Makes me miss the days of “plug n play” radios like give me a slot connected to speakers for my stuff, don’t connect it to the car unless it’s to the OBD2 port and shows me diagnostics of everything while I’m driving

Or just an fm radio & a Bluetooth FM transmitter

They really do have far too much power and influence. Capitalism without ethics will always be a detriment to the people.

Without ethics in place it’s just everyone out for themselves trying to get paid while the rest just try to survive without losing it all.

Never fully understood how bad it can be until I saw my rural area get taken over. A decade or so ago it was just a town of poor folks and prices for housing, food etc. Reflected that. Then the rich folks, corporations etc discovered that money could be made here and that was it. All of the small businesses have been bought out and replaced with chain stores. Prices for everything have drastically increased to where a cheeseburger that sold for $5 a few years ago is now $25. Homes that were selling for $60k are now hundreds of thousands, a million in some cases. Almost all of the farmland was bought and sold to developers then turned into subdivisions who then marketed to “higher” class citizens who could afford to pay the asking price.

It was a small town where everyone knew each other. To date I’d estimate that 90% of those families have moved within a 10 year period. These are multigenerational families, many of which can date their family history here back to when their ancestors first migrated here.

Now it’s just a sea of opportunity for those into real estate and big business.

The common people never had a choice in the matter. These people just used their deep pockets to take everything over.

It’s true, I guess they only built the “5G” towers to have the name alone, figuring customers would want the latest and greatest. It’s worked, most people I see are using 5G even though every 5G network I’ve tested has yielded about the results you describe, 15mbps while I can easily get 30+ via 4glte standing in the same spot.

$25 a month for truly unlimited? Unheard of and super cool

Is that a good printer? Sounds vaguely like what I bought from a thrift store a while back.

It’s got something stuck somewhere that I haven’t been able to find by dismantling and cleaning. Didn’t know if it was worth fixing?

But they did do something eventually lol

What’s freetube? Ik I can search but so many recommendations

If you were that person until you read this, fuck you

For 6 million dollars?

An Adblocker allowing ads to… start a conversation that’s already been had and over for decades at this point.

People don’t like intrusive ads. Give intrusive ads and we’ll always find ways around them. It’s a story as old as the internet. Google is no exception. You may have billions of dollars and thousands of employees but nearly everyone in the damned world hates ads. You can try to fight it all you want. The only reason that nearly anyone puts up with ads is they want to support the creator or don’t yet know they can avoid the ads. Even those supporting the creators don’t like the damned things.

I’ve seen so, so many people watching ads on their phones

What’s this?

Can’t lie I still love tropic thunder sooo much today. I get that the climate has shifted and understand why but I still feel like we’ve lost something valuable in the process. Robert Downey in black face was… wrong but at the same time felt perfect. It wasn’t the black face that got me, he really could’ve been dressed as anyone and I would’ve laughed the same. What got me was his inability to break script, even when not filming. Can’t remember the full context but the scene in which someone is calling him out on not breaking character and, in iirc the only time he breaks character throughout the movie he breaks down and says “I don’t break character until after the DVD commentary!” Idk why but it broke me and I can’t help but chuckle about it today.

That movie is full of “no-no’s”, sure, but so was Chappelle’s show, Sanford and son etc.

I’m sorry, I’ve been confusing myself in the comments haha thought you were advising about how to get the windows version to run better now realize we’re on Linux sorry!

So lutris is for running windows .exe on Linux! Good to know, and no I’m not dual booting yet just windows 11 just considering install Ubuntu/fedora or something to dual boot with and running cyberpunk from it instead of win11, or just going back to win10 and seeing if it helps

Oh! You’re talking about getting it to work on Linux sorry I was so confused. So I can use the same cyberpunk setup.exe on Linux or do I have to download a different one? This is great news didn’t realize it would be so simple

Not sure we’re on the same page, I have installed it and it runs, just not as smoothly as it did before.

But you’re talking about something having to run in the background to emulate steam since I’ve installed from elsewhere, correct?

How could I use bottles or lutris?

I can definitely add it to steam as a non steam game but which drop-down? Would be awesome if this worked, thank you!

Oh and I played it exactly how I’m playing it now but not on steam, heck idk I just have a cyberpunk icon I click to open it on win11, I don’t open it with steam or anything but will try for the dropdown

Damn, you know what? I actually sort of liked windows 11 when I had it on an empty SSD but now that I’ve added all my software I’ve noticed it’s much less snappy than win10 was.

Now I’m thinking of down(upgrading) back to windows 10 but Feel like it’s going to be a hassle. I’m not as tech savvy as I used to be and can’t even recall how to go back to win10 without just installing it fresh

Haha, what a crazy coincidence! I had the original cyberpunk last year on windows 10. It was glitchy as hell but ran semi decent on my hardware.

Deleted it, and last night just installed phantom liberty.

Ngl, the gameplay and feel is so far 10x better than it was before the update. It’s actually complete now and if you hated it before I’d honestly recommend another try as so far I’m actually sort of enjoying the gameplay whereas I hated it before and only played for the story.

Anyway, my issue is that with all of the updates it’s not running anywhere near as nice as it was before. I’m having to run it on the lowest resolution with every graphic option disabled which stinks because with the gameplay being fixed somewhat I’d really like to enjoy it graphically as well.

I’ve installed Ubuntu dual boot on my ssd before and can do that again but any tips? I wouldn’t know about where to even get phantom liberty on fedora or how to install it?

God… I’ve been on the “fediverse” for months and

A: have no clue what it is

And

B: am not even entirely sure I’m on it anymore

Love Lemmy but lol this is getting confusing, is Mastodon on Lemmy or… just federated or… sheesh I need to search this
