Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?
  • Steam, I can install the Steam client without any problems on moat distros, also Valve has done a lot of things to make the Linux gaming better.

    Gog doesn't have a desktop app for Linux, they're focused totally Windows so I don't care about it.

    If I want "DRM free" games, then I pay for the original version with DRM and then pirate it to play whenever I want.

  • What is the worst experience you've had reading a book?
  • Almost every book I read back when I was a school student.

    Each month we had to read a boring book chosen by the school, and at the end of each month we had a annoying test with questions like: "When the protagonist discovered the truth, what was the emotion he felt?" Or "How did the author felt when writing this?" So I had to read 300 pages of a boring book and pay attention to each detail each month.

    I don't dislike reading, actually I enjoy good books, but reading something against my will is sickening.

  • What is your favorite part of the day?
  • 23:00 - 06:30 , no one bothers me, I bother no one, just me and the quiet environment, perfect to grab a coffee, study and work without anything to take my focus away.

  • Ctrl+Alt+T
  • You should try the ranger file manager, thanks to that I almost don't use GUI file managers unless I have a headache

  • Relative size comparison of social media platforms (December 2023)
  • Me, tbh I don't like meta but the groups in facebooks is probably what keeps me there, for example there is a group about an anime and the guys there literally translate the new volumes of the novel months faster than other piracy sites, almost in the moment, there is also the memes and other posts that only appear around those groups. Not even reddit has that content, so what keeps me attached to facebook is mainly anime groups

  • Could we send electric data across time?
  • Idk, but it really sounds like something that could be possible in a future. Sending matter sounds difficult since the mass problem but electric information has barely any mass (or it does not?) Something really difficult would be calculating the possition of earth in the universe in the past and sending a signal to a receptor in the past earth

  • Where can I find translated Visual Novels?
  • ryuugames.com (Has a lot of +18 content)

  • subs > dubs
  • Try using japanese subtitles in animes you have already seen, it helps a lot honestly.

  • subs > dubs
  • I can't stand dubs, I think that japanese VA are a lot better. Anyway, I have been reading subs since I was 8 years old so I read them so fast that it doesn't bother me.

  • 日本語の週刊練習スレッドしようか
  • (I'll try to write without a translator so my text may be wrong) こんにちは、最近日本語の単語を勉強しました、理由が読みにできたいけど漢字は本当多い。正直もしかしてこれはただの時間の事、多分一年からは必要だ。 ところでどんな本は日本語の学びがいい?最近「元気」がよみていました、でもいつも私はもっと本の読むが欲しい

    What I tried to write: Hello, lately I have been studying japanese vocabulary, the reason is I want to be able to read but there are lot's of kanjis. To be honest it's a matter of time, probably just one more year is necessary for that. By the way, what book could be good for learing japanese? I have been recently reading "Genki" but I'm always searching for more books to read.

  • Nothing to see here
  • Israel became worse than Hamas. I'm not saying Hamas are the good guys, both sides have killed civilians.

  • Deleted
    How do you go about taking notes?
  • Plain text files, all files sorted like 01S-C1 which means number 01 of a solution on C1 normally the last part means something like idk Linux? For example I solved a problem in my computer for the fifth time so I write 05S-L1.txt

  • remember, kids
  • Greater imperfection and greatest thing. We want more, we get better, we make stuff, but at some point we end up being damaged by our ambition.

  • A repost from r/linuxmemes - Because I saw the original comic
  • That's true but...I have been in GNI/Linux for just a year and have been reading how Ubuntu nowdays is awful but it was a great distro a few years ago.

    Anyway, my opinion on Ubuntu has no weight since all I have used is Arch based distros

  • Imagine voting for someone that wants to get rid of the department of education.
  • Then in that case the rational violence would have been totally against the government, instead they damaged things used by low/middle class citizens and not things that actually would piss off politicians, they also damaged small businesses (literally run by families)

    If they are going to use violence against citizens then they have no justification.

  • Imagine voting for someone that wants to get rid of the department of education.
  • What I mention is what happened in October of 2019 in Chile.

