That sounds like exactly what I was getting

Yes and no.

Pending means the sub hasn’t gone through to the home instance of the community. If you’re the first subscriber, this means the there will be no inbound federation bringing the content from that community to your instance.

If someone else on your instance has already successfully subbed, the federating is already occurring, and your instance will be receiving the activity as it comes in.

Your instance will then show it to you, both in your subscriptions and in general, even though the sub is pending.

If your sub stays pending, you may have to unsub and resub to get it to work. If no-one else on your instance has subbed either, then the activity will continue to not show up for as long as it is pending.

Absolutely, but those shouldn’t be overlooked by anyone, and forgiven only once someone has made the effort to unlearn that shit.

Is the “profound” message here really just that as younger women enter the lives of their aging husbands and then fathers, they tolerate less and less of the historical sexist shittyness, as they’ve grown up a generation later than the previous main female figure in their lives?

Scoffing when asked to change ones behaviour for the better is not a gendered charachter fault. No-one likes being informed that something they’ve been doing, and consider normal, is bad, actually.

And that’s not a reason not to improve. The opposite. It’s a reason to embrace self-improvement, and to learn to do ones best to skip the denial phase.

Something I think most people, of both genders, can be very good at if they want to be.

I’m right there with you. I’m utterly confused.

What is there to forgive? Is thore some inherent shittyness in men that needs overlooking on the part of women, or suppressing on the part of men?

Or is this just talking about how gender equality as improved with each generation, so as the same dudes age, the younger women in their lives are asking them to be more and more fair?

2048 is so good. I love the teams each having three craft types. The tracks are really fun, with both wide sections where you can go flat out without a care, and narrow parts where you have to really thread the needle and use the airbrakes with total precision.

If you haven’t already, check out BallisticNG. It’s a retro style re-implementation of the classic WipEout physics, and the upcoming update will fully implement the 2048 physics mode.

Any AG racing fans in here?

BalisticNG is my latest main game, but my love began with the WipEout series.

I also enjoy Redout and Redout 2, but the lack of weapons means I can only go so long before needing to play WipEout or BNG again.

Obligatory mention of !ballisticng@sopuli.xyz

Like complete freezes followed by a reboot? Or straight to complete reboot?

I had that on my first unit, RMAd it and hasn’t happened again on the new one. I assumed it was some kind of faulty hardware component. Like the RAM or GPU.

I really liked this little series. Cute.

There are a lot of kinks around VR on linux. Wayland has been better in my experience, but I still can’t believe SteamVR on linux just doesn’t have power management for the base stations implemented. Like, it works, there’s a fucking python script that can do it! But not via SteamVR.

I use an app on my phone to turn my base stations on and off.

Here’s hoping the Deck and whatever Deckard turns out to be means Valve is in the process of improving the situation.

It’s probably not worth the effort. It’s one of the more complex mods, and the screen with additional resolution comes with a bunch of drawbacks, and the anti-glare coating isn’t that big a deal.

This is a very, very bad idea.

SSDs are permanent flash storage, yes, but that doesn’t mean you can leave them unpowered for extended periods of time.

Without a refresh, electrons can and do leak out of the charge traps that store the ones and zeroes. Depending on the exact NAND used, the data could start going corrupt within a year or so.

HDDs suffer the same problem, though less so. They can go several years, possibly a decade, but you’d still be risking the data on the drive but letting it sit unpowered for an extended time.

For the “cold storage” approach you should really be using something that’s designed to retain data in such conditions, like optical media, or tape drives.

You cannot put an OLED screen in an LCD model.

They have different internals. The screen upgrades that exist for the LCD are to swap in the anti-glare coated version, or a higher resolution.

Again, the weird paraphrasing, is why it’s funny. No-one is actually doing it with those exact words except to be funny.

It’s like asking someonen to to hang out by saying “could thine be compelled to spend a night in mine company, perhaps during the consumption of sustenance?”

Paraphrasing is the act of saying something with different words. Using unusual, inaccurate, hyperbolic or too many words is a common way to be funny.

It’s both.

Either way, making all the software developers who insist on messing with the kernel on windows, stop, will be a good thing.

VR games work just fine in proton, as long as you’re on Vive or Index.

It’s the the headsets that don’t support linux, unfortunately.

Also more than half of games with AC do in fact run on linux right now, and the world hasn’t ended.

And no, the joke isn’t written poorly, the hyperbolic paraphrasing IS THE WHOLE JOKE.

600 upvoters and counting got it just fine.

Wow.

Holy shit you missed the joke.

The use of the word “activity” here is obviously in reference to socializing, as its directly used in response to “do you want to hang out” to say “already did that with someone/you recently”.

It’s not referring to any random potential task a person might engage in. Is english not your first language? How the hell did you get to the interpretation that “activity” here refers to doing anything?!
