If you read the article you find that he didn’t actually sell furniture, he got people on Facebook marketplace to pay him money for the privilege of collecting free furniture from Craigslist. It’s a really shitty scheme

Looking at RPCS3, it seems like most PS3 games wouldn’t run well on PS5 without dedicated, PS3-like hardware.

I have never ever managed to scratch a disc to the point where it became unusable. Neither have I ever had problems when buying used discs. I agree about the speed though; at this point my internet speed surpasses the speed with which games are installed from a disc

Oh yeah their efforts are definitely a huge net benefit for the Linux community, I just don’t like seeing big companies portrayed in a better light than they deserve. When it comes down to it, what valve really cares about is still their bottom line.

Playing at 4k+ resolutions, the difference between a well implemented quality DLSS and native ranges from barely distinguishable to objectively better because DLSS is also great anti aliasing. And even if you really need native resolution, DLAA is almost always better than any other anti aliasing method. Before DLSS 2 came out you might have had a point, but now I simply disagree with your statement.

Proton is based on wine, which is copyleft so valve didn’t exactly have a choice in keeping it open source. I also don’t necessarily think that their goal was to reach the rather small existing user base of Linux users, but rather they wanted to make sure they aren’t at the will of a bigger company (Microsoft) whose product is/was required to run most of what valve makes money with.

You know people can harass women or be dicks to their coworkers/subordinates and not be transphobic, right? Also, as of 2022, about 65 people work at Linus tech tips. Saying “Everyone was cool with it and endorsed it” is a bit of a broad statement to make.

I last used a chromium based browser more than 5 years ago. Recently I bought myself a tablet and had to make the difficult decision to switch to the kiwi browser there just because Mozilla can’t be bothered to include tabs for their tablet layout.

I wasn’t the one writing the comment.

They were talking about the reviews featured in the article. Did you read it?

You should try to hit each muscle group at least 2 times per week. In your instance this means you should switch to full body workouts rather than doing an upper/lower split. So try focusing on compound/multi-joint movements rather than isolating individual muscle groups because otherwise your workouts will take a long time. I always try to include horizontal pushing and pulling as well as vertical pushing and pulling (so bench press, OHP, some kind of row, pull ups) and you could possibly get away with a single leg exercise so e.g. do deadlifts/squats on alternating days.

Yeah but you could easily replace it with e.g. stealing/pirating all volumes of the encyclopaedia Britannica to make the joke work even better

Lactic acid build up and DOMS are not correlated. This is a myth that has been debunked. As for why your legs were not sore, I don’t know what could cause that if you did the same amount of the same exercises at the same intensity as usual.

Just so you see it, on android at least I can recommend drip which is open source and also keeps your data local. It’s available on fdroid: https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.drip/

What’s the issue with those TLDs?

I don’t agree with this. People have different abilities/talents that mean that certain things are in fact easier for some than for others. By thinking that everything is just hard work, people may work themselves to death trying to achieve proficiency in an area that they just aren’t particularly suited for.

At the gym the rowing machines were always my least hated cardio machine. The exercise bikes there don’t do cycling any justice because you obviously don’t get a sense of speed

Yeah it’s a new EU rule. I can’t find that info on amazon though, maybe they still have time to implement it?

Have you tried cycling for cardio? I used to be just like you but riding a bike fast is such an enjoyable experience to me that I forget I am doing cardio in the first place.

I was going to say the same thing. With cycling, you get an immediate reward for your spent effort because riding fast just feels really fun. So I find myself wanting to put as much energy in as possible.
