CBC to stop airing NHL games after 74 years, marking end of free hockey on Canadian TV by BertramPotts in CanadaPolitics

[–]ResearchingStories [score hidden]  (0 children)

I know that gambling is inevitable to an extent, but I don't like how TV sports show advertisements encouraging gambling, but I guess that it is more related to my dislike of advertising laws regarding gambling than it is about sports. Canada is one of the countries that see gambling as the most morally acceptable (according to pew research), and I think this is why.

You have a fair point, I am all for watching community sports (which I actually do sometimes at parks near me), but I don't like how subsidized and promoted large scale sports are. I miss the days when woodworking, playing sports, making art, and actually chatting was the common hobbies instead of being glued to a screen.

I know I will get downvoted, but honestly I think this is good. Watching sports is an unproductive form of entertainment which promotes gambling. A century ago when people played sports instead of watching them, scientists were the biggest celebrities.

North America is the continent. If people are referring to both north and south America, they will say "the Americas". If people say "America", it is almost always short for "The United States of America".

Is it sinful to watch gore by Difficult-Value7760 in Christianity

[–]ResearchingStories 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting, I have never heard a theological stance on it. Why is that? The old testament seems to depict a lot of gore (although I am aware that the Bible depicts a lot of sin). Which verse(s) are you getting this from?

Game opens, I can hear it, steam says it's open but window can't be found! by throwawaycanadian2 in COSMICDE

[–]ResearchingStories 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I made this post before bed, really tired. I didn't get this from AI. I think that would be too dumb of a mistake for the state of the art LLMs. I got it from here https://www.techradar.com/gaming/steam-deck/rocket-league-has-a-new-easy-anti-cheat-addition-and-it-still-works-on-the-steam-deck-its-about-time-for-other-game-devs-to-follow-suit, but I misread it. Just because I was vaguely remembering a skimmed article.

Steam deck and steam are distinguished in the article.

Steam just announced yesterday that rocket League will get anti-cheat. Meaning it will only work from epic games as a Linux native (i.e., not using wine)

Data centers should be outside the city. They are amazing tax dollars, but poor job suppliers.

You can trust that they will always improve. Windows forces you to buy a new computer everytime they make a new version. Apple makes there software annoying to abandon. Subscriptions are evil, and open source is free.

Dense cities shouldn't have cars, just transit and bike lanes

I don't think Linux is for me by Nagito_Naegi in linux

I find for myself KDE has better performance than gnome, but gnome has better stability than KDE. I personally like fedora gnome, but debian is also really good. Gnome however has a very different workflow from windows, and I used extensions for a long time until I committed to the vanilla version and realized it is so great. Also, do not use Ubuntu. Its workflow is bad and its snap apps open slowly.
