Basically.

And for some, it goes without saying that Harry Potter represents a major part of one’s childhood, JK’s opinions be damned. Hell, there’s a project on the Internet Archive dedicated to archiving the old Harry Potter games, providing whatever’s needed to get them working on modern PCs.

That purity test they made is going to get a lot of positives btw, heard from a friend that yesterday, Hogwarts Legacy was the second most streamed game/category on Twitch, only being beaten by the Just Chatting category.

I’ve got friends who are pulling themselves away from Twitter due to furry fandom drama, and I can’t blame ‘em.

Remember when people on the internet got pissed that the Emoji Movie managed to get like half of its budget back lol

Bad take considering how hated the Minions are in online culture. Hell, I can’t listen to Uptown Funk because of those god damn Minions ads for Sky broadband.

It’s like oversaturation can really hinder the enjoyment of… just about anything.

too bad this car’s not for sale because I would’ve bought instantly with the seductive eyes 😳

can’t wait for a random person on the fediverse to find one of my Energizer posts and become really confused

I hope PlayStation VR 2 takes off. Oculus is a Facebook product and they’re trying to whip their dick around with the whole Meta account thing, and Valve Index requires a lot more than just a £700 headset. The PSVR2 balances convenience and power.

If that doesn’t, I hope Valve pulls a trick up their sleeve.

This version of “Larger Than Life” has almost replaced the original in my mind LMAO https://youtu.be/Xkom4Na9zQA

man I wish it did

Energizer US knowing exactly who their audience are.

jesus fucking christ. was this before, during or after the initial COVID lockdowns? I remember that was a notable factor with cancer deaths in recent years.

meanwhile over here in the UK, you have to wait months or even years to get any actual treatment

had to mute my notifications here because it was legit crashing my KDE install LMAO

This is copyright-blocked on my end but I agree lmao. It’s the same on the BMTH channe’s upload

if ya gotta listen to the ginger brit man, listen to the collab he did with Bring Me the Horizon.

Got a friend whose laptop has a Realtek chip for wireless. Needs a proprietary driver on Linux that he can’t install, not even on Ubuntu’s Additional Drivers utility. I know that pain.

I’m entirely convinced that Broadcom is just a shit brand in general to get with. I have to use a PCI wireless adapter from them in order to get Airport working on my Hackintosh and it drops off no matter if I use the 5GHz or 2.4GHz signals.

On Linux, the drop offs are even worse.

If you use Linux, just get a wireless adapter with an Intel chip, even if you’re more loyal to AMD. Just save yourself the headache, please.

Is it one with built-in wifi? I’ve not messed with those, prefer having a wireless adapter I can take out and replace, PCI or USB.

MediaTek admittedly goes under my radar, but I know Intel and sometimes Atheros (Qualcomm) work great for Linux.

Yeah. I asked on Reddit a while back because I was out of options. The Intel 9260 seemed to be a solid choice at the time. I’m still using it, I don’t have anything that could use newer Wifi tech so I haven’t bothered to upgrade it. Might look at replacement antennae though, even this one drops because I committed the grave sin of moving my desk (and thus my computer) to get more room.
