  • We can't even pump fuel anymore without holding a digital billboard (Netherlands)

    Jump

  • That’s how it used to be in my area. Amazon Fresh stores and Kohl’s stores and some grocery stores had free charging through Shell with these big signs showing ads. Now Shell is charging but double dipping with the ads too.

    But they have the absolute worst, unreliable network. I just tried charging tonight and the damn app didn’t even know there was a charger here. So I am watching the ads as I try to figure out how to pay to charge my car lol. Maybe that’s their trick since I can never seem to actually charge my car at one.

  • Guess they had to follow EVs lol. Some EV stations near me have big ass signs that show advertisements. It’s not enough you’re paying to charge your car, you also need to be shown more ads.

    I’m just grateful my car doesn’t show it inside.

  • Minecraft Bedrock on Bazzite

    Jump

  • Correct, to my knowledge, Java doesn’t play on console.

    A good alternative to this would be getting an iPad, iPhone, or Android device and playing from there which can do cross play with consoles. Those use the Bedrock edition as well. I sometimes would use my iPad and play with my ex’s son who was playing the Nintendo Switch which was Bedrock too.

    Java can only be played on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

  • Minecraft Bedrock on Bazzite

    Jump

  • To my knowledge, it can only be done using apps that will basically emulate the Android Bedrock version.

    I set this up on my Steam Deck so I could play with my ex’s son. I bought a copy on the Google Play Store and then I signed into Google in an app on my Steam Deck which downloaded Bedrock and then let me play, even using the Steam Deck’s native controls.

    That is the only way I am familiar with from my research.

    Microsoft has blocked Bedrock on desktop OSes besides Windows. I have tried on my Mac and Linux computers with this being the only successful way. You can play Java through their app without issue or jumping through hoops like this.

  • I was on 580 and had issues on CachyOS and Bazzite and Garuda Linux KDE Lite with an RTX 4080.

  • How do I keep a brand new one of these mats from wanting to keep curling up on the ends?

    Jump

  • You’re right about that. This was meant for walls so probably would get nasty and gunky quick when on the floor since it wasn’t designed for that.

    It makes me wonder if someone developed a special putty for this purpose though. Somehow public places like banks and government buildings keep these down and don’t had to deal with stubborn corners!

  • How do I keep a brand new one of these mats from wanting to keep curling up on the ends?

    Jump

  • I’ve heard some people doing the water + cup method where you damp the corner with water and then leave a cup on it and it will reposition the corner to stay down. But that is only when the corner has actually come up and you want to fix it and it sounds like you want to be proactive and prevent it from coming up in the first place?

    Perhaps there is some other type of adhesive you can use to keep it down but bring up when needed? My mom used to use this blue gum like substance that would hold things to the walls in her classroom. It didn’t leave residue and would come off with little ease on your part but keep things held onto the wall. That may work here? She used to get it from office supplies stores and it legit looks like gum. Can’t remember the exact name of it.

  • I really want to like Wayland since it seems to be the future, but I can’t when my computer keeps crashing from just using it.

    I’m still new to learning the difference between Wayland and x11. What are some of the features people like between the two of them?

  • Sony is Quietly Suggesting PS4 Players Upgrade to PS5 Consoles

    Jump

  • Where were they on launch and the years after? I was on the hunt for one to upgrade from my PS4. I joined Discord groups and followed Twitter accounts and joined Sony’s list to supposedly buy one directly from them. I ended up giving up with all the supply in my area being with scalpers for years.

    Oh well. Too little, too late, Sony.

  • it's a simple question

    Jump

  • Debian is your most basic Cheerio cereal. Cereal in a bowl with milk and a spoon. Ready for you to eat.

    Ubuntu came along and is all that plus berries, bananas, sugar, and many other toppings. They also give you a fork and knife if you want to eat using those as well as a napkin.

    If you like bananas on your Cheerios and nothing else, I mean, sure you can go with Ubuntu and get bananas on your Cheerios with milk and a bowl and spoon, but many people prefer to just go with Debian and then add bananas on top on their own because they don’t want everything else that comes with it. They may not hate it, it’s just going to be a waste of food to get all that extra stuff and have to remove it after the fact.

