And a movie

Free-to-play refers to a specific type of game distribution model where the game itself is free, but it includes microtransactions, an optional subscription, or both.

Free Software is software that is given freely to the world in its entirety, source code included. It’s different because of the complete lack of profit motive, in most cases.

Conclusive proof that D is faster than C, 2025

He has a fancy current gen MacBook Pro that he uses for his stuff. Then when it’s lesson time he whips out a windows 95 netbook and a daisy chain of adapters from VGA to thunderbolt.

I mean at that point you gotta admire the tenacity

Here on Lemmy, I think the number of Linux users is in the thousands, not dozens.

Can confirm

It supports GoG, Epic, and Amazon, but it also supports installing games manually, which has worked for literally everything else for me so far.

I used to use Lutris, but in the last year or so Heroic got so good I stopped ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Meh, I like Heroic better personally. It’s a preference thing at this point between the two of em IMO

1,028 movies

517 shows (20,702 episodes)

Shows are all 1080p or lower except a couple seasons of select shows in 4k. Movies are 4k HDR when it’s available, otherwise best quality I can find.

I use Jellyfin because of the client apps and FOSS nature.

I tend to prefer HEVC/h.265 encodings for the strong trade off between player compatibility and smaller size for the quality level, but h264 and AV1 are also both in my library. I don’t reencode anything except through the Jellyfin server transcoding.

I don’t play MMOs anymore (nothing can satisfy me like City of Heroes used to), but just wanted to chime in to say I love your vintage anime character names.

This. I use symfonium for my audiobooks. Great app.

I tried out the Deep Research feature for it today using my work account. It worked pretty well, not perfectly, but well enough. I chatted with it after it completed its report and it was able to hold the research and the report itself in context to answer my follow-up questions quite comprehensively.

Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.

…seriously? Go read The Boys or Chainsaw Man or Gantz

It was a distraction

Iron Maiden: Live After Death (runner up live album for them is Rock In Rio, the crowd is literally a quarter million people and they’re into it)

Come see the violence inherent in the system!

This has to be my favorite thing about Jeff Geerling vs other YouTube channels, he’ll make an accompanying blog post to go with each of his main channel videos that is effectively an annotated text version of the video with appropriately embedded images and links.

So exfiltrate a screenshot to your phone?

Yep, exactly this. He’d rather destroy the entire country than lose power, in part because as soon as he loses power he’s likely going to prison for the rest of his life.

I mean, it does have enough ways to write the same thing that it can really allow for some funny code golf, but some people just have no sense of readability whatsoever.
