Something like Ryzen 5 / high i5/low i7 with 4060Ti or 6800XT/7700XT. I think you’ll be better off going a bit higher than that. But then again, a pc does more than just gaming so if you would want it just to game with a console has better optimisation for lower price.

Any free online game is gonna be ruined by its community. Do yourself a favour and look for a game you actually like and pay for it.

I totally agree but I suppose you have to note that at the time, it was somewhat unique.

That said, pop music has been bland since the 70s. Rock has dominated the charts for decades and anything remotely experimental is just called ‘noise’ by boomers who just seem to want more of the same.

The surge of dance music is a breath of fresh air that has become the same issue, but now affecting the next generation.

Borderlands 2 is great! Should work with Proton.

In my experience, the term FOSS as in FLOSS is only (incorrectly, as you pointed out) used for software that is free if charge.

But you are correct, the term says nothing about the pricing, they only say something about the licensing form.

FOSS is free, OSS doesn’t have to be. Very often open source software, of which the commercial fork is being maintained by a company, that company will profit from businesses using the software. Idk about VLC but Moodle, for instance, is open source and updates for it are based on a subscription model.

The license agreement for OSS will often state that you are free to use it in your own home, but if you start commercially using the software, they expect you to pay. Some open source projects can get resold by service providers this way to handle deployment of updates, provide support, et cetera.

I think that really depends on the news site. News from my country is very well suited for RSS.

I think what you’re describing is the need for RSS feeds. Generally, news outlets categorise their articles neatly so you subscribe with RSS to only headlines, or world events, or whatever. It requires you to have a look around the news site in question and setup RSS correctly.

The other neat thing is that you can read all your RSS feeds (ie multiple news sites) in one reader and there are tons of custom RSS apps.

I share your disdain for gossip and mainstream money grab promo. And ads. My god how much do ads suck.

I agree Lemmy contains more positivity. I would like to nominate the folks over at Stop Drinking for a positivity award. Also the communities that share wholesome moments. But for most of what I see, it’s bots posting news.

I think the 70 model is best to upgrade every once in a while. I went from a 1070Ti/1080p to 1070Ti/1440p. Then it started struggling, so now I’m on 4070/1440p. If you’d have a xx60 you’d be upgrading every gen.

That said, rumour has it that the 50xx’s won’t be a big improvement over 40xx. Most likely what comes after 50xx will be a big one.

So depends on what you play but the 40 series does all the DLSS fancies the 50 will probably. So 4070ti super for my money would be fine, 4080 super might be nice if you can get it.

Lemmy, reddit, 4chan… You find them all around. If you ask me, it’s likely caused by childhood isolation. Kids who grow up in a tense environment or with certain disorders tend to be outcasts when growing up and this creates a bitterness towards the world.

It feels unfair that there is a way most people behave towards one another that you can not be a part of. And it’s always easier to blame the environment than to look inward, find out what is causing these feelings and how to combat them. This is easily said when you’re past your 30s, but a 7 year old kid does not have the capacity to do this level of self reflection. So the effects of being an outcast compound. At some point it just becomes easier to direct your anger at faceless strangers and avoid any kind of real social situations. And this, of course, also compounds.

But that’s just my armchair psychology take on it. I have been somewhat of an outcast up until college (although not nearly as bad as some other kids I’ve met). College was an eye-opener for me due to the acceptance and positivity that was around everyone. I noticed quickly that the happiest folks where the ones who spoke mostly of things they liked. It’s a cliche for a reason, but a positive attitude breeds positivity.

Sometimes I see people rant about people in a way that makes me believe they rarely interact with anyone face to face. Complete lack of anything positive to say about others, can only discuss topics that mean something to themselves, no ability to put themselves in someone else’s shoes.

Soldering is very hot soldering, the materials used in welding are different and the application is different.

You may not have liked it but at least you played it… Right?

Because if you truly love the series you will have also played TPS a lot. You can’t just keep playing 2 and then saying you’re a huge fan. That would make you a huge fan of Borderlands 2.

Been sorting new all my life on reddit and I’ve been using Boost forever so now I use Boost and sort by new. I enjoy not seeing the same shit over and over.

Oh yeah I’ve had a huge mancrush on him since he was Johnny in Two Guys, A Girl and and a Pizza Place.

I wasn’t aware of Firefly until I went to college.

And inspirational.

I’d let Nathan Fillion star in it.

All jokes aside, Borderlands was perfectly fine as a video game. There was hardly a need for a movie and even if there was, I’d only have people associated who have more than the total average of hours into the game. If you haven’t played The Pre-Sequel for more than 200 hours, you have no business here.

Battery tech and self-sufficient energy solutions for a home in general. Being able to provide your own energy and store it for later use is just excellent.
