I agree that societally we should get over it, but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s an awkward activity on a first date

This. The who point is to cram more seats than they are currently able

While I understand the sentiment, if they switch to SteamOS as a primary focus, what’s the problem with buying someone else’s handheld that’s built to run SteamOS? There are already handhelds more performant than the Steam Deck out there, once they have official SteamOS support what’s the difference? Don’t get me wrong, I’ve actually bought an absurd number of Steam Decks so far for myself and for friends/family, but once they die, if there’s no Steam Deck 2, I’ll probably just pick up a handheld that is built specifically to run SteamOS

I’m all for all-gender bathrooms, but there MUST be at least two public bathrooms at any given spot. I can’t tell you how uncomfortable it is to take a first date to a museum, both need to use the bathroom, and walk into the single, silent, all-gender bathroom, and try to pretend you can’t hear each other doing your business. I assume gay folks have been struggling with this since the beginning, but y’all should have said something

Right but just because you personally didn’t like it doesn’t mean it isn’t a good comedy. I understand that you are now saying it’s not something you personally care for, but your original comment was stating that it being bad was objectively true. Like, I can say that I think The Simpsons is a bad comedy, and I could provide a bunch of data to back it up but I can’t say that The Simpsons is a bad comedy, because how did it get to 36 seasons in counting if people weren’t enjoying it?

I pay for the streaming services, but don’t stream. Maybe this is me trying to justify “theft”, but how I like to think about it is this: I pay for the streaming services. I have the technical know-how to either download directly or rip (screen record) any shows I want from any of the popular services, as well as to write the scripts myself to roughly automate this. I also have spare computers to do this 24/7. However, it’s actually better for the streaming service that I don’t do this myself, since they still get my money without me using the bandwidth. I pay for AMC Stubs A-list but don’t often see the movies in theaters, so I don’t feel bad pirating new releases. As for movies/shows not on streaming services, I could buy used dvd/blurays, rip them myself, then sell them back, but that would ultimately result in a near-net-zero cost anyway, so what’s the point of going through all that? In my mind, as long as I’m paying for these subscriptions pirating feels like it’s no longer an ethical/moral gray area.

Note that I only do this because I can afford to. When I was younger, I would pirate everything without worrying because if I couldn’t afford to pay the streaming service, they didn’t lose a potential customer if I pirated anyway. Now that I am better off and would definitely be paying for these subscriptions, I might as well, but still get to own the content I’m paying for. 120TB and counting!

For those with preexisting lifetime memberships, things haven’t changed yet (outside of basically trying to make Plex a social media thing), but in my eyes it’s only a matter of time. Made the switch to Jellyfin this week after having used Plex for 5 years. If I wanted to invite new users to join my server, they’d have to pay $2 a month to be able to watch on their phone instead of the one-time payment of $5.

I’ve always had to manually add my GPU to system monitor, and since I’ve always had integrated GPU as well, had to sort out which GPU is the dedicated GPU before knowing what service is using which GPU. But this definitely is my favorite method once I get it all set up, makes it really clear if a steam game is using the wrong GPU

Same, solid black on my PC, rocking the default wallpaper on my phone. Interestingly, when I switched to using graphineOS, the default background is solid black, so I have that on my phone now as well, too. I prefer it for the less visual distraction, and the fact that on pled screens it saves battery

I find that I can watch 3 hours of content before I am fatigued, so 3 hour long episodes, 6 half hour episodes, or 9 20 minute episodes. I binge a lot of anime, but that’s because they have 20 minute episodes so I can fit a lot into the three hours that I watch. But typically I only watch one episode of TV per day, with Fridays being my exception where I’ll binge the three hours, basically front-loadimg my weekend so I don’t feel like watching TV on days that I need to do chores/want to work on hobbies. I like to stay up to date on cultural references, which often come from new media, and while I really do enjoy watching TV, I hope someday I’ll get over my FOMO and stop feeling a need to keep up on the latest shows.

But I will never pay for a streaming service, it’s a pirate’s life for me

My comment was more for offering an option for connection that worked for me without any custom/hacky drivers. Despite my distro of choice, I hate gatekeeping and really dislike the folks you are referring to who like to pretend they were never a beginner. However, one of the lines you posted is generally good advice, which is to file a bug report for problems you are encountering that aren’t documented. Not only will it potentially get you help, but will hopefully prevent your issue from being experienced by other users. Submitting bug reports is scary because people who maintain Linux projects can be rude to beginners, but I recommend just posting your best effort at a bug report, and usually someone will walk you through how to get the additional information needed to make your bug report proper.

Ah, yeah. I don’t even think MacOS supports the dongle, Microsoft has that pretty locked down. All modern wireless controllers should support Bluetooth connection so you could use that instead, a simple usb bluetooth dongle is pretty cheap. Just make sure to plug the dongle into a USB 2.0 port, bluetooth dongles will work considerably worse in USB 3.0+ ports. And if you’re rocking a 360 controller or older (where bluetooth isn’t a guarentee) I don’t think xone is the driver you want to be using, instead use xpad-noone.

I didn’t recognize them at first, but the title having MHA in it made me realize who they were supposed to be

There are only ~3000 billionaires in the world. It wouldn’t take many like-minded folks to remove them from this world

The characters are from an anime, My Hero Academia. The girl on the left has frog super powers (long tongue, sticky feet, etc.) It appears as though the one on the right is holding a fishbowl with a half-human half-tadpole hybrid baby, implying the characters birthed the abomination.

Weird, I use arch (btw) and a generic Bluetooth driver and have had zero issues with my wireless Xbox controller… Never needed xbox-specific packages

Still can brother 🏴‍☠️

Been on Plex for years, I will be fully migrated to Jellyfin by the end of the week

I mean, he’s a retired guy with new hobby, it wouldn’t seem too out of the question that he spent a good chunk of time following tutorials for things that have plenty of tutorials out there.

THEY REALLY CALLED IT PEE NUT BUTT TURD?
