What in particular makes you think there’s not many of us on here? Not like Lemmy makes you state your age on your account.

I’m older GenZ “Zillennial”?

I’d like to think there’s a difference between “keeping up with the times” and chasing whatever new thing gets advertised.
Unless you’re really into number chasing with benchmarks then just keep using whatever you like until something YOU find better comes along.
Also I’m GenZ and just use whatever comes with the DE, it’s not an old person thing shakes fist.
It’s definitely not just a Lemmy thing just any site that grows a user base.
I kind off think of it like the difference between talking to random people at a local hobby space vs a national convention. Sure you’re gonna still find people with shared interests but you got more people coming in with an agenda or chip on their shoulder, Or just general trolls who target larger groups because it’s more people to get a rise out of.
But you’d have to consult some sociologist or someone for a in-depth factual answer, I’ve just been on a lot of random sites/forums over the years.
Honestly Lemmy has handled it’s growth a lot better than most places online I’ve seen. I’d say people on here are pretty raw but not actively spiteful (mostly), which I very much vibe with.
Not all the time, some mod creators lock their stuff behind a paywall. But also a few modders a while back started taking down their own mods official downloads so it was up to others to keep archives.
That’s what a lot of people were using the ModPiracy subreddit for but it kept being taken down and migrating to new subs.
Awesome! thanks, I’m sorta living under a rock these days when it goes to video game news.
As someone who doesn’t follow the Halo series, what is this? an older canned game or some new unreleased thing?
TempleOS is the only OS corpos won’t touch, It’s protected by a holy shield!
My personal experience has been hit n miss.
Was using one 4TB Seagate for 11 years then bought a newer model to replace it since I thought it was gonna die any day. That new one died within 6 months. The old one still works although I don’t use it for for anything important now.
The average person thinks digital = magic! and marketers/governments, etc are well aware of that, and will abuse that fact anytime they can.
Ever had to explain to someone that “the cloud” isn’t a physical cloud in the sky keeping their passwords & nudes safe? I have way too many times.
Somehow missed your reply until now.
They dropped support on the Linux version forever ago and moved to Easy Anticheat which DOES support being used through Proton but the devs won’t enable it.
For me that game was Rust and it was more ‘Maybe for the best if I don’t touch that game again’
Didn’t have a dedicated day for it but I used to hang out around the office my mother worked at if dad was on late shift.
I was put “in charge” of the printer and paper shredder.
I ended up actually working at that company in my early 20s after my mother had already left. The Boss and I.T. guy who still worked there joked about my “previous experience at the job”.
Gonna steal an idea from Karl Pilkington and leave a dishwasher somewhere on Mars for one of the rovers to find.
14yo me spent all day waiting for extended cut of the original Dawn of the Dead to download only to find out at 2am it was an Italian dub.
At least my experience on KDE the system theme option barely seems to work for GTK programs.
Even tho I specifically went out of my way to get a dark GTK theme in the system settings.
I play and mod a lot of older games most of which aren’t on Steam, so getting some of them running takes a bit more manual effort especially if they require a 3rd party patch to run on modern hardware.
Normally it’s pretty simple like declaring some extra DLL files, But sometimes I’m jumping through hoops trying to get some old installer than hasn’t been updated since 2009 to run…
I’ve had more success than failures though, Wine is pretty amazing imo.
Who’da thunk it.
Modern meaning a GTK app?
The only other DAW I’ve used before Ardour was Reaper and I got my head around Ardours Ui a lot quicker on my first go.
As someone who still plays a lot of 2000s and early 2010s video games, The ‘piss filter’ can stay in the past. And I go out of my way to disable it anytime I can.
For anyone who doesn’t know, look up gameplay of Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005) and noticed the heavy yellow tint over the entire screen. So many games from around that era of gaming had heavy handed colour filters. Not always piss yellow but that was a popular one.
This one ^
The physical comedy alone is gold, Also you won’t leave their parents dealing with the nightmares like some of these movies…unless they really fear someone breaking in to piss on their rug.
