  • Did you get streaming services to stream 4k? That was some bullshit I discovered when I bought my first 4k TV, that streaming services artificially limit quality for browser and Linux streaming.

    What is you solution for remote controlling? I used one of this mini keyboard+mouse combo in a shape of controller, but mine was really trash. Most of the time I used a good mouse that worked ok on the couch surface and some mouse binds to pop up a virtual keyboard. But I was never completely happy with the solution.

  • At launch and for a good while PS3 came with a boot to Linux enabled by default, some universities around the globe bought some "from the shelf" to make some server farm and such.

  • Also people who like to DIY seem to forget that a lot of people want a turn-key solution, I even dare to say that most people prefer a ready made solution. Even a lot of people who work in tech when they get home want a just work solution.

  • I wish there was a client that you could easily create and toggle block lists. So you can have a politic block list but enable or disable whatever you feel like.

  • When I first started playing Ragnarok Online, there was this one item, aí believe it was something like bat wings, that was really valuable and when you used you would teleport to a random place in the same map/sections. I thought it was a shit item, but soon enough I understood that its power was to run away from problems when you are low on health.

    So I think it still is a good power.

  • Instead you cannot stop staring at their boobs. And yes, that includes your family, bosses and so on.

  • Underhand Is a card game that I really liked, you have like a cult and you have to awake an old god. I liked the humor and the story and the cards.

    Stranger Things: 1984 As others mentioned, it is a really solid old-school adventure "RPG", kinda vibe of A Link to the Past. Really felt like a SNES game. But as others mentioned it changed name and it seems that now you need a Netflix account to play it, before it had not restriction.

    This is just a honorable mention because it is not available anymore on the play store, but The Witch's Isle was really nice, one of this point and click adventures, nice graphics and all. Not sure why it is not available, and it was free years ago, But it is on steam at least if you are curious.

    I wish I had other games to recommend, but I also struggled to find good games and specially ones that are in portrait which I think would be better for casual gaming on the go.

  • That is because "left and right" conflate too much in the same name and depending on what you are thinking they may be right wing or not. I feel like tankies, in regard of social policies are more left wing, for economic policies it may be right or left wing depending on how you see it, but on the control, political, democratic policies they are right wing, because they are more authoritarian.

  • This isn't even the worst problem. O think the biggest one is proprietary blob drivers, that kills the possibility of keep your phone updated and a general solution that works for most phones instead of an ad-hoc hack for each one.

  • Are judges in the US elected? I know some are appointed. In some countries they are career public servants. They pass an exam and dispute with other candidates, so they are experts in their field that went in a public selection process.

  • The article says 4 out of 5. Maybe OP was mistaken or the article corrected at some point.

  • I hate cars and love walkable cities as much as the next guy in this community, but this comparison is just nonsense.

    If the only thing you do and are comparing is 4 trips a month to the grocery store that is in walkable distance you are not spending $200 a month on gas and probably also less on maintenance and stuff. And if you are only doing that you also don't need the newest and best car.

    I feel like this type of bad faith analogies just hurts the message.

  • A camera bump in a camera bump is definitely a choice.

  • I am not from Canada, but my country for decades has been using speed cameras and I think I can give a perspective about them being "tax grab".

    The answer is, it depends on the situation, but in my country most of them are NOT tax grab. You can tell when they are when the cameras (or the police officer) and the speed limit is done in a way to trick people. One such case is when the speed limit is lowered (usually in highways) but there is limited signage and/or effort to inform the public about the change, so drivers that are used to the road ended going at the old speed without noticing. Another case is when there is an abrupt change of speed limit, some times over a corner or even without and change in the road that would make sense the limit change, or even if it is a limit change that makes sense but they put the camera right at the change when a lot of people have not yet have time to slow down.

    So I feel like, if the speed cameras in a place are tax grab the solution is not to remove them but position them where they make sense.

  • That is true. I also was luck enough to have a friend that didn't mind at all to pick me up out of his way even if just as a companion to do errands and stuff. Otherwise the distance would be a problem.

  • That is so true. It is like a silver lining. I may be procrastinating but I am helping and spending some quality time with a friend.

  • I love this type of bonding with friends and used to do it a lot. The problem is you have to live or be kinda close by, but I guess that is true for any less formal meetup. I guess the furthest away you are the more "a thing" the meetup must be and the duration longer.

    In any case I love do errands with friends and even go help out with something. Even though I don't have time and energy for my stuff I feel like energy for hanging out with friends doing errands como from a different bucket.

  • I think the person is not implying that by going with the person doing an errand you also have to spend money. You are going as a companion.

  • He has a number of good movies. I guess because the most popular means visible movies are his slop comides for the whole family his "real" movies kinda goes under the radar.

    Uncut gems is a masterpiece but I wanna mention Spaceman because it is fantastic. It is kinda the opposite of Uncut gems, if the first is like fast pace on the edge of you seat that you spend the whole movie holding your breath that shit is about to hit the fan, Spaceman is super slow and introspective, big great nonetheless.
