Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

With some content appearing as “digital only”, finding dvd box sets can’t get you a full collection, and aren’t the only thing that can be done in defiance of streaming companies letting you see what they want you to see.
Of course the New Yorker can’t publish this, but there is another de-centralized content distribution system to help preserve digital media, if you catch my drift, matey.
Simplest place to start for any linux program troubleshooting is to get logs, and search-fu the errors. You want to try to decipher in the logs what the critical error is within all the lines, and why that might be.
One common example is a file not found error. Very often what file is missing is written, so you can search why that file is missing or you may be able to intuit it yourself.
A word of caution: when asking for help from people on forums, a tech whiz yoh know, discord or Lemmy, make sure you say clearly what it is you ultimately want, and what step doesn’t go right and how, that sent you troubleshooting. When searching, boiling down the search terms is important, but when asking people, context and the ultimate goal is very important. In the example, it’s not that you’re looking for the missing file, you’re trying to get a certain game to work and it crashes at the start, or whatever.
I wonder if we are going to get Sonic the Hedgehog: The Movie: The Game.
If we ever do, then someone needs to mod in first trailer Sonic in.
Based on ATX standards https://xdevs.com/doc/Standards/ATX/ATX12V_Power_Supply_Design_Guide_Rev1.1.pdf,
Each 12V circuit from the PSU should deliver around 150W and definitely not more than 240VA (over current protection kick in rating). One cord runs on that single circuit so it can’t deliver more than that much power. I experienced this when I foolishly thought I could reduce cable clutter building my friends’ PC, only to realize the 3080 ran terribly and was drawing about 150W, not unlike OP, except in my case it was clear this was the issue.
The word “slam” has been reserved for headlines of someone giving minor criticism, can’t use that unfortunately.
Just that game or all games performing poorly?
Just that game: verify or reinstall the game.
Other games too: if it’s a software issue, check Graphics Driver? For potential hardware issues, check if a GPU power cable is loose, reseat it, and make sure you don’t have two pcie power connectors from the same cable connected to both ports.
The very first thing I checked for is which circuit it was, too, haha…
Of course the Loper Bright decision is going to be used to prevent federal agencies with helping improving anything. Judges be like “You can’t rein in this corporate abuse because there’s an app for it, bro. Totally different!”
Well this is a more or less solved problem in BC:

The gig worker min wage is 20% more than min wage to account for the “non-engaged time”.
Happy new year and welcome to Lemmy!
TL:DR; Reddit sucked, I got bored when it was offline. Lemmy has similar moderation BUT a transparent modlog. Post grouping, more niche communities I’d like to see.
I had first heard about Mastodon in early 2022, but since I wasn’t into Twitter-style posting I kind of forgot about it and moved on.
The quality of discussions I was having on Reddit had noticeably declined over the years, and top posts were bots posting reposts, and the top comments under those posts started to become straight up copied from past top comments.
Compact mode got turned off, and later the apps had an outage in March 2023, so it was actually out of boredom when I had stumbled across Lemmy for the first time. It was a tiny thing of around a few hundred active users across all sites then.
API pricing scandal happened a few months later, my distaste for Reddit increased and simultaneously Lemmy’s popularity exploded. So for June I made it my transition period to convince others to join, and in July I made my farewell post, swearing never to post or comment on Reddit ever again. I peek into Reddit on occasion but Lemmy had fully replaced my Reddit habit by September.
Conversations here have been far more lively, nuanced, mature. It doesn’t always happen, as there are immature clowns and trolls here like anywhere, but we have reasonable people who are able to have a productive conversation while having positions at odds with each other. This virtually never happened on Reddit.
Tip for you, there are some types of comments allowed on some communities but banned or frowned upon on others. If you get a comment removed, check the modlog, filtering for your username as to why it may be. It may feel like censorship or power tripping, but at least it is more open and transparent. You can make an account on another server or post on different communities, if it’s simply a matter of differing philosophies with the controlling admins.
I’d want to see grouping features of communities, and also there are a number of bounties on features that would be great to see. Development isn’t fast so I just have to be patient. More niche topics would be cool to have.

I used to call some relatives but the list I had dwindled then the last people became too hard of hearing to call.
Hey you bring up a good point. I consider it innovative because they are trying to develop a non-Microsoft owned IP story/lore behind the Stormgate characters, even if in terms of game mechanics they are trying to achieve “Starcraft 2 with a new coat of paint and business model”.
Beyond All Reason (open source with FOSS engine), Stormgate (proprietary but made by ex-SC2 devs) are separate attempts at what I would call innovating the RTS genre.
AoE2 DE by Microsoft is tried, true and super popular still but many aspects are still from the original game 20 years ago. AoE 4 seems to kind of be the attempt at improving the formula, seems okay.
The Starcraft 2 engine is amazing but now under Microsoft ownership, I was hopeful initially but it looks as though it will continue to be left to rot. If only they could give it a Halo makeover using the same engine that would be awesome.
The mining situation is very sad to me. Money mostly from international sources, pretending to be Canadian by headquartering their mining company in Canada due to lax reporting rules, to operate mines outside of the country so as not to be beholden to Canadian labour law, and human rights oversight.
Go ahead, also the [email protected] community is this way for complaints.
W10 has gotten to a point to where it’s alright but not amazing (particularly because SSDs are more standard as OS drives, and can handle the constant read/writes Windows 10 does to it). Feel free to stay but we’ll still be here to support you, when you’re ready to dive in fully, when Microsoft inevitably leaves you behind in support.
W11 is a spyware riddled mess. People need to be made aware of alternatives so they think it’s not the only option when W10 support is dropped.
Using contextual clues, this person’s 😏 face tells you they are messing with you.
Back in 2015 I used the emulator “1964” to play some MarioKart64 and it ran well on a very weak computer, fwiw.
