…oh.

This post is supremely stupid then.

I’m confused. What is anti-work in relation to gaming?

The link just seems to point to a list of steam curators who talk like middle schoolers in lieu of a review.

This post is baffling to me.

Polymarket disaster?? Is this related to the top shortage I’ve heard about?

They shoulda learned how too make a fun game!

“…And so what we focus on, we want to give players a good story.”

HA!

I got a '21 VW Golf and, similarly, it’s physical controls for everything I really want and touch screen for the GPS/media center. I can still change volume and tracks with physical buttons on the steering wheel, so that’s all fine.

Kinda miss the Civic. I love the hatchback on the golf and it is a delight to drive, but I think it’s like half a ton heavier than the Civic and that’s not as nice. Still gets phenomenal milage tho

I have some. They really suck ass. You can muddle through but it’s not really an ideal solution.

I got 3 (Volume rocker and power) and it feels like plenty.

It’s been so long since I had more than 3 and I’m curious. I had an iPhone for work, that had a 4th, the home button on the bottom center of the touch screen and I hated that. What do you want from physical buttons on the phone?

Thank fuck. So glad I managed to dodge the cars with all touch screen controls. I got one as a loaner after my Civic was totaled in an accident (Thank u for buying me a new car, uninsured, out-of-state white supremacist with a truck too big for any reasonable use!) and it used the touch screen to control the climate control! I had to look away from the road to change the heating!

Just stupid.

Give me simple buttons and knobs I can feel and fix. Capacitives, touch screens, all that nonsense should stick to phones.

I’m okay with the phone being a touch screen. The rest can go back to normal.

GenAI in its current state seems hard set on ruining the wealth of information we’ve collected and put on the internet.

These LLM recipes are a serious problem, they’re incredibly frustrating to encounter and getting more annoying to avoid. At this stage, if it’s not on a site I already trust, it’s more guidelines and concept than a recipe proper, since you can’t be sure a human has even tried making this thing yet.

I thought that too, at least when I was trying all this on my Pi Zero 2 W but I think the 5 is x64 innit?

I take on projects on my weeks off, tho, so maybe I’ll set up a dual boot during my Q1 week off and take it from there.

That’s true and it makes sense.

But the frequency of issues requiring extra work is far higher with Linux than Windows, in my experience, and it’s often a much longer process to fix with Linux.

With Linux, I often run into issues that I’ll patiently tinker with for hours, but eventually run into a wall, resolve to address another day. And I’ll learn a lot about computers along the way! That’s fine and even fun when it’s my self-hosted recipe app (which apparently simply cannot run on a Raspberry Pi except for all the people who said they got it working on their machine yet their solutions don’t work on mine), but it’s far more frustrating when it’s an application for something more basic like music or video playback, word processing or spreadsheets or internet browsing.

Of course all the same kind of problems can occur on a Windows machine, but, at least in my life, it happens less than once a year as opposed to Linux where it seems to happen once per “new thing” I try to do. Some day I’ll do it. But right now, Windows 10 “just works” in a way that’s more valuable.

Hm I hadn’t considered that. I’m also using a small work laptop here.

Lmao tbf this is on a work computer where I don’t have that kind of control.

I still have 10 on the home PC and I get closer and closer to installing Linux on it every time I tinker with my raspberry pi. That said, I fear the same issues will come up. The second something doesn’t work right, I’m gonna have to turn to hunting down forum posts with issues similar to mine but slightly different and randomly applying fixes I don’t truly understand until something works. Not that this is all that dissimilar to when windows 10 breaks, but that happens far less often than it does with the Linux distros I’ve used.

Then comes the concern that I won’t be able to find drivers for the hardware I have, or if I upgrade hardware that it’ll be much harder to get drivers for newer stuff… I’d love to ditch Microsoft, but Linux, while much better than a decade ago, is still a shlep to use

The fucking calendar doesn’t show a whole month at once and instead a rolling 4 week selection of dates with the current week at the top. It’s fucking infuriating and while I can’t find a setting to switch to change that, I can change AM/PM to other custom abbreviations. No idea who that’s for but hey ho whatever Microsoft

Edit: I keep posting variations on this complaint hoping someone will eventually respond to the tune of “you’re a fucking moron, this is how you fix this” but it hasn’t happened yet, so that leads me to believe that it’s an actual fucking problem with the calendar module which blows my mind.

Have you tried opening it up? Replacing the controller elements is pretty easy. The board is well laid out and everything is clearly labeled. Even replacing the thumbsticks is a piece of cake.

I don’t agree. I think shutting down places that promote bigotry and slurs is good.

If they just want to run a minecraft server, they easily can. They just can’t also use that as a place to promote hatred and bigotry.

What you’re making is a slippery slope argument that doesn’t really hold water.

Ngl, whenever “libertarians” get their hackles up about needing a right to “free speech”, I always suspect they mean bigotry and slurs.
