  • I'm tired of worrying about the future of my career

    Jump

  • I can feel you, similar situations and thoughts, but we will survive, majority of us does. Share your thoughts with partner, good of your chest should happen with them.

    And this is very important for them to find a job. If you have a family and losing one's job means losing home - your partner should already be employed, it is important for your survival. Unless you have savings for at least a year to find a job which will cover current expenses until they will be covered by salaries again.

  • What software tools do you use that are gaming related?

    Jump

  • How do people who can't have or don't want penetrative sex find compatible partners?

    Jump

  • I would say look for the person you will want to like, be open and you both will work something out. Sex is an extention to the relationship, part of it and there are many ways it can be executed or even abandoned if it fits you both.

  • Evolutionarily speaking, wouldn't premature ejaculation be considered the desired trait?

    Jump

  • I would recommend reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_at_Dawn book. While getting lots of academic criticism, it describes logically (and criticism for that was the most minor) well why penis has a form it has and sex lasts different amount of time for men and women.

    To cut it short our ancestors species females had sex with several males (and vice versa), where evolutionary not the strongest male would reproduce, but whoever sperm will get to the ovum first. So penis is a pump which should help to remove as much sperm of previous males as possible, (that's why some time for sex is required), ejakulate as strong as it can, than soften and loose shape to stop acting like a pump. Also there were spermicids found in substance males ejakulate in the end, which might be to minimize next male chances.

    Partly book is very questionable, but it has some valid points and quite fun to read.

  • What common thing should not only be banned, but criminalized with mandatory minimum sentences?

    Jump

  • Production of cigarettes and tobacco.

    As ex smoker who tried to quit so many times during almost two decades - I know how tough this drug can be and that it's wide acceptance as social norm makes it so much worse.

  • I'm putting my tin foil hat on and want to join the world of Linux, however I make music in Ableton. Do I just need to dual boot or does anyone have a better solution?

    Jump

  • I am a hobbyist and was using ableton live before. As mentioned by others, unless you dual boot - try bitwig studio for similar experience. It is from people who worked in ableton. Have a trial, pirate if can't afford now.

    Foss alternative - ardour is great, but you will have to bring your own plug in suit.

    Yabridge tool can help you to run windows vsts on Linux, but not everything works. And beware - it does not work with flatpak version Bitwig, at least it did not.

  • Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back

    Jump

  • "The company" is Klarna.

    Wtf with titles this days 🤦.

  • Transport Fever 2 and its deluxe edition at historical lowest price (75% off for both)

    Jump

  • This is a very, very good game.

  • Which headphone should I get?

    Jump

  • Beyerdynamic DT 990 are about 150, nice open headphones. Both people with requests to sound and casual listeners enjoy (me and my wife as example). They are built very well. My pair is 12 years old and as new when I replace ear pads. They do have very high level of sound quality and detail, hard to beat in leven double price range. I play games, listen and create music in them, due to mindful construction and open back they can be worn for a long time. Sound is open, crisp, with a lot of highs and pretty detailed. If you don't have anything to drive them, take 80ohm. If you need more volume or better sound, consider cheap, good sounding digital audio converter (DAC) and amplifier - check FIIO brand for example, ka11 (40$) is good and very portable, I also use it with my steam deck. But there are other models cheaper.

    Sennheisers have a lot of good pairs, but I cannot recommend anything from expirience, Audio Technica is Japanese company and their headphones are good sounding, but a lot of their headphones are fragile.

    Overall aim for open headphones as they are better when you wear them for long periods like during gaming. And use return policy to your advantage.

  • Retro games worth picking up on Android?

    Jump

  • I still question myself why did not I try it before as it changed my quality of waiting on different places like public transport by large margin:

    Try turn based games with Lemuroid (frontend for emulators on android). No gamepad required, always in your pocket, everything works out of the box.

    I'm playing psp Valkyria Chronicles and it is great. Such games are perfect format for phone, as anything where reaction and precision is necessary needs gamepad. And you either need to own a retro dedicated handheld and take it with you, or (if you have one) take cumbersome Steamdeck like handheld, which is not feasible for 30 minutes ride.

  • Nested Desktop: What it is, and how to set it up

  • Did not know about such possibility, very useful. Thank you!

  • Ranking the best vintage video games (25 years or older)

  • Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 (1995), was on Sega Genesis for me.

  • What is the best post sort for Lemmy?

    Jump

  • As some other people suggested, I can also add vote to scaled, especially on subscribed communities.

    I don't spend that much time on lemmy and smaller communities don't get attention in my feed otherwise. With scaled they pop up pretty often.

  • RetroArch on Fedora has blank screen through Steam Link only

    Jump

  • I tried steam link for several games in last weeks and it seems that black screen issue exists in quite some of them. My case is Nvidia on Wayland and it seems to me that could be a culprit in my case. If it's the case for you, too - try xorg first.

    Sorry, can't help you, but interested in solution, too.

  • Do you overthink your Steam categories or are you normal?

    Jump

  • I was playing this game too much, with complex system which never actually encouraged me to play any of the games I have categorized (and I had similar system as OP). Please dear fellow gamers - don't fall into same trap =)

    Now I have only 4:

    • WTP - want to play games, be them new or on repeat.
    • VR - same as WTP, but for VR.
    • Done - for games which are finished, but I have a feeling that I would like to recall them several years later.
    • Done-done - for games which I'm not going to ever play again. Either bad games, or which have fully fulfilled their purpose and there is nothing to do anymore.

    I use recent sorting, which help a lot to mitigate any kind of lock on what to play today. It's more like recommendation

    I am trying to free myself from finishing games 100% and avoid all side/boring activities, also now I'm free to pick whichever game I want, instead of planned (like work) consumption with previous system.

    It has really brighten my playtime, now it feels more like joy than before.

  • AI Generated X

    Jump

  • If society tries to suppress something that will find it's way, you will get it back, but hidden, harder to detect and maybe even changed in a harmful way.

    We had it as humanity with alcohol bans, war on drugs, hateful speech bans and etc. We need systematic regulations for unavoidable, not prohibitions which will leak from all places.

    Leaving it be while being explicit is reasonable.

  • Good all around tablet?

    Jump

  • Can't help here, not even tried. But I don't know if it should matter for tablet, installed stuff does not disturb you in any way and regarding your data leaking to manufacturer - same goes to other brands, too. Xiaomi launcher is fine, simple like an iPad, I would prefer it differently, but comparing tablet usage to phone - in tablet I only need to start my app (tachiyomi, draw app or jellyfin) and launcher does not matter anymore. Phone is used heavier and in more diversed way.

    If you are looking for something to tinker with, it's better to look at list of supported devices of OS you are going to install. I have stopped looking into such things, can't help here either, sorry.

  • Good all around tablet?

    Jump

  • Xiaomi pad 6 is great, I bought two for me and my wife to read manga and draw occasionally, rarely we watch something, it has very nice screen and sound. It's reasonably priced and is overall nothing to complain about if you are OK with bloatware.

  • TBH I don't have strong opinion where the boundaries of FOSS are. But I can understand their will to minimize effort where you see it fits as an engineer. If they think they lack of manpower to do something, it's their vision as they put work towards it. We can help if we like, agree, disagree or ignore. Does not make sense to blame them though, that was the point of my first comment.
