I can manage to skip FB altogether, but 99% of my friends and family are on Messenger

Libre Office then?

True

Definitely feels emptier than it was a few months earlier, but so far I enjoy the “I’m not just a pawn in an ocean of users” feel that Lemmy gives vs Reddit

Its not good for the general aura surrounding the release. I don’t follow the game actively but all I hear is negativity.

If they don’t do anything to fix it, not long

I know I can’t escape Google’s Orwellian surveillance entirely but I limit what I can, and adblockers/ trackerblockrers play a huge part in this.

Its an in house utility… But I would assume something similar already exists out there

Its a very simple low ressource video server utility that I’m using for easy access at work.

Its basically a stupid low footprint plex-like local web server that uses the browser’s internal HEVC support to play and cast to my TV.

With MS hinting at SAAS for Win12 with Copilot, this will be a good test.

Nobody can profit off “monthly usage credits” or without a subscription.

At least not until the tech becomes more affordable.

Firefox doesn’t have native HEVC support. So I switched to Opera because no other browser except for Safari has that feature.

Supposedly Edge has it, but couldn’t get it to work on my media server app.

I tried Opera on a few of my devices lately and frankly I’m impressed by the responsiveness. I still can’t get rid of Firefox but I find myself moving over to Opera more and morem

Much like GIFs, MP3s will never go away.

Sure there are better alternatives, but widespread adoption over decades now is hard to gloss over.

I remember buying concert tickets for me and my gf for under $20. For both.

Fuck Ticketmaster.

There’s your problem. Hiring an entire team for 6+ years and then cancelling the project. That’s hundreds of thousands, if not millions, down the drain.

The current AA / AAA gamedev industry isn’t sustainable

That’s a silly excuse. At roughly $20 / TB, a 150gb game shouldn’t be an issue

I’m so happy for these guys. Can’t wait until tomorrow to finally play the game!

Please God no. I cannot fathom how people manage to hear my real voice.

I sound so much better inside my skull

Sid Meier’s Civilisation. Got me hooked like what I imagine crack cocaine and meth would do to you.

Still twice a much as a series S. $600 is alot of money for many people
