100%. When one of the cons is no meaningful protection against injury, a helmet should be a huge pro. It absolutely saves lives.

This comment is amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to lay it out for me. My weekend might be ruined by Minecraft on deck now!!

I tried to start playing mc on the deck but I don’t really understand how to make changes to the controller setup. I’ll have to sit down and read it properly and try again next time I get the urge.

I don’t know if @Hackerman_uwu is enough? I’m writing this comment to test it

Maybe !Hackerman_uwu@lemmy.world

Edit: nope neither of those work

The browser versions aren’t too awful, if that’s an option.

Makes you connectable. If you don’t forward ports for your torrent client you can only connect to peers who are port forwarding, meaning you will download and upload more slowly in most cases.

I’m on /all constantly, and I agree with you. People are fine. I don’t really know where people get the idea to post these things. I think they might browse all, see a bunch of posts from /antiwork, or /fuckcars, or /aboringdystopia, or /linuxmemes, and then complain that they only see those things. It’s probably confirmation bias, and if they used frontpage instead and actually followed spaces they were interested in they wouldn’t have these problems.

To me, it’s like complaining about sex at an orgy. The point of the platform, and reddit, and most other forms of social media, is to curate a feed that suits you. If you don’t do that, it isn’t the platforms fault if it then doesn’t suit you.

You might know this already, but try emailing the primary authors directly and asking for a copy, it’s often the easiest way to get them if you haven’t got any other way to access.

Citrus & coffee is a fantastic combo. My go to in summer is espresso, ice water and a hefty squeeze of lemon. Super refreshing, and a nice amount of sweetness without being too syrupy (or too unhealthy).

Yep - Italian cappuccino has no chocolate foam and the variation is the amount of milk. All of them, including the flat white, use steamed milk with variations on the foam by how it’s been steamed (i.e. introducing a lot of foam or next to none).

The colours are in the wrong order on others, like the Bicerin

Same here. Occasionally served with liqueur, something like Kahlua or Bailey’s.

Eh, I know plenty of developers glued to the apple ecosystem who could probably have a lot of fun with it if they were able to. They just don’t rate it as important enough to counteract the things they like about the ecosystem.

See, you know Reddit is packed with bots when that shitty repost has 6000 upvotes and “does this sub don’t have mods” has 129.

My doctor gave me four months to live.

We’ll see in a year, lol

I’ve got a pretty good mixture of qualifications and am working in a tech adjacent role so I’m not starting from nothing. I have some decent connections and might be able to carve out something at my current org. So it could be worse.

Reddit death > installing mint on my second PC > realising I can run most of the games I play and installing mint on my main PC > start learning Rust as a first foray into programming in a long time > realise I want to go back to uni and study info tech to get out of my shitty marketing job > get a shitty second hand laptop off my parents that struggles to run windows and install endeavourOS to try something different.

It really is a slippery slope. When does it end???

I thought Apex Legends added aim assist for PC controller users some time ago? Could be misremembering.

If Linux based handhelds keep getting more popular for gaming, to the point where they represent 5 or 10% or even more of the PC gaming market share, I feel like incompatible anticheats could spell the death of some games when competitors come up that are compatible with the platform.

I don’t expect league of legends to die as a result of this and only this but surely it’s a possibility. From the time I used to play league, I never really seemed to encounter any cheaters (or at least not enough to notice it) over hundreds of hours played. I really don’t see the value proposition to adding it, where I can understand it more in a FPS/TPS.

Of course it’s just as likely, if not more so, that the deck and similar platforms are just a phase, or that a windows based handheld takes the market by storm.
