My copy hasn’t started doing that

Google Chrome! It’s nice that it syncs with my existing Google account instead of needing a new one, plus it has updates built in!

Do you ever run into issues with the bus taking a lot longer, and you not accounting for the extra time if your wife take the car? Where I live, 15-20 minute car rides are often 35-45 minute bus rides, and the bus comes half an hour.

That sounds like a lot of hassle for someone who doesn’t want hassle.

If you want walkable cities, try Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic. It’s janky and complex as hell, but citizens don’t even have cars by default (unless you explicitly build parking lots and buy cars for them), and they rely entirely on walking and public transit to get around. Buildings can receive emergency services via pedestrian paths too (unless they’re something like a grocery store that has parking spaces)

…everyone is arguing? Considering the studies given by both sides, and the constant promotion of that one brand of vegan cat food, it’s hard to give one side a clear objective win (though I do lean toward giving the cat meat).

I thought Twitter/X was the one being wiped out, not Mastadon

Is the answer not “A miserable little pile of secrets”?

Wait, there are USB cables that don’t transfer data? What do they do then, charge only?

Genetics can make it very difficult for people to lose weight - my ex girlfriend was twice my weight even though we had similar diets - in fact. she arguably ate slightly healthier than me, and often less.

To be honest, I mostly play it on Windows, but occasionally launch it on my Linux laptop. My laptop is from 2012, has 4 GB of ram, and is pretty underpowered, so it's slow, but it would probably work pretty well on a properly specced Linux computer. It's a standard Unity game, so I suspect there shouldn't be too many glitches or things that.

It's a super complex game and I quite love playing co-op with my brother. It's easy to spend hours designing all the various sub-systems of a warship only to watch it still fail against the mid-level factions.

And people wonder why I don’t even bother clicking the link

A lot of the time, obesity is caused by genetic conditions and it can be very difficult to lose weight. Better for fat people to be able to actually participate in society.

Isn’t Linus pretty famous for his tech tips YouTube channel?

A custom bike sounds expensive, I really wish there were more east-to-buy prebuilt options. Fat people are pretty common, they’re not a rare body shape or disability that should require a custom bike. And I do wish higher weight limit tires were more common, I’m not overweight myself but I sometimes heavily load my electric bike with cargo (and a trailer that pushes down on the rear axle), and occasionally I have problems with spokes breaking already. Bikes that can carry toddlers are becoming common fast, I wish heavy wheels were more standardized for both heavy people and cargo bikes.

But bigger people deserve to be able to bike too! It’s just the reality of the world we live in, plus many people have genetic issues that make it fairly difficult to lose weight. They shouldn’t be locked out of basic things like being able to survive without a car. I admit horses are a different story because they’re live animals, but bicycles are human-made and can and should be designed to handle more weight, especially with how many people are bigger.

Isn’t Shapiro one of those conservative influencers, similar to Tucker or Alex Jones? Why would Kamala choose Ben Shapiro?

I know it feels as bad as Reddit

I really wish she wasn’t constantly referred to by an acronym, it makes her sound like a super PAC or some other soulless organization instead of an actual person. Pedantic I know, but as someone only vaguely familiar with her, it’s the first thing I think of when I hear about her.

I quite like Besiege, but I’d probably have to go with From the Depths.

I found BotW pretty fun and refreshing! It was a nice change of pace from traditional Zelda.

Based on the about of Lemmy comments advocating for it, it seems like the typical voter is pretty passionate about ranked choice voting.

What else would it be besides a game?

I think the idea is that the fish do NOT eat the plants that are being grown, so no significant buildup.

Hard drives are still useful for storing lots of data at a cheaper cost than SSDs!

Someone clearly doesn’t play Cities: Skylines with mods

My guess is that “lost” didn’t mean completely gone or destroyed, but “totaled” aka damaged to the point it would cost more to fix than to just buy a new car. But “totaled” cars can often be sold for scrap, or sold to be repaired to the point where they are at least drivable, even if certain systems don’t work or there’s a risk of issues (like mold or electrical problems) down the road. Which is apparently what happened here.

Hey, quite a few people bought Game Pass for a month to try out Cities: Skylines 2, because it was quite a lot cheaper than the game itself (and considering the poor state the game was released in, probably not much more than a month of replay value anyway)

Wait what’s the point of backporting to GTK2 then? And why should I as an end user care? Will it make the UI nicer?

What even is GTK2 and GTK3?

At least they’re all in regular GUIs instead of 1 GUI, 1 command prompt, and random configuration files hidden somewhere.

Nope, last Christmas I struggled to get Linux Mint to play a Steam game using Proton. Booting would lead to a crash, adding some flags would lead to the game being incredibly laggy. Mint had an option for proprietary drivers, but the game would crash regardless of the flags. In the end, turns out Mint was downloading the wrong drivers, and I had to manually download the correct ones from Nvidia’a website to finally get the game to work with average performance.

It took multiple hours of troubleshooting during my one Christmas vacation of the year. Meanwhile my brother, who had an identical laptop playing the same game on Windows, ran it flawlessly with great performance.

But with WiFi, you don’t have to pay extra for more data usage.

WiFi?

Because they care about your experience and want to ensure you’re getting the most out of your computer by suggesting helpful productivity apps?

Sounds like that driver needs to be hit by a blue shell

No, road design should be improved to make it comfortable and reasonable to follow the laws, and uncomfortable to break them. Think raised crosswalks that function as speed bumps at intersections, narrow roads to reduce speeding, that sort of thing.

Wait, that’s not a correctly formatted SSN!

Too bad it also blocks bus traffic. And it’s not like the buses have an alternative route.

Edit: in fact it’s worse for bus passengers as the Golden Gate Transit system relies heavily on timed transfers and many buses run once an hour, so even a 10 minute delay could cause bus passengers to miss their transfer and make them have to wait an hour.

Why not leave the defaults as-is? They’re probably set like that for a reason.
