When I used Windows I mainly bought on Gog for the DRM-free aspect. Now that I’ve switched to Linux almost completely, I find Steam’s software for running Windows games on Linux to be just about the most seamless and easy to use, compared to other stuff I’ve tried like Lutris and Heroic Games Launcher.

Currently on day 2 of a nasty hangover. Sipping calpis to stay cool. Back to work tomorrow. Ugh

I use SDF and I’m happy with it but his second point is that the instance should defederate/not tolerate Nazis, which SDF doesn’t fit the bill

Yeah it wouldn’t bother me so much if any of it was actually useful, but they all just read like a lazy student padding out the page count on a college paper

I searched for a comparison between two USB flash drive brands and the top result waffled for multiple paragraphs about the history and definition of “flash memory” before finally recommending: “just get whichever one has the best performance in your price range”. Gee, thanks AI.

It’s tough because I almost feel like I need a whitelist at this point. 90% of the first page of Google results usually read like AI-generated fluff that doesn’t actually even answer my question. There are a handful of websites I trust now to give me real information and not just clickbait SEO nonsense.

I’m at the point where I add “reddit” to the end of every search just to try and find something that was written by a real person. Maybe someday I can start adding “lemmy” instead.

Growing up, whenever I was sick with an upset stomach, my mom would give me 7up to drink. I dunno, I guess she figured the carbonation would help? Now decades later 7up still reminds me of the taste of vomit.

Yeah it’s not that I think they’re above this kind of petty bullshit, but I don’t get why they’d go “fuck this guy in particular”.

That said, even if the guy admitted to running the world’s biggest pirate ring, screw them anyway

I feel like a bit of a hypocrite, because I’ll complain about almost every aspect of this game until I’m blue in the face, but I still put like 200+ hours into it. Same for Skyrim actually.

basically yeah, maybe it’s not as funny as calling them “Xporn” but I don’t see why only picture subs need to have juvenile meme names

it’s not too bad when it’s a silly one-off thing like “foodporn” but by the time we go full Reddit and get to “animal porn” then we’ve clearly gone too far

So dumb. There’s already a c/foodporn but hopefully it stops there.

Most places are getting better about accepting cards but if I’m going out drinking then we’ve always paid with cash.

I just always carry bills on me. I’ve never felt unsafe or anything here, so it doesn’t bother me too much.
