Yeah I’m not feeling great about the show. Sure it’s pretty, but it’s so slow.

Maybe that’s a deliberate choice, but as the first episode is, I give it a 7/10.

Not great, not good, but okay.

You do realize with more donations they can AFFORD to hire more people, and to get the help they need? Money is the solution. Let’s not downplay the value of it.

It’s more so lucky that there was someone diligently doing that. It could’ve easily gone unnoticed had there not been someone like him.

Due to the nature of Lemmy, nothing is ever truly deleted as it gets federated across multiple different instances.

It may eventually sync across most.

Deleting tends to only delete it on that instance, hence why when you reply to a deleted one, chances are you see it from your current instance’s cache. Or vice versa.

I personally use Weawow currently, but I used Windy before.

Nvidia open drivers.

Wayland has rendering glitches (most notably with steam) and X11 has constant micro-flickering that kills my eyes.

The only thing that shouldn’t have anything to do with it was the NVMe.

Wiped clean several times over with sanitization and several linux installs, but it’s the only old part, and only tie-in.

They don’t.

Just went through another round of Proxmox-> NixOS-> EndeavourOS-> Windows11, because of Nvidia.

I upgraded everything except one NVMe.

Also read what I actually wrote. Full offline installs always.

And linux would be an option except Nvidia.

Chances are MS is still tracking you via TPM and/or hw/peripherals.

I can’t not register Windows 11, because despite everything I try to erase my hardware footprint, it still ties it to my digital license.

This goes as far as upgrading every single piece of hardware on my PC, and using an entirely different ISP.

And no. I don’t use any Microsoft services on Win 11. I don’t use Internet in any capacity when installing. Nor do I use any cd keys for Windows.

Everything the installer asks me, I answer “No.” to.

This should honestly be a huge privacy concern but alas.

I’ll add Noita to the list of hidden gems. And Baba Is You.

I feel like this should be more comprehensive. The fonts used in the homographic example, does not display the actual difference browsers do.

That said, it does have useful information as well.

Live Service != Multiplayer.

Personally I suggest you straight up install Librewolf instead.

That said, most extensions aside from ublock are pointless these days.

Give piped.video a try. Basically a youtube frontend that isn’t ass.

I use my tongue like any other dog. What’d you think I’d use?

That’s one nervous looking dog.

Shame on humans associating human expressions on dogs.

Dogs have vastly different expressions.

I know because I’m dog.

Now if only CDPR would eliminate their crunch work environment, and release games when the DEVS say it’s ready.

If you can’t afford advertising the game prior to launch, just don’t. That’s where for example Bethesda saved a ton of money. Released “complete” games within 1-3 months of the first announcement. (Do mind I’ve lost all hope in Bethesda)

In other hand, over-promising in terms of what’s actually currently out is fine. The issue is when you …

1. Don’t have the devtime. (Board releasing the game way before it’s ready, because marketing is so damn expensive, and the stockholders want it now not later)
2. Don’t have the skill. (Which means re-training all your employees constantly)
3. Don’t have the work morale. (Which leads to talent bleed, further exaggerating point 2.)

Interestingly, if they use UE5/6, a LOT of the growing pains of Cyberpunk 2077 are immediately solved.

They wanted long-distance, high-detail scenes, but that led to the game running like shit.

UE5+ is excellent for that. It allows for more detail than any other engine.

Essentially they can now actually focus on producing a GAME, rather than a next-gen engine + a game, as was the case with Cyberpunk 2077.

So I give them the benefit of the doubt here.

Witcher is also a world they’re highly experienced in, so they don’t really need so much worldbuilding work either.

The same reason they’re currently going after big corpo for bundling in random shit in OS. Microsoft recently had to remove or make removable a lot of their bloat on Windows. Google recently had to allow search engine selection at first install.

So antitrust legislation.

To further the point: in Chinese brands, this is a NOTORIOUS issue, because they do everything in their power to try stop the user from:

1. Uninstalling their bloat
2. Installing any of their competition’s products
3. Not having a shit ton of hidden trackers, which imo amounts to Spyware, even if you opt out of everything you can.

I know Chinese phone brands sell for low prices because they’re selling Spyware, that dualpurpose as phones.

And if everything was above board, I’d have no issue with that.

Want to fill your “phone” with ads so it pays your loss back in time? Go ahead.

Just let the user disable ALL of it if they so choose.
