For me, as an individual, I don't think the cultural relevancy of my generation matters at all when it comes to getting involved in society.

Nothing in particular? I don't see how my cultural relevancy would affect my life in any way.

I see no practical reason to build one on earth. It would be prohibitively expensive to build and maintain and there isn't really any point to it. On planets without a breathable atmosphere, maybe, but I don't see it happening within our lifetimes.

I live in an old house, so sometimes mice find their way in. Never really a huge problem though. I catch them with live traps and let them out a few km away. Don't think I've had any in the last couple months.

Yeah, this seems like an attempt to create a token leftist community to prove that they're not right-wing (despite all active political communities on there being just that). I find it quite funny that they're still looking for an actual leftist to run the community... Good luck with that!

It's neither communist nor a site.

Tried updating earlier today and it immediately failed. Guess I got lucky and it was already pulled offline at that point.

The little icon directly on the right next to the "leftist infighting" title.

Same on the desktop web interface. Just a regular locked post, with the lock icon.

Basically a person being paid to fight in a war in a foreign country without being part of the military. I immediately thought of the Chinese mercenaries fighting in Ukraine for Russia. In many countries, becoming a mercenary is highly illegal, here in Germany it could even cost you your citizenship.

ProtonDB is generally quite helpful to find tweaks and fixes for games to run on Linux.

I haven't used Lutris, but through Steam/Proton, installing a patch is basically as simple as changing the executable path from the game .exe to the patch .exe and then changing it back after the patch was installed.

 

I feel like the Linux Handhelds made by GPH in the 2000s are a nowadays almost forgotten piece of history, even though they were in some ways the predecessor to today's Steam Deck. So I wanted to create a bit of an appreciation post for this chapter in Linux Gaming history. Did any of you use a GP2X back in the day as well? For me, it wasn't just my introduction to Linux gaming, but also game development, as I programmed my first games for it using GLBasic. It was a fantastic machine for emulation as well, got introduced to many old games from the 80s and 90s through it.

 

I'm currently waiting for all the components for my PC upgrade to arrive. Got the motherboard today and immediately upon opening, I noticed that the CMOS battery was not in its slot but just kind of next to it loose on top of the board. The slot seems fine, it seems to fit securely in there. No scratches on the board either. But now I'm a bit worried - could the battery have shorted something on the motherboard? It holds a charge after all. What do you think - should I return it for a new one untested or are the chances of the battery harming anything so miniscule that I should just go for it and use it in my build?

 

Für mich 90% Übereinstimmung mit Volt

 
 

That would explain why I didn't have any problems with Youtube and uBlock Origin.

 

Hi everyone! I've noticed for a while now that I can't reply to comments made by kbin accounts using my account here. Not even talking about kbin threads, but for example if I reply to any kbin-made comment over on feddit.de, once I click submit it just keeps spinning without ever posting the reply. I often see users from other lemmy instances replying to them though, so it doesn't seem like a general lemmy problem. Does everyone else here have this problem as well?
