its not just graphic design either. The heavy push for monetization on sites like youtube and twitch is also impacting new creators as well. Like for example twitch forces a pre-roll (an ad that plays before you can even see the content) for anyone who doesn’t run at least 3 minutes of ads an hour manually. I sometimes click on a creator out of curiosity but, all interest is lost as soon as I see the 40-60 second pre-roll ads. This impacts newer creators a lot more than big creators, but it seems they are the ones hit the hardest with said ads.

ah shoot yea thats true, I forgot about the BS that is “salary exempt”

Maybe this will be a boon. The entire reason the ram requirements got so high as it is is because software optimization was put on the back burner. Maybe a ram shortage where people can’t obtain the ram needed will force the big name software devs to start being more frugal with ram. (talking to you chrome… whom currently is using 2 gigs alone just trying to show a twitch stream…)

concidering they were shipping windows 11 systems on 4 gigs of ram and selling it, I expect it won’t change much. They worked like shit but they still sold. You make it cheap enough people will buy it regardless of flaws or speed.

Because it is. I understand the want for privacy and such, but it still sucks to have a prolonged topic, just to have the OP nuke the parent post which deletes the entire comment tree. I have communities that I have blocked or unfollowed because a good chunk of their posts just get deleted a few days after posting. It makes it hard to want to contribute to the communities due to it.

yea thats fully understandable. also no idea why this post just showed in my feed, didn’t mean to revive a 4 month old comment 😅

my first go to for fixing every issue I have with a windows component

1. sfc /scannow
2. dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

the amount of time that last command has fixed a core issue with the system is shocking but god that command takes forever

I’m more surprised that your school doesn’t go by the “Wipe and reimage” policy. Most every school now uses some form of cloud service. No reason to spend time troubleshooting when you can just do a stock image and have the student sign in again

In the admins defense. “Closed by peer” can indicate everything from a safe closure to an unsafe closure to a server connection terminating which causes the peer to terminate.

Like that’s a fair point of confusion.

What bugs me is when the error says something stupid specific and obvious such as JavaScript heap out of memory or dd: error writing *pathname*: No space left on device

that’s why any manual worth their salt has a “quick start” section at the beginning (I say this knowing most man pages fail at this or put it at the end which is super unhelpful)

Just give me common uses and flags, you can have your more indepth stuff at the end

I hard passed on vintage story. I was looking into the game, took one look at the community and the toxicity on their support forums and went “yep thats a hard pass”.

IMO the company should really do some cleansing on their starting topics. It doesn’t look good for a game when there’s active toxicity in the community forums arguing over if the game needs to be changed and telling people to get gud and that they didn’t have such things when starting out when they make super basic suggestions like starter equipment, or an actual tutorial.

They may have fixed that since then since its been a year or two, but that was a hard turnoff for me. A lesser known game needs community support to function and survive. Even minecraft mods have a vast amount of wikis and community support. An actively hostile community on the official community forums is not a good starting POV.

I joined when reddit killed third party apps, and then compared the existing volunteer mod teams that was following what their revolting user-base wanted, to a landed gentry while also threatening to reopen closed reddit’s that had voted via their user-base to close in regards to this protest.

I came across the link in a protest forum, saw the general flow of tech based things and decided to give it a try.

oh for sure, it made sense that they wanted to make sure was fixed. Just was super alarming the speed it was advertised that the relay was there!

reminds me of my first mail server, accidentally set up an open relay and got a lot of abuse reports from mail providers saying they blocked my server due to it. Took forever to get fixed again.

It’s something on your end, I just VPN’d through both Fortaleza and Sao Paulo and both can load Weebly just fine

Honestly, the only one I’m really looking at is Ranch Sim because it’s down to like 2.50, none of the other ones really look all that attractive, to be honest.

Kicking myself for buying Icarus when it was $20 because it’s now 3.50

I wonder why companies do this? does it actually make it get done faster? Last I knew most workers were only efficient at their job for like the first 5 or 6 hours if that, spending an extra 8 ontop of it sounds like a waste of salary.

in the scamming world, its never the same person, like whoever implemented that policy was smoking something good.

In the fraudster world you either sell the codes that you ripped off a card, or you have another person buy the card to give it to you. It’s never the same person, the fact they are banning based off suspicious activity screams big head who doesn’t understand the impact or reason for their changes outside “defrauded cards bad”

So did I up until windows 10, which makes sense because my laptop that had run windows 8.1 had been upgraded from Windows 7 and had the issue every time it seems to have a version release. My windows 10 system was a factory install since I switched to a PC instead of a laptop at that time, and as such ran UEFI out of the box, I haven’t had any issue with windows nuking a boot partition since.

I’m assuming it’s because bios boot still uses an MBR which means the actual boot record is at the beginning of the disk, which windows also tries to use for recovery and its boot. With GPT setups like how UEFI requires, there’s a dedicated partition that is used instead for storing EFI files, so it allows for a much clearer co-existence.

Basically if you are running a UEFI system, there’s no excuse for Windows to actually nuke grub anymore, because the entire reason it was nuking it in the first place was it was overwriting the MBR at the beginning of the disk so the system no longer knew where grub was. With UEFI the system boot would be the UEFI loader -> windows loader or grub (or like how my system is brokenly setup UEFI -> grub -> windows because I like the traditional style of selecting windows from grub)

that’s the fun part! you don’t 🦊
