Playing a "backup" on my Switch.

I'm doing my part.

Fuck yeah Oregon. Let's keep this rolling. Where's my 2026 ballot measure?

Can confirm. Skinny numetal kid in my teens, too many kitchen and bar jobs in my 20's and now mid 40's on Zoloft and apparently old goth dads are on the menu.

Cheers man. May the well never run dry.

Just moved down to Oregon from the Seattle area a few years ago and have a Mach-E.

Similar setup to the other poster here. 50a installed at home. We plug in at night and have charging set to 80% and synced with the local utility to prefer off hours. Price wise, we're spending about $60 a month compared to the $200+ we'd spend on previous ICE vehicles. Combined with solar on the roof, it's been a pretty good value. Not a net zero for sure but overall good.

If there's a long trip planned, we over ride settings to 100%. There's a ton of 300kwh chargers along I5 (0%-90% in 20 or so minutes every 3-4 hours). We've driven from Seattle to LA with no trouble a few times. Takes a little bit more planning but not too much of an issue.

It's a fantastic option at this point. I've been a GeForce Now user since 15 or 16 (whenever they launched the ShieldTV beta) and it's.... ok? You can still run it on deck as well of there's any concern.

Worth considering he could also use GeForce now while saving for a Steam Deck. Used ones go on sale for under $300 pretty frequently.

This is peak gamer. I am in awe.

If we could start deplatforming extremist rhetoric online that would be a huge boon against these types of things.

I haven't been near anybody Meta's platforms for a decade at least. Sounds like it is still a shit hole of "content" designer and curated to push consumption down peoples throats. No wonder it's still called a feed...

Have you tried being more in to US Politics, Linux and Privacy? I've found several very vibrant communities for those here.

As a shitter on the shitter I vote the name stays.

I'll take that to Matrix and my grave. 🤣

 

Another article that highlighs inherent flaws in the American legal system. How can this potentially be an actual lawsuit? How can "journalists" even entertain reporting on this?

Honestly I'm just posting to laugh at my fellow lemmings responses and watch see how the plaintiff is roasted for not gitting gud.

But, there is a real conversation here around continued ignorance of game development and the value of difficult games as a value proposition. Afterall, the person attempting to sue from did choose to purchase the games willingly knowing they're not for scrub casuals like themselves.

What do you all think, is difficulty gating content a real issue? Should dev's have some kind of legal requirement to appease players that can spec a build properly? Is it Thursday and I'm just looking for some easy laughs at a morons expense?

 

So I decided to jump into some call of duty whatever the most current one is now that it's free on game pass.

The first two matches I was spawned into were on shipment. A map that I remember being absolute trash back in the day but it still is. The third match it went to put me in dropped me into that same map as well so I quit before it finished loading. Following this it dumped me into a match in progress where my team was behind by 25 points and there was 12 kills left before it was over.

My question is, why do players seem to vote for this map over any other option most of the time? What is the fun or enjoyment that I am missing out on this box of spam? It's literally nothing but spawn killing and spawn dying.

If you are a person that enjoys these, can you legitimately explain why? I'm not trying to make a troll complaint or anything. Just genuinely interested.

Is this what the modern call of duty experience is like?

LAN bypass on Linux (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) by vulgarcynic@sh.itjust.works to c/protonprivacy@lemmy.world
 

Hi all,

Is there a conf change I can make to bypass local address filtering with ProtonVPN on Linux? When I attempt to access NFS and SMB shares on LAN they fail to connect with Proton active.

Thanks!
