Can’t we ever have software that just keeps working? Password managers are like the new RSS readers.

1. search around for a good one
2. find a nice one and start using it
3. they add stuff you didn’t want and slowly make it worse
4. they’re bought up/ abandoned/ otherwise become unviable

Interesting! I did not know any of this. Sort of confirms my impression which I should have framed differently: the other candidates are so niche that the rest of the world has no clue

This thread mostly shows how broken the democratic system in the US is, not that she did anything wrong. Try coming to a real democracy with many parties and coalitions being formed. They actually thrive on dissent, finding compromise and collaborating for the greater good ;)

I’d totally be fine with a rough “tier list” to start with. I know there are 2d games that are quite demanding, especially badly optimized indie games. And I think half life 2 can basically run on a potato despite still looking decent. So simply judging by how fancy it looks probably isn’t always going to work.

One of the reasons the tech nerd in me is against some of the fancy modern e-bikes like Cowboy. And the silly wireless shifter stuff. But the tech is cool!

The only thing I realize and accept I won’t repair myself are hydraulic brakes and wheel truing. At least I understand the mechanism, I just think someone with more experience should do it. Everything else on a bike should be simple enough to fix with the right (cheap-ish) tool, an hour or so of time and a good manual.

This sounds like a great way for me to have fun!

… by fiddling for hours to get crazy mods running to then never play the game 😂

Thank you to all! I was aware of what bazzite is but this might be relevant for some lurkers. I am indeed mostly interested in what my hardware can do. I don’t game enough to warrant a hardware upgrade right now. Once I do want to upgrade it would be good to see “what should I go for to be guaranteed a good experience on the more modern games I am curious about”. My desktop is aging and I might go laptop-only at some point and live without the latest AAA games, there’s a huge back catalog!

My daily driver was 6.06 up to 8.x I think. Only had minor encounters with it since. And here I am still fooling myself into thinking „I’m pretty familiar with Ubuntu“ 😅

Thanks! This is very useful! Now, if this functionality could be combined with the UI of ProtonDB … 🤔

This is a great resource but tells me nothing about whether or not I’m likely to have a good experience on my device.

In Copenhagen there are a lot of options for street charging. Yes, it might be more expensive than a private charger, but overall prices have come down quite a bit. And then again, if you insist on the luxury of owning a car in the city, you can afford that

I’m skilled with IT stuff (I guess many are on here) but have plenty of that at work and a highly varying degree of time for such things based on what’s happening in life. I guess the more handheld something is the more I fear it might break when I absolutely don’t have time or mental capacity to deal with it. I’m getting quite comfy with how well the Synology works. It’s kind of weird there isn’t a “pay up and just extend the synology into the cloud automagically” - it all sounds adding more possible failure sources.

Do they have any bundle offers like Apple One? It really adds up quickly. I’m honestly hoping for some Black Friday deals that reduce the cost for whatever I end up choosing.

Actually have Jellyfin running on the NAS and am starting to get back into “in-home streaming” - but I also want to maybe stream a show while traveling.

So far the NAS is not reachable from the internet and knowing how many threats lurk out there I’m sort of happy with that. I still want to do backups as well es find photos when I’m e.g. visiting family or simply traveling.

This is why it’s so important to support independent news outlets. E.g. Kyiv Independent in Ukraine or Zetland in Denmark. I’m fine paying for independent journalism that’s really well made. But not for copy-pasted propaganda.

Saw them at a hotel not too long ago and immediately talked about how matte black faucets would be awesome at home.

Wait, you can’t watch porn in Texas? 😂

Sort of. It’s definitely worse since Covid with the majority of “local” events being online either way. And where I live now it’s much quieter than where I used to live.

We were sad to realize we’d need a car (dog, kid, family and friends in unpractical locations) but we made sure to buy a used electric car instead of just any cheap used car. I mean we put a child in this world, we shouldn’t fuck it up more than absolutely necessary.
