Who is the coolest person you know of? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

So many downvotes. I thought it was funny! But I suppose some people might need context:

Is it too late to develop a social life in your mid 20s if you never had one prior? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 4 points 4 months ago

Congrats on graduating! And to answer your question: no, it's not too late. However, fair warning: it does seem to get harder to develop a social life the older you get. But by no means impossible.

Arch Linux – Best Tips for Beginners? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] onlooker@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 months ago

Are you talking about archinstall or have they actually automated the default installation method?

Do yourself a favour and install it on a virtual machine first. Screwing up an install on Arch is frighteningly easy. The Arch Wiki is your friend, use it. Also, read the installation instructions before you begin the installation, not during. If this sounds like too much of a headache (understandably so), then give EndeavourOS a whirl.

What's the third logo? I recognize the rest, but not the rotated blue G or whatever it is.

Where did this HAARP nonsense I keep hearing about come from? (lemmy.ml)
 

So, I heard several people now mention HAARP as the cause for all the natural disasters that have been happening lately. And here I thought the cause was rampant pollution and global warming!

But seriously, I'm looking at the HAARP page on wikipedia and it seems to be an array for studying the ionosphere? How in the hell do you go from "we're using this to see what's happening way up there in the sky" to "this causes tornadoes"? Who even started this garbage?

Optimal stress levels. (lemmy.ml)
 

This is an email I came across at work. I seriously can't believe they're trying to justify being stressed. It may not be as caustic as other posts you see on here, but it still kinda pissed me off.

Post was not made by me, by the way. I didn't leave (or join) PINE64, it's just the title of the article.

Diablo Immortal is now banned in China (lemmy.ml)
 

This is hilarious. Blizzard created Diablo Immortal with the express purpose of getting their foot into the Chinese market. Then some genius at Blizzard had the brilliant idea to make a post on Weibou (a social network in China) to make fun of Xi Jinping:

Welp, there goes that Tencent money. Couldn't have happened to a nicer company, too.

Does anyone else dislike Bluray discs? (lemmy.ml)

For me, they're more trouble than they're worth. For wanting to support your favorite artists, I'm rewarded with unskippable trailers and FBI warnings, and if you want to play Blurays on PC, well... Just take a look at this. Keydb files? BD+ decryption? What happened to just putting the stupid disc in the machine and hitting play?

With pirated movies and shows, I just double-click on a file and away I go. Why would I ever want to go back to Blurays?

Can anyone tell me what the heck web3 actually is? (lemmy.ml)
 

I mean specifically, what criteria does a webpage have to fulfill for it to be considered web3 compliant?

Because all I see around the web are people waxing poetic about freedom, ownership and whatnot without really saying anything. There's no consensus, there's no whitepaper, just... vague, nondescript ideas.

What's the cheapest hardware that can playback videos at 1080p? (lemmy.ml)
 

There are so many options out there, it's kind of dizzying.

I'm looking for a cheap solution that I could hook up to a TV and ethernet, so it could run a flavor of Linux (or BSD) and play videos at 1080p. Bonus points if it can handle 1080p@60 FPS. Other than that, it would be used for light web browsing.

I was looking at Raspberry Pi 4, but is there anything else you would suggest?
