  • That's not the point they're making.

    As you add more issues, then the Venn diagram of overlap of all the issues gets smaller and smaller. It doesn't matter if you think this is an obvious objective truth. What matters is what other people think, because you won't have much of a "movement" without other people who agree and join you.

  • It's a strength check. It takes the might of Thor to squeeze the plug enough, in a tight space, at an odd angle, behind the computer.

  • Volume [Mr Lovenstein]

    Jump

  • For anyone who might find this useful:

    Kodi is great for normalising volume and I try to use Kodi for Plex and YouTube on the TV:

    Try adjusting the Volume to about -20 dB and the Volume Amplification to +30 dB. The latter will compress the audio as it increases volume to avoid peaks, and will effectively "flatten" the volume contour a bit. Adjust the values to your taste.

    The other thing that has really helped is having a good Bluetooth speaker. If the kids are playing and being noisy in the room while I'm trying to watch TV, then sound is much clearer if the speaker is right next to me rather than trying to turn up the volume to drown out other noises.

  • Have a look through this list. There are so many great games that hold up really well today.

  • PSP has such a great games library and emulates so well on phones. I owned a PSP back in the day and played it constantly, but still I feel like I'm getting so much out of the games I didn't play back then.

    Try China Town Wars. It's disappointing that top down games like that don't get made more often.

  • Agree with all that. "The year of Linux" will be built up to incrementally; and the fact that gaming is so good on Linux pushes that a long way.

    The Steam Deck is what pushed me to change to full-time PC Linux myself. Having hardware with pre-installed Linux that works flawlessly has been great.

  • Mine was a pre-release preorder as well.

    I wouldn't upgrade it now. Knowing me, I'll probably end up waiting till 2027 and buy a secondhand device from 2026.

    I mostly play indie 2D games, so games I want still work fine. The revised Deck has a bunch of improvements I would have liked (OLED, WiFi 6, etc). If there are enough improvements in usability (screen, WiFi, size, battery, hardware power), then I'll upgrade and give the old device to my kids (who currently use it for more than 75% of the time anyway).

  • I hope so too, but I don't think a shift that big is coming any time soon.

    Linux users are still a tiny proportion of the online player base. Steam Deck sales are negligible compared to Switch or console sales.

    I hope it happens eventually,but I think it's going to take much longer for AAA gaming corps to take Linux seriously.

  • Hyped about the devices we're going to see over the next year or so. Should be just in time to replace my first release Steam Deck as a noticeable upgrade.

  • Your inaction

  • What's your method of enjoying (or at least tolerating) physical exercise?

    Jump

  • If you're looking for a "life hack" to make any exercise instantly enjoyable, then that's really not going to happen.

    But you sound like you're motivated to start exercising so that's great. You can add this in layers to make this genuinely enjoyable:

    1. find something you like (for me: weight lifting and squash are fun. Running and swimming are hell)
    2. Decide on a fixed time (for me: 10pm every day is designated for exercise)
    3. Make it as simple as possible and remove as many barriers as possible (for me: I don't sit to watch TV or play video games close to exercise time, otherwise I know I'm not going to get up again. I put on exercise clothes when I get home from work so I'm already ready when the time comes).
    4. Add something else that's really enjoyable (For me: I have a TV series that I only watch when I'm in the gym. So if I want to find out what happens next, I'll have to go to the gym tomorrow.)
    5. Make this routine (once you're habituated to doing this regularly, then it stops taking will power to force yourself and is just embedded in your routine)
    6. Forgive yourself for missing sessions (any time you miss a session, it doesn't matter, you'll start making progress again any time you start exercising again)
    7. Make it social (some people love this and you can do exercise with someone. I personally hate that and I love the meditative solitude of exercise time)

  • Is there a community dedicated for serious discussion?

    Jump

  • I haven't found any. Anything of that sort would need heavy handed and laborious moderation and would lend itself to quite a lot of bias from moderators. Your best bet is to do this sort of thing locally with a small group of friends (or internet friends).

  • You're welcome to do that, but learn to do it properly. If you're just looking to preach and be outraged, then you're part of the problem. You can't change others, but you can change yourself.

    I personally love podcasts. I'll always be able to recommend from there:

    You Are Not So Smart: 306 - I Never Thought of it That Way - Mónica Guzmán (rebroadcast). Episode webpage and Media file

    If a black man can make friends with the most racist KKK members, and actually get them to change their minds through conversation, then there's hope for anyone.

  • Here's a tip for how I've improved my social media experience greatly:

    Stick to a rule of 1 comment and no further replies.

    Strangers online are not going to be convinced by your point of view and there is nothing to gain from getting into a back and forth conversation. Unless it's a particularly positive or productive conversation about a particular interest you share....there's nothing to gain from arguing online and lots of potential mental damage you risk.
