history shows a significant amount of deleted comments and downvotes. I bet they were all very productive and helpful comments for the archives, right?

  • I notice when I open the app if I don't go to "all" communities then I just see the same posts for about 3-4 days (mostly). I go to the communities I subscribe to and see there are plenty of posts there that are much more recent with upvotes and activity that would have appeared at the top of my home feed in BoostForReddit.

    I'm still getting the hang of Lemmy so I'm not sure if it's something I'm doing wrong or just the nature of the beast right now because it's a different algorithm than what's on Reddit.

    My issue, for example, I follow a lot of tech/software development related communities and if I go to "subscribed" all I see for the first probably 10 posts is linux@lemmy.ml despite following many many other communities in my local instance and even other instances. I definitely like seeing linux@lemmy.ml in my feed but would like to see more from other communities too but I am not sure if that's something I can really control.

    Also, sort of an adjacent question, what exactly is "local" supposed to be in Boost? From my understanding it should be only posts from communities in your local instance, correct? For me, local shows posts from many instances from my local ie programming.dev (the only one I have an account with) as well as lemmy.world, lemmy.ml etc etc.

    I would love some feedback here as I work to make Lemmy my new Reddit. After Reddit officially killed BoostForReddit and other 3rd party apps again the other day I decided I was tired of finding workarounds to keep it alive and wanted to officially ditch reddit (with the exception of using Google to search reddit due to the huge archive of information there).

    Thanks for any help!
