Faildini@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?English5·2 months agoYeah Proton is definitely the way to go over using Wine directly. Valve has put a ton of work into making it seamless. I have a large steam library and have found literally only one game (Destiny 2) that doesn’t work. And that’s just because Bungie has gone out of their way to make sure it won’t run on Linux for “anti cheating” reasons.
Faildini@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•[Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance ProblemsEnglish2·2 months agoI’ve gotten a lot of freezing and stuttering playing on my desktop PC (Linux with Proton). The deck actually seems to be more stable, though it is locked to 30 fps and textures still take a minute to load sometimes.
Faildini@lemmy.worldto Games@lemmy.world•[Digital Foundry] Oblivion Remastered PC: Impressive Remastering, Dire Performance ProblemsEnglish6·2 months agoI’ve been playing it on steam deck, it’s definitely playable but I wouldn’t call it smooth.

Faildini@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Does anyone here actually use (or know someone that use) flip-able/foldable smartphones?1·3 months agoMy wife loves her Jelly phones, she’s had two now over the years, and they are TINY. So much so I can’t even type on them, her hands are way smaller than mine. I think the screen is like 3x2 inches.
This article misses the point. The reason there are no good billionaires isn’t that they change their politics and morality to whatever drives profits. It’s because they have amassed more wealth than they can ever possibly need, while others suffer and die who could be saved by that wealth. If you have billions of dollars that you could have given to the needy and instead you’re sitting on your hoard like a fucking dragon, you have failed morally. tldr: billionaires are dragons and we need more dragonslayers
Faildini@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What HATED or highly disliked movie you ACTUALLY really enjoyed?7·6 months agoI don’t think this is really a hot take. I know quite a few star wars fans and most of them (including me) love Solo, even those who can’t stand any of the other new movies.
Faildini@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•I don't understand why underbaked borderline raw cookies are such a popular trend.English81·10 months agoFirst of all, that cookie looks absolutely baller. Secondly, damn you I’m going to get crumbl cookies now and fucking up my diet lol
Just got this thing last week, I love it so far. Still haven’t figured out how to make good use of the back paddles on PC, but even without those it’s a great controller.
Faildini@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•State laws are factoring into college choices for young adults156·1 year agoI mean…duh? Basically the entire point of having different laws in different states is that people can choose what laws they want to live under. No one should be surprised that young people are considering that when choosing colleges.
The art of the insult has truly declined over the centuries.
Faildini@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Elon Musk to advertisers boycotting X: "Go f**k yourself"2·2 years agoSure, but don’t let that stop you from insulting him. The activity is its own reward.
Faildini@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•‘Pure greed:’ Etiquette expert explains why tipping has gotten out of control9·2 years agoI wouldn’t say it’s great even there. If you want people to pay 20% more for their food so your workers can get paid, just list that on the menu. Raise all food prices 20% and pay the wait staff a decent wage. Customers pay the same in the end and your staff isn’t dependent on customer generosity to make a living.
I’m going to buck the trend here and advise the more conservative position. I took a developer job in the insurance industry right out of college, and I have no regrets. The work is rarely exciting, but it’s stable and not very demanding. I have great work life balance. And developer jobs in non tech related industries seem to be largely immune to the upheavals and layoffs currently affecting the tech world.
Faildini@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•Nashville college freshman Jillian Ludwig dies after being hit by a stray bullet at a local park1·2 years agoHigh rates of gun ownership is neither a necessary nor sufficient condition for high rates of homicide. “Necessary” would imply that high homicide rate is flat out impossible without high gun ownership, which is clearly not true.
Faildini@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•I can barely tell the difference between 60 and 165 hz on my monitorEnglish2·2 years agoTwice the refresh rate means twice the frames, so I’m twice as productive.
Or at any rate, that’s what I’m telling my job to try to get them to buy me a high spec gaming monitor.
Faildini@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Pilot who ‘tried to shut off engines mid-flight was high on magic mushrooms’English1·2 years agoIs it though? My understanding is that a murder charge requires intent to cause harm. Causing death without intent would be manslaughter. If someone is out of their mind in a panic attack and tries to shut down the plane so he could get to the ground, it would hard to prove he intended harm to the other passengers. They probably weren’t even in his thoughts.
Not a lawyer though, my understanding could be flawed.
This happened to me once (with deer ticks, not lone star) while I was having a nice walk in the woods high on shrooms. Worst trip of my life.
