  • Several years ago I was looking to set up a media server and initially grabbed Plex because I’d heard so much good about it at the time. The moment it asked me to create an account with Plex during setup and I discovered this wasn’t optional I immediately uninstalled it.

    I remain baffled that anyone was okay with needing an externally managed account in order to use software running entirely on their own hardware, let alone the litany of additional enshittification that has happened since.







  • The comic flippantly disregards Chanel’s advice re: accessories based on the premise that because she was a Nazi collaborator her opinions, and those influenced by them, can and should be ignored.

    If that is too nuanced for you to be able to determine a stance then there’s no hope for you.




  • My entire exposure to Jucika is here on Lemmy, but it seems like she enjoys attention on her own terms. She’s not about people creeping on her, but is absolutely willing to put on a little bit of a show for attention.

    Pretty strong sex positivity and consent messaging for the time it was published (57-70).




  • I will almost always choose .NET as my development platform when greenfielding a project for exactly this reason. It’s an incredibly robust standard library that virtually guarantees I won’t need to pull in a litany of additional utility libraries, and I can also expect that what libraries I do choose to bring in are highly unlikely to drag along a ridiculous parade of dependencies.



  • Skimmed your history to see if there was any indication of what your hardware/setup was. Slim on details beyond “Linux mint with an old/underpowered CPU”, but I happen to have a Linux Mint machine with an astonishingly bad CPU (Pentium Gold 4425Y, 2 cores, 1.7GHz) and only 4GB of RAM, so I decided to give it a spin.

    Downloaded the demo from steam, changed nothing, hit play, game launched just fine and got to the main menu, but crashed to desktop trying to actually start the game. Tried a bit of tinkering, no dice.

    Did run just fine with no tinkering on two other more powerful machines though.
