i don’t know about you but i’m still in 2024. didn’t seem like 2024 would be worth switching to

my secret for dealing with winter mornings is a healthy collection of warm fuzzy socks. (although warm slippers work well for this too.) i always keep a pair right next to my bed so they’re waiting for me the second i get out of bed. i then put on some warm pants and maybe a robe too. it means i don’t have to choose between being in bed and being warm and cozy. i’m always warm and cozy at home.

No crawlers ever go there.

if it makes you feel any better, i would go there if i was a web crawler.

i think that’s fair point. language does work both ways, and i am certainly not in the majority with this opinion. but what bothers me is that it feels like they’re changing the definition of the word and piggybacking off of its old meaning. i know this kind of thing isn’t all that uncommon, but it still rubs me the wrong way.

quick save is also pretty fucked in their games. highly recommend getting a mod that replaces the quicksave keybind with something that creates a manual save with an autogenerated name. (that is not how bethesda implements quicksave, for some reason.)

i think we give silicon valley too much linguistic power. there should really be more pushback on them rebranding LLMs as AI. it’s just a bunch of marketing nonsense that we’re letting them get away with.

(i know that LLMs are studied in the field of computer science that’s known as artificial intelligence, but i really don’t think that subtlety is properly communicated to the general public.)

is "rips" the new "slams"?

i think zuckerberg kissed his ass harder and more affectionately than tiktok did

do you have the steam version or gog? i played the steam version on windows 11 last year and had no more problems than usual. also if you’re using the steam version, you might have to make sure it’s not installed within Program Files or Program Files (x86). those install locations can cause problems with mods.

you might also benefit from installing the 4gb patch in addition to IStewieAI’s engine tweaks. a lot of the mods in the first few sections of the viva new vegas guide are pretty much essential in order to play the game with minimal bugs and crashes. also some of the “crash fixing” mods cause problems in windows 10 and 11.

hopefully one of the above things works. i had to find a lot of those things out the hard way, it can be a pretty finicky game. really fun though.

completely agreeing, 10 times

my condolences to your kitchen floor and kitchen counter. they are in for a rather unpleasant surprise

The disclaimer Novak referred to in his skeet (the generally accepted term for a Bluesky post) …

who has accepted this term? i want names

so small and yet so loud

sprongloxide might be the first rust crate i’ve heard of that’s reached version 0.9. my experience has usually been that the projects die and get forked due to infighting or loss of interest before reaching v0.6.

i’m starting to wonder if maybe it’s better for me financially to not interact with the sales and then just occasionally eat the price of a full price game if i really want to play it. unless of course the sale is for a game that i’ve taken a sacred vow to play within the next year

have you met any drummers?

i will also not be attending his inaugural lunch. i bet that will show him

why not just take it a step further and make true = “Yes” and false = “No”

you drive a hard bargain

i agree with what you’re saying and i think we’re mostly on the same page here. i just felt it would be worth saying that, from my perspective, the point of the fediverse isn’t to compete with those websites but instead to be an alternative to them. it’s to offer a picture of what social media can be like without dark patterns, extreme surveillance, and constant enshittification. and there is a really comfort in that. it feels really nice to not have to worry about a website or app getting worse every time i use it.

i also feel like the people on here tend to behave more thoughtfully (in general) than people on reddit and other for profit social media websites. and it wouldn’t surprise me if that was in part due to the absence of dark patterns making lemmy feel more relaxed and less high stakes. there’s also a bit of a small town feeling on this website that i kind of like too.
