Which Video Game was most influential on you as a child, and why?
  • Many games cemented my love for video games. Jak and Daxter, Ratchet and Clank, Prince of Persia.... God of War, parents didn't give a fux back then, the pixels weren't that realistic.

    Seeing Sonic the Hedgehog as an eyecatcher on a tv in a tv store.

    Mario ofcourse. Super Mario World 3 on a cracked playstation.

  • be 400 pound fat fuck
  • Being fat is a bad thing. Its bad for you health and self image. No one wakes up wanting to be fat. Don't be afraid to fat shame, that will atleast motivate those fookers a bit

  • What's your method of enjoying (or at least tolerating) physical exercise?
  • For me keeping it quick helps alot. No need to be in the gym for 1.5-2 hours, especially if you can wrap up your workout in 50 minutes. I'm just there to get my reps in, no more no less.

    To that end either find a split that doesn't target as many muscle groups in 1 session. Like Push Pull Legs. Or super set as much as possible.

    For finding motivation to actually do it, I tend to workout after already being productive. So clean up your room/kitchen, or code for a bit. And when that productivity train is going, keep it going. Or go immediately when coming home from work, don't first "relax". Keep the momentum high and tackle things of your todo list; like working out.

  • Pros/cons to legalize marijuana in a country
  • Here in the Netherlands we have the "Gedoogbeleid", which translates to Tolerance policy. It's somewhere in between Decriminalized and legal. U are allowed to purchase and have up to 5 grams with you. And using it is okay in your own home and in places that don't disturb the public. But it's still partly illegal, as in no indoor growing and carrying more than 5g... It's a weird setup.

    It's also a weird construction because technically the coffeeshops themselves are not allowed to buy the bulk amounts of weed to sell in their shops. So everything has to come in sneakily through the backdoor....

    Lately legalization has been getting a good push, and now shops are buying their flowers from legit, government approved "Wiet boeren" weed farmers.

    True Legalization Pros:

    • Good alcohol alternative. It's one of the better substances to abuse.
    • Better byproducts of flower. So more room for edibles, hash, concetrates and all the good stuff.
    • Quality control, now you have some traceability where your flower is coming from. They put de Wiet Boeren on the bags with a qr code to see your flowers origin.

    Cons:

    • The wallet doesn't like the flowers.
    • Weed is very habbit forming. Addiction might be too strong a word for weed. But oh boy is it habbit forming. Ppl who deny this, are in denial.

    As for how it affects the overall drug trade. Our number 1 export in the Netherlands is XTC. But that's a whole different beast. As for weed drug trade, it does decrease it. In smaller townds without shops u will always have you local dealers. But weed really isn't drug to be afraid of as in violence and crime surrounding it.

  • Another deGoogled iPhone
  • I'd wish, but I my country u have official goverment ID apps that you need for taxes and stuff. Banking, work and school all often require phones. Not using a smartphone is just not feasible for many people, so might as well encourage alt phones like Linux

  • Ive wrestled with spirituality for a while now, and and don't know what to do?
  • Aye organized religion is difficult. One church will be very tolerant and actually follow the teaching that their Holy book say: Love thy neighbours.

    Others are just racist and discriminatory c*nts.

    I'd really wish a new religion would be founded. Without all the outdated cultural, zeitgeist, views. Neo-Christiniaty/Islam, whatever one would call it. The core message is often right. Work and live together for a better world.

  • Firefox forks

    Wondering which forks Lemmings are using. With LibreWolf I get a lot of captchas. Mercury last release, v.129.0.2 , is from 2024?

    Or would just using a hardening file like Betterfox be the best option? I am on Ubuntu....

    Question about upload speeds (torrenting)

    Fellow Scallywags, I'm trying to share my booty (not that one). But my average upload speed is 294,4 kiB/s, while my average download is 6.1MiB/s.

    I've tried ProtonVPN port forwarding, but that doesn't seem to increase it much more than compared to Mullvad without port forwarding.

    Is it nomal that uploading is this much less than downloading? What can I do to increase upload speeds? Using qbittorrent.

    Okay so I've found that it's related to connection limits, while writing this post up; the old just search it up.

    So instead what are some good tips regarding connection limits?

    No wifi on Linux Mint. Macbook pro 2017

    Finally decided to convert to the penguin. I have live booted mint from a usb, without installing it yet, on a macbook pro 2017. But none of the WiFi networks in my apartment are showing, except for a few weak ones. Help a newbie out :)

    Edit: To clarify it is not installed yet. Just used it from a live usb.

    Edit 2: Used phone as tether for internet and went through all managers. But none had any updates that worked. I also tried installing b43 and after that wl. But both did nothing on the live usb boot, I assume since modprobe doesn't do anything on a live boot. But I ain't installing if it won't even work on the live boot.

    @RedNight left a link that suggests this macbook, version 14.2, wifi doesn’t work with linux. https://github.com/Dunedan/mbp-2016-linux

    Final edit: Fedora also didn't work. So it's a hardware compatibility issue.

    TLDR: If u have a macbook 2017 version 14.2 the wifi won't work on linux so don't try.

    Tea and decarbing

    Hey Lemmings! Need some advice on making weed tea. I've noticed some recipes call for decarbing the weed before infusing it into the tea, while others don't mention it at all. Has anyone tried both methods? Any noticeable differences in potency or taste?

    Update: I decarbed a small amount of flower, probaly less than 0.5g , at 115 c for 30 minutes. After that I boiled it with 300ml of water and 2 tbs of butter for 30 mins. As the water evaporated I kept refilling the water.

    Can't really say that it was very potent, maybe not enough flower, or not enough boiling? Wouldn't recommend based on this experience. Next time I'll just make cannabutter and put that in the tea.
