Oh man I was the guy that said “Just go to cons” above but I see what you’re saying. Genuine connections take time.

One way I have really had some luck is just messaging friends I haven’t talked to in a while to check in on them. Most don’t reply but sometimes one does. One guy I messaged after not seeing him in 20 years and now we hang out every other week.

Maybe there is no winning strategy, just gotta be persistent.

Go to cons my guy. Join the tournaments, stand in line. People are friendly just aim for a good conversation and be curious about people

You got that from three sentences?

100% agree with all of this.

Only thing to add is occasionally you can find coupons/deals on providers and indexers. Lots around November for black friday and a handful of indexers have lifetime plans.

Mr Rogers. Was like a light went out in the world. Robin Williams came close. Each a symbol of joy and kindness.

This is it. This is how the world stops eating beef.

Not super related but how do you think Tarzan shaves? And why would he shave if he wants to be more like the gorillas? I would expect at a minimum he has a beard like fresco jesus

It’s not that hard but they will have to make accounts and set the correct exit node or use the weird magic dns. Takes some hand-holding and depends on how you set things up.

I would guess many people on here have done the research but have little experience with the actions necessary to conceive

Magic creates a need for wizards

Love it but have generally the same criticisms as you. Luckily there are mods that help both of these issues:

this one helps slightly with performance: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/35

and this one with difficulty: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/58

Also playing on steam deck I can’t tell if aim assist is helping at all. Can be difficult to look at each gold to pick it up with a controller.

I am about a decade into a swe career and bored as hell. One of my biggest regrets is not sticking it out and continuing down the research path (bioinformatics). As the saying goes, regrets show us the things that matter most.

Someone telling me we need to talk and refusing to give context

That complicates things. I would check whether subtitles are enabled (burn-in is notoriously slow) and then try manually adding your server via the app (to rule out wan/relay). Could also recreate the issue and check the server logs - timestamps should tell you what actions were taken when.

Difficult to say without more detail but it’s likely transcoding. You can view how much is cached via tautulli if that’s something you have set up.

Good now, bad later.

Lemmy is small enough to only have useful bots now. Naively, I think policing bot content across instances will grow into a nightmare the day that policing is needed.

Blindly. People love to list them as evidence as if the numbers stand on their own. Reality is a person had some hand in assembling the numbers and there is no such thing as a bulletproof statistic. Good statistics ought to be scrutinized.

Came here to say exactly this. I watched for info, not to fall in love.
