I'm at the point now that I don't even bother checking ProtonDB unless it's a really expensive purchase. Most things work out of the box for me. With some games that have a native Linux client, the Windows version will actually run better for me.

Ah, gotcha. Feel like I'm too old to keep up with it now.

Are these called "Wojack" memes? I've never understood why this art style became so popular.

Same. Threw what extra money I had into some reliable stocks. Did the same thing during Covid too, and it worked out pretty well for me. It feels a bit like I'm a crisis vampire, but I just don't want to be working anymore when I hit 60.

It hides the problem or else it gets the hose again

I'd watch this. Not an anime fan, but I bet Simon Pegg would nail the comedy.

Ah, interesting. Had no idea. Thanks.

Interesting. I see bicycle pedals and a chain. Seems it'd function a bit similar to modern e-bikes.

For me personally, I think it might be for the best that a portion of them can't be bothered. I've watched the quality of Reddit posts and comments erode over the past decade or so. I think one reason is from the user base trending younger. Lemmy feels a bit more like what Reddit was back in the day.

Come on, this isn't Riyadh. They're not gonna saw your hands off, all right? The worst they can do is put you for a couple of months into a while collar, minimum security resort!

I was that kid in my high school years. Teachers were usually pretty cool about it, like they already understood.

Dude, no offense, but that water mark message at the bottom is so silly. There's gotta be better services out there that don't add their own messages. Have you considered just adding your water mark manually with photo editing software? Gimp is free and doesn't take much effort to learn for what you're doing with it. Also, if it's a matter of batch processing, Gimp has a plugin called Bimp that should let you automatically add your water mark to whole collections of images in one go. In any case, not trying to offend. Just hoping this is helpful.

I just rip the band-aid off and dunk myself. Better to get it over with quickly. Also, if I'm doing something like a dive or a flip, I find that my mind is too busy on the technique to really consider the cold shock. Plus, then I get to look smugly at the others that saw the sweet move I just pulled off.

Samba daemon

Some fast food places work a bit like this in the sense that you tell them how many meat patties you want. It doesn't change the diameter, but affects the height a fair amount.

I would say not much. If it's your own personal LAN, and only your devices are on it, and you're not hosting super sensitive data, then I wouldn't personally be worried. Just depends on your risk acceptance.

Edit: But if you are hosting sensitive data on an untrusted network, then definitely require a user with a strong password. Also, SMB3 and higher supports encryption (both in Windows and Samba for Linux). Encryption isn't enabled by default, though. So keep that in mind. Easy to setup on both Windows and Linux.

That's a security quirk. Microsoft reeeeeally doesn't want you to do anonymous SMB anymore, and with every version of Windows, Microsoft has made is more complicated to get it working like that. It's probably still possible, but easier just to make a quick local user account and assign it read/write permissions to the share. Samba on Linux can still do it without as much fuss, but I've long since just accepted the extra step.

Interesting. Never heard of that. It'd just be a guess, but I'm doubting this was a person familiar with that. Just a humorous oopsy.

I agree. One of my favorites. Feels like a Black Mirror episode. I watched another one recently called Companion that I'd recommend to anyone who likes Ex Machina.
