How about just “straight”?

I’d say it holds up nicely. My index and middle fingers rest on the ball, while my ring finger handles scrolling. So accidental scrolling doesn’t happen. For horizontal scrolling on the left touchpad I can use my index finger.

As for Sopuli, hosting Photon may happen in the future.

Exactly. It’s ridiculous how UE5 has tools like Nanite that should free developers from previously time-consuming chores such as creating LOD meshes and provide great performance at the same time. Instead it leads to performance problems and the developers may not optimize their games properly. The resulting game needs to render at a lower base resolution like fucking 720p and upscale from that using AI, add some bad anti-aliasing and the overall image quality is blurry. This has to be done, as otherwise the game’s performance will barely reach stable 30 FPS, even on new GPUs with all the bells and whistles. Oh, and if the game can’t reach 60 FPS? No worry, there’s AI frame generation! We were supposed to live in times of realistic graphics with great performance, but all we get is tools to circumvent bad performance and image quality resulting from bad optimization.

There are no recommendation algorithms for content, you are one! Search for communities based on your interests and subscribe to them. The Communities view of your home instance and Lemmy Explorer are good for that. Because Lemmy is decentralized, all discussion isn’t centered around one site like on Reddit, which may at first give an impression of emptiness.

I also wrote an extensive guide about Lemmy few weeks ago.

Welcome!

Next year it will be ten years since Harambe died.

He’s getting really well into the Linux and FOSS rabbit hole. And he’s also serving as a “celebrity role model” for people interested in switching to Linux. This can have lots of potential!

Another variation of that is claiming how getting sick repeatedly is somehow beneficial for getting a strong immune system. That ignores research, as children who have a lot of common infections early in life have higher risk of moderate to severe infections and antibiotic use throughout childhood. That also ignores viruses for which a durable immunity isn’t currently possible, such as COVID.

EDIT: Basically the immunity system doesn’t work like a muscle.

It would be great if “How I Bang Your Mother” was an instructional video series.

This could be out of Street Fighter.

“Don’t compare yourself to others.” Everyone develops at their own pace. This also helps in building a good self-esteem.

To paraphrase Jaden Smith, “How can sandwiches be real if our mouths aren’t real?”

My coffee preparation method seems to be closest to the Ubuntu user. I use Pop OS and my coffeemaker is Philips HD7769/00 with an inbuilt bean grinder.

Yes, it’s preferable.

It totes doesn’t sound there’s any agenda hidden…

And God forbid if someone uses archiving sites like archive.is!

There should be a memorial for victims of EA (all the studios they have acquired and then shut down), similarly to the Victims of Communism memorial.

Oh yes, that was from the times when any game that was a bit more difficult was compared to Dark Souls.

This was also around the time when the public perception about Musk was different. Reddit thought of him as a “real-life Tony Stark”, who put a car in space and is a little eccentric. That perception about him peaked on August 2018 when he appeared on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Around 2020 he started to go deeper into QAnon-esque rabbit-hole, turning into the despised far-right wacko he is today. Of course he has been always an opportunistic hack.
