I mean you can always do it anyway and take away their ability to play those games. They will hate you for now, but later when they grow up, they will probably still hate you but a little less.

It just recently peaked at 50 million players lol. I hate the thing but it’s still very mainstream. Majority of my “normie” friends play it

There is literally a thread somewhere on my Lemmy I need to try and find just recently that shows this perfectly. Someone made a thread asking how they can self host their images for backup from their phone and naturally everyone pointed them to immich. And they immediately started complaining and bitching that they could not access it from outside their local network. Instead of asking how to fix that they were like what the hell is the point if I have to be on the same Wi-Fi this is stupid. And they basically did not want to engage with the people being like hey you need to either make a reverse proxy or open a port on your router. They should not be self hosting

You need to open a port on your router for it to be accessible from the outside world (example your phone on LTE or a different wifi) , this is not a limitation of the software but a security feature of your router

To be fair until very recently immich would have been a horrible recommendation for someone that is completely new to self hosting because almost every other update was a breaking change that required you to carefully read before updating.

And even if you tried if your installation was old enough eventually your compose file would Drift Away from what main line was and you basically had to seek the help of the developers to fix it up.

It only just recently released what is supposed to be the stable line that should hopefully no longer need these large breaking changes

IT consulting. No actual qualifications required. Most of them have no fucking idea what they are doing. They just make you buy the latest hardware from whatever the current “industry leader” of tech is for equipment.

If chess can be a mental sport there’s no way in hell that Starcraft isn’t. The mindgames and insane amount of instant control and choice making is crazy. Sure professional chess players attempt to go as quickly as possible but they could take their time if they wanted in Starcraft a fraction of a second can be the difference between winning or losing in a battle that you are controlling hundreds of variables

Meanwhile my costco milk seems to want to last a week+ past the date making me suspiciously sniff and sip it every time after the date

Land with a view is still available at possibly reasonable prices! You just have to be willing to be VEEEEEERY rural with the nearest tiny town being 30+ out and nearest real city 1hr+

I never said it wasn’t a counterpoint, I never said it was wrong, I was just responding to your feeling that it’s cluttered and unfocused. Those are the very aspects that make me enjoy it and are the reason I don’t really like gnome. Focused only works if you happen to agree with the focus that was chosen and I’m very glad that the chosen one of gnome works for you.

But that freedom flexibility that comes with the unfocused nature of plasma is exactly what makes me love it. You are correct that it is absolutely attempting to cater to Windows users in its default configuration the idea is for it to be a simple close to Windows default so that they can more easily acclimate themselves to a different operating system. It’s why it’s so often recommended to people who are switching trying to put them on gnome where literally nothing works like what they are used to is setting them up for failure in many cases.

But it then also gives you the power to customize once you are more comfortable to the point that you can just basically practically make a gnome workflow clone if you wanted. Or OSX, tiled, whatever you want really. But it is true that that means there’s no really unified workflow within plasma so I can see how it looks cluttered and unfocused

You really can’t glean the information just by looking at it if you’ve literally never seen one before in your life. It’s hard to Envision if you’re just used to it, like I said I was a little slow to read it but I still know how I’m just not used to it so it’s no longer instant . But I also can understand that if you’ve literally never seen one in your life and never had it mentioned to you you would really have no way to know what the difference between the big or the small hand was.

Now if you did sit and stare at it for long enough you could eventually figure it out as the hands moved but most people aren’t going to sit there and stare at a clock for 10min to try and figure it out.

At the end of the day even mundane things can be a skill, and I do agree that there is a substantial lack of critical thinking as the generations go on it was a problem already in my generation much less these latest ones. All That No Child Left Behind and standardized testing crap really destroyed schools hard it went from critical thinking to just memorize the answer or skip the question if you don’t know, asking questions became bad and unfortunately that’s going to follow you into adulthood

There is many reasons it happened but not being able to read analog clocks was not one of them. I’m sorry that it upsets you so much that I don’t agree but I feel like there’s a better way to express it than what you chose.

I genuinely don’t know where I would even find an analog clock anymore outside of school and I haven’t been in school for more than 20 years. genuinely do not remember the last time I’ve seen an analog clock, and I work in a lot of public government offices who are usually pretty far behind the times but even they use digital clocks. to the point that I just went to look had a picture of one and it actually takes me a second to read now.

I don’t understand why people are so obsessed on holding on to knowledge that is not relevant to your daily life, digital clocks are objectively better at the task of telling the time and it’s what exists everywhere in life now I don’t really fault anyone for not being able to read an analog.

If I had to Hazard a guess I guess it’s probably just a lack of empathy? Or maybe that’s not quite the correct word but inability to put yourself in another’s place. They can’t Envision someone not having knowledge that they have unless that person is stupid.

Gnome is either a you love it as it is or you just hate it there is no in between because there’s no customizability. I love KDE plasma because of all its million options that usually put gnome users off. I don’t want my desktop to be exactly like everyone else’s I have a particular way I want things laid out a particular spot I want options particular things I want shown particular things I don’t want shown.

The lack of notification app tray on gnome alone puts me off, the full screen app drawer is another. I don’t want that on my desktop it’s not a tablet. I don’t find it enjoyable to use on my large desktop screen with a mouse.

On KDE, if I don’t like something with the default configuration there’s a 95% chance that I can change it to something that I would like. On gnome i get to either pound sand or install an extension that will probably break on the next update.

And that’s fine we don’t have to agree with one another that’s the glory of Linux and user choice

Yeah I’ve been trying the avocado oil ones and I can’t notice any difference

The heck are you talking about. My tuft and needle mint WITH the added cost of extra pillows and a sheet set wasn’t even a full $2000 it’s one of the best mattresses I’ve ever seen in my life I’ve had it for like 5 years now and there’s still zero indication of any type of settling or imprinting on the foam, it’s the perfect mix of firm supportive but comfortable and shape fitting. And every time I’ve seen a bed more expensive than that it’s felt terrible and basically just been about buying the brand name or some stupid exotic material it’s made of

Make it an In&Out and I’ll support it

Honestly this is probably one of the few things that if anyone else was doing it I would be fine with. The White House is a disaster plenty of accounts can be had from people that have worked there of what poor State it’s in and how it’s basically unsalvageable. We keep the outside looking nice but it’s internal state was not great it was in need of a rebuild.

Problem is he’s probably going to just replace it with like a skyscraper or something

I mean technically so are repos to some extent. Many of them have very few maintainers and you are basically just blindly trusting that they won’t both miss anything malicious nor be the cause of it.

A little safer but not some ultimate Bastion of safety

I mean A middle school student should understand why this won’t work, so not much of an excuse
