Can confirm, I tried doing exfat for a Steam install on an external drive, and it just didn't work at all. Ext4 and btrfs both have simlinks (although simlinks in btrfs are kinda weird) and work with Steam and emulation. Ext4 is the tried and true stable filesystem, and btrfs supports more modern features. I've always prefered stability to bleeding edge, so I use ext4, but it really is up to personal preference and what you need.

I always like to pose this analogy for that argument. You get to choose 1 option:
a) die in a painful fire,
b) die in your sleep, or
c) catch a cold.

Two scenarios result in death (one is beter than the other), the third you live. (c) is obviously the best option, but politicians use the rhetoric of "if you vote for (c), what if the (a) voters win and you die a painful death?!" Obviously, everyone wants option (c), but then they buy into the political rhetoric, and everyone dies in their sleep as a result. They could have had the choice to live if everyone just picked (c) initially instead of second guessing.

Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost. -John Quincy Adams

Maybe instead of voting red vote... for the actual Libertarian party? Libertarian ≠ RightWing/Red

Reminds me of the German Baroque composer Johann Gambolputty de von Ausfern-schplenden-schlitter-crasscrenbon-fried-digger-dingle-dangle-dongle-dungle-burstein-von-knacker-thrasher-apple-banger-horowitz-ticolensic-grander-knotty-spelltinkle-grandlich-grumblemeyer-spelterwasser-kurstlich-himbleeisen-bahnwagen-gutenabend-bitte-ein-nürnburger-bratwustle-gerspurten-mitzweimache-luber-hundsfut-gumberaber-shönendanker-kalbsfleisch-mittler-aucher von Hautkopft of Ulm

I wrote/played an instrumental for my mom and she didn't like it, despite it being high quality and well practiced. Not in a mean way or anything, I just don't think it's a good gift in retrospect and it wasn't her thing. And if you generate it with AI, it might seem effortless/cheap on top of that.

Everyone is different, but I think people like having something in their hands, like a work of art, or a written letter, while a song is more abstract than that.

I personally use Lemmy for 2 things really, tech/foss/privacy news & discussion, and as a social media replacement (memes). When I used to be on the crappy socials, I would only really use them for memes, and left when I started to care more about privacy rights. The very first community I followed was 196 when they migrated away from reddit, so it was essentially what I came here for initially, and then found that the whole platform was miles better for discussion as well.

I love doing this in my TRPGs. Nine out of ten times an event was memorable was because of a horrible failure rather than a successful win. My table eats it up. I wish more games did this too

A lot of people are surprised that pizza places don't use gloves, but the health depatment only requires them with ready to eat (RTE) foods, (think salads, fresh fruit, etc) or with already cooked products. Pizzas are usually cooked around 800°F (425°C) so any bacterial contaminants on the food before cooking are obliterated in the oven

Yesterday's Muse is one of my favorite bookstores! I wasn't in Rochester for too long but I got to stop by there. So cozy and they have a lot of stuff to look at. I specifically remember finding a biography about Teddy Roosevelt there, which was published in 1904 when he was president.

Seal on FDroid has a download playlist option. It works on everything I've thrown at it
