Clairvoidance

i'll admit, it would probably be healthier if you guys could move on now
like sure, keep posting about reddit stuff for the next month, there's probably relevant stuff to talk about, but there's no reason to obsess over spez this bad

as a sidenote, really hate how you need to tie either a google or facebook account to make a definition on this site

My main needs are gaming

Most gaming needs, you'll have to check protondb to see if you'd be comfortable not being able to play certain games. (games not on steam, you can look to Lutris for community made installers)
While Gold and Silver means games require slight setup (setup is usually explained by user-reports), Platinum means you're good out of the box, Borked means no chance, you especially want to watch out if your game has an Anti-Cheat (and read the latest user-reports on the game if you're truly desperate to see if things changed in the last week, like sometimes something like Gundam Evolution quietly enables the linux option in EasyAntiCheat)
If you have a steamaccount, you can log in to get the list of games that you already own on that account to easily see their ratings

Guides are straightforward, you just have to worry about whether you have nvidia or amd

browser stuff

no issues

god CODEX please come back

I'm sorry for the level of discourse I'm about to engage in, but Zuckerberg knows Jiujitsu, I think if Musk had any actual training in any skillful way of fighting we would've seen it - the dude probably knows Zuckerberg knows jiujitsu, maybe he was just hoping that he would ignore the challenge? lmao

[Musk] has talked about being in “real hard-core street fights"

dude's gonna break his back if he doesnt back out last minute

I mean idk shit she says just sound like such elaborate troll-shit, it sounds like someone's having fun with it.
literally "it came to me in a dream"

you're thinking of EMPRESS
Definitely presented as out of spite

Some people speculate that this is the cover-up persona to hide that they're actually a team with people who have worked on Denuvo themselves, and it certainly sounds more believable than this single woman managing to crack Denuvo in 14 days when every other cracker still in the business can't.
(but also some people are truly insane who knows)

if you're saying that I'm engaging in a strawman, I am deriving at this based off of OP, which is before you entered the conversation, and noone was assigning this opinion to you, but it's definitely a thing I've encountered in the wilds myself, so I felt I could see what OP meant with their message

It is probably an indirect criticism of the "just make better decisions and you'll be rich" mentality that generally tries to put rich people on a pedestal for being geniuses who 'figured it out' and 'read between the lines' to get on top

I really like Trilium Notes as a Joplin/Obsidian alternative!
I don't know if this really is as harmful an enshiftification as we've come to expect from other projects, it mainly seems to be allowing you to have a "patreon" or "gumroad" type project tied to your actual community. There's an argument that the centralization is harmful in the long run when everything goes belly-up but this move in a vacuum seems like a logical next step for Discord itself

It's short for federated universe.

yeah I mean, we know that.

Yeah, also love the band to be honest 😂... but sure, if it was said in context of a social media networks convesation, I'd get what you're trying to say... or at least ask "not the band, right", lol 😂.

~~it was deadass on /r/technology~~ my bad /r/worldnews when people were talking about twitter alternatives
I don't even know why I got so many upvotes considering nobody ever corrected them

Patlabor, specifically "Patlabor ON TELEVISION" and "Patlabor New Files" (sometimes called New OVA) are takes place in a very comfy near-future environment and is about a group of policemembers who are under the division for dealing with any mech incidents, meaning giant robot fights will happen in a very down-to-earth setting

I also recommend the movies if you enjoy the GITS movie as it's the same director and he likes exploring a various amount of social commentary, from criticism of institutional inefficiency to existential reflections, (just dont watch the 3rd movie, it has nothing to do with anyone who made the original Patlabor)

There's also the original Patlabor OVA, but I personally didn't enjoy that nearly as much as the tv anime, and some of the characters act a little different, so it might be jarring if you watch that before the tv anime despite it being chronologically made first

I feel like I'm going to refer to these places as ActivityPub in the future because I feel like kbin, lemmy, and beehaw sound a bit silly.
Fediverse also sounds like it gets the wrong idea across to a regular person ("does it have to do with 'the feds'?")
I personally like Mastodon, but last time I namedropped it, people were like "ohh, I love that band"
I feel like we're in a naming crisis haha
