Lmao, why do you even need to verify your humanity?

Does this eBook downloading thing affect the rest of the Archive? Like, will the entire archive be affected or just the OpenLibrary part of the Archive?

I'm on PC and I haven't noticed anything changed. Literally. I don't notice any bugs nor have I noticed a sudden improvement of my graphics. It seems to me that the 15gb that Steam downloaded, was just full of 0's and don't do anything.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently the new quests and items are part of the update, so in that case I have definitely noticed something lol.

Yeah, I mean, I:

  • Eat at least three times per day (breakfast, lunch and dinner)
  • Exercise three times per week (in the gym, lifting weights)
  • Sleep at least 7 or 8 hours per night
  • Go outside every day
  • Have a skincare routine (although it's not much)
  • Brush my teeth twice per day (after breakfast and before going to sleep)

Holy shit, it's almost unbelievable what lengths some people will go to earn a little bit more money.

Because that's what ultimately the goal is, right? To attract more American viewers and therefore earn more money from the broadcasts. This sounds just as stupid as the 'Beneliga' competition, which was supposed to merge the Dutch and Belgium football competitions.

Tip: if you have an Android TV, you can install SmartTube as an alternative, privacy-friendly YouTube client. It has no ads and sponsorblock integration

I use it to manage my documents, backup my photos from my phone to my server and access all my files from any other device. Basically Nextcloud is my replacement for OneDrive.

Additionally, I have used it in the past to collaborate on various group projects which require documents. For example, I had to make a presentation with some other people and I could create a PowerPoint in Nextcloud, send a share link to others and then we could edit the PowerPoint in realtime with Nextcloud + Collabora, which is pretty cool. It's the only FOSS alternative (at least as far as I'm aware of) that can compete with Microsoft 365 / Google Workspaces.

Honestly, I'm not really excited about the past couple of major Nextcloud releases.

Mainly because there's still one big issue for small-scale Nextcloud servers: performance.

Mainly the web UI is still too slow for me to properly use, which is why I don't use it at all (unless I have to update an app).

It's a bit disappointing that they're mainly focused on the large enterprise customers instead of small hobbyists like me, but it's still understandable; after all, their income is mainly from the enterprise customers, not from selfhosters.

I also don't really like how they've jumped on the AI hypetrain instead of improving performance. But once again, I guess this generates more income for them than focusing on other things like improving performance.

PSG and ManCity are both literally just representatives of the government of Qatar

I personally really hope that we can get Der Klassiker in the UCL final. Bayern vs Dortmund, just like in 2011/2012. Hopefully with a ridiculous choreography prior to the match, just like back then lol.

I don't think, I just do.

I usually keep an end goal in sight; for example, I sometimes dread going to the gym, but I always remember that my goal is to stay fit, have a healthy body and exercising is an important part of that. By sticking to my goal, I maintain my discipline and go to the gym 3 times per week.

Another example is school homework; in my case, my math homework is something I don't enjoy, but I remind myself that I need the math certificate in order to enroll for a Computer Science degree at an university. Therefore, I keep pushing myself to study math and get good grades (which so far has worked pretty well)

Regrowing / regenerating certain body parts.

This could theoretically be done with stemcell stuff, but it's not there yet. However, when we finally reach the point where we can infinitely regenerate our body cells, we'll become effectively "ammortal"; unable to die due to natural causes (such as illness), but we will still die from other people (for example, a bullet to the head)

Besides that, I think nuclear fusion would be an incredible development if we can finally harness it to power our homes.

 

Hi, I'm interested in switching from Windows 10 to Linux, but I was wondering if there is an alternative to Playnite. I would like to have a game launcher that has the following features:

  • Support for Steam, Epic Games, Ubisoft Connect, GOG
  • Support for xbox / ps4 controller
  • Support for emulators (such as Dolphin, RPCS3, etc.)
  • Tracking playtime

Any suggestions? The only one I've checked out is Lutris, which does not have controller support :(

 

I was seriously considering getting a PS5 until I saw the costs of the games + hardware.

 

Hi fellow programmers.

How do you ensure to prevent RSI and/or manage RSI? Especially with your hands and arms.

For those who don't know, RSI is a disorder that occurs when repeating the same movements too much for a long period of time. This frequently occurs when sitting behind a desk and using keyboard and mouse the entire day.

I personally have a great (but expensive) chair with arm rests and have a slightly ergonomic mouse (it has a curve, to make it more comfortable for my thumb).

Honestly, I dislike having to disrupt my computer activities every hour, because I'm usually quite immersed / invested into whatever I'm doing. Whether that's watching a movie, developing an app or simply playing videogames. However, I'll probably have to start taking frequent breaks, in order to prevent RSI from taking a hold in my body. Unfortunately, we only get one body, one chance, so let's not mess it up with neglecting breaks and acquiring RSI.
