Thanks! Yeah, I learned that early on... I am in Spain and people use coger and recoger all the time. There is a similar saying using "to take" in English which has the same connotation - to take it. (Basically to get f--ked)

wtf, lol that must be some damn good butta!

I think there are a lot of misconceptions about what federated means. IMHO, it would be really cool if there were an easy way to share and remove a profile across instances that wasn't stored on a server, and it was yours and yours alone to do with what you like.

And very soon facebook as well...

Ah cool, I have used them in the past for laptops and my switch, but I didn't realize they also cover appliances and a bunch of other categories.

Great point. Think of how incredible it would be if you could go on line and get manuals to fix any part of anything you own from a PS5 to a Refrigerator, to a Rivan Truck including all the protocols, chip sets, ect... Or just explore them to see how things work, I'm sure a lot of great inventions and ideas came about from people tinkering with and exploring manuals like these. Anymore these are considered "top secret" and you have to reverse engineer anything to figure out how it works. I think this speaks more to the fact that the things you "buy" these days aren't really considered yours. You are borrowing the IP to use for a fee and if it breaks, tough shit. Throw it out and get a new one.

Ah, good point. I do have a monitor with HDR, but I never really paid attention to it in the past. AFAIK unfortunately there isn't really any good support for HDR without a lot of messing with the window server. It seems to be in the works though by various groups.

Good luck with that....

No big surprise here, stars/star reviews are in general completely worthless. I don't really even bother with them anymore.

Similar to this guy I haven't used windows to play games for around 2 years now. I have around 30-40 games and I haven't found a game that doesn't work, yet...

To add more context, the artist's name is Thomas Deininger he actually makes these sculptures out of trash he finds and is given (not only toys). He says it's in response to treating the planet as a place to dump our garbage and the general decline of the biodiversity on earth along with the extinction of it's species as a direct result of climate change and habitat loss. So anyways, while it's cool looking it definitely has darker message.

Among the birds depicted in Deininger's work are a wild maccaw, endangered due to deforestation and poaching; the Carolina parakeet, hunted to extinction following an initial habitat loss; and the Ivory-billed woodpecker, native to the coniferous forests of the Southern United States and Cuba that has been listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service as extinct since September 2021. While all of these birds have different appearances, colors, and textures, the artist has found a way to truthfully represent them thanks to his keen sense of observation.

heavy as boulders?

This is to bad, I really enjoyed this game one of the better platformers to come out in a long time.

Great interview, thanks

Just had a similar issue a few days ago, where my system would freeze and spent 2 days trying to solve it. Ran a memory test, no issues. Tried NVIDIA drivers 470,535 and 550 with different combinations of the kernel including 6.x and 5.x (make sure you're using generic). Issue was still there, grabbed a copy of windows and tried it there, same issue. That narrowed it down to a hardware issue. Started tweaking the bios and found the problem was a pcie gen issue, my motherboard was automatically setting it to 5 which was causing the crash I set it to 3, no more problems. You could use the same techniques to narrow down your problem as well. (Nothing was ever reported in any logs since it was a hard freeze, which made this a huge pain in the ass to fix)

Cool! Interesting, I thought True North meant that they somehow pointed north given another reference. Thanks for the info.

By far one of the most interesting articles I've seen on Lemmy so far, thanks for the link

Wow great article and Elon said its because of DEI policies and HBCUs. "Don't look at all the money I have from being a greedy asshole, it's because of (insert marginalized class or people here)".

This post pretty much sums up social media.
