The reputational damage has already been done and people still haven’t moved to a better and more sustainable solution, so why would they back down now?

No clue, I’m not on discord, just trying to be helpful

For info:

Group voice calls

They’re testing that right now. It’s going well.

A server system that is separated from DMs/group chats, at least visually

Spaces.

Roles within those servers to manage people’s access

Spaces can do that.

Legcord’s fake nitro is free.

GOG. The for-profit company that’s soliciting donations under its “GOG Patrons” scheme.

5000 people literally giving a for-profit company money, and GOG couldn’t pay a graphic design apprentice to draw an abstract banner?

Does anyone know if there’s a game/mode/mod/whatever similar to Applied Energistics 2? It was a really cool take on storage and autocrafting that I’d love to play around more with.

TSA was bad enough. Even if you’re white.

I’m sorry for her loss and I don’t blame her in the slightest.

I wouldn’t go to that country if you paid me. I like being alive, thanks.

I bought one game on Epic, once.

It didn’t work.

I contacted them for a refund.

I never received a reply.

Lesson learned.

I’m looking forward to Palword Legends Y-X

I thought everyone had heard this meme by now.

I edited my post to add the source.

To spell this out clearly, the reason RAM has quadrupled in price is that a huge quantity of RAM that hasn’t been produced yet has been bought with money that doesn’t exist to populate GPUs that also haven’t been produced to go in datacenters that haven’t been built powered by infrastructure that may never exist to meet a demand that doesn’t exist at all to make profit margins that mathematically can’t exist while economists talk about this thing they call the “rational markets hypothesis”.

I’ve literally never heard it with a -m before. Usually it’s just “tada”. :)

What the heck is a ta-da-m? It sounds like some kind of exotic medication 🤭

Anyway, how is your sex life?

I really enjoyed FFXIV for a few months a couple of years back (my character there is still my profile picture here) but I really prefer to own my games now. I can go back and play Skyrim any time I want to, but if I want to boot up FFXIV I have to either make a new trial account or basically buy it again, and after a month, I’ll be back in exactly the same position.

Lemmy is part of the fediverse.

Also if your toots are trapped in your butt, you should probably see a pharmacist, there’s medication that can help with that. /j

Thank you so much for the offer! I already own that game, so that’s really not necessary. Thank you again. :)

I’m guessing I didn’t win. That’s okay! I hope whoever got the key enjoys it. Thank you so much for doing this, have a very happy new year :)

WWE 2K25 please!

One point to consider: using Windows 7 after its end date was popular. Using Windows 8/8.1 after its end date was not.

“Balatro’s fun, but if only the cards were more realistic, it’d be a much better game” said nobody ever

You’re mistaken. I use Graphene because it’s the least-bad option currently available to me. And I definitely don’t do so gladly. My next phone will likely be Ubuntu Touch or some other variety of Linux phone.

Don’t assume. It makes an “ass” out of “u”.

I don’t want more fucking AI baked into my operating system. I just want a computer that works in a way I can deal with, then gets out of my way.

It’s nowhere near that simple. Not even close. Even forming a limited company or LLP is more than “an Excel sheet” and that’s before you even start the due diligence process. Unless you wanna go the sole trader route, in which case good luck with the whole “unlimited personal liability” thing.

Sure if you pay for the lawyers and accountants necessary to form a cooperative

All those Counter Strike skins, too…

Sadly I don’t wear costumes, so I don’t think GOG is for me.

Oh well that’s alright then.

One other point: if you just want to dabble, you don’t actually need to install Linux. Many (if not most) Linux distributions can be booted from a USB drive as what they call a “Live USB”.

Here’s how to do it for Ubuntu: https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

The process is similar for other distros. I tried several this way before I decided to install one that I really liked.

I’m just glad you have an up-to-date OS that works for you and that you enjoy. :)

What’s stopping you?

Edit: Not trying to evangelise, gods I hate that about the Linux community. Just trying to see if I can help in any way.

Thanks for the reminder that the Royal Hospital Chelsea has a gender-neutral restroom

My wife plays it. She’s on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS (so I’d expect it to work on Mint too), installed it through Bottles, and it just worked. I’m on Kubuntu 25.10 and I’ve had it running but haven’t actually played it.

Isn’t GOG a for-profit company?

I’d be really interested to see how it runs the IoT edition instead of mainline Windows
