• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Settings you believe ANY game should have? (This is me advocating for a restart/reboot button on ALL games)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s a simple guide one. On PC, a lot of games let you use the keyboard/mouse or a controller. On some games it’ll switch the prompts to the layout of the last type of input you used. However I tend to use a controller for everything, except I’ll use a mouse for more fine tuned control since I suck at aiming with a joystick. But then what happens is the input notifications switch to keyboard/mouse and sometimes don’t switch back.

  I’d love to see an option to force which input style gets displayed on screen. Keyboard/Controller/Auto

  I was so bummed to learn that pumpkin spice doesn’t contain any pumpkin in it and instead it’s what you use to season pumpkin pies.

  I read “She was 26” and kept trying to figure out that math because I didn’t like the answer I was coming up with. Turns out it’s just my reading comprehension that wasn’t working out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Regulations restricting pay disclosure?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The phrasing makes it sound like there’s a regulation preventing disclosure so they can’t post in states where a law says otherwise.

  All three instances I have accounts on use CF. I was beginning to think it was my client I was using or they suddenly implemented the “Great Firewall of USA” and figured out a way to block Lemmy instances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a realistic, low-power home server setup in 2025 for Plex/Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and reliable backups?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is something where I’ve focused more on a NAS form factor since it’s always the drive bays that get you. I’ve looked at Ugreen and Synology as well as a BYO set up. In all cases their software (or TrueNAS or Unraid) is capable of cloud backups and they also support containers for anything else you want to run with more than enough horsepower.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I can only find an artist on streaming platforms and no other search hits, does that most likely mean it's an AI generated artist?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny you ask that. They almost sound procedural, however that could also be indicative of an average artist. Since I tend to list to house/lounge/downtempo, it can start to feel like that.

  I mean that’s a lot of info for the notification bar. But it is all available without 3rd party utilities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just that extra bit of rage⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  see signal-to-noise…

  You can still do that. It’s called a “field test”. From your phone app dial

  *3001#12345#*
  

  And it’ll bring up a menu of all that information. I used to use it a lot back in the Nokia 2G days and it’s still around.

  My issue though isn’t signal strength to the tower. That is good and would show as much. My issue ends up from the tower to the telco is so saturated you can’t get anything effective. It’s like being connected to your WiFi, but your gateway is offline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just that extra bit of rage⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I freaking hate that with cell networks. It shows I have a good signal, which is fine between the tower and myself. But the backhaul is so saturated your packets aren’t going anywhere.

  It’s the year 2039… Thames Water once again asks for permission to continue polluting on the basis of “we’ve been doing it for the past 15 years, we should be able to continue indefinitely”

  If they had actually come out with the single player DLC for GTA5, I’d be more inclined to get 6 near launch. But the only way I’ll get it is if reviews show that the single player story and world are legit as-is, because i don’t trust them to add anything later.

  Human speech is between about 130-300Hz, so even with a lower poling rate it can pick it up. And assuming she sound like a mosquito, it’ll pick things up.

  And it gets even better. Instead of up to 33% leaving, say 50% of that group convert to Premium instead of Ultimate. That isn’t any lost revenue since the price is going up to what Ultimate used to be. So that cushions their numbers even more.