    For some people that only want bananas, they’ll go with Ubuntu because adding bananas on your cereal involves opening the banana and using a knife to cut the banana into slices. Ubuntu may use a machine to cut your bananas into perfect, equal slices, so some people want to go with Ubuntu for those reasons, whether it be because they’ve done the legwork or because they did it in a way that is the most clean method whereas you doing it ended up with you needing to redo the process 3 times and now you have little bits of excess bananas from your past failed attempts and not doing the best job cleaning it up.

    TL;DR: Ubuntu took Debian and added a bunch of stuff on top of it for their users. Some people like Ubuntu because of that and it makes it easier because Ubuntu included everything whereas some people want the source Debian because they will add their own stuff on their own the manual way.

  • What is immersion to you?

    Jump

  • Immersion for me is when you cross NPCs engaged in something that has either no relation or no involuntary relation to the playable character.

    I think of games like Elder Scrolls or Cyberpunk or Read Dead Redemption 1 & 2 where you can be walking somewhere and come across something in progress. Most immersive is when you can ignore the situation entirely if you choose to. Even more would be ignoring it and you never seeing it mentioned again in your playthrough. I’m not sure I can name any game that does this, in my experience. But I would love to play a game like that where I am on my way to something/somewhere and something interesting is happening and I have to make a choice to either experience this now before I never can ever again in this playthrough or keep going where I’m going. Kind of like real life and you see something crazy on the street going to work. If you don’t stop and look at that now, you will never see it again in your life unless it was recorded. You get a consequence of either missing out on work but seeing something crazy cool or the consequence of missing out on something crazy cool but making it on time for work.

    I also find myself most immersed when the devs create a world that feels lived in and with things that don’t have official explanations. I think RDR1 & 2 have done this so well. I’m a player who likes to go off the beaten path and explore anything and everything. Coming across a random hatch in the middle of a grassy meadow but is never explained in game is so fascinating to me and I’ll spend many minutes trying to find any clues about what this is in the area. Very much like the real world and walking through an alley and finding a burned out car or something that just doesn’t get seen often but gets you wondering about the backstory and checking the nearby area for clues to see what may explain how this got here.

  • Social gatherings have been... different since I switched.

    Jump

  • I feel like I’ll always have to make tweaks and it’ll never truly end. But I don’t say that in a bad way because I like learning and feel it’s akin to building my computer. Putting each piece together and doing the research into it helps me know better what went wrong when something breaks because I put it all together.

    With the OS, because I am learning different parts of it and making all these changes, I learn so much. I have learned so much about package managers and how to use them and their flags in this in distro hopping.

    But it’s no different than Windows because many of us were doing things to make the OS work for us and not against us like tweaks to use a local account or disable shit like Copilot in group policy.

  • Playback speed past X2 is now a YouTube paid feature

  • Same here. I’m sick of seeing people say stuff like “just pay for Premium bro”. Stfu. That’s like paying the mafia for “protection” from them. YouTube created these problems and now I have to pay them to fix it? Fuck no.

  • Nobody likes self checkouts

    Jump

  • I like it for other customers too.

    Nothing is worse than standing in line behind someone who is talking the ear off a cashier while you’re waiting to get your shit and get the fuck on with your day. Or them taking forever counting change or dealing with their obnoxious children or taking forever grabbing their shit and getting the fuck on.

    I never have to worry about that with self checkout. Especially since the lines are usually set up in a way that everyone waits for a self checkout to open than having a single line for each checkout. I suppose the fix for my secondary issue would be to do that for human cashiers too. Just one line waiting for any register to open up.

  • Kioxia exec says the AI boom means the era of the cheap 1TB SSD is over —company's NAND supply is sold out for this year and likely through 2027

  • Motherfuck…prices on Amazon for a 1TB are already over $120. I remember these being ~$60-$80.

    I just got a 2TB M.2 last year in May 2025 for $130.
