It was nice to have someone take this stand and I fully support this. People switching over to Linux already have their own stuff to deal with and need time to accustom to their new environment, and forcing them to embibe ‘FOSS’ philosophy and other strong opinions as held by others in Linux communities is only going to turn them off.

I got my gaming rig recently and played all the releases up to Rogue only this year. I assure you my specs are modest enough and it’s just the game that is poorly optimised. Even Watchdogs 2 ran better than this.

Unity was the game I was most hyped for, especially because of its graphics and bigger maps. I even went to speedrun through the last three games to catch with the lore and begin playing it as soon as possible.

Alas, my PC couldn’t meet up with the heightened hardware requirements and I had to give up after barely finishing the tutorial with the awful frame rates even with the settings set to minimal.

A for effort

I am seeing this comment right after I finished ‘Life is Strange’…

On a completely unrelated note, I had a first glance at the thumbnail of this article and I was convinced the photo was taken in real life until I noticed the ‘cybernetic seam’ on the subject’s face. I almost couldn’t recognise this as an in-game screenshot and I already consider myself adept in recognising such images.

I need more blog posts like these…

Is it good to be engaged enough to be recognised in Lemmy? I don’t know if the big players around here are just spending their entire day on Lemmy as many people on Redditors do. There is a small part of me that too wishes to be recognized as an active member in this community but I don’t want it at the expense of my real life.

Man, it was miles better when I just knew him as the motion guy back in primary school

Though I know very little of enum and never used it before, I think this is what I needed. I couldnt imagine there would exist a type exactly for this purpose since I could consider adding or deprecating data later in time. I would need time understanding how I need to restructure the current JSON object to accomodate enums, but I think it will be worth it. Thanks for you time!

Ive heard about enums before, but I never really paid attention to them since I never got a need to use them in any of my projects till now. I think this is exactly what I need. Ill research more on it

Thank you so much for your help

TIL they show ads for guns. What exactly do they advertise?

Inside Job.

I didn’t really watch shows on Netflix and I couldn’t care less about people complaining about their shows being cancelled left and right. But Inside Job was recommended by my friend and I loved it. After finding out it was cancelled after 2 seasons, I finally understood the pain these people were feeling all along…

I’ve heard a lot about setting up a Plex or a Jellyfin server locally, but from what I can tell they are just media storage platforms and in order to watch anything you would have to add your own content. In this age of digital content, it is very unlikely for a simpleton like me to go out and purchase hundreds of movie disks separately and manually load them into my CD drive to even have a fraction of the catalogue these streaming services combined provide. Also torrenting really isn’t a viable option for me as I personally use a free tier Proton VPN which doesn’t allow P2P, and even if I did get a proper one, I would still be limited to availability of seeds for movies I want to watch, which may or may not exist depending on the popularity of the said movie. I currently use a niche streaming site to watch my movies without any issues. Are self hosted plex/jellyfin servers really for a person like me?
