The Meaning of Life in c/atheism@lemmy.world
[–] eramseth@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Here is some good reading. We used it in an upper level philosophy course by the same name

I forgot to do my bi-monthly furnace filter change, until right now. in c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world

I'll go ahead and toast you on this one.

We tested the Nvidia App performance problems — games can run up to 15 percent slower with the app in c/games@lemmy.world

I don't think you're understanding. The testing they did was presumably fine and the performance hit is probably unacceptable. But mentioning but not testing the scenarios of

  • app installed but not running
  • app installed and running but overlay turned off

Is kinda mailing it in.

As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Thanks this is really interesting. Literally hadn't heard of this before.

Can you explain this? Never heard of it.

Trump to discuss ending childhood vaccination programs with RFK Jr. in c/news@lemmy.world

I too have been hoping for his usual fascist, use-then-discard tendencies to kick in.

We did not vote overwhelmingly for him. He barely won.

What is a relatively inexpensive 'luxury' item that you will always purchase for any future house? in c/homeimprovement@lemmy.world
[–] eramseth@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Smart lighting.

Specifically Philips Hue with the switches that look like normal switches/dimmers.

The bulbs are pricey but I've had some of them for 10-15 years. Still going strong.

After 10 years in development, No Man's sky feels half finished in c/games@lemmy.world

I guess you didn't bother with any of the story lines then?

Are you claiming Terraforming Mars the board game adaptation is like No Man's Sky in some way?

I really like both but they are not similar on almost any way except both having a "space theme"...

What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] eramseth@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Just to be clear, what was discontinued was the official gui app.

Binaries are still updated and developed. The other gui app, syncthing-fork, still exists.

Throwback to reddit serving posts / ads from blocked users because $$$ (lemmy.world)
 

This was from around 3 weeks ago. I pretty religiously (pun intended) blocked and reported ads from the "hegetsus" fundie christian bs group for probably 6-8 months. Naively I thought it actually started making a difference.

Then I just get served an ad from them with a little note that this was "Posted from a blocked account".

"Blocked"... you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means...

Can we talk about Asteroid City (lemmy.world)
 

I really like nearly all of Wes Anderson's work. I heard someone say this was like Wes Anderson trying to make a Wes Anderson movie... and I agree. Not that that's a bad thing, but things can often come across a little cheesy when someone knowingly "turns it up to 11" so to speak.

Also, it felt like this was (perhaps arguably) Anderson's most "meta" film. Again, not terrible, but also very on the nose and not very subtle.

All said, I do feel like I would like to watch it a few more times before really cementing where I put it among Anderson's other work. Right now it's probably mid-tier for me.

Love to hear other people's thoughts.

Anyone like Wingspan? (lemmy.world)
 

Finally got the Wingspan Nesting Box. It fits all the current expansions and has room for the future. I swear it must clock in at like 20lbs.

Still a little annoyed that all the Wingspan stuff that holds sleeved cards won’t fit the mote or less widely available and “standard” sleeves (Wingspan cards are not the same size as many other games) but thats not really anything a little 3D printing can’t fix.
