Can I ask, what is the advantage of a Debian server over a True Nas one? Asking because I set up True Nas and wondering if I should switch it to Debian

Tarantino has a history of putting people down like this. I’ll admit that I was not the biggest fan of Paul Dano in this movie either. He is very unlikeable, but that is also the point. His character is supposed to be annoying and a pest to Daniel Day-Lewis, so in that way he actually nailed this role.

It’s very odd that Tarantino says these kinds of things considering he is something of a Hollywood legend and gains nothing from attacking actors. I suspect there is a deep insecurity in him despite all his success. I remember him putting himself in prominent roles in his early movies, but now he doesn’t do anything more than a cameo. Probably some jealousy that he does not get to be the star of the show.

I use a PS controller. Best part is you can choose what the buttons do and create actions

Loaded Linux onto a spare desktop and use Freetube now with a VPN

I loved SmartTube, but I moved away from my Android TV when Google started saying they are not going to allow side loading apps. Google has walked back that policy a bit, but I am much happier now with my alternatives and the knowledge that Google can’t wreck them with their future bull shit.

That said SmartTube is a goat and it is sad to hear that such a great app has been compromised like this.

What

Fuck you, take the account

My vote here is a PC with Linux on it. I have a PC plugged into my TV that runs Bazzite. Got it for $170 at the second hand store. It’s even powerful enough to game on and I can connect a bluetooth controller

People will get killed in these things. I don’t trust a computer to drive me safely home. Give me a train or a bus instead driven by a real person.

I am a dad to two young kids. I know other guys my age that are recent dads and some of them do seem to struggle to adjust. I hear about their wives complaining about how they are constantly golfing or still going out a lot.

Another commenter here mentioned that having kids changes you and I 100% agree with that. I don’t drink now, I drive like an old man in the name of safety, I spend almost every night at home with my kids and I take them out on the weekends, I cut my hours at work so I can help my wife more often, I don’t watch sports because my kids won’t sit still long enough to watch a game and want to play. My life now is about these kids. I used to think that people that based their lives solely around their kids had no life, but now that I have these kids I appreciate the sacrifices you make to be a parent. All of these changes I realize are better for me too.

You can talk philosophically about how to raise kids, but I think the number one quality of a good parent is being present for your kids and being willing to adjust your life to what they need. Growing up the number one thing I noticed about kids that had bad relationships with their parents was their parents not being around, whether it be work or whatever else. You gotta be willing to dedicate your time to kids over all else, and if you can’t do that, it will be hard to be a good parent.

Not good enough. Google showed their hand and they will try this garbage again at a later date

The new stadiums are another factor that really is ruining sports for me. In my city they are building a new one for the hockey team and it is mostly paid by taxes. So our property taxes are going to sky rocket to build this thing and then they will jack up the game ticket prices so we cannot even afford to go to games.

They sold it to the public as this was going to be a community building, which is such garbage. Am I going to be able to go down there when no games are happening and skate on the rink? Of course not

Last year I went to the league championship of my local lower level pro soccer club. Tickets were $40 each for good seats and it was a sell out. Our team won and it was honestly a blast.

I don’t know that I would have had a better time at a top tier pro sports final that would have cost thousands to attend.

I’m glad you brought this up, because this is another great point related to the time suck. I have two kids now and every hour I spend watching sports is an hour not spent with my kids or being an absent parent. Makes it hard to justify.

Recently too I had a brother in law who skipped his infant sons first time trick or treating because his team was in the World Series. It was a big topic of debate for our family.

I have played it multiple times and it has never hooked me. I keep meaning to go back, but I don’t know if I will

So I’m going to put this out there, why watch this content on a Android that we will have less and less control over as time goes on?

Grab a laptop with Linux on it and go wild. I now have a computer hooked up to my TV and I don’t have to worry about any of Google’s bullshit

This is the type of bullshit bullies say to try to make themselves feel like they are not so bad. If you are a bully, or ever were a bully, you were scum. Accept it.

There is no justification for treating people horrible. If you are having bad things happen to you, it says more about your character if you are able to stop yourself from treating people the same way. Break the cycle.

GTA 6 was something I was already planning to avoid. I’m sure it will be a technological achievement, but the fact that this game took close to a decade and a half to come out, I moved on from the idea of a new GTA game long ago.

Rockstar was happy to milk GTA 5 for that whole time rather than making new games the fans wanted. Sure RDR2 was released, but were fans really only wanting one game in a decade plus? Of course not. Why make a new game when you can make money from micro transactions in your current one. Basically acting like GTA landlords and expecting continued money while offering no real value to an old game. They even put a casino in GTA online, in case you needed a clearer idea of what their priorities are now.

GTA 6 will probably have a great story mode, but the GTA online garbage is coming too, guaranteed. It would not surprise me if the online components even find a way into the single player story. Not to mention the size this game will be on your system. I bet 200 gb - 300 gb and the probably higher price tag.

Now Rockstar is union busting. This is on top of all the toxic work environment flak they got for over working their employees in the RDR2 development.

Fuck you Rockstar, I don’t need a new game from you.

I’m having issues getting the microphone on my sony headphones to work on my steam deck. I was figuring it is due to missing drivers as well

Relationships end for a reason. When you breakup it’s important to always remember why you broke up. It’s easy to only remember the good parts and that is often how people get sucked back in again to the same relationships and the same kinds of people.

Keep remembering what the breaking point was and how you felt at the worst times. Doing that makes it easier for yourself to rationalise why you are not together.

Also total separation is key. No willing contact again ever. If they are gone completely, then it will be easier to move on.
