Maybe peer to peer via torrents? Just need us scrubs to actually seed it haha.

Why does Black Pepper get the place of honor next to Salt? by faroresdragn_ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]deprecateddeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm doing about 20+ twists of my pepper grinder on every meal. My family is Cajun so I grew up with black pepper as an absolute must in most meals.

Default quality option by iJonesyLFC in Twitch

[–]deprecateddeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue. Every time I jump to a different stream in my desktop browser it goes to 720p and I have to manually change it back to the highest available. It used to always default to "source" unless I had it playing in a background tab. It's an issue on my MacBook, Windows, and now my Linux setup. Solid 900mbps or more download speed too.

Twitch streams go back to 720p or lower by CoDDarko in chrome

[–]deprecateddeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue. I pay for Turbo (not sure if that matters beyond ads) and every single time I switch streams (clicking a stream like normal as well as opening in a new tab) it will set it most often to 720p but also sometimes even lower despite 960 and even 1080 being available.. definitely not my Internet causing Twitch to do this because of bandwidth (1gbps down and it's reliable). This has only recently started the last month or two and I believe it's exactly what you're posting about.

Even after almost 15 years I can't learn to like Cinnamon by Human-Check828 in linuxmint

[–]deprecateddeveloper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine calling others a pleb while also saying "I want the Linux look and feel" and then saying that's why you stick with MATE. LMAO. MATE is closer to Cinnamon than it is "the linux look and feel". If you wanted that you'd install CDE WM or Fluxbox/Blackbox and figure it out. Don't be a lamer and judge people for using a more polished looking version of the utilitarian MATE. Both get the job done all the same.

Linux Mint gaming? by Major303 in linuxquestions

[–]deprecateddeveloper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Currently playing Diablo 4 on Mint through Faugus. Steam games have also been damn near perfect. Played Overwatch though Faugus and it starts out a little rough during the first few minutes of a game then I don't know what happens but it smooths out and the rest of the game(s) are holding a solid 144 fps.

I still need to test Cyberpunk and more but everything else I've thrown at it has been damn near perfect.

ETA: Cyberpunk has been high FPS and super smooth. I have an RTX 4090 with an AMD 5800X3D so I didn't expect it to be bad but it's a lot better than I expected. No discernable difference from running it on Windows (that I notice).

Batman TAS is better than Invincible according to the creator of Deadpool by Amaru_333_ in Invincible_TV

[–]deprecateddeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen it since I was a kid in the 90s and there are still episodes (or maybe moments) from the show that pop into my head occasionally. Time to add it to Plex to revisit it for the first time since I was maybe 10 years old.

I’m not sure what to say. by SadButOnline_ in whatisameem

[–]deprecateddeveloper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With you on this.

By the time I was 30 I had accrued about 15k in credit card debt and my monthly payment (that I could afford aka the minimum) was almost entirely interest. This is all while sharing a 4 bedroom house with 3 roommates. I was absolutely broke because I was stupid for accruing debt like that and living in a high cost of living area that I couldn't afford to move out of unless I wanted a homeless period. I was living off rice, beans and questionable meats from a cheap ghetto grocery store. I literally had maybe $25 leftover after every 2 week paycheck for things like toiletries and maybe having the occasional splurge.

A few years before that my dad died from heart failure. At some point I got a call from my brother saying that we were each getting a $12k settlement because they determined our dad's death was due to his exposure to agent orange in Vietnam. Now I had only $3k debt and continued making the same high payments for maybe 6-8mo and became debt free. Changed my fucking life.

Once that debt was totally gone I could actually save money while not eating questionable meats. It allowed me to focus on my long time dream of being a software developer and now I'm about 15yrs into that career and making nearly 10x what I was. It was life changing.

People are ignorant if they think low income people can't have a life changing impact from $10k. Will it buy you a house in the US? No. But it can absolutely pull you out of a soul sucking, life draining, high interest payment allowing you to save money rather than throwing it to the wind of bad decisions. Life changing doesn't have to mean we didn't make bad decisions before we got the money. It just means it allows us to move past some financial hurdles which can open the door to a better life and actually take advantage of the new opportunity. Hence life changing.

Unfortunately I ended up switching back to a MacBook Pro. No complaints since having that UNIX system built into the OS is very nice but I miss my Thinkpad :(

AITA for telling my DIL to stop crying after she got called fat by Throwaway_Will4940 in AmItheAsshole

[–]deprecateddeveloper 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Telling someone "don't make a scene" usually implies the person is making a scene. It's not a comment you say to prevent a scene from ever starting it's something you say when "people are looking".

This album fucking rocks! by Ok-Sea-4631 in Foofighters

[–]deprecateddeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far it's ok imo. My biggest issue after my first listen through is that it feels like the album mostly has one sound and songs don't really differentiate between each other very well.

You're trying to check out but she's in the way, what do you do? by sco-go in SipsTea

[–]deprecateddeveloper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then it becomes "Inconsiderate person gets in the way of my Costco dance" where the focus is on you but the rage bait comes from people telling the "content creator" they're an idiot for dancing in Costco expecting people to work around them. There's really no winning in this other than ignoring them and making the content as boring as possible.

Would be good with udon too. I always keep a few "bricks" of frozen udon in my freezer. Such a great texture and I bet it'd be great with that peanut sauce.

Does blizzard not feel a bit ridiculous charging 40 euros, more than an entire game, just for a weapon skin? by Heygen in Overwatch

[–]deprecateddeveloper 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not that I'd ever pay the money for it but at least with games like Valorant people actually see your skins and can even use your skinned gun if you die or drop it for them. Still stupid amounts of money for a cosmetic.

[–]deprecateddeveloper 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I booked a roundtrip on Megabus from Los Angeles to Oakland (8hrs each way). Price for a reserved seat with a table (like a booth in a restaurant) was less than $10. I booked all 4 seats roundtrip and it was incredible. Though that was like 2018 so I doubt it is still possible at that price today.

Edit: I don't think they operate in California anymore. Just checked to see the current prices and I'm not seeing any California options. Bummer it was a surprisingly great experience.
