Sony made some significant changes between the PS4 and PS5 controllers. I don’t know the details beyond the dynamic resistance triggers, but if you buy a controller board to make your own fightstick, it’ll work with everything up through PS4 and then you need an additional daughter-board to make it work with the PS5.

I don’t really grok products like this.

If you have a fundamental disagreement with a platform, continuing to engage with it, even through a condom, is still perpetuating it. It’s maintaining that platform as still important and integral, and a place that others should continue to engage with. It’s telling advertisers that it’s still a place that’s worth their money to maintain a presence on. It stymies the momentum in shifting to an alternative; why put the effort into a new service if people are still seeing your posts?

It’s like pirating Windows instead of moving to a different OS. You’re still perpetuating the MS hegemony and telling software developers that Windows is the platform they need to develop for.

Seeing a game is Ubisoft makes it a total nonstarter. I refuse to have to have a separate account and be forced to log into it just to play a goddamn game.

When I need to focus, I have an entire playlist of Weather Channel type jazz. It’s energetic enough to give me baseline stimulation but not so much to turn on party mode, and being instrumental means it doesn’t steal the attention of the words part of my brain and wreck my ability to actually do work.

Can’t speak on the rest, but I am so glad skinny jeans are finally going out of fashion. That couldn’t happen soon enough.

Full agree. Get his product’s name as part of the general term and it’d confuse people into thinking it was the original.

I’ve never heard the term “threadiverse”. Where are you coming across it?

Depends entirely on the person and what things they want out of a social life.

For me, if I didn’t have social media, there’s a lot I’d miss out on. It’s how two of my main social communities communicate any of their events, and it’s a big part of a third. There would definitely be a negative impact for me if I nuked all my accounts.

You can certainly build your life to have your definition of a thriving social life without it, but you’ll have to go out of your way to find those groups that use other methods for communication.

People on bikes riding against traffic. Get in the correct lane, you dinguses.

I think if you want meaningful recommendations, you have to say:

• why you want to get away from Fedora
• what you liked about Fedora that kept you there until now
• what you hope you’d get from a new distro
• any nonstarters that would keep you away from a distro

Without knowing those things, it’s just going to be people proselytizing their favorite distros rather than suggesting one that will fit what you’re looking for.

I think at best it will be gradual, and it won’t be Kbin that takes over, but the combination of Kbin, Lemmy, and whatever other applications that pop up that handle the same Fediverse link aggregation.

Even then, there seems to be a resistance to Federated services by the bulk of the population, so if someone can make another centralized, capital-funded link aggregator, I’d guess that it would pick up more of the Reddit exodus than here.

In OP’s situation where they’re downloading a car, I think it’s a safe assumption that the car has already been designed/engineered and OP is just printing it out and assembling it. This would be akin to a kit car, and modern kit cars certainly don’t require specialized engineering skills to assemble.

I never found anything that I considered “budget”. Even the cheapest split mechs on ebay are $100, and I don’t think I’d trust any of those.

If you give up the mechanical part and just want to try a split, I’m seeing those starting around $40 shipped.

When you say “stagger”, do you mean not-ortholinear? If so, I’m confused as both the Sweep and Corne are ortholinear.

It seems rather ironic to make that post on a fediverse service.

Six does look great. I really appreciate the Zangief redesign and how it takes him looking like a bodybuilder to looking like a strongman competitor. Hopefully they’ll be an analogue to Champion Edition so I can pick it up for a bit less and not have to pay extra for half the roster.

You could always try booting up a Live CD and testing it out. It’ll run a bit slower than a native install, but it’s a super-easy way to check things out.

Which is hilarious to me because how Linux handles application installations/updates though package management is so much easier than anything on the Microsoft side. No muss, no fuss, no chasing down dependencies, just “install X” and X is now cleanly installed on your system as well as everything it needs to run.

Wing Commander: Privateer.

I’ll never forget when I went over to my friend’s house and I couldn’t understand how the pirates weren’t attacking him. And then we loaded up my save (off a 3.5" floppy) and he couldn’t understand how the militia weren’t attacking me. It’s the first time we were ever exposed to factions that responded to your actions.

I sank so much time in that game. Never paid too much attention to the storyline, but I did have the fastest ship with highest-end targeting computer and a full load-out of the best weapons.

I assume by “realism” they’re talking about setting, not that those games are simulations of what it’s like to get shot at.
