Oh, good to know. I do 90% of my Lemmying in Connect, so I didn't notice the behavior elsewhere.

Thank you very much!

[–] clay_pidgin 2 points 2 days ago

Oh, apologies. Thanks.

 

I have had the problem several times where I search for a post or comment that I know exists, but because I've got "hide after vote" enabled, it doesn't show up in search results. It's there a way to see hidden posts/comments in the search results?

As suggested, here are some other games for which I can send codes. (These are from Amazon prime if you care)

  • Dark Deity: Complete Edition (GOG)

  • The Smurfs 2 - The Prisoner of the Green Stone (GOG)

  • Dark Sky (GOG)

If anyone knows how to to give away the games that go through Epic, I will post those too. I probably have an epic account somewhere but I won't play them. Those games are:

  • Let's Build a Zoo

  • Session: Skate Sim

  • Mortal Shell

  • Crime Boss: Rockay City

  • Lysfanga: The Time Shift Warrior

  • Sands of Aura

  • Skydrift Infinity

Same story on Amazon games. If you know a way to claim them, let me know.

  • Clouds & Sheep 2

  • Endling: Extinction is Forever

  • Naheulbeuk's Dungeon Master (this looks cool)

  • Sine Mora EX

  • Night Reverie

  • Surf World Series

  • Spirit Mancer

I didn't think of that, good idea.

Free game codes (self.freegames)
 

I'll put some game codes in the comments, reply to let others know you've claimed it!

I loved it but I have no idea what was going on! Many of the panels have too much detail to parse.

 

Dark theme is almost impossible to see. Dark blue on dark gray and black is a mess, at least in my phone.

Vidbir 2025 discussion (self.eurovision)
submitted 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) by clay_pidgin to c/eurovision@lemmy.world
 

Vidbir, the Ukrainian national selection, was yesterday. Did you watch it? What were your favorite songs?

Full recording (4.5 hours with passable English translation)

Playlist of music videos

My favorite was Future Culture's Waste My Time. It's going on my new "Not good enough for Eurovision but good enough for me" playlist. (Inspired by the Eurovangelists podcast) I'll concede that it was unlikely to be chosen because it's not particularly "Ukrainian", which has been successful for them recently.

 

Hiya folks, the last PC I built had a top-of-the-line ATI Radeon 9800 in an AGP port. I'm on a PowerSpec prebuilt now, which is working fine.

My kids are ready to graduate from the spare laptop to an actual PC, and I want to build it with them so they learn about ESD and the joys of thermal paste. I plan to have the kids upgrade these in pieces over the next few years as/if they grow to need more power.

They mostly play minecraft, fortnight, and roblox. They don't care about max graphics or AAAA games or max FPS yet, but maybe they will in the future. I still don't.

I'm trying to keep it under $800, and I already have OK but not great 1080p work monitors.

Here's my first draft: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/vxcfFZ

I'm very open to suggestions on any front!

Just watched this on streaming. It's about a young woman who stops aging and her difficulty in maintaining relationships as an ageless person. Blake lively is great in it and Harrison Ford is remarkable. Has anyone else seen it?

Howdy,

Debian is complaining that /boot is full and no wonder, it's only 488 MiB. I see some stuff I can remove, but I also want to resize the partition. other than a tiny /boot the rest is taken up by an LVM volume for my /home. I figured I'd split it up someday and LVM looked interesting.

Gparted let me shrink the LVM volume a bit to make a 1.5Gib space, but I can't seem to increase the /boot EXT2 partition with that free space.

KDE partition manager lets me resize the LVM partition but I also can't increase the size of /boot.

I'm thinking it's something about the LVM logical vs physical volumes.

What am I missing? I did all of this from live USBs of Fedora and Kubuntu and Pop! to see if it made a difference. There don't seem to be many GUI LVM tools but I worry I'm making some fundamental mistake because I've resized partitions for years without issue. Any help would be appreciated.

As a side note, why does KDE ppartition Manager think my big LVM volume is mostly full? It isn't even close, maybe 25% used.

I came here to post the radio show and learned there was a TV show too! Gonna check it out.

I heard they can kill a man with a glance and maybe they can breathe fire, but my cousin wasn't sure about that one. Will the Trident and net even work against them?

 

Hi, I switched my desktop to Linux full time many months ago and I'm never going back. My kids want gaming PCs for Minecraft, Roblox, fortnight, etc. Kid games for now.

Hardware

I've been planning to show my kids how to build their own computers, and I think I can 2 for 1 this. My current PC is a prebuilt Ibuypower, and the last computer I assembled had an AGP slot. I know spinning metal is out generally. Other than picking an AMD graphics card what tips can you offer me?

Software

I want to give them the opportunity to learn and fail, so I don't think I would go with an immutable distro. Thoughts? Assuming a separate /home I think having to reinstall once in a while is a good lesson.

Firefox with full add blocking of course.

Is there an application for managing screen time, and while they're still little I'd be interested in some kind of blocking/filtering.

Thanks folks!

 

Hello,

I've been using a pair of $20 no-name BT earbuds from Amazon for the last few years and they worked well enough for me, but the quality is starting to show in physical problems. The electronics still work fine but the charging ports have come loose etc. It's time for new earbuds and I would appreciate input.

I use the earbuds only with an Android phone (Google Pixel 6 Pro), and I don't use the assistant or AI or voice commands. My current earbuds have a terrible microphone so I can't make calls with them - improving this would maybe be nice but is not a big deal.

Features:

  • Price - Under $150 maybe? Soft limit I guess

  • Touch controls of some kind - mandatory. (start stop, volume)

  • Wireless charging of the case/battery pack - very cool, would be nice. Not mandatory

  • Case charging connector - USB-C I guess but Micro USB is fine. No Proprietary chargers because I tend to lose cables

  • Built-in assistant / AI / voice control - I won't use it and I don't want it. As long as I can ignore it I don't care what features of this type are included

  • Noise cancelling - Some is better than none but I don't need ultra-deluxe sound deadening 2000 pro 2.0

  • Sound quality - don't care. I'm not an audiophile, and I can't tell the difference between bitrates. I mostly listen to spoken podcasts and audiobooks, only occasionally music

  • Toughness - I won't wear them in the pool or in a sandstorm. I dropped the current ones only vary rarely

  • Shape - I prefer the replaceable rubber ear tips (what are they actually called?) to the hard nubs

 

I only saw the 20 minutes or so I described in the title, but it looked interesting. Searching reveals lots of movies about the civil war, but as far as I could tell it wasn't really part of the story except as the reason the husband left.

It looked like a 90s movie, or possibly a 2000s TV movie. I didn't recognize any actors, but I'm bad at that so I can't assume the wife wasn't super famous.
