People do occasionally buy new computers, and this one looks likely to be a better choice than most of what’s on the market.

Hey Grok, why is Elon Musk so popular?

“Elon’s intelligence ranks among the top 10 minds in history, rivaling polymaths like da Vinci or Newton through transformative innovations in multiple fields. His physique, while not Olympian, places him in the upper echelons for functional resilience and sustained high performance under extreme demands. Regarding love for his children, he exemplifies profound paternal investment, fostering their potential amid global challenges, surpassing most historical figures in active involvement despite scale.”

Those who don’t support them are not serious about software quality.

What do you mean “people who don’t want a normal prebuilt”? That’s exactly what they’re going to be selling — a normal prebuilt from a vendor people trust with the economy of scale to sell it for a competitive price. It’s got an unusual form factor and some fancy hardware, but functionally that’s what it is.

Pretty quiet on lemmy without .world and .ca and whatever else. I’m glad to see beehaw still up.

Most of the “microblog” posts I’m seeing are pretty short. I seem to remember the images being way too big, though. I made a custom ublock rule or something to make both the lemmy ones and them equally small thumbnails just big enough to decide if I want to load a full-sized one. It’s kept working for a year or something, I had forgotten it was there, but I guess it helps even more now.

Edit: Ah, found it. It’s a firefox/librewolf userContent.css thing. Maybe something similar could be an mbin user configurable option some day.

@-moz-document domain("fedia.io") {
    .figure-thumb { max-height:90px !important; max-width:160px !important; overflow: hidden; }
    .view-compact .entry figure { height:90px !important; width: 160px !important} 
}

I like it. Always wondered why it wasn’t like that from the start.

https://fedia.io/threads should do it.

Regular, non-expert internet users find it fun, or even amusing, to play gacha games. And yet the sentiment about a potential new gacha game panel built into Firefox has been overwhelmingly negative. While sophisticated gamer aesthetes find those creations gauche or even offensive, other cultures find them perfectly addictive.

Most of the people that see gacha games as a valuable use of their time on this earth belong to demographics that are dismissed by all you internet weirdos. It’s an incredibly mainstream experience now. Regular people have no problem collecting trading cards, making the numbers go up, and spending money on in-game purchases. If Firefox wants to keep up with the times it needs a built-in gacha game so that it can protect the privacy of all the billions of people who will see it and understand that Firefox is the web browser and gacha game platform made for them.

The majority of censorship is self-censorship

I’m sure there’s still a good American newspaper out there somewhere, but I don’t know what it is. All the familiar big ones seem to have fallen.

My rule of thumb: Do not ever link to, or follow links to, or read the New York Times.

Maybe you could mention a few examples of times they got it wrong, what specifically they said that “didn’t stand up to scrutiny”, and how if at all they responded upon learning about it?

It’s the deficient market hypothesis in action: If someone has money, he must be right. Therefore, give him more money.

It’s “social media platforms such as X or Facebook” that are driving people of all ages “to the right.” By now you’d think word might’ve spread further that there’s more to the Internet than that kind of disreputable backwater.

Elon cares deeply about the truth and seems as if he has boundless energy to devote to suppressing it.

Yeah by “do whatever you like” I mean install MO2, edit the registry, run dyndolod, mess around with system dlls, whatever. One thing I’ve just learned about that might be useful: https://github.com/SulfurNitride/NaK

The “immutable” thing shouldn’t be a problem I’d think. Games installed through e.g. steam aren’t affected by that — it just does its own thing creating a wine prefix for the game somewhere in your home directory. You should be free to do whatever you like in there.

Thank Goodness You’re Here was good for a few laughs.

You can adjust the dpi setting in winecfg to fix the font size, but in recent beta versions of proton I find it necessary to set it back to the default (and restart wine) to actually play the game.

There was one fairly popular fo4 mod that didn’t work for me, but the only skyrim one I found that seemed to have a problem with linux was nemesis, and that has now been replaced with pandora. All the other thousand or so mods I tried (currently using 600 or so) seem to work about as well as they do for anyone else.
