The death of ROMsites
I have been telling myself it is coming since 2006. So I have full sets for every console I can find.

So head-of-the-week and also main-of-seven?
.... I like it. It's a bit less dryly practical than just calling it "Second Day" (because we start the count at sunday because christianity), but -- It makes sense and is even kinda cool.

I'll let Sábado and Domingo because they at least reference christianity (a religion that is still widely practiced in the portuguese-speaking world) as opposed to using names of gods no one has worshipped for centuries (like english and spanish do) -- And those days are days of special observations in said religion -- So it makes some semblance of sense.

I'm entirely aware of that.
I also think it's fucking stupid.
I've learned english as a little kid. It's been more than 20 years.
I've been formally considered "fluent" on it since I was 17, so 13 years ago.
I have never properly learned the weekday names in english. I also patently refuse.
Why isn't TWOsday the second? Why is there a fried day? Is that the only day you're allowed to eat deep fried foods?
Just number your days instead of using weird mythological names that reference gods you don't even worship anymore and used to kill people for woshipping. ****ing gringos.

How do you define "technology". Because if it means "any human invention" then I have to give it to my squatty-potty. I have Crohn's Disease and "quality of pooping life" is a very important factor. And it's just a lot comfier when your legs aren't falling asleep due to an unnatural position.
If it has to be something from "the tech industry", then my very first smartphone, circa 2012. After decades of oldschool cell phones, it was a real game-changer. Doubly so because I'm in Brazil, where texting was never really a thing, so for the first time I had access to the likes of WhatsApp and could be in touch with my mates, whereas previously the cell was really just for calls, which is to say, emergencies.

The Steam Deck often feels criminal to me.
I used to be into game console hacking, and because you were going outside the walled garden, everything was always unstable and your butthole would clench every time you did something new.
Then there's the Deck, which is just. Not a walled garden. It's a full computer that doesn't antfuck over what you do with it. I'm finally playing a bunch of titles from my Steam Library, yes, and it IS neat that Steam Cloud synchs stuff back to my PC so I can alternate between machines effortlessly.
But I also have mods on my games. And I have a bunch of tiny games like fangames and one-person indie titles from itch on it. And I ALSO have all my emulation stuff on it. AND sometimes when out travelling I don't take a laptop, just the deck and a keyboard/adapter.
And a part of me looks at it with its comfy console form factor and says "... This shouldn't be allowed. It's too good to be true."

Do you do AI stuff?
I've heard NVidia is better for AI
For gaming, you'll probably not notice a difference. If anything, you'll be happy due to not having to wrestle NVidia Linux Drivers :P

I have the opposite problem
I learned GIMP first
When I try to use Photoshop/Photopea/whatever I'm useless at it because the keymaps are all different.

Like, the nutrition facts table says it contains nothing other than some sodium. No sugars or fats or calories at all Yet it clearly is edible, so what is it? Some concoction made mostly from indigestible minerals?
The gender I want to be is "Majestic Unicorn of unclear gender/sex, but decidedly statuesque in bearing" You can see how it would be difficult for me to transition in any meaningful way
Title. Game otherwise works great. Windows-using friends say it works for them. Networking is also normal on computer. I initially thought it could be anticheat related so I disabled mangohud and made sure Easy AntiCheat was launching etc. But no cigar, the game loads and errors out like in the pic. :  It seems to do so _immediately_, too, like it's not even trying to connect? Tried it on my Deck too, same error. Do not have a Windows PC to try it on, but it's really confusing me, because it ran perfectly until today. :P
My younger friends all talk about this Jerma person like he's some kind of mythical entity. An eldritch being that cannot be explained for any attempt at explanation inevitably fails. I am confused. From what I could gather he's like... A streamer? Content creator?
Way back in the day, every game had its logic tied to its framerate -- As anyone who's ever tried to run an eighties PC game on a nineties PC only to see it run at 20x speed and completely unplayable can tell you. But in the modern day this is less common. Generally the game keeps chugging along at the same pace, no matter how fast or slow the frames are being presented (unless, of course, everything is bogged down so hard that even the game logic is struggling) And yet, you'll still find a few. Any fan of Dark Souls who played on PC back when Prepare to Die edition first came to PC will remember how unlocking the framerate could cause collision bugs and send you into the void. And I recently watched a video of a gent who massively overclocked a Nintendo Switch OLED and got Tears of the Kingdom to run at 60FPS... Except everything was, indeed, running in fast-forward, rather than just being smoother. This makes me wonder -- Is there some unseen advantage to keeping game logic and framerate tied together? Perhaps something that only really shows on weaker hardware? Or is it just devs going "well the hardware we're targeting won't really go over this speed, and we don't really give a fuck about anything else" and not bothering to implement it?

Youtube Channel SaveAFox, previously a channel about like, a fox sanctuary that showed cute footage of the foxes to get more donors, got hacked today. It is now full of videos claiming to be from SpaceX and Elon Musk's ugly mug. Thing is It's not the first channel I've seen being hacked, nor is it the first to get that _exact_ type of content spammed into it. Linus Tech Tips got hacked some time back (honestly I don't remember how long ago, but I was already on Lemmy, so it was within the past year and change) and it had that exact type of stuff before LMG took it back. And there was another random channel that I saw suffer the same fate some months _before_ LTT. My question is -- Why Elon Musk? Why SpaceX/Tesla? Is Musk himself paying people to build zombie farms for him? I wouldn't put it past him but at the same time he has the funds to not _need_ that kind of tactic -- He could astroturf by more "legit-looking" means. Is it just because people who like Musk are more likely to fall for scams? Idk, found myself wondering that.
Title. I'm not sure I'm ready to go all "lineageOS full degoogle" on my phone because some rather necessary day-to-day apps for me will freak out if I have root, let alone a modified OS. Buuuut GBoard has gotten right in my tit, and now they're offering nightmarish AI generated emoji and I'm like "NO". So. I don't really care about predictive text or swipe-typing or any of that stuff, I mostly just type normally. The only nice-to-haves that might entice me would be support for one-handed mode and a configurable keyboard layout.
Title. Pokémon's too easy to be fun anymore, but Nuzlockes don't _work_ for me for a number of reasons. So I figured I'd play one of those romhacks that redesigns trainer teams -- That way I could play the game normally but also _would have to use my brain_. Any base game will do, although I'm not too fond of Gen4 because of how slow Gen4 pokémon games tend to be (gen5 is the prettiest, ofc)
