/r/theoryofreddit post asking why reddit seems dead
  • Perhaps you moved from Europe to the States in the interim like I did.

    Edit to add: sorry if this came off as snarky, was not my intention. Just wanted to point out that it's not always so clear-cut. I created my Reddit account in 2008 when I lived in the Netherlands. Then I moved to the US in 2016 and became a citizen in 2019.

  • Jailed Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny dead, prison service says
  • Navalny most certainly wasn't stupid. He understood what he was getting into when he got on that flight back to Russia. My guess is that he hoped his arrest and detention would spark an uprising, which sadly didn't materialize.

    I would not have made the choice he did, but I'm also not as brave as he is. Fuck Putin.

  • Rainy Kyoto Days
  • Funny thing you should say that because IIRC there actually is a Starbucks on the left right around the corner (though with a traditional facade at least). Source: wife and I were there last year.

  • "Wanting to do so many things" by Cassandra Comic
  • Are you me? Because that sounds just like me. I can't make it through the day without an afternoon nap and have heart palpitations at night. All this started after a bout of covid in early 2021 right before vaccines were available.

  • Ok.
  • In OP's defense, it's kinda hard to tell nowadays if someone's joking or not. Satire is dead and buried.

    Edit to add: there absolutely is a non zero chance that the guy in the pic literally and purposefully peed his pants, thought that was a flex and subsequently bragged about it on the primary social network for professionals.

  • Don't be that guy.
  • I disagree, in neither scenario the open source dev owes him anything. You get to use and modify the software for free, but the flip side is you are entitled to nothing.

  • Researcher looking for cat owners to aid novel study on cat vocalisations (it's quick and simple!)
  • Yeah, it seems there's an automated profanity filter which I was not aware of until recently. I wish you could toggle this on and off as a user, but hey, I'm a guest on this platform so who am I to removed about this, am I right?

  • Oof

    This has happened more than once.

    Cheap (SFF) prefabs without GPUs on ebay, is that still a thing?

    Hey all. I'm currently renovating my basement and have been thinking about finally creating a comfy couch gaming setup. One of the many options I've been mulling over, besides running Steam Link over ethernet (~ugh, that lag though!~ lag actually wasn't that bad, but for some reason I can't get Steam Link to adapt the screen resolution to my tv) and running a RUIpro HDMI cable through my walls from the tv to the rig in my office, is maybe moving my 3080TI into a new SFF build to serve as a PCMR steam console for the basement. Preferably something small and nondescript, yet powerful enough to comfortably drive my 3080TI. I would stick an xbox adapter in it, hook it up to ethernet and my 4K TV via HDMI and call it a day. Bonus points if it can double as a blu-ray player, because why not.

    If I am going that route I would like to not spend too much, so I was wondering if maybe I could just pick up (from eBay) a prefab with a removed GPU, since that used to be a thing a year or two ago. Is that still a thing? And if so, can you recommend any specific models that would work well in my use case? Or did I miss the proverbial boat and am I better off just building a new SFF unit?

    Any and all input appreciated!
