Yeah… I wish I wasn’t as much of a sims fan as I am. Here’s hoping Paralives is good…

Yeah, with the way activity pub works it doesn’t pull the old info, it just gets new posts. I know you can usually take a link to a post and search it and it’ll pull, but Friendica didn’t get anything from one of the trail links, though friendica is picky

Hello Lemmy user Big French Bread AT Men Going Their Own Way Lemmy DOT Org, I think you might be doing a eugenics here. Maybe you should not do a eugenics in the future. We’ve made the discovery several times that it is Bad for Many Reasons, and thus should not be done.

If you find a site you like, you can put /feed at the end of the base URL and it’ll give the RSS feed about 40% of the time, since about 40% of sites use WordPress.

I have no direct recs aside that, just figured it was generally useful if anyone else posts a good site

404 Media has a full text RSS feed, but it’s paid-only

The Canary (assuming this is the right one) is here: https://www.thecanary.co/feed/

Poked around, there’s a demo instance with a demo account. Plugged it into Friendica, and it seems to pull the info.

Not sure where you are in the world, but 4tb drives are $80? Which like. $80 is a lot when you ain’t got it, but in computer terms it’s probably the cheapest part in the box

RAM’s expensive, storage has gotten pretty cheap, at least for HDDs.

This I’d, admittedly, a shaky memory from when Win10 was first released, but while you could disable the visible portions of Cortana, I remember being unable to disable the telemetry portion. Hell I remember a custom version of Win10 being built to remove all of the tracking stuff they put in it, I think RevOS was the name?

Admittedly I haven’t used Windows at all outside of work in almost 4 years, and even then it hadn’t been my primary OS for a few years, so memory’s fuzzy

Ehh… I’ve yet to get a virus from pirating games. Only virus I’ve ever gotten was on my childhood PC when my uncle was watching some sketchy adult content. I was just playing neopets at the time, so I doubt it was me

Kernel level anticheat is mostly in MMORPGs, which is my preferred genre, though there are some games without it. Notably Final Fantasy XIV, and Guild Wars 2 have no anticheat in the client at all. It also depends on the anticheat how much I’m willing to put up with it. XIGNCode is a hard no from me, but nprotect, and easyanticheat are both whatever IMO. Pick your threat model though.

The most complicated game is Wurm Online, and that’s because there’s something going on with my desktop where it just. Crashes. Constantly. I can usually get it to stay on indefinitely after 8 restarts, but it’s annoying.

Consoles are only future proof if you consider that eventually games will stop being released for them, and parts will stop being made. Sure you’ll be able to play the games you already own on them forever, but… Also your PC will be able to run any game on them forever, at least until the hardware degrades, but that also goes for consoles.

If you want to go fully no DRM, GOG is your best bet for most games. Itch.io is also there, but it’s mostly indie games, which isn’t everyone’s scene.

Overall I don’t think of it as complicated, but I’ve been PC gaming consistently for… 25 ish years? I’m largely used to it.

Honestly I assumed it was the people you’d share your bomb shelter with for a while.

I used to do a lot of pasta, but I stumbled upon a master recipe that works so damn well. It’s based on chicken rice, which is a dish seen… Basically everywhere? This is all by weight:

• 1 part meat
• 2 parts veggies
• 2 parts rice/pasta
• 5 parts water
• Season to taste

You only need 4 parts water, but I find the rice comes out better with 5.

I have yet to find a combination that tastes bad. Some things to try:

For jambalaya use half sausage, half chicken for the meat, then use a mix of onion+green bell pepper+celery for the veg. Brown the meat, throw the veg in until it’s soft, then throw the rice and water in.

Toast the rice first! Don’t wash it if you do or it won’t toast right. Oil in a pan over medium heat until the rice is brown.

Most commonly I use spam as the meat, since I don’t always have chicken on hand. Usually have to undersalt it for this.

Overall I use peas and carrots most for the veggies, since they come really small. Broccoli also works.

Use frozen veggies! They taste fine, they’re just as nutritious as fresh, and they save a lot of time

Season salt (any kind, I use Tony Chacheres) is an amazing thing.

If you want a side with it I usually do Greek yogurt+fruit. Ton of protein (helps keep you full longer, great if you can’t snack on the job), plus some fiber from the fruit. I use fruit canned in juice for it. Just strain the fruit first. A small can of fruit in a pound of yogurt is how much I do. Put it into containers and you’re done!

Given your sunny disposition, I’ll politely decline.

Two word horror story: Webdings mono

Most countries. The bigger concern is typically whether they can compell them to keep logs, which not all can. Sweden (I believe) is one where they can compell a company to share logs, but not keep logs

Depends on where it hits, really. Some places you die instantly, others you’ll suffer then die, others you’ll become personally disabled/have your personality entirely changed, and sometimes you’ll be fine after the recovery

I like it! Bookmarking for future reference, since it seems helpful. Only thing I’d noticed that I think would be a good addition: Some kind of XMPP client, at least one of them. I use Dino on desktop primarily (fairly modern UI, has the core features in, but is made for GNOME so looks a bit funky on anything else), but Kaidan, Pidgin, and a few others exist.

Crying isn’t inherently harmful, but if you suddenly start crying a lot more than usual it might be a reason to see either a doctor or a psych. It’s a symptom of stuff, but if you just cry a lot normally that’s fine

I was gonna make a comment about how it’s only base 60 up to a certain point because I was going to make a comment about how it’s only base 60 math, but since you can only go up to 99 minutes, it is just base 60 math but formatted in base 10 because fuck us I guess.

Whoever invented how we measure time was an asshole

Scurvy.

It’s easy to miss, and super easy to treat. Literally have heard of people going into the hospital for it, being given a glass of orange juice, and feeling better within minutes
