Fan of Linux, modifying firmwares, and open source software. Mostly here to kill time and contribute to Lemmy's growth.
If you want to play a game together over XLinkKai shoot me a message. I have an original Xbox, PS2, and a PS3 I can use.
This is something I've struggled with. I read a lot of trending books in high school like Hunger Games and Twilight but ended up reading 50 Shades of Grey to the end and it honestly turned me off of reading for a while
I'm not the fastest reader so it really seemed like I just wasted a lot of time
Should be similar on most Linux distros.
Can you mount them? If so what does that look like?
I can't say I blame them when it comes to going with what's comfortable.
I used Windows and Linux while in school so it's what I got used to. Whenever I use MacOS I feel incredibly lost
Can you tell us some fun facts or stories?
I saw a comment once that said they are like sharks in that they can smell fear.
As in residue or entire batteries? Because the latter is where I am at
Yeah. Would be nice for those of us that never got to try out the online mode. I also don't think it's available on Playstation past the PS3
Such a shame. I thought they used some unofficial version of the API. I wonder what other open source front end I was thinking of?
I really think it comes down to the individual. I personally think that Aldous Huxley's book Brave New World was likely derived at least partially from the book We by Russian author Yevgeny Zamyatin but both Aldous Huxley and my 10th grade English teacher would disagree. I don't think it's wrong to take someone else's work and add upon it in a way you view beneficial. I view it as a natural evolution if anything and if it gives someone something to enjoy or makes the creative processes a little easier I'm all for it.
Yeah I mean I'm not talking about ReactOS. It's hard to measure the amount of malware per market share.
I imagine it's weighted unevenly dependent on it's user base and target demographic.
I agree but I feel like the obscurity aspect faded out with the I'm a Mac and I'm a PC ads
Yeah in the same remixing a song is considered original
Ah yes me the intellectual using Kali Linux to play Skyrim
I've been a user for years and I would agree with that. The only issue I've seen people have recently are with Red Hat and their recent source code policy change
Isn't the whole Macs don't get viruses thing a myth by this point?
There are a lot more sources for random untrustworthy Windows software than there are for MacOS but that's on the user the same way keeping your OS up to date is.
That's me with a lot of those games that seem designed around being a challenge like Dark Souls for example
Monthly Updates / Discussion
Does anyone know why I would be unable to view my own posts? I have tried Jerboa and the desktop version of Lemmy but under both when I sort by Overview or Posts both turn up blank. This has been going for a while not but I believe for a while after I lost the ability to view my posts in Jerboa I was able to see my posts on the desktop website.
I can still posts and get replies to my posts. Could this have something to do with me disable Show Read Posts in the settings?
Does anyone have tips for getting corroded batteries out of flashlights?
I imagine a lot of flashlight enthusiasts have death with this. I've found it's less an issue with D cell batteries and more AA and AAA.
What tip should I be using to solder wires together?
Pretty basic question but I am struggling to find the words to get the correct search result. The soldering iron I bought came with very narrow tips that I think are supposed to be used for circuit boards and components.
When I attempt to solder lines from a USB cord together the line never gets warm enough.
I remember in the past soldering copper lines together from an appliance with no issue so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong in terms of technique but who knows?
How do you feel about bots automatically reposting content from Reddit onto Lemmy?
I sort by all and new and have seen a fair amount of posts from bots bringing over content from Reddit. A lot of it doesn't have much if any engagement on here and as far as I can tell even if there was it wouldn't cross back and forth between the two platforms.
The communities these bots are posting to seem to have a low amount of subscribers and with the flood of content it seems a bit like a ghost town. Almost like subscribing to the RSS feed of a subreddit.
I'm not up in arms about it. The posts are being made by only a couple of bots into subreddit specific communities (ex. AskReddit) and Lemmy gives you the ability to block communities so this isn't really showing up in my feed anymore.
The only possible issue I could see in the future is if Lemmy communities tried to link with a subreddit's. For example an instance's pc gaming community with /r/PCGaming.
I'm curious to hear how you feel about Reddit content automatically (or even manually) being posted here.
Should I play the Witcher 3, Dead Island 2, or Atomic Heart?
I'm playing on PS4 and am looking for games to play in 2 to 3 hour chunks after work.
How much water do you think you drink in a day?
The blood donation lady asked me if I was hydrated and I said I think so. She asked how much I drank and was surprised to hear I usually drink 4L before noon
What's the most noteworthy/interesting game repack you've come across?
Some of them that come to mind for me are:
This is Cuba's Netflix, Hulu, and Spotify – all without the internet - - Vox
Media smugglers get Taylor Swift, Game of Thrones, and the New York Times to Cubans every week through an illegal network of runners. Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO In Cuba there is barely any internet. Anything but the state-run TV channels is prohibited. Publications are limited...
El Paquete Semanal (The Weekly Package) is something I've been interested in for a while and what got me into reading about other forms of sneakernet'ing. Figured I'd share this video in case someone hasn't heard about it before
What game did you purchase because of the aesthetics but barely or never played?
I did this with Cruelty Squad, Hylics, and to a lesserextentt Underrail.
For the most part it was either the difficulty or not knowing what I should be doing.
What's your favorite console to play your "backed up" games on?
If you've ever checked out /r/OriginalXbox there were some pretty neat hardware mods like LCD screens on the front of the console that display current playing content.
The PS2 can play games off of an SD card with MX4SIO through the memory card slot, through USB, through SMB with a Raspberry Pi, and through an internal HDD. You don't even need a working disc drive or a hard mod.
The PS Vita has a rocking homebrew scene.
The 3DS had neat custom themes and being able to use QR codes to download games is pretty nifty.
There's also SBC Gaming devices like the RG350 and Retroid Pocket 3+ that can play a wide array of systems.
Basically I have a hard time narrowing it down. What about you? Is there one console or device you keep coming back to?
