Yeah, I’m kind of seeing it as three different options. The first is that whatever they were traveling on that crashed had these things, the other’s like you said - it was sent with arrive too late, or #3 they’re dumb and didn’t notice that all the boxes floating around were exactly what they need. Very unclear

This is becoming a trend and I really don’t like it.

It was awful prior. The netcode was terrible, MP was a joke on virtually every game.

Blame alphabet, meta, and all of their contemporaries for making the Internet shitty and unusable. SEO strategies are one of the worst things to ever happen to the Internet.

You’re just being racist and try to make it sound like a tech issue. No amount of appealing to a rose-tinted memory of what the Internet used to be is going to obfuscate that.

Is the app itself ready for prime time yet? Can I use it daily? I live in a small but major city.

Because I am too lazy to make an actual thread on mastodon I’m going to corner you and ask you a quick question if you don’t mind! Feel free to ignore haha.

I’ve recently dipped my toes in Linux and it’s been really fun learning about all of it, but I still haven’t really settled on an OS. Rather than trying to reinvent the wheel or trying to predict everything, I decided to use what I have right in front of me: my steamdeck! I figured playing around on SteamOS in desktop mode is a great way to acclimate myself to Linux a little bit and figure out what I really like and such.

What are some essential programs and QOL things you would recommend? I am interested in trying to host my Plex server off of it, maybe even fiddle around with video editing since that’s what I do professionally (resolve runs on Linux so not worried there), maybe some audio tools. I just want to kind of see what it would look like as a daily driver, though I am very aware that Steam OS has limitations as one.

I’m coming from Mac and I am pretty comfortable doing terminal commands, troubleshooting tech issues, and I’m pretty privacy concerned. Hence why I’m trying to migrate a little bit away for macOS potentially haha. Any and all suggestions are welcome! Even just good website or resources for learning more would be very welcome.

Choo Choo Charles intensifies

Are movie and show file sizes more efficient than they were years ago?

This may be a stupid question, but I just got back into pirating some shows and movies and realize that many of the QxR files are much smaller than what I downloaded in the past. Is it likely that I am sacrificing a noticeable amount of quality if I replace my files with the smaller QxR ones?...

I really didn’t get it! When I got my GH5 I was pumped to do 10bit 422 h.265. Really wanted to see the latitude we could get at that compression. Premiere and FCPX in particular for like 5 years went “lol no.”

    Claim is wrong, disregard.

    If you love piracy you should consider voting/joining your local Pirate Party (pp-international.net)

    From wikipedia: “Pirate Party is a label adopted by political parties around the world. Pirate parties support civil rights, direct democracy (including e-democracy) or alternatively participation in government, reform of copyright and patent laws to make them more flexible and open to encourage innovation and creativity, use...

    Totally. Just saying I’d need to see the language lol

    Yeah, I think a little friendly “competition” can be healthy, but it often turns into outright dismissal of other fields/ideas and needless cutting down because they view others as a threat. Someone else’s success undermines their own, that sort of thing. That is not productive and can even be damaging.

    Andor was excellent. I was burnt out on Star Wars but buddy insisted. It’s well worth the watch.

    I’m concerned at the number of people who boot new OS’s without backing up their computer.

    why aren't r/piratedgames here? I thought they migrated to lemmy too

    Not to start a war, but I think the place here is better for free discussion of games piracy. the lemmy community they site on their subreddit is literally dead, has just one or two posts. It would have been good if a rival community to r/piratedgames appears here on dbzer0 too, I mean r/piracy is still there, but this place is...

    Accusing someone of being and/or defending a child predator (or stance) is a serious, potentially life ruining action. Without context I can’t assume it was warranted or that you were unfairly banned given our current social discourse where people flippantly call people “pedos.”

    Point is we only have your side and no clue what was actually said. Just something to consider.

    It is an unbelievably massive, multi-billion dollar industry that is rapidly growing in the US right now. A number of states have relaxed their laws about online gambling and sports books, we are going to see a whole new generation of addicts. Every single fraternity at American universities has a point person at this stage. Many did prior they just did it on the sly.

    Caesars Sportsbook just bought the sponsorship for the NFL stadium out from Mercedes in my city. You cannot go a quarter-mile without seeing a billboard about it. YouTube is flooded with it if it detects I’m in my home state. It’s relentless now. And if it’s not Caesar’s palace bombing me with ads, it’s draft kings.

    Let me ask you this: should I find a Tom and Jerry depiction of somebody dying of lung cancer in their final moments funny?

    I just don’t see the comedy here. It’s overlaying a cartoon over tragedy. But because (I’m assuming) there is little sympathy for a mother who drinks and thus impacts their child, it’s suddenly acceptable and funny because it’s appropriately judgmental.

    Edit: I think you should reframe this as “people find this joke tasteless.“ I find being tasteless different from being offensive. I don’t get offended by 9/11 jokes. But I’ve definitely heard a couple that I found tasteless. Though some people rightfully find it offensive as well - would you share this meme with someone who suffered a miscarriage or has experienced/been around FAS in some capacity? Would you knowingly share it with a NICU nurse?
