Moghul,

I remember playing with a wire controlled car when I was about 3. It was a battery powered f1 style red car and it had yellow bumper wheels on the corners to allow it to not get stuck when it hit a wall. It had a ‘remote’ that was connected to the car by a short cable. It had 2 buttons, one to go forwards and one to go backwards. It could go straight backwards but it would go in a circle forwards. It had been a gift from my aunt and uncle and my father stepped on it to break it because it bothered him.

Second memory, I’m walking into the yard on a summer evening. I open the gate, look up, and then towards the entrance door. The fence is green but the paint is chipping because it crumbles under my fingers. The sky is all sunset colors; blue, purple, orange, and the sun is blocked by the great big apricot tree between the house and the garage.

Moghul,

Greed and incompetence

Moghul,

The message seems to give you at least what it thinks the solution to the problem is:

apt install nvidia-driver-libs:i386

Moghul,

They did. I just ignore funko pops

Moghul,

I had a whole thing written out but I just don’t feel like arguing about this

Moghul,

I empathize with the feeling of living a simpler, happier life, but living like a hobbit would suck for a lot of us.

Indoor plumbing, sewage, electricity and internet, are all way more important to the kind of people who are on this site than they might expect. In addition to that, if you’ve never lived in the countryside, rural living and basic peasant subsistence farming is fucking awful. You are constantly working maintenance and rebuilding damaged property. You’re always dirty, smelly, and tired.

Moghul,

To my knowledge, hobbit holes have none of those amenities. You can make one of these in a city or suburb if you can get the permit, it’ll just be a strange looking house. That’s not how I interpreted the post.

Moghul,

My mom refuses to watch anything remotely ‘scary’ so she hadn’t seen Lord of the Rings. I managed to trick her into watching the first movie by watching a vlog of some people visiting the hobbit holes in New Zealand.

She loved it. She didn’t like the orcs and the balrog, and the fighting, but she loved the story, all the beautiful nature, the lighthearted nature of the hobbits, all that good beautiful stuff. We saw each of the three movies on a different day and she was the one who asked to see each of the sequels. It was nice to share one of my favorite things with her.

My favorite new movie I saw this year was Dune. It was the first movie I’ve seen in a long while that made me go “Was that it? Where’s the rest of it? That can’t be all there is. I want more!” needless to say I’ll be seeing the sequel in the cinema. I loved the books and I loved the movie too.

Moghul,

Gorgeous work!

Moghul,

There are various trade agreements and partnerships between the EU and US, some of which are more beneficial to one or the other. It’s very common for countries to do this kind of thing to each other, but it’s usually a quid pro quo situation.

Moghul,

The US is going to pressure the EU into loosening regulations for US based tech companies which will result in a return to some, and the advancement of other anti-consumer practices.

Moghul,

Sure hope not

Moghul,

Potentially, yeah. Not gonna disagree

Moghul,

I don’t use them and wouldn’t use them. I like food, and would rather cut into other things’ time to cook and eat.

I generally have a pretty negative opinion of the idea of “replacing meals” with soilent-esque products. I understand the various reasons people use these, and don’t blame them, but to me it’s treating a symptom rather than the problems that cause it.

Moghul,

ITT: People getting mad for saying a 3 generations, 4 year old low end gpu is the issue

Moghul,

Can’t speak about the rest but

C2077 ran like a slog at best, if it even started, so I never bothered again.

Works fine on my 3070. Actually worked on release too. I’m on medium-high graphics 60fps in 4k.

Moghul,

I mean, then it’s not really linux, is it?

As for the card, I bought it before it became apparent how overpriced it was, and it was a major upgrade from my second hand 970 anyway. And I didn’t splurge, I saved and bought what I thought made sense for me, when I could’ve ‘splurged’ on a 3080.

Moghul, (edited )

What games are you trying? Off the top of my head, I’ve played monster hunter world, hunt showdown, cyberpunk 2077, baldur’s gate 3, norman reedus and the funky fetus, elden ring, deep rock galactic, doom (the new ones), apex, the dark souls games, warframe, and a few more over the years.

Moghul,

When you switch proton versions, it might be a good idea to delete the prefix directory. I find that helps.

Moghul,

Thanks for the update bro!

Moghul,

Isn’t our sun too small to explode at all? IIRC the sun will expand enough to engulf the earth’s orbit but will eventually shrink to a dwarf.

Does AI-generated art posted on lemmy bother you?

I find that i can spot AI Images fairly easily these days, especially the sort of fantastical tableaus that get posted to the various AI communities around lemmy. I’m tired of seeing them; it all looks the same to me. Was wondering if im being too sensitive, or if other people are similarly bored of the constant unimaginative...

Moghul,

No, but I dislike the trends. I don’t want 8 pictures of sailor moon or axolotls doing various jobs or depicted as various characters. One is fine.

Moghul,

I miss beyblades…

Moghul,

That was it for me, thanks
