Surely "1337" is the same as 1337, right? by Rez in c/programmer_humor@programming.dev

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

What is your favourite game with native Linux port? by Rez in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml

[-] Rez@sh.itjust.works 29 points 4 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 (sh.itjust.works)

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?

Did tiktok change something? by Rez in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

Yeah, we have this unwritten rule in my friend group to never send links to any videos no matter where they're from. You download the video and send the file

Help updating to Fedora 40 (sh.itjust.works)

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!

Youtube search results have been garbage for a while now :(

The Boost android client for Lemmy is displaying these dark pattern ads pretending to be system notifications. What security/privacy conscious Lemmy clients do you recommend? by Rez in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] Rez@sh.itjust.works 16 points 9 months ago

I'm so used to navigating in Eternity at this point that all other apps seem clunky and unintuitive

There's this stupid theory, that men who "lean in" to the womans side are beta. People who believe this theory post edited pictures of famous couples with an added green line to show how the man is leaning in or show how a man is leaning out to explain that he's an alpha. Obviously, this is complete BS.

X = 10, learn your Roman numerals

Is brave the only browser with fingerprint randomization? by Rez in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

[-] Rez@sh.itjust.works 21 points 11 months ago

But isn't randomization supposed to give you a different unique fingerprint each time? So yes, you would be unique and easily tracked but only until your fingerprint changes

How private am I? (sh.itjust.works)

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?

How do you stop thinking about work at home and home at work? by Rez in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

[-] Rez@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 year ago

Whenever I'm not ar work and a work thought pops into my head I just think "they aren't paying me to think about this now" and then just start thinking about something else
