Hi, I'm A Stupid Person Who Gets Mad At Review Scores
  • This ignores subjectivity. What is a 7/10 for most gamers could easily be a 10/10 for a specific type of gamer. Rather than focusing on review scores people should focus on the niche of games that they really enjoy.

  • Things like this turn people off from Linux
  • If you keep trying to use GUI to do what you want you're gonna have a bad time. The majority of Linux users doing power stuff like this will use the terminal. Because of that, the GUI is unfortunately underdeveloped.

    It's good once you learn it though. Let's say that tool never existed. I could easily write a bash script to compress images in cbr or cbz myself. Or autoconvert all cbr files to cbz. Or watch my downloads directory for new files and do that automatically. It's very flexible and empowering if you learn it. Nobody can make a GUI for every single thing people want a script for.

  • Does Beehaw benefit from federation?
  • This is nothing like white/black which was segregation purely based on race and the idea that skin colour somehow made your inferior.

    Differences in culture, attitude, values, ways of understanding the world are very real and people will naturally spend time with people more similar to them. Spending time with different people can be good but it is also frustrating and mentally draining. I am autistic and I tend to not enjoy the company of neurotypical or extroverted people. If someone forced me to do that, I would be very unhappy. Why is the reverse okay?

  • Why aren’t health warnings on cigarettes expanded to alcohol?
  • Alcohol withdrawal can kill you. That alone makes it more dangerous. Serious addiction to alcohol (physical dependence, 20+ units a day every day, no longer eating properly) is a completely different beast to moderate consumption. It is very, very hard to quit.

  • Does Beehaw benefit from federation?
  • which is exactly what’s happening when an NT prefers the company of a member of a hate group above the company of someone with an autism diagnosis.

    What do you suggest though? We can't force NTs to spend time with autistic people, and it wouldn't be constructive.

  • How do you pick yourself up after getting your heart broken?
  • I would not be too hard on yourself. Like you said long distance is extremely hard and kills relationships, even long term ones, let alone a young one like yours. It takes work - video calls, presents, routine conversation - and that comes from a commitment that you two hadn't established yet. Or perhaps he was never willing to provide.

    It is scary how quickly feelings can change, but I put that down again to how little you guys had known each other. I also had a 3 month relationship that was amazing, and we went LDR and it was like I couldn't even remember their face or their voice after a while. If you had known him for say a year, it would have been a lot different.

  • Gamepass Games for July (Console/ PC)
  • It's hard but the levels are one screen long and you restart instantly on death (or after pressing a button). So you don't have to replay lots of stuff and you don't lose any progress. I don't like Dark Souls but I loved Celeste.

  • Samsung confirms ‘slimmer and lighter’ Galaxy Z Flip 5 and Fold 5, teases tablets and watches
  • It was too expensive for me so I bought an "open box, as new condition" one for $1,100 (£850). It was a risk but it really has been as new condition and I'm super happy with it. It has been a life changer because everything is easier with a larger screen (particularly the keyboard!) and having one device is so much more convenient than syncing and carrying two.

    A lot of the cheaper used models have marks on the outside of the phone, but if you're using a case then it's a non-issue because the case covers them up. As long as the screens are fine.

    Once the Fold 5 comes out in a few weeks even a new Fold 4 will hopefully be cheaper.

  • Be honest, do you still use reddit?
  • I went from several hours a day to zero after the blackout, morally I just don't want to support them anymore. I still add 'reddit' to google searches sometimes and look at those, but no more mindless scrolling of the front page.

  • What Item have you purchased for less than $100, that has made a large difference in your life?
  • A noise generator (LectroFan). I live in a noisy area (Friday/Saturday nights) and the machine completely blocks out all sound. It is more comfortable for me than wearing earplugs or headphones.

    Similarly noise-cancelling headphones made a HUGE difference to my life but they're a bit more than $100. Still recommended for anyone thinking about it.
