  • August Recommendations Thread: What are you playing?

    Jump

  • Lately I've just been playing FTL & Stardew Valley on an old Linux machine.

    I intend on playing New Vegas soon, with the intention of finishing it before Fallout Season 2.

  • ISOs Explained + four programs to make Linux boot media

  • Jack Karlson, who shot to fame after ‘succulent Chinese meal’ arrest, dies aged 82

    Jump

  • I hope where he's going they have all the succulent Chinese meals he wants.

  • GoToSocial is a new ActivityPub social network server for the Fediverse

    Jump

  • Any platform that believes it should be their choice whether the user can opt-in to any part of the fediverse, is a big no from me.

  • Expensive school uniforms don't make kids better at maths, so why are schools so focused on them?

    Jump

  • Because public schools have to compete with private schools, the uniforms make them look comparable and has more of an effect on the parents perception of value of the school.

    Each public school gets funding dependant on enrolment, the end result is absurd pricing for single income parents. When I was in High School we could get a $7 shirt from Big W and look identical to other students minus the logo.

  • Lower Decks: Can anyone tell me what I'm missing?

  • I've only seen the cross-over episode on SNW, It's very much not my sense of humour but I'm happy for there to be more types of shows for more people, so long as I get my TNG style shows.

  • Is the government really trying to control your TV? Here's what its proposal on streaming apps means for you

    Jump

  • I'm still fine with it, but I assume this should apply to GoogleTV/FireTV devices.

  • Gabe Newell on why game delays are okay: 'Late is just for a little while. Suck is forever.'

    Jump

  • I'm sure they got better, but they never won me back, that original feeling of disappointment is still associated with the games for me.

  • Star Wars: The Old Republic getting Australian servers

    Jump

  • From what I understand, the game was recently moved to AWS, which makes regional servers significantly easier and cheaper.

    Now if only ESO could do the same..

  • What are your thoughts about SNW S02E08 [SPOILER]

    Jump

  • I see references of previous Starfleet officers such as Worf or Captain Sysco;

    With Worf the writers where careful to create a scenario where it was known and out in the open, that the only Federation law he broke was leaving the ship without authority, which he was officially reprimanded over. The actions he took on the Klingon vessel were considered lawful in and of itself.

    Captain Sysco's may be more relevant and example, but to me it felt more like a necessary decision for the benefit of future outcomes. To compare this to SNW S02E08, I don't feel they outlined that he was a future threat to anyone, that being said I am undecided on the Sysco comparison.

    I have also seen reference to Captain Picard's assimilation, but to me that one is not appropriate as it was against his will.

  • Max users grandfathered into $15.99 ad-free plan lose 4K, HDR next month

    Jump

  • That's how it should work, but many services have been increasing pricing with email warnings for the last decade.

    My friend has PS+ and it has multiplied in price for 3-month intervals without him ever confirming the new price. He's had it for a decade without touching it and genuinely wouldn't know he's being charged so much more than he agreed to if I didn't tell him.

    This is in Australia which normally has better protections for consumers, but it's possible we don't in this case as it's happened to me with every subscription I've ever had they send a n email and then start charging an amount I never agreed to.

    The only exception was AEW+ via Fite.tv which was in USD, that was the only time I ever lost my sub when the price changed, which given it went up +40% I was glad they handled it respectfully.

  • We did it!

    Jump

  • We would need Google to aggregate instances together for the benefit of search results, but the host instance is great to see.

    Maybe when Reddit removes indexer access, Google may put some effort towards replacing it, but I wouldn't give my hopes up waiting for Google Search to get better.

  • Looking for advice on monitor upgrade

    Jump

  • The laptop is a Dell G15 5515 Ryzen Edition 3050-4GB | 5600H | 16GB 3200Mhz

    The laptop has a 120Hz panel which is okay, but too small and awkward, I generally play on my mechanical keyboard in front of the monitor for better neck/joint support. I am happy with my overall setup, I would just like a full 120+ on the monitor and I have been watching HDR content scaled down via Plex to 8bit.
