Live and learn. We all want people to be running the best technology out there, but when someone is struggling with a problem, it doesn't come across as helpful to suggest switching to something else completely without just reason why it would solve their specific problem.

I'll level with you, it comes off as oblivious with a touch of arrogance. Its the same energy in the Mac vs windows arguments. What would help would be explaining why you believe podman would be a better solution to OPs problem.

Better watch out sherriff coming for you next

Because that's not what OP asked.

Satisfactory is a model train simulator, prove me wrong.

Also plug for !satisfactory@lemmy.world

Not true, because anyone else can spin up their own instance and see them too. Nothing is private here, on purpose.

Everything on Lemmy should be considered open and readable.

Oh but your mom/grandma loved this scene. Hahahaha oh Gibbs so smart, just unplug the computer dummy dummies!

Reality: They're both frantically typing on separate machines trying to figure put who is downloading their data, and are trying to lock the account they got access to.

Gibbs: Unplugs their computers

McGee: uh, what the hell boss, you know they're in our servers, our infra, tearing through erasing data, why would you think that they're hacking on our local workstations?! You do know you just killed our access, right? Now no one's trying to stop them! Kindly leave the room, we'll need to have a full escalation and postmortem, unfortunately now I'll need to involve our entire chain of command.

Good, this is what I was hoping for, especially with demand for AI datacenters shrinking. I hope Micron hates themselves for killing off Crucial when this happens

I'll concede there, sports gaming and sports gaming are very overlapping venn diagrams

What?? I'm genuinely confused, I got an email that said they were ending it, I'll try to dig it up

What an odd statement. Xbox is in direct competition with porn and crypto? Do they know any of those things? Do they think people are just like "hm, 60 dollars. I could game, buy porn, or crypto. Hmmmmmm"

Anything to avoid looking inward. Their IPs have empty corporate souls because they're made by souless corporate entities. Halo, Gears, Starfield, all shallow empty stories, and gamers are tired of it.

Of course they don't have souls so they assume gamers don't either. Couldn't be that were gaming to enjoy a story or feel something deeply, no we're literally debating on gambling or video games. Jesus Christ so out of touch.

A researcher known as "Nightmare-Eclipse" recently released YellowKey, a security vulnerability that allegedly enables a full bypass of BitLocker's full-volume encryption. The researcher described YellowKey as one of the most "insane" flaws they have ever encountered and has also accused Microsoft of potentially embedding a legitimate backdoor in BitLocker's data protection system.

To no-one's surprise

 

This is a great rundown of the phenomenon of the triangle of Ethical Media Consumption, Virtue Signalling, and what the author has coined "Virtue Mirroring".

 

I'm using the default messaging app on e/OS and it doesn't support emoji responses. Not sure if this is a de-Google limitation or if other apps do have it. If so, any recommendations on basic SMS apps?

 

I was annoyed enough to write all of this up. I used to go regularly, and the rewards program was genuinely a good deal, and made it worth going to Starbucks. Now, even if I set aside all of the horrible things they're doing, I wanted to show just what an absolute shit program this is, and why there is absolutely no use in trying to "gain starbucks status".

 

We have another event that invites people over to our side!

 

Currently I have random docs/how-tos for my network stored in a forgejo repo, just a bunch of READMEs. I'd like to somehow make that a bit more official, I like writing it in markdown/git and having source control, but was wondering if anyone has a good wiki tool they like that can consume that and make it more hostable? Thanks!

 

Dave & I don't always agree, but this was a good video. Admitting Windows coddles it's users too much, showing why Windows lost it's hardcore audience, and what it would take to win any of us back. (Not that that's likely, but what it would take)

 

Has anyone else noticed this, across the fediverse, Lemmy specifically. A lot of new users, but also a lot of first posts that are very inflammatory/rage baity.

Do we have another legit influx of new users? Or do we just have some bad actors trying to stir the pot? Or maybe I'm imagining it.

 

Totally not related to another post in this community...

What fearmongering do you find laughably wrong? What do you witness everyday that makes others clutch their pearls while watching the news?

 

Hey all, I'm hoping this is simple one of you have seen. I have Jellyfin media player installed on bazzite, I use it through gaming mode. Most of the time, but some audio tracks are silent and won't play unless I force transcoding.

They are usually DTS or DTS:MA. Do I need to install drivers somehow? Or flip a setting? I'm fine with transcoding audio, but I want to avoid transcoding video.

I am plugged into an Onkyo receiver via HDMI, so it should be able to play most of those.

Thanks!
