No shade to my Ace friends intended. Totally possible to be horny for art or rock collecting or whatever. Doesn’t have to be a sexy thing. I’m horny for none of the above is totally valid.

The default should be “I’m horny” but unless I specify you have to guess who I’m horny for.

Debian + Containers is definitely the way. Literally so stable it’s boring.

Yeah this is one of those things where accessibility settings can probably get you 90% there but screenshots and machine learning can probably close the gap somewhat reliably (even if it’s much less efficient).

The more I learn about Valve culture the more I realize they definitely have teams just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks. I bet there are some really wild prototypes that we never get to see.

Running games at 800p targeting 40fps is a lot more viable than I would have expected just looking at the numbers. It looks great for a display that size and 40fps feels like it’s a lot closer to 60fps than it really is.

I get why people using it as their primary gaming device would want more power but as a secondary device for me it’s stellar.

If it was free and I just had to pay the subscription I’d think “Can’t my phone already do all this?”

Same here. I love DuckDNS but after the third DNS outage taking down all my services I migrated to Cloudflare and haven’t had a single problem since.

Newer Dell laptops I’ve worked on have them soldered on to the motherboard.

Everyone is stupid except for me.

Feels like this would be a bigger win for them than a lot of other companies. The people interested in privacy focused alternative to the Google/Microsoft/Apple offerings probably have a lot of overlap with Linux users.

People who buy these things to play whatever Windows-only anticheat games seem willing to put up with a lot of jank. The issues you’re describing were exactly the sort of things that made me initially skeptical that the Stand Deck could deliver. Valve really managed to pull off something that is quite stable and easy to use compared to other devices in the same category.

Half Orc Barbarian already gets you like 50% of the way there.

Some sort of bug or mod issue caused Lae’zel’s camp clothes and underwear to go missing by default so the first camp cutscene with her threatening Tav she is completely nude. It’s very intimidating. I thought it was a one off thing but it happened with two other characters too so now shamelessly nude Lae’zel is part of my head cannon for the game.

I imagine the other characters telling her to put some pants on and she’s just like “Chk! No, make me.”

I don’t really engage with the online mechanics in Elden Ring… Maybe I should? I’ve put hundreds of hours into the game otherwise. I rate and leave messages but I’ve never summoned help for co-op or invaded people except for Varre’s quest where I always just get obliterated by people who are way better prepared than me.

Backups need to be reliable and I just can’t rely on a community of volunteers or the availability of family to help.

So yeah I pay for S3 and/or a VPS. I consider it one of the few things worth it to pay a larger hosting company for.

I’m from the Midwest US and I know there are words and sounds I pronounce with a Midwestern accent but I can still type and spell them correctly.

If’n I typ lik dis den o’course people gonna think I hev the big dumb or that I’m a mole from a Redwall book.

Yeah the golden age of streaming has long passed. Now it’s an expensive, ad-ridden fragmented mess of data harvesting.

My default is to generate a 32 character password and store it in a password manager. Doesn’t matter to me how many characters it has since I’m just going to copy and paste it anyway.

Pretty surprising how many places enforce shorter passwords though… I had a bank that had a maximum character limit of 12. I don’t bank with them anymore. Short password limits is definitely is an indicator of bad underlying security practices.

I intentionally do not host my own git repos mostly because I need them to be available when my environment is having problems.

I make use of local runners for CI/CD though which is nice but git is one of the few things I need to not have to worry about.
