How about you stop assuming everyone on the internet lives in the USA?

thinks queer people are the ones who are confused

Not a native English speaker, so I might be completely wrong, but doesn't the word 'queer' litteraly mean 'confused' / 'weird'? Not that it makes a difference in this context, I'm just wondering

No, I've met a lot of people like you, but honestly, I have a hard time understanding why you feel that way. I'm in a couple of small group chats with people I'm friends with in real life. A group chat makes it easier to organize meeting up and sharing pictures with everyone after. Besides that, in a group chat I feel less pressure to reply, because if I'm not interested in a topic or have nothing to say, someone else will pick up and the person who started it won't feel ignored. In the same way, I feel I am able to share more easily, as I am not putting pressure on any one person to respond and I don't risk feeling rejected, but often a person who I wouldn't have expected to be intressed responds to my message that I would have not sent them personally so I feel like I get to know them better. I have no shame in admitting that I often mute these group chats when I'm trying to focus on something or am not interested in the current topic. However, I also know what it means to be in a group chat where I know almost no one and they are talking about thinks that only relate to them, so maybe that's the majority of the experience you've had?

I imagine a kid who's smart enough to use a vpn, downloading a bunch of videos, and then selling usb drives to their friends at school, or sharing them via gdrive

Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? in c/patientgamers

[–] Rez 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes, it's really good! I do think that it can become a bit repetitive towards the end, but it's worth it for the beginning moments of exploration and discovery. If you haven't played a similar game like Morrowind before, I'd recommend looking for a guide that would explain character creation and skills. I never played the original, so I am no purist and would encourage you to check out some QoL mods and definitely turn on smaller dungeons in the settings, even for a first playtrough. Have fun, if you decide to try it!

Surely "1337" is the same as 1337, right? in c/[email protected]

[–] Rez 38 points 5 months ago (11 children)

Wouldn't the answer be "10" in that case?

It's almost the week-end, what are you guys going to play? Also, could we have a monthly thread for July? in c/patientgamers

[–] Rez 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I bought The Farmer Was Replaced yestarday, so I'll probably be finishing it over the weekend. It's a cute programming incremental game, but if you have 0 experience with writing code the later challenges might get too difficult

What is your favourite game with native Linux port? in c/[email protected]

[–] Rez 29 points 6 months ago

I was going to say Factorio as well! :D Hollow Knight has a native port and is a fantastic game, but my favorite games are ones like OpenMW or DevilutionX where the entire engine is remade from the ground up and open-source

I don't use crossbows in video games (self.letstalkaboutgames)

In all the games I've played (one exception being Half-Life, but that's different) I really don't like using crossbows and avoid doing so at all costs. I don't really know why that is, but to me they don't seem to fit the setting of games like Elder Scrolls or Gothic. I love using regular bows, however. Maybe crossbows feel too modern for me? I don't really know anything about medieval weapons or when they were invented.

What about you? How do you feel about crossbows in these types of games or do you have a similar weird thing you just don't like and refuse to do in video games?

Help updating to Fedora 40 (self.linux)

submitted 7 months ago by Rez to c/[email protected]

Hello, I've installed Fedora 38 (KDE spin), about the time it came out and need a little help updating it.

I got a system update through Discover when 39 came out, I updated it restarted, and I didn't think much of it. Now that Fedora 40 came out, I did the same thing, but this time, after the update, I checked the system information in the settings, and it says that I am still running Fedora 38!

I have a dual boot system with Windows 10 (ugh, but I need it for work) and I noticed that in grub the option to boot Fedora also says 38. There are also some recovery boot options.

I'm confused and don't know what to do to update to 40? Would really like to avoid doing a fresh install.

I'd say I'm a novice Linux user, but this is the first time in dealing with something like this, so sorry if I missed some crucial information, will provide anything needed to help fix this issue.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a low-end setup (self.localllama)

I have a laptop with a Ryzen 7 5700U, 16 GB ram, running Fedora 38 linux.
I'm looking to run a local uncensored LLM, I'd like to know what would be the best model and software to run it.
I'm currently running KoboldAI and Erebus 2.7b. It's okay in terms of speed, but I'm wondering if there's anything better out there. I guess, I would prefer something that is not web-ui based to lower the overhead, if possible.
I'm not very well versed in all the lingo yet, so please keep it simple.
Thanks!

How private am I? (self.privacy)

submitted 1 year ago by Rez to c/[email protected]

I think we all draw a line between privacy and convenience and I think I found mine and settled into a comfort zone of sorts. I use Fedora 38. My browser is Mozilla Firefox with it's "strict" setting. uBlock origin and uMatrix. When I need/want to use a site that doesn't work due to blocked connections I relax the restrictions in uMatrix or temporarily disable it entirely if I get frustrated or I'm in a hurry. I watch videos on YouTube. Don't use social media, but I do use Facebook messenger (although I prefer to use Signal with the handful of people I can). I use a Xiaomi phone with custom ad blocking DNS (I'd like to get a Pixel with GrapheneOS someday). I look for an app on F-Droid first, but install it through Google Play if I can't find what I need there. I use Qwant and DuckDuckGo. I use ReVanced. I do not use a VPN. I think that's all the relevant information. My question is: how easy do you think it still is for big tech to track me? Are there any suggestions you would have for a person like me that wouldn't sacrifice too much convenience?
