Ill never understand the trailer for a trailer thing. Like I can just wait for a full trailer. I don't need a preview for a preview of a film.

Amazon accused of using algorithms to push warehouse workers to breaking point in c/[email protected]

Here is my question, why would they want to do that? Like I get that they want to maximize productivity, but if you keep pushing them, then eventually people quit. Don't they still need workers?

I loved my Google Home when I got it in 2017, but when I got into home automation, I realized it is dumb to have to tell a device to do things. Motion sensors basically replace the main thing Google Home does and a Bluetooth speaker is cheap to buy.

I never trusted that they weren't listening to me all the time with the speakers and I never looked back after I donated them away.

Adam Scott recalls his 'Parks and Rec' character starting as a 'total dick' in c/[email protected]
[–] qwestjest78 9 points 2 days ago

I thought that was a major plot point. He is a jerk because he failed so early in his life, but then Leslie shows him how to let go of the past and live in the present which allows him to open his heart to her.

I thought it was a great story arc for his character.

Would you have a drink at lunch and then go back to work? in c/[email protected]
[–] qwestjest78 1 points 3 days ago

Lol, no. I don't drink at all anymore considering how bad it is for your health, but having a drink before returning to work seems like an insanely bad idea.

Great, just need to wait 2 more years until it's a reasonable price

They say this every year around this time. They act like consumers are changing when it is really that no one is interested in going to the movies in the first quarter of the year. A large percentage of people are not going to venture through snow to see a movie.

When the snow melts, people will go to the movies again. Film executives are idiots

Chris Pratt and Millie Brown are easily the most annoying actors around right now. Pass

They lost me that season he was in prison, but they tried to trick you that he wasn't. They try too hard to mindfuck and be deep in that show

Days Gone Remastered follows Sony's trend of strange upgrade policies in c/[email protected]
[–] qwestjest78 6 points 4 days ago

Good enough of a game to remaster, but not good enough to get a sequel. Makes sense right?

Co-op horror hit REPO has swiftly climbed up the Steam charts since launch, and just overtook GTA 5, Stardew Valley, and Apex Legends. in c/pcgaming

Lol, dont play it then. We are all having fun

Is there an app that can change what the default browser app is based on which app is open? (self.android)
 

I have migrated my browser over to IronFox, but I have noticed that my banking apps dont like it for signing in. I'm wondering if there is an app that can change the default browser when certain apps are open, and then revert back when they are closed.

Best Way to Clone Micro SD Card on Linux? (self.steamdeck)

I'm going to upgrade the micro SD card I use for emulation to one with more storage. What is the best way to close the micro SD card I have in my steam deck now to a new one so I can just plug in and go with all my games and save files?

Issues with Immich (self.selfhosted)
 

I set up Immich on a spare mini PC running Linux Mint with a spare external HDD to store the library. Used Docker compose as recommended on the website. Everything was working great last night. Then this morning I decided to move the mini PC to a more permanent location. I powered down and moved it. When everything restarted though I discovered that I was unable to c9nnect to the immich server. I went onto the mini PC and the local host and all it says is, "connection was reset." I have tried restarting docker from terminal several times and it says the immich services are running. I still cannot connect to the server though. What can I do to fix this?

Winter Walking Boots (self.buyitforlife)
 

My big winter boots I have used for the last few years got a split in them today. I use them a lot as I walk about 1km a day to and from work. I have to walk up hills and on ice at times. Which boots should I buy that will be good quality, keep my feet warm and dry, and last repeated daily use?

Advice on parts for a Linux Bazzite build (self.buildapc)
submitted 4 months ago by qwestjest78 to c/buildapc

I am coming from being a console player all my life. I love the conviency of a console, but I'm tired of all the B.S. Subscriptions, lack of exclusives, no backwards compatibly. I got a steam deck last year and I love it. I would like something more powerful though that I can plug into my TV though and game in at least 1080p with high settings. Ideally 4k with decent settings.

I am transitioning my computing to Linux and I like the look of Bazzite which is very similar to the steam desk. I would like to do a build that can replace my console. I'm thinking I should go Ryzen AMD. I'm more just wondering what components will work with a Linux build and if there are some things I should avoid. If someone has recommendations for a $1500 CAD build I would also be very interested in that.

How can I get updates about when my favourite artists/bands release new music without needing Spotify? (self.asklemmy)

I've been cutting out subscriptions and Spotify is the last one I would like to get rid of. I've transitioned to buying and downloading my favourite artists songs so I can own the music I love. The only thing keeping me with Spotify at the moment is the Release Radar playlist it creates for you. Basically I want to know if there is a way to get notified when the artists I follow release new music. I've been looking and so far I haven't found a viable alternative.
