These days I think of myself as extrovert but most people think the opposite. Sometimes I wonder if anybody even is absolutely one or the other at all times and circumstances.

Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Television@lemm.ee•I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people?English6·2 days agoHere it is:

That was a joke due to the English name, but Brazil is actually pretty good at making shows and movies about normal, ordinary people.
Ah, shit, I forgot she actually specified “take that flight” in it.
(my comment was supposed to be only a joke, but yeah it doesn’t work as I had intended)
The examples in the song are ironic, she just does not include enough details to clarify it. For example, an old man was afraid to fly so he took the train instead. And an unrelated plane crashed into it, killing him. He died on a plane crash due to avoiding planes. Ironic as fuck.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Buy European@feddit.uk•EUPL: a European open source software license273·3 days agoAt this point I’m starting to worry that all this push to distance Europe from America will eventually strengthen some “European Nationalism” or something along that line and we’ll be right back to the same problems in a few decades, just switching sides once more.
It’s an exaggeration. Browsers use a lot more RAM than one would expect, but there’s not that much of a difference between each one.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto privacy•Your phone isn’t secretly listening to you, but the truth is more disturbing25·8 days agoIt doesn’t need to listen to you when it already controls what you talk about.
Friends of Mineral Town is a good remake of one of the most beloved entries in the series.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders)6·8 days agoOnly case where I consider pre-ordering is if there’s a decent discount for doing it and I know that I’ll definitely want the game at launch (for example if most of my group of friends will be playing it at the same time).
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto GOG@lemmy.world•A quarter of a century after its original release, Capcom’s legendary Breath of Fire IV returns to PC!English2·8 days agoThis was the first game with which I experienced the joy of not having a pc strong enough to run it. I don’t remember anything about the game, just the stuttering… And I think there was a desert or something.
Have you played any of the harvest moon / story of seasons games? It’s the series that inspired Stardew Valley. Most of them are, in general, much more chill than even Stardew itself. There are a bunch of them on steam (on there, look only for the story of seasons games and ignore the ones named Harvest Moon)
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Technology@lemmy.world•Mark Zuckerberg Says Social Media Is OverEnglish3·8 days agoI said it as a joke but I suspect it might be true, too. I see a lot of people complaining that they see too many posts of people they block.
Phen@lemmy.eco.brto Unpopular Opinion@lemmy.world•I can't stand it when I ask someone a question and they start googling for an answerEnglish8·9 days agoI’m just too curious. Sometimes I even Google answers for questions on TV shows that I know will be answered 5 seconds later.

I’m surprised nobody has done yet as I’ve seen all sorts of features be added to earphone cases. Maybe a decent touchscreen is not yet cheap enough to throw at some case without the profit margin of the apple brand.
Not getting mad when someone feels threatened by you is a pretty good start.
I’ve recently been working with some niche tool that has very little documentation on the web but is open source and has a ton of discussions on public email groups. Chatgpt is sometimes able to figure out what param I need to send for specific stuff in that tool even if there are zero Google matches for the param name, but more often than not it just hallucinates stuff or mention things that no longer exists. I’ve created the habit of always asking things like “is that right?” or “is that answer up to date?” before even reading the first response from it and it often replies with things like: “no, that param only exists in some other similar tool” or “no that API has been deprecated” and shit like that.
If it were up to me I wouldn’t even be using chatgpt at all due to all the time it wasted with random stuff it makes up, but whatever training data openAI used, it surely had more information about the niche stuff I’m working with than the web does at this point - so sometimes it can still save me time too.
Yeah. Personally I don’t see life as being “sacred” or anything and I think people should ultimately be free to choose to end their own if they really want to (provided they also get good support for trying to deal with whatever leads to that choice) - but it kinda scares me that this “sanctity” that is attributed to life is the only thing stopping people from being casually OK with murder.
TIL the Kama Sutra is just an average Netflix show released 140 years too early.
Some times you may need to install a few extra stuff to get a game to run properly, other times you may see a few visual glitches like a pop-up menu not rendering properly, but you’re unlikely to find any game that just can’t run on Linux unless the devs intentionally don’t want people to play it on Linux.
Check protondb for general compatibility of any games you play.