    Yeah, I know that they need to attract attention to a protest to be listened. BUT by no means it justifies destroying and robbing small businesses, burning churches and destroy schools (while asking for better education)

    They literally went and made a mess of things. They could have just made a crowd, block the road, go to the government institutions but they choosed violence to other citizens. After that they left things even worse than they were, that's a sign of lack of common sense and responsibility.

    Many people lost their jobs, schools ended with heavy damag, the Metro stations where I live ended up in a mess, and for some reason they burned churches. Yeah.

  • F#€k $pez
  • I went back to reddit to see how are things going, just one day and I can conclude that Lemmy has become superior.

  • Imagine voting for someone that wants to get rid of the department of education.
  • Both far left and far right are always stupid. At least here in my country Far left: Burns and destroy local business and destroy public transport used by all citizens just to protest and then for some reason blame the police for that. Far right: Constantly having hallucinations about the United Nations being controlled by far left and vaccines = poison.

    Both are in a competence to show who has less neurons.

  • Imagine voting for someone that wants to get rid of the department of education.
  • Well, if they have been voting the same for two decades and everything has gone wrong, at least something different may change things,but they cannot be worse lol.

  • Searching for a 'library manager' that looks awesome.

    As the title says. I have been searching for something like Kodi but more focused on an offline library manager for all the media I have. I can just navigate with the file explorer through my folders but it just looks not that pretty. Is there anything like a library manager to display my videos/music in a similar way of big online platforms? Since I have a lot of things to watch on my drive I don't actually use much internet lately and I'm searching for something like a good looking UI, but probably I'm not very good at searching :(

    Do you know a anything like that?

    What are your motivations or goals that make you learn Japanese?

    Mine was at the beginning to be able to read Visual Novels, but now is more than that, I like to learn more and there are few sensations like understanding new "symbols" as words.

    Searching for VNs about Vampires.

    I have been reading a few VNs since the last years but I have not found any recommendation about a Visual Novel about vampires. If you know a good VN about vampires please recommend me one (I like stories about vampires)

    YSK: Simplewall is a free tool to have more control over your internet on your desktop. (For Windows)

    I found about this a few months ago, it's a free tool that makes the task of managing the internet access of programs a easy one. For example, you can select exactly which process can access the internet manually, of course blocking some system things on windows will disable the connection totally until reactivated.

    With this I can prevent apps from updating when I don't need it them online.

    Each time you execute a new program if it tries to connect to the internet it will be blocked by simplewall and ask you if allow or not.

    It is compatible with windows 7 and higher versions.

    You should read how to use it and what it does before installing it.

    The program is open source and it's on GitHub: https://github.com/henrypp/simplewall

    Is ChatGPT a reliable tool for learning?

    When I mean learning I do not mean translating big sentences or something like that, I mean things like: "Is this japanese sentence correctly written? 雲の日が好きです" In this example it answered: "

    Yes, the Japanese sentence "雲の日が好きです" is correctly written. It translates to "I like cloudy days" in English. Here's a breakdown of the sentence:

    • 雲 (くも/kumo): This means "cloud."
    • の (no): This is a possessive particle that indicates the relationship between "cloud" and "day" in this context.
    • 日 (ひ/hi): This means "day."
    • が (ga): This is a subject marker particle that marks "cloudy day" as the subject of the sentence.
    • 好きです (すきです/suki desu): This means "like" or "to like" and is a polite way of expressing one's preference. The verb 好き (suki) means "to like," and です (desu) is a polite copula used to indicate politeness and formality.

    Therefore, the sentence "雲の日が好きです" correctly conveys the meaning "I like cloudy days" in Japanese.

    "

    Is this correct,do you consider it reliable?

    Sometimes I also ask some questions like: "What function does 'こと' grammatically fulfill on this sentence? .... "

    Looking for VNs with 'formal' vocab

    (Sorry if my english is wrong)

    Hello, I have been learning japanese on my own for a few months now (Reading Genki, WaniKani, PDFs, etc) . My main goal for now is to reach a good level to use Visual novels (In japanese of course) with Yomichan + Textractor to learn new vocab.

    I have been reading about this on the internet and many people says that Visual novels often lack normal vocab or they use unusual vocab. Is there any Visual novel with formal vocabulary and that you would recommend?

    Thanks.
