Their coffee sucks, but their tea lattes are some of the better ones. Admittedly probably due to the sugar, but I only tea out as a treat anyway. But that’s why I used to go.
- Comment on Logging In Was Never Supposed to Be This Complicated 5 days ago:
These drive me up the wall. If you email me a signin code at login and offer a password reset by email, then the password is cosmetic. Just get rid of it ffs.
- Comment on What are some cool/decent PC games that are not on Steam? 2 weeks ago:
Sauerbraten is always worth a mention for me. It’s a quake style open source shooter with built-in mapping tools. Definitely a little dated but the game still feels more responsive and fun than a lot of other games today. I think I would really enjoy tinkering with it if I was still a teenager.
- Comment on Capital of Estonia after a visit from Swedish football fans 4 weeks ago:
It never seems to be a great time for the surrounding infrastructure when a huge amount of people congregate, but it really does feel like sports events bring the worst…
- Comment on What am I doing wrong with Linux/NAS permissions? 4 weeks ago:
That sounds promising, I’ll take a look at it.
- Comment on What am I doing wrong with Linux/NAS permissions? 4 weeks ago:
I see. I’ve heard of umask but skipped over it since it still allows permissions to become out of sync in the directories, hence my falling back on cron jobs. It would help though, but my personal user acting in this directory would still create files as my_user:my_group, even if I am part of the media_group. Does that mean I am doomed to go into CLI and
chown :media_groupeverytime I copy a movie into my movie directory? - Submitted 4 weeks ago to [deleted] | 10 comments

That is what they said.
- Comment on Drop OSS - an open-source, self-hosted alternative to platforms like Steam and Epic. 5 weeks ago:
I used it on Windows and remember a save backup section in game options, but it was a fully manual setup for every game.
- Comment on Nvidia finally reveals what controls devs actually have for DLSS 5, and don't worry folks, there are TWO main sliders to control the AI filter 5 weeks ago:
It’s also worth noting that game devs will be able to mask different objects in a game scene, changing the structural and tone intensities for each independently. Devs might, for instance, want to give some background objects the full DLSS 5 makeover but keep a lighter touch with the characters.
This is about the only vaguely useful part of it. Just disable it for charcter faces. That said, why even use this garbage in the first place I don’t know.
- Comment on Xbox Backward Compatibility on PC 5 weeks ago:
When I saw the title I got excited for some kind of way you could actually use the old disks in your PC… but this is fine too I guess, if a lot less inspiring.
- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 1 month ago:
you can always wait, these games aren’t going anywhere
Until they shut down the eshop as usual.
- Comment on How often is normal to masturbate? 1 month ago:
20s male. Generally once per day but I find it’s easier and easier to forget and I sometimes go a week without thinking about it. I rarely if ever do 2. I’ve gotta cool down for 20 minutes between, which gives a lot of time to realise I should be doing something else.
- Comment on If Steam were to shut down tomorrow how much money would you have lost in total on games / DLC ?? 1 month ago:
Aah, that’s a bit hard to calculate due to Steam keys from bundles and other websites. Running some rough numbers it looks to be about $2600 CAD over 15 years, so… not too bad?
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 2 months ago:
Unfortunately you may be holding onto that Xbox because I was damn near dead on Image
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 2 months ago:
Probably quite a lot lol. But was the Steam Machine going to make senss for pre-existing PC owners at the OG price either? Ever since their announcement I’ve been convinced that it’s targeted towards newbies getting into the scene as a good enough “just buy this one” kinda deal. Or maybe as a TV box for people with a good desktop already.
I was assuming $1000 CAD originally for the Machine, I’m gonna throw out a guess for funsies here of $1600 CAD now. So a bundle might be 1700. Total conjecture but I want it in writing if I’m accurate lol.
- Comment on Valve’s Steam Controller stock shortage will last until next year after fans massively exceeded expectations 2 months ago:
I have been assuming they had stock set aside for some kind of Machine + Controller bundle.
- Comment on Epic Games unveils Launcher V2 in re-attempt to topple Steam, says redesigned storefront is up to 6.5x faster — promises player profiles, user reviews, universal controller support, and much more 2 months ago:
Will this be like the v1 roadmap where they continuously delayed many features until they gave up and privated the entire Trello board?
- Comment on How tf do people who work 8-5 M-F get any life done? 2 months ago:
Use up vacation days. Yes, really.

This explains some of my US geography confusion over the years…
- Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 3 months ago:
I think you may overestimate how many people build their PCs instead of buying a prebuilt.
- Comment on Is there a software method to "rotate" music around my head? 5 months ago:
They seem to mean rotating the sound, not balancing the L and R. Imagine laying on your back. An airplane rolls overhead on the soundtrack. It sounds like it’s coming from your headboard rather than the sky, because your head is flat. The OP wants the sound to still be in the sky, essentially rotating the soundscape forwards 90 degrees.
- Comment on I am not even close to MN but this banger is going on my playlist. 6 months ago:
Your comment is irrelevant to the parent. They said nothing about AI morality but asked:
How can you tell the difference between real and AI? Seriously asking no sarcasm
And you responded with, essentially, “AI sucks”. Which I agree with, but save it for when they actually say anything to the contrary.
- Comment on Hytale is OUT NOW in early access! 7 months ago:
A little ironic to post this on a game inspired by Minecraft, the most prolific example of an early access model working out.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge is getting a Copilot-inspired redesign 7 months ago:
So, did we forget to post a link or is Lemmy really at the point that a random unofficial image is a source of information?
I searched it and found a Verge article that appears to be the source of this image.
What a nothing article though. The logo design I am pretty sure is a Verge artistic interpretation, with the actual changes being updating UI elements to share a similar language with the Copilot app, which just so happens to look like every other modern interface and very similar to the base Windows 11 design. The biggest change being a ChatGPT/Copilot-esque newtab search bar.

How does it lower the rep of LTT? They dropped Honey years ago after they realised how it works.

Best suggestion in this thread! Trackmania Forever slapped when I had a low powered machine.

Thank you for so bravely speaking on behalf of all artists.
- Comment on Are people buying refurb pcs just to strip out the DDR 4 ram with the current price hikes on new ram? 8 months ago:
Depends. The price of the same DDR4 kit I bought earlier this year are now 4x what they were.
