We’re social creatures. The laugh track makes us feel like we’re in a social situation. I think different shows use this more or less cynically.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.ml•What is your favourite game with native Linux port?English
1·2 years agoFor DF: The free version had a Linux build for a long time. The paid version adds new graphics, and it took a while for that to get a Linux release.
For Minecraft: you should be able to play without an account if you’re single player and using a third party launcher. I almost exclusively play with friends.

15·2 years agoOff the top of my head: Half Life 2! OpenTTD, Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft.
Tangential fun fact:
Snake oil is a real thing, that actually helps with the some very specific problems. But it has to be made a specific way from a specific snake. We associate the term with scams because of the large number of scammers that advertised fake snake oils, or advertised it being useful for tons if things it wasn’t.
My point is, many of the most effective scams rely on something that has a kernel of truth.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•What do you do with Nazi memorabilia?English
20·2 years agoA craftsmen wouldn’t be damaging it, they’d be modifying it to make it more useful to you.
You’d like that, wouldn’t you?

Open Source@lemmy.ml•Is there any closed source android app that you wish had a good open source alternative?English
2·2 years agoYea, I’ve looked into how it works to see if I could add it to an existing app, but ran into a wall I can’t recall right now.
The local stops would be good, but what I really need is the ability to figure out new routes, like visiting a friend.

1·2 years agoOh, I’ll take a look at those plugins.

11·2 years agoIMO Obsidian is already a little rogue, in the sense that it only supports their sync. I know you can glue something together by syncing the folder itself, but that’s not convenient or the point. For now I’ll stick with Joplin because it works with nextcloud nicely.

6·2 years agoThe Transit app, used for bus/train route info and buying tickets. I imagine the ticket buying part would be difficult to OS, but I just want the live transit routing info. A few apps exist for other cities, but not mine. Worst part is Transit relies on Google Maps.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Don't you all get tired of the constant negativity?English
81·2 years agoOne thing I’ve tried to take to heart on lemmy: On reddit I nearly never posted articles. But here, I try to post any article I find interesting. I think with such a small space we’ve gotta be the change we see. Every time you read something worthwhile, try to remember to find somewhere to post it here.

Technology@lemmy.ml•Google Admits Its AI Overviews Search Feature Screwed UpEnglish
2·2 years agoIf Chromebooks are anything to go by, if google had their way you’d only be allowed to search prescreened questions they think are best for you. Can’t have you experiencing anything not advertiser friendly.

Gaming@lemmy.ml•'We have not confirmed any instance of Vanguard bricking anyone's hardware' following its League of Legends rollout, Riot says, but there are definitely problems for some playersEnglish
3·2 years agoYea this is a very worrisome denial.

Solarpunk technology@slrpnk.net•Lithium-free sodium batteries exit the lab and enter US productionEnglish
19·2 years agoAll good points. The main takeaway here should really be about what this particular breakthrough offers, which is an abundant, more environmentally-friendly source material that could be used to replaceLi-Ion in a lot of use cases. And maybe most/all uses with its own improvements over time.

54·2 years agoI did give it a knee-jerk reaction, true. I’ve since had my morning tea and am mostly just wondering what you get out of yelling at people on the internet. Not that I don’t occasionally do the same. Maybe I’m asking you to better understand myself.

59·2 years agoHonestly I looked at your comments and they’re all just aggressive, and I was genuinely wondering why. You’re not trying to share info, and you’re not trying to convince anyone of anything. What’s the point? Is this helpful to you? It just seems like you’re upsetting yourself.
EDIT: Actually, I take that back partially. You are sharing links. On my mobile app I only saw your comments, not your posts.

29·2 years agoI am home, and saying literally anything besides an insult isn’t “debate”. Are you just afraid of actual discussion? Why are you saying anything at all?















Skyrim has some mods that go really deep on magic and combat strats.
