It was a lot of fun for me. I did it without a virtual machine (would not generally recommend) on a older laptop I wasn't using anyway. I wasn't very successful in the end however. My own built kernel couldn't produce any vga output. I tried to fix it for a handful of nights, but in the end gave up and called it good enough :P So I might comeback to it later to fully complete an installation.
But it was good learning oppertunity. It showed that just compiling a version of the Linux kernel isn't very complicated. It even comes with a very nice TUI to select your build options!
I personally swapped over to Proton Mail recently. Exporting over all saved email, groups and labels from Gmail was easy. I love it so far, it's very similar to how Gmail works. I've set Gmail to forward everything to my new one so I don't need to go to back very often.
The only bugbear I have currently is while multi-selecting emails in the inbox, then open one up to read it and back out, the selections aren't remembered. But they are pushing improvements all the time, so I'm sure that will be fixed with time.
It is a bit more involved than your typical battlefront match, but the reward is a Star Wars game we could have only dreamed of in the past. I can't overstate how good of a mod this is.
I don't see these stories as about what the chat ai outputs, but more about questioning whether or not amazon should be held liable for what their AI outputs. Traditional customer support chatbots are often less than useless, but they wouldn't go about suggesting the product they're selling are defective or recommending offensive products. I'm of the opinion that Amazon's review search AI thing should be held up to the same standard that a human would be. And if a person started acting like this they would surely be quickly fired.
They are a black box, and for now trying to restrain the black box has sever impact on the usefulness of the output even in easier and legit situations.
Some hard choices. I generally like my RTS and FPS games. I play a wide range of games from story driven like the BG series, to yearly play throughs of 93's Doom, to mil sims like arma.
I have a hard time to stick to one game for a long time, so whatever I pick would need to be moddable to bring some variety. I'm imagining maybe a stalker game where there's a wealth of mods, but the world isn't that large. Arma 3 might be nice, you got decent multi-player bots for when the world has moved on, it's very moddable and relatively easy to set up new scenarios for yourself.
I do like my sim racing as well, so asetto corsa would definitely be the main contender there.
If I'd have to pick some games off the top of my head they'd be AoE 2, HL 2, Doom 2, asetto corsa, Ms flight sim (but the servers will die at some point), Arma.
So I'm picturing myself in 40 years time, I've finished building my new rocking chair with the skills I've got from all this free time, I sit down in front of the same computer I have now. I'd say I'm launching up doom to do another play through of Sunlust. Hm or maybe I'll do a bit more work on my at that point 10 year old OpenTTD save. Just something simple that will stand the test (and already has) of time, a game I can fire up and feel just as home in now, as I did last year, and the year before that.
For the exact reason so many of us had come here with recent rules changes that reddit have adopted.
Here on lemmy it would be relatively painless to move to a new instance if lemmy.world suddenly decided to ban the capital letter B. But if Spez thought it might increase his IPO, there wouldn't be much you can do about it.
I've really been enjoying my time with wow classic. I started playing on a vanilla private server a couple of years before classic came. I've really enjoyed the journey through all the expansions again.
Just cleared gnomeregan yesterday in Sod. Good times.
I get you are joking, but incase someone doesn't see the /s. As the top comment said it's easier to move heat around than creating it. Regardless if it's warmer or colder outside there's still energy there that we can use.
It's easier to move your clothes from the laundry basket to the wardrobe, than to go out and buy new clothes (or is it?).
