You can also use a third party launcher. I use Lutris on Linux. The GOG Integration is excellent.

I need a PC that runs with no monitor and gets interfaced with through remote desktop only. I just installed Linux on that machine. It currently must have a keyboard and monitor because if it gets rebooted, it comes to the login screen. The login screen cannot be brought up via remote desktop (RDP through Remmina). I also have so far been unable to find a way to force it to automatically sign in "passwordless" like it used to do with Windows.

This box runs Plex as well as whatever game server I want to run for friends and I at the moment. (Currently Minecraft, which is having trouble since th switchover with server lag, but that is far less important than being able to reboot the screenless server box and have it work with no further input )

What do you think the Great Filter is?

The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi...

I would say it's the size of the universe and the fact that it is still expanding at an accelerated rate.

If the speed of light is really the "top speed" of the universe, it is inadequate for interstellar travel. It is barely good enough for timely communication, and not really even that.

Life can be as likely as it wants to be, but it seems to me that we're all quite divided, to the point of not being able to communicate at all with other potential intelligent species.

I suppose I was focusing on detecting some sort of communications. It still matters that when we see objects at great distance in space, it's the objects in the distant past

One of the weirdest facts. One that really makes you feel so small.

What's was your favourite fast food product that unfortunately got retired and never came back?

Here, for a while at McDonald's there was a 🍔 called "the 1955" and it was the best, big pieces of onion, an special sauce, buns and big piece of beef with bacon (for Europe standards anyways) it disappeared once and came back for an encore only to be removed again and never return.

Gotta chime in with the bacon cheddar potato wedges and chili cheese curly fries at Jack in the Box. Jack in general has become shit tier now.

Also, McDonalds used to have a super excellent breakfast burrito with sausage, bacon, peppers, everything. Back when breakfast all day was a thing.

I have been seeing a lot of animal abuse posts on here lately. I hadn't noticed 196 being like that in the past on here or Reddit. Is there a trend toward that for this community in general? I'm well aware of how fucked the industry is, but I also don't sub to this community for that. I am here for little gay people shit posting in my phone. These just make me sad. I can't personally do anything to stop this. I don't want to unsub, and there's not a great way to filter, unless it's all the same OP? :(

I'm recently diagnosed diabetic so this shit just angers me on multiple levels. Good job, body. Now we have to limit carbs, and all the meat is cruel, guess I'll live on fucking greens and cheese.

I like how the last one called Kris Mates a man.

I literally watch cat videos and cooking videos on tiktok. Damn Chinese. Giving me cute cars and recipes.

Played and beat A Link to the Past for the first time! ( lemmy.world )

As a big Zelda hater as a kid, I skipped the series completely. I’ve been going through to experience them all in order now. I really enjoyed the first two games of the series so I expected to like this one too. What I didn’t expect is was that it really is one of the best games on the Super Nintendo if not one of the best...

All-time for sure. Amazingly solid game.

I played it on a 2DS. Now I'm curious to play it in 3D.

LMFAO you are so propagandized

@littlecolt@lemm.ee avatar

It's well known now that gamergate and large parts of the "MRA" movement were organized specifically to radicalize young white men, as a test run that would eventually become the alt-right pipeline to radicalize even more people. Steve Bannon and his band of merry trolls were heavily involved.

So, yes, it really was sexist, racist, full of hate, and directly led to the alt-right movement online.

This information is not hard to find, if you cannot or do not wish to learn about the entire situation, which is much more complicated than could be boiled into a reply here, perhaps you are willfully doing so. please look it all up. There have been plenty of articles and even documentaries made about it through the years since. It is not my job to teach you about it, and I'm not qualified, nor do I have sources ready.

littlecolt ,
@littlecolt@lemm.ee avatar

I'm not citing a source, I'm speaking generally. Search YouTube for a video called "how to fall down the anti-sjw rabbit hole" to get started, great video by a great YouTube creator called Three Arrows., but really it is not difficult.to find this sort of information. I am also speaking generally instead of specifically on purpose because my goal here was to leave a comment. Not to have a debate.

Thus pisses me off. The big fandoms and influencers could move. But all the people are on X. The users couldove, but all the fandoms and influencers are on X. It's a fucking loop where no one wants to make the first move

I just finished Enterprise. I know the last episode doesn't count, but seriously, how the fuck did this not get more episodes eventually? Seasons 3 and 4 were so fucking good, like, DS9, Voyager, and TNG's best are right there, equal. It's been so long now it would be hard, but I feel like fans deserve a real conclusion and deserve to be told that Trip didn't really die, it was all a plot from the future somehow and then we could truly see the final battles, Starfleet vs Terra Prime vs the Suleban and their shadowy future boss who is totally not Archer from a future mirror timeline. >_>

Oh also, Star Trek Voyager x World of Warcraft. Is that just Star Trek Online?

Microsoft is already trying hard. My poor mom did not notice all her files are on OneDrive. Now she has two laptops with everything remote on OneDrive. It's has some advantages, but it's annoying in so many more ways.

I am skeptical. If there is more pita, you know you can take more hummus with each dip, so you will still run out of hummus first. I seems scientifically impossible. At least until we find the actual hummus to pita capacity, and I doubt they could have.

So you believe Trump will stop crushing orphans? He seems like an orphan crusher.

I watched about a third of it. It's actually not too bad. It has some of that Carlin wit to it. I like the transition from God inventing cancer to "America gets a special way to die, though, MASS SHOOTINGS" - that was the big one that made me say "Wow. George would have definitely done a skit about mass shooting like this."

The reality TV bit, though, I dunno. George was a BIG fan of "the freak show" that was life, so he might have actually been a bit more positive about it. Also, the parts about your vote not mattering, that was pretty spot on. George admitted he doesn't vote and it was because he felt it didn't matter, and he also didn't want to take part in society the way it is

The Henson Safety Razor, a nearly 1-to-1 replacement for disposable razors, with all the environmental benefits of a regular safety razor, and certifiably BIFL ( slrpnk.net )

When I became more environmentally conscious many years ago, I decided to switch to a safety razor to reduce plastic waste. I landed on a reputable safety razor with a 'mild' angle, something that would be good for sensitive skin. Even with a good shaving soap, I found that I would regularly still get some discomfort from razor...

I have a life pro tip for people using cartridge razors and having them gunk up: canned air. Like the kind you're supposed to use on your keyboard or computer. Blow your razor out to dry and clear debris. It will last a shitload longer.

Are your whiskers more fine? I think maybe this is an issue with thick whisker. Like the hair itself is thick.
