bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in A friend offer me a investment opportunity at 15% annually, is it too good to be true ?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Get it in writing.

But yeah, it’s sketchy as fuck. If he could guarantee that ROI he could just go to a bank.

If you can afford to lose the money and maybe tolerate a lengthy trial go for it. Personally I couldn’t.

Without exaggeration I have had to download a zipped tar, that contained a rar split into ~100 parts, which contained an iso which contained a custom installer that extracted the compressed game files.

Seems to be overkill.

With an unpacked release I can pick and choose what to download, if it’s on a newer patch level I can just point it at an existing folder and it will just download the difference. And of course I don’t have to jump through the stupid installation hoops.

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Real people also sometimes do stupid shit that seems to go against their nature. I’d keep playing. You could make your regret inform all your future decisions.

bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in What's something you'd like to leave behind in the old year and not carry into the new year?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Long Covid.

Being woken up by fireworks wasn’t conducive of healing, though.

bjoern_tantau, (edited ) to linux in What's with all these hip filesystems and how are they different?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

I’ve started using BTRFS on my laptop with OpenSUSE and on my Steam Deck. It does two things for me, which I’m interested in. On OpenSUSE it does a snapshot before every system update. So if anything goes wrong I can easily roll back.

On the Steam Deck I love the deduplication. It’s really great for a ton of Windows games that all need their own little “Windows” environment which amounts to a GB or two per game. With BTRFS I only use that space once.

bjoern_tantau, to linux in Why more PC gaming handhelds should ditch Windows for SteamOS
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

The next Ayaneo handheld is going to use SteamOS.

bjoern_tantau, to mildlyinteresting in Banks in Hong Kong can print their own money. There are 8 different designs in circulation.

bjoern_tantau, to asklemmy in What’s your favorite fantasy universe and why?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Before Disney it used to be Star Wars because it has so much potential for any kind of story. You can go super science fictiony without encountering any kind of fantasy elements. You can have a western type setting, dystopia, magic, drama, comedy, any weird combination of them all.

@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Padmé losing more and more of her clothes in AotC always reminds me of Sigourney Weaver going through the same in Galaxy Quest. I’m convinced GL was subtly referencing that.

bjoern_tantau, to linuxmemes in Completely untrue nowadays...
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

OSX and Linux both use the Common Unix Printing System. It works more or less the same on both systems.

I wanted to say that nobody in their right mind would take these seriously. But then I remembered the general state of mind of people.

bjoern_tantau, to linux in What has been your experience with Flatpak?
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Well, Flatseal is using flatpak’s standard way of managing permissions. Everything it does you can also do from the command line with flatpak. It’s just a frontend.

I think KDE wants to add these options to it’s settings as well. That will be great, when it’s better integrated into the whole system.

bjoern_tantau, to starwarsmemes in Not the brightest kyber crystal in the light saber.
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Well, technically Cliegg bought 3PO when he bought Shmi. So in a roundabout way the funds of Owen’s family went twice to acquiring 3PO.

Three times if you factor in the costs of however Anakin acquired the parts.

And then Owen’s moody half-brother and his rich girlfriend just stole the droid.

When the first screenshots of Windows Vista were released my friends were commenting how it looks just like my Linux.
