What are some poor pieces of advice for life?
  • Listening to the body is a rule of thumb. If you feel bad after eating/drinking something it's probably not good for you. If you cough from something in the air it's not healthy to inhale.

    It's especially true in high octane workout culture like cross-fit, if it hurts then don't continue, this is how you end up with a herniated disc.

    That being said, if you're on heroin you shouldn't listen to the body. Same with cigarettes, junk food, sugary drinks, candy etc. because the body is a dopamine whore.

  • If Trumps tariffs go thru would that not cause the countries the tariffs are imposed on just raise their prices? And a result of that hurt the american consumer? Why do it to begin with?
  • Tarrifs are paid by the importer and cost passed on to the consumer. The idea is to make it comparatively cheaper to buy local and reduce dependency on China. The problem with it is that other countries will impose tarrifs on US exports as well so a lot of people will lose their jobs and prices go up but it will increase local manufacturing jobs on the other hand.

    Generally speaking people are better off when there are no tarrifs

  • Forget "gif" vs "jif" debate. How does one pronounce "Forgejo"?
  • There is one, it's called the IPA or International Phonetic Alphabet and is used mostly by linguist. The IPA spelling changes based on dialects within the same language and if you know all the letters and are able to pronounce them you could in theory read a text written in IPA and the listener could understand it.

  • Is it worth getting into video games?
  • Loads of great experiences and tons of diversity. I've had lot of great experiences through video games and it's never too late to start.

    You could start with by looking through some video game threads and asking more specific question like "I'm new to video games, what are some games that you recommend that are not to hard to pick up" or something.

    Recommend: Portal

    I personally think you should give Portal a shot, it's a 3D puzzle game that you can run on any computer and is one of the best games of all time, it's also pretty funny on top of that.

  • Sleeping tricks

    I'm looking for sleeping tricks and thought some other people here might have similar issues or good tricks. Can be anything from getting the motivation to go to sleep to actually tricks to falling asleep.

    My current trickbook is basically this:

    Podcasts, but it has to be in some goldilocks zone of interesting to enough to keep attention but not too good so it gets exciting.

    I've also done meditation in bed when falling asleep that tends to work.

    Consistent routine is good. Shower, brush teeth, lights off, episode, sleep.

    I'm curious to see what other autistic people are working with here.

    Chrono Trigger (SNES 1995)

    I'm born in 1992 so this game is a bit before my time. I started playing it and got completely hooked. It's an absolutely fantastic game that would still hold up as a quality indie game today.

    Music is amazing. Characters and character development is amazing. Story is very good. Combat is genuinely fun instead of feeling like a chore that cuts you off from the game. Art style is amazing.

    I was surprised how much quality they could fit onto the SNES back it the day, it's a really good game and everyone with a potato can ploy it.

    Pro tip: Remasters have some UI unpleasantness so it's best to stick to SNES emu version. I tried the Android and they used some native android font that ruined the immersion a bit. There's also a tight running section that's particularly unsuited for the mobile version. SNES is best, as originally intended.

    Help wanted: Girlfriend said she was feeling Khorne-y

    So I of course screamed BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD and SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE like any reasonable human being. Then maimed some people with a knife, drank their blood etc.

    She won't talk to me now and I don't understand why. Do you guys think the knife was to small?

    Any help very much appreciated.

    Activities destroyed when swapping apps HyperOS

    Does anybody else experience that Android activities get destroyed and rebuilt all the time when switching between apps?

    Browser page gets reloaded and form values disappear.

    Authorising a payment in different app can make the payment fail.

    General bad experience when multitasking 3 apps and swapping between.

    (I'm on Redmi Note 12 with HyperOS)

    Who of you guys are on an "Unknown" OS?

    gs.statcounter.com Useragent Detect | StatCounter Global Stats

    Test the StatCounter Global Stats useragent detection

    Useragent Detect | StatCounter Global Stats

    I've been wondering how many Linux users are being listed as unknown by statcounter out of curiosity. There has been a big global bump "Unknown".

    Obvious ones are UserAgent spoofers Vpn users but I feel like that's pretty niche. I'm wondering if SteamOS, Endeavour and BSD show up as Unknown. Furthermore, will just all non-Ubuntu based OS?

    Distro for a local "cloud gaming" no monitor desktop

    I'm looking for a specific distro to handle some tasks.

    I got a second hand rig with Nvidia GTX 1050 that I want to use as a home server. I wanted to use HoloISO but it doesn't support nvidia. If someone says "do it anyway, it's fine" I'll install it though.

    The idea is to support a Jellyfin server and Steam Link gaming but steam is not big on Nvidia so it's hard to narrow down "black screen" issues etc. I'm also planning to manage it via VNC and SSH.

    I'm familiar with Ubuntu based systems since I develop software on Ubuntu based KDE distro but never had a graphics card.

    So it boils down to:

    • Ease of setup including nvidia drivers
    • Ease of update via command line (I'm not going to download nvidia drivers from their website to update proprietary drivers)
    • Graphics performance
    • Prefer Ubuntu based

    I'm up for Gnome, Xface, Cinnamon, KDE or whatever DE.

    Edit: Changed title to better reflect requirements and not have misleading "headless" and "server" in it
