  • Not free as in freedom, but gratis. Also only works for people who are on Discord - FreeStuff Bot will notify you every time a game on one of the popular PC platforms is available for free.

  • I guess that would beg the question, how much is it worth to you pay extra to not have additional spyware in your home? Or as others have said in this thread, there is at least one brand of television that still sells dumb tvs.

  • Simple solution I use: Fuck television sets, get a computer monitor and basic speakers instead. A display should do only one thing and do it well.

  • Pinta has become my favorite image editing tool. Every other one I feel like I have to fight with in order to do anything (looking at you Gimp), but Pinta is so easy and intuitive it's a joy to use.

  • I mean yeah, I just said above that someone almost killed me. They were probably a human driver. But that's a "might happen, never know." If self driving cars are rear-ending people, that's an inherent artifact of it's programming, even though it's not intentionally programmed to do that.

    So it's like, things were already bad. I already do not feel safe doing any biking anymore. But as self driving cars become more prevalent, that threat upgrades to a kind of defacto, "Oh, these vast stretches of land are places where only cars and trucks are allowed. Everything else is roadkill waiting to happen."

  • I imagine bicyclists must be æffected as well if they're on the road (as we should be, technically). As somebody who has already been literally inches away from being rear-ended, this makes me never want to bike in the US again.

    Time to go to Netherlands.

  • Always liked the idea of GoboLinux, but haven't yet gotten around to trying it.

  • I should say, I'd rather have both the numpad and arrow key column on the left. I'm right handed. One benefit would is less travel anytime you need to move your hand from your mouse to keyboard and back, as well as those relative distances promoting slightly more even/ergonomic arm positioning.

    The other benefit is that I might actually be inclined to use the numpad for games instead of wasd, which would free up the rest of the keyboard for more shortcuts.

  • The numpad is still a popular option in roguelikes. It's also worth noting that sometimes the ortholinear layout of numpad keys is more appropriate than the staggered layout of letter keys.

  • I've been moving toward preferring full keyboards, but I wish it were more normalized for them to put the numpad on the left side.

  • If you're going to be regurgitating animal ag astroturfing propaganda, I hope they're at least paying you. It'd be really embarrassing if you're just simping for fascist funders for free. Anyway, Cowspiracy is a whole documentary debunking regenerative cattle ranching, in addition to plenty of other sources. The whole thing is just a nonsense nonstarter, and anyone arguing otherwise is right up there with climate deniers and anti-vaccers.

  • I am at a weird-feeling place at the moment. I got too comfortable buying things from Amazon, so my brain doesn't know how to shop now. But I canceled my Prime soon after the inauguration, and I'm thinking I need to delete my account all together to kind of force myself to start working on using alternatives.

  • To be honest I have considered getting a deck of cards with various positions, to save the effort of having to make decisions in the moment. 🤔

  • Why are so many images being shared in webp format these days?

  • That doesn't surprize me in the least. I try to commute on bike wherever feasible, but these days I almost entirely stay off roads. Biking has taught me that 99% of people do not deserve their license.

  • I love bicycling, and used to commute on bike almost exclusively. But I don't do it so much anymore because I've had too many close calls.
