Horizon Zero Dawn is to this day the only game I have ever taken the time to listen to/read all the optional little lore drops in the world as I encountered it. Really well done IMO, even if the game is not overall that good, best world building I’ve experienced

Lmfao the mask comes off in some of these. Dredge is woke because “black woman has job in 1900s Europe” 🤣

Breaks my fucking heart man…

An ex army friend of mine said he’d be expected to make that shot with iron sights at 300m if he had an M4 after a year of training.

Not to say every backyard marksman is army trained, but it doesn’t sound improbable.

Not running anything myself but am part of a self hosting discord that swears by Netbird because its basically Tailscale but with a bunch more ease of use features apparently

Obviously everything depends on use case. I definitely am a tinkerer and prefer options. I’d never run a jellyfin server off a synology NAS cause… Well cause it can’t transcode very well. So efficiency is less of a concern than processing power.

I get now that my questions was a bit moot, obviously some people will pay a premium for a narrow use case if it brings reliability and ease of use.

I see! Thanks so much for the thoughtful response definitely seems like there’s a use case for people who might be more creatives with a need for storage rather than self-hosting enthusiasts who want to mess around in a homelab.

The prices are still a bit eye watering but you pay for software support for sure.

Is the main appeal of prebuilt NAS cases the aesthetics and the reduction of DIY concerns?

Because they seem to me like overpriced and underpowered computers. Most tech-oriented folks I know have more powerful PCs in a closet somewhere that they could easily convert into a NAS

Edit: some very thoughtful responses thanks y’all! I definitely see the appeal for people who just need something that doesn’t need tinkering or care significantly about power draw and noise.

Its really depressing that all the “resistance” we can offer is to pout and go “BUT THATS ILLEGAL” while our supposed opposition party votes to confirm every nominee and pass every barbaric bill by this admin…

Instruments and a nice microphone. The audio interface handles both hardware side and passes the audio via USB to the PC

Oh I guess I thought they were the same think. I have vesktop.

I don’t have some objective reason personally, I just don’t like web apps for 90℅ of things.

I’m curious does the web app allow for pass-through audio devices (an audio interface) or things like voicemeeter?

Can someone more plugged in than me show me what I gotta do to get that ‘Discord Wayland sharing’ working? I literally installed Vencord a month ago because every time I tried to share a window or my screen on discord it would hard crash.

It’s not gatekeeping to point out that ‘leftist’ historically doesn’t mean ‘left of center’. It’s used as a reductive - but that’s the nature of trying to reduce political ideologies to a single term - label for ideologies that are anti-capitalist. Nothing Linus said in this post points to him being anti-capitalist, he only commented on social issues.

He might still be a leftist, I’ll give you that, but this post doesn’t really show that.

Maybe it’s just the .world folks but yeah somehow “leftist” on this site has come to mean “left of the American center”…

Very loose definition of “leftist” there but we take a W where we can.

Begging the question was originally a very specific logical fallacy. It’s a type of reasoning where you circularly try to prove your argument. I just kinda wish the usage wasn’t being muddied. https://danielmiessler.com/blog/the-original-meaning-of-begging-the-question

“that begs the question”. I wish people would just use the more correct “raises the question”, especially people doing educational/academic content. I hear it across the English-speaking internet

That second line is the first bit of result after over a year of both parties fearmongering about “the immigrant crisis”. Deeply racist and violent country I hate this shit so much.

I mean since the Dems’ “big tent” includes Dick fucking Cheney I’m not surprised they’re also implementing Republican aesthetics
