seems like top manners to me👍

I recently learned that Strawberry has native built-in streaming capabilities

ayyy great game✨

I’ve probably sunk several years into this

whenever possible I buy games from Itch.io as some devs provide Steam keys alongside their source code and packaged versions for most (if not all) platforms which is usually: [Windows, Linux, Android]

vicariously watching others play is our only solution now unfortunately

one of the best games of all time🙏

if you haven’t played please don’t spoil yourself as The Outer Wilds is an incredible and enjoyable journey that many and I wish to experience for the first time again

this is a game classified in the legendary status

fellow mods; if possible I’d like to personally request a pin for silverchase’s post

Fair enough
although I asked as I didn’t want to flood this thread from the back and forth but thinking again maybe it’s ok?

@hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone I’ve got a couple of questions:

1. What’s your approximate budget?
2. What will this primarily be used for? [Work, school, personal] <- could be specialized or a mix of any.
3. What’s your experience with Operating Systems? (Windows, Linux, Mac) <- (asking here as you stated wanted something “easy to use”).
4. From your previous comment above what do you mean by “scrolling and playing”? I’m assuming web browsing and gaming? If this is correct what kinds of games do you typically play?

Please read the section below before replying with answers for the above

As you can see, some of these questions I typically ask can get a bit personal hence why I ask that I have private conversations unless the person in question consents and acknowledges that they’re ok with sharing potentially private information (like even writing this out makes me sketched out as mishandling any type of private information can be a serious legal risk)

In the end what matters most to me is helping people figuring out what they want/need

As a freelance IT consultant I could help you choose a laptop if you’d like as this was something I used to do back before the Reddit implosion

So…Emacs huh

that is true but for beginners with a $1000 budget who ask about buying laptops to host services

• I’d usually steer towards pc building as buying a laptop would usually be the worst of all options (which brings me great pain for my customers)
  • and building an actual server can be costly unless you’re buying easily accessible second -hand/used components

one thing I forgot to mention is that it also heavily depends on an individual’s use cases, restrictions, and preferences

that is definitely true however the added benefit is typically a longer warranty range as buying a laptop would typically mean that all components would be sold under a single flat warranty cycle/deadline

plus even if your computer is borked, you can still take it into a microcenter, memoryexpress, brick-and-mortor retailer to have their technicians figure it out the problem for a cost

I often have these time vs cost tradeoff discussions with my customers after they’ve been informed on the basics

with a $1000 budget they might want to consider building a computer as desktops usually provide better performance/per cost rather than buying a $1000 laptop

• desktop pcs can also be small if a small form-factor like ITX or mini-ITX is chosen (although mini-ITX can be pricey)

building is incredibly easy as there’s a plethora of tutorial vids online and you’re less likely to get screwed over by an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or retailer

• diy vs. buying a pre-built

the fediverse here also has an active community for support !buildapc@lemmy.world

Please spoiler warning/gate your comment as it’s quite gory and can be triggering for some if not most users

Here’s a template:

it provides support and helps prevent nipple chafing

saving so I have a baseline of what not to do

this seems like a great idea as it provides proof in writing just in case the stakeholder complains later on about the thing you implemented at their request

congrats to jellygiggler69😂

great name to attach an official award to lamo

Couple of guesses I have:

• potential graphics driver issues
  • s: could try reinstalling/updating graphics drivers
• Microsoft
  • s1: full system refresh via Windows reinstall (after backing up all user files)
  • s2: for beginners; Linux Mint

hard to say what else without any additional info (or having your device in front of me to figure out what’s happening)

• for example, did you happen to install anything or was there a recent Windows update?

to ask questions even while anxious is something to be commended on especially since you aren’t sure about what the right choices could be

I think it’s actually brave to ask for help especially in difficult situations such as the one you’re in

“The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.” - Marcus Aurelius

Should I go back and try to change society or should I just leave for good?

This brings back memories from a well known anime called Code Geass where 2 of the characters have a debate on whether change can either be born from within the system or if it must be made externally

• Lelouch vs Suzaku

Personally I’d say it’s external but I don’t know if this is closest to the truth of the perfect solution

From recent historical records like Hong Kong and Ukraine🌻 vs Russia

• brain drain is a real thing and it seems that to continue living under oppression and subjugation is probably the worst if not wrong decision as you’d be unintentionally sacrificing yourself for a corrupt authority

change is probably a mix of both internal and external

• but to continue living in an state of eroding democracy might be more detrimental than benefical to most
• as I’m writing this, I find it funny that this could be said the same for the fediverse here
