Heyy I’ve been looking around at different android apps and I think I’ve also settled on “Read You.” Thank you for the list, I haven’t heard of lots of them like MariusHosting and they look interesting

Which feeds do you watch for automation? I also like automating what I can lol

The TF2 community has been going strong! There’s even been a revitalization of classic custom game modes like TFWare, Balloon race, Dodgeball, Smash Bros, Randomizer, Class Wars, etc: https://teamwork.tf/community/quickplay

I use Duplicati for my backups, and have backup retention set up like this:

Save one backup each day for the past week, then save one each week for the past month, then save one each month for the past year.

That way I have granual backups for anything recent, and the further back in the past you go the less frequent the backups are to save space

Oh no those look really good

Thank you

I also really appreciate these, a bunch of cool projects I haven’t heard of before this week

Thank you, I didn’t know this existed!

The parents are getting a divorce, meaning the kid will celebrate Christmas twice, once with each parent

The pinebook’s privacy switches (for WiFi/BT, camera, and microphone) operate at the firmware level, the operating system has no control over them

https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_Pro#Privacy_Switches

The keyboard operates on firmware independent of the operating system. It detects if one of the F10, F11 or F12 keys is pressed in combination with the Pine key for 3 seconds. Doing so disables power to the appropriate peripheral, thereby disabling it. This has the same effect as cutting off the power to each peripheral with a physical switch. This implementation is very secure, since the firmware that determines whether a peripheral gets power is not part of the Pinebook Pro’s operating system. So the power state value for each peripheral cannot be overridden or accessed from the operating system. The power state setting for each peripheral is stored across reboots inside the keyboard’s firmware flash memory.

I could be completely wrong, but I think one of the first anomaly detection games was called “I’m on observation duty” which came out in 2018, but didn’t really get popular until late 2021 (when the fourth game in the series same out), about the same time “The exit 8” released funny enough.

That game is a little different where the player flips around security cameras and reports anomalies as they come up, but I think exit 8 was the first anomaly detection games that is “looping” and you have to decide whether to go forward or back depending on if there’s an anomaly

Just waiting for the achievement reenabling mod so I can play with some of the real nice QoL tweaks

I would love a source for this to pull up in future discussions

I also highly recommend the movie, one of my all time favorites (and not because of this scene)

Ack librefm completely slipped my mind

AFAIK they’re two separate projects for the same/similar goal. I know ListenBrainz has a recommendation system, but it might still be in it’s early days

There’s ListenBrainz, the open MusicBrainz version of last.fm

The scout’s voice actor (Nathan Vetterlein) used to be super active, but a few years ago he said he’d be going on an “indefinite break” while he focused on other goals he had in life (presumably to do more than just be the “TF2 scout guy”).

His linked in currently says he’s working as a principle game designer at Wizards of the Coast

But I agree, with the other voice actors getting together and doing all these fun projects it would be awesome to see him again

Semantle is pretty fun. For every word you guess it tells you how semantically similar it is to the secret word.

You get unlimited guesses, so there’s no shame in throwing words at the wall and seeing what sticks

Well shit. That hit deep.

Thank you.

Haven’t tried it personally, but this might work: https://github.com/zelikos/davincibox

Basically, instead of creating a fedora distrobox and installing davinci resolve in there, this is a pre built image that has all the dependencies and such ready to go.

Ooo and there’s even a serious looking page “explaining” it as the first result when looking it up on Google

I’m definitely stealing this idea
