I thought it had to be a joke article from the title. Yeesh wouldn’t want to be the person who gets the fallout from this idea.

Going back awhile now too for that no install right? Like didn’t PS3 have some installs? My memory is fuzzy on when it exactly started, but yeah it was nice to just pop in the media (cart, disc) and play. That was a great perk of console games, especially rentals,though there was a small time I could rent PC games when I moved to a city in the late 90s. These days I mostly play on PC anyways so always install but it was nice for the first few decades of my gaming to not require it.

I thought the pulling the wearer into the other realm was part of the lore, that’s why it wouldn’t work the same on elves or a wizard, they are already part of that realm. So I’m agreeing I just thought I saw on tolkienfans it was the intended reading of the situation but I can’t remember if it was just theory from letters or something he wrote about.

Also why Frodo saw such a bright light when rescued at the Ford, he saw the elf, Glorifindal? As he was in the other realm. Also showed why that elf couldn’t go on the quest with them, he’d be like a beacon.

Also they were on similar level, Gandalf and the balrog, it’s a boss enemy he’d be on fairly equal footing if he was allowed to be his full divine abilities. The rest may have been able to take it on if they were willing to die, since I believe that’s the only way that balrogs were killed in the past by great elf warriors.

Soon it’ll be, ’ give birth in our facilities then you can work when you’re finished with labour, don’t worry we can provide education and daycare as long as you sign an indentured servitude for you and the new employee’.

What sort of toolbar do you mean? Actually curious because I just use my taskbar for shortcuts and the number that minimize to the system tray. I’ve been wondering about other uses it could have. I will Google it too but always nice to have random people’s uses as well. Have a Linux vm setup through hyper v and been trying to learn more.

I’ve only dabbled in Linux, I can figure out things for the most part but never used it beyond some fiddling, but I didn’t realize that desktop environments had that many specific applications. I always thought beyond some default apps most apps wouldn’t depend on the desktop environment but after some reading seems like they use similar dependencies.

So if this gets seen, can most/many/any general kde apps work under a different environment if you install the dependencies or do you absolutely need the environment for them to work? Does that also follow for other desktop environments? Been reading up on DEs to get a dual boot or virtual install going in the future and this was something I hadn’t realized may make one DE stand out.

As someone with minimal pokemon knowledge, only played two due to being older and not having Nintendo consoles really, I thought this game was a spin off till I realized no big pokemon or Nintendo logo anywhere. They must have threaded the needle to avoid that copyright infringment.

The problem with stuff like flow charts is that when you do a new feature that changes the chart then there’s another chunk of time to update that document. If you’re really interested in that all you can really do is make your own as you go through software and you’ll see usual patterns how different code areas interact. it’s not as useful as figuring it out on your own or studying design paradigms.

I ordered a similar one but in 97 in Canadian dollars, near Aug for University. The 17" flat screen (crt flat) alone was $1400, I think the total was close to $4k.

This does seem a bit on the high side though I agree. I think mine was a P2 200, 32MB RAM and matrix millennium card. Maybe their processor was the top end at the time which could account for a higher price. I think that hard drive was really big for the time, 8GB in 98? I may be misremembering too.

Narcassists always want to frame things so it doesn’t sound like they did anything wrong. Why everyone needs to be educated to see these actions for what they are, a flailing billionaire that thinks everyone should just agree with them cause they’re rich and give them more money, least in this instance.

So I only watch YouTube on my PS4 since I watch it on my gaming TV. Are these ads the two they want to show while watching a video, usually around 6 mins between ads, though that seems to change depending how popular the uploader is, maybe settings from the uploaders too, I dunno the specifics but have been curious. Many times can skip in the second one after 5 seconds, first one is usually 15, but they seem to play around with it, sometimes skip the first ad after 5 or sometimes have to watch 2 x 15 second ones, or is there another ad rotation on PC I’m not aware of? I’m just curious since I rarely do a PC one but they are annoying. Annoying to the point I mute and consciously don’t watch anything on the screen except for the ad skip being available. Usually hit it but sometimes stuffing the vaporizer I miss the first one then have to wait for the second to become available.

Personally it’s not horrible but it’d be nice if I knew ahead of time which format they wanted. I’m also older,I assume if something was done like this in the 90s we’d be seeing full ad breaks like that time in broadcasting so I’ve been beaten down by ad acceptance as much as I try and ignore them. Trying to say even if it bothers me I sort of got used to ads all the time anyways.

Well shame on me, I won’t do it again wink. Just was reading comments on Microsoft ending WordPad and someone mentioned ‘as long as a browser is bundled’. Heh how times change.

For those that don’t know Microsoft had an anti trust suit or something like that due to IE being a part of the OS. Though to be fair it’s pretty hard to get your preferred browser without one to use, but probably not good to be too integrated with the OS rather than an optional component. Wonder how close Bing is to that these days, new computer at work is constantly showing Bing in the start menu like this is my computer not your fucking search results.

Wasn’t there an anti trust or monopoly suite against Microsoft for bundled IE back in the day? Funny how times change, though I agree it’s not easy to get a preferred browser without one. Mean it never was overly simple but they were on so many CDs mailed out back then. Think it has to do with some IE and Windows integration too so not just cause they bundled it.

So with wildfires in Canada there’s evacuation zones near me, but I can’t click on some announcement links from the main site that shows the evacuation zones because they go to twitter and you need to log in now. I think they show some on other pages on the site but they do the quicklink to the twitter announcement in the sidebar so you have to click around a bit to get to it. Yes I know the name but whatever. My point being is when the social media site that was meant for short bits of info isn’t good for emergency notifications where everyone can read, it’s shitty and potentially harmful.

Guess it’s a good thing my case has a slider that blocks the camera. They can tell where but not what. Though with mic they can probably tell what most of the time too for me, yay for spying on me watching cartoons and playing video games. Now that I typed it I realized how little had changed in 30 years, thankfully there’s new of both to enjoy.

Learn, study, figure out how to be a better person, see if I can figure out one of the universe’s mysteries. Put effort towards helping others. Or play video games.

That’s why I always have an Archie comic or Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader next to my toilets. I read enough random bottles growing up.

Same here, I think I posted like two things in my 15 years of Reddit to ask a question but I did comment now and then. I imagine it’ll be similar on Lemmy, as much as it needs content I got nothing to really add.
