my Windows 10 taskbar vs the Windows 11 24H2 taskbar... I hate this so much that it's unhealthy. They have removed all the hacks that allow you to make it smaller (other than paid apps like Start11)

@ward God, they just keep making it worse. Every time I see Windows 11 I cringe.... I'm hoping that openshell doesnt break or die out because of Microsoft's lockdown bullshit....gonna make a lot of my friends' lives way worse

@ward That's a relief. I have so many friends who are dreading upgrading to 11 but I'll point them all toward open shell....they're not power users but there's enough bullshit changes in Win11's interface that the'yre all very put off....and with one exception they all understandably cant or dont wanna switch to linux...i dont push it on them. anyway, cheers.

I lose sleep thinking about how much I want to delete the tech youtube channel... I want to delete my source of income. I guess this is normal for people who like to create art.

@ward Would deleting it be devastating to your livelihood, or would you be able to get by without it? Is the need for income the thing that's keeping you from quitting?

@Archmage It looks like a neat little game from the clips I've seen. How's the plot, if there is any?

It's felt great to write again. I've been working on some fiction and I just submitted an essay for a project a friend of mine is putting together. There's nothing more exhilarating for me than to create.

Bandcamp Friday ends in 8 hours... so I dropped the price on the latest album to $3.33... If you like moody old video game music with a DOS/SNES/NES flavor... I think you might like it.

Artists get to keep all the loot today! Thanks in advance for any reviews on the album. Enjoy.

I don't post many videos here... But this is about the #Nintendo & #yuzu lawsuit. I think their main goal is to kill emulation...

@ward Nailed it. Bladur's Gate 3 is one of the best games I've ever played.

I remember one time I was building a level in unreal and someone came into the chat and was like, "that's not how you build levels."

So I said, "How do you build them?"

They said, "I don't know, but you're doing way too much work. You should just be able to generate it right?"
Gamers have no idea how games are made. They literally think most of it is magic.

casey, to Steamdeck
@casey@easymode.im avatar

I've encountered a strange issue where is suddenly constantly crashing on my main rig, but working perfectly fine on my . I'm not using any mods, my rig is more than enough to handle the game on high settings at 1440p, and I'm not having any issues with any other games. I've reinstalled the game several times. I've verified the integrity of the files via steam, I've even reinstalled my OS. Noting works. It still crashes constantly on my main PC. There;s no discernible pattern to the crashes either--in combat, out of combat, standing around in the world, clicking on something, doing an action, character creation...it just crashes after 5-10 minutes every time without fail. My temps are all fine as well, and no other game is giving me these issues....any idea what's up? I'm running the game on a Ryzen 5 2600 with a 6650 XT, 32 GB of ram, and nvme driven and i'm using 21.3...

casey,
@casey@easymode.im avatar

@ward update...i did check the health of the nvme and the sata ssd that ive moved the game to. both are fine.

casey,
@casey@easymode.im avatar

@ward The wild thing is, I was using that mod and a couple others when this started. My first step was removing my mods. the only ones I used were wasd controls, the camera mod, and aether's immersive ui. alas, nothing changed. I'm starting to wonder if it could be my gpu, but every other game i play is fine....plus, if the gpu was going bad, wouldn't there be other signs?

@casey@easymode.im avatar

@ward I've thrown up my hands and decided to just play it on my Steam Deck. It still runs and looks pretty good on the little 800p screen at medium

casey,
@casey@easymode.im avatar

@ward holy shit, I think I got it.... I don't want to jinx it but I think I've managed to fix it.I disabled XMP/memory overclocking in the bios and l that may have fixed it! I need to run some further tests but that will have to wait until tomorrow. It's way past bed time and I have work in the morning.

casey,
@casey@easymode.im avatar

@ward After some further testing, disabling xmp really seems to have fixed it. I was worried I would get a steep drop in performance since I've heard people talk about RAM speed being really important with Ryzen CPUs, but I haven't noticed a massive performance hit at all....

was talking to someone and they gave me the line: "The problem with marxism is that it doesn't account for human greed...and that isn't stupid... but their logic is usually that capitalism is the answer... which is completely ridiculous... great.. humans are greedy by nature... and this is bad... but let's live in a system that rewards sociopathic levels of greed... let's talk about this a bit more.

I do actually agree that marxism doesn't take into account human greed/evil enough... marxism is a very old idea and we do need something new... but dealing with the greedy is always a scary topic that many just fail to address. Hording wealth doesn't seem like something worthy of punishment... but I'd like to argue that it is because it can cause others to suffer. If we had unlimited everything for everyone, whatever... but billionaires actively make life worse for 99% of the population. They can't be allowed to exist and they can't be allowed to exploit the rest of us.

Some native tribes would exile or kill those who hoarded goods for themselves because it could cause others in the tribe to suffer or even die... Maybe it's my cherokee roots, but I'd wager society would be better if we took more drastic measures to stop greed/insane wealth accumulation. We need to reward the good traits of humanity... compassion, creativity, exploration, scientific innovation, etc... and I think it would be completely reasonable to strip the billionaires of their wealth... and even lock them up. Their rights are not more important than the rights of 99.999% of the population. I don't expect this to happen... but I think it's important to have ideas that are beyond what can currently happen.

OK... rant over.

@casey@easymode.im avatar

@ward I want to highlight your last statement about having ideas that seem unfeasible in the present because you're 1000% right about that. It is absolutely vital to break with old ideas, because, well, what's the alternative? We can't keep sticking our heads in the sand while the most powerful people on the planet continue to wreak havoc. You're definitely onto something.

tl;dr I agree with you, though I still consider myself a Marxist

Hi there fedi folks! I'm looking to connect with other adult , , , etc. folks out there. I've tried various servers, but in my experience they're either super horny on main (nothing wrong with sex and sexuality, just not my jam) or there's a ton of minors....anyone know of a SFW space like that? Or if you fall into these categories and wanna befriend a genderqueer butch nerd, hit me up I suppose!
