Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing, Oregon Trail, and Math Blaster were some of the first games I ever played. All very educational and also helped me understand computers.

How’s he gonna tell someone to say a word he won’t say?

And does saying a word make you black? I heard plenty of white people say it. Are they all black now?

I edited my original post right when you replied, my bad.

I dunno if you can do that much remotely, honestly. I kinda feel like something might have corrupted? What kinda system are you using? Any more details you can provide?

Does your router have an app or way of letting you remotely see if the server is even showing on your home network?? It could be a physical disconnect or Ethernet port failure, or NIC failure maybe? A reboot wouldn’t help if the issue was related to something like that.

Edit: Actually, re-read your post and thinking about this again, what I said wouldn’t make sense…

You could have some sort of corruption causing an error in the appdata, preventing it from running. Might be a RAM issue.

I get that. And I self host the things I care about. But for the average layman? I don’t see self hosting as a real option. Unless you are decently tech savvy, and have an aptitude for troubleshooting, most people aren’t gonna put in the time or effort of initial setup. Even if maintenance is minimal once it’s running. That first leap into self-hosted is daunting.

I think of it this way… would I expect my dad to be able to do it? Absolutely not. And my dad is decently tech savvy for 70.

All that useless reddit data.

Ah yes. Because that one Reddit users option holds equal weight to the thousands of professionals in the eyes of an LLM.

This is gonna get worse before it gets better.

Not familiar with the nextcloud side of things, but I just pulled all my photos from Google photos and imported them all to Immich. I’d imagine if you just have a folder full of images, it’d work the same way. During the Immich setup, you can designate an import folder. Point that import folder at your photos folder that you want to bring in. Once you have Immich up and running, you can use the terminal and run an import from the command line on that import folder. You’ll have to make an API key for the CLI to use, but you can make that in the settings. Immich doesn’t currently support mass importing from inside the UI, so this is the only way I’ve found to do it. The import ran fast for me though, went though 125gb of photos and videos in about 5 mins.

A good project manager can make all the difference. I’ve worked with shitty ones and great ones. Great ones are on top of the project, fielding questions and wrangling together key players. Shit ones don’t do any of that then get surprised on their own call when they are behind schedule.

Anyone have any idea what any of this actually means?

I think the point I was more getting at is that the bullshit that companies do is extremely subjective, and everyone has their own different things that they feel are important issues. But you’re not wrong. There is a lot of BS to keep track of.

And I’m thinking that if it’s related to something you do actually care about, you should be digging into it. Plenty of people are trying to mislead people all the time, and it’s so easy to get swept up in fake outrage if you don’t actually stop to question things.

That’s why a bunch of people are angry at a consulting firm for a bunch of different game studios right now. Because somebody literally just made a list of things for people to be mad at.

Do you really need a list to tell you what to buy and not buy?

I mean it really doesn’t take that much effort to avoid those companies you don’t like.

Keeping a community list seems stupid, everyone has different things they like and don’t like, and the gaming community isn’t a personal army, despite what others might think.

Such a great song. This whole soundtrack is really something else. I’ve never heard anything like it before.

This game flew under my radar till about a year ago and I’m still kicking myself for not playing it earlier.

Same boat here. My God it’s unbearable how bad YouTube premium is.

I don’t trust Google not to sneak in an unwanted payment. (Or a game fritzing out and doing a payment for me)

This doesn’t happen. You can just admit you don’t trust yourself not to spend more money.

I paid for it years ago when it was like $50 mostly because the interface was simple enough for my non tech savvy family to use.
