    I just started Astro Bot a couple days ago. I'm completely hooked, it's so much fun. Looking forward to the new Zelda as well.

    And started a co-op run of Baldur's Gate 3 with a friend who hasn't finished it yet. I can't get enough of that game. Got into the modding scene recently too.

    And yet you don't show any examples for your bizarre claim. I swear y'all have more issues with the left than with fascists.

    The reason many leftists don't mention Trump is because there's already consensus that he's an awful person and a wannabe fascist dictator.

    You could always try having some fun with wigs. Lots of options there, from realistic to completely outlandish. You could even try cutting & styling one if you wanted it to look similar.

    🤔 Definitely sus. Maybe the thought process was that it would seem weak or disgraceful to step down after the debate, so they wanted a more natural way of having him exit.

  • Raspberry Pi Smart TV?
  • sapphiria sapphiria Now 100%

    I recently set up LineageOS on my rpi4 for this. With that setup, I think you'd be able to use the Android version of Moonlight. I haven't used Moonlight before though, so not sure how good of an experience that is on Android. Since the official images didn't support Android TV, I ended up using this version. Performance is a little slow in the menus (and very slow in the Twitch app, but that's also true on the fire stick). I'll probably give rpi5 a shot at some point in the near future to see if that offers better performance.

    Bluetooth game controller works quite well (a little too well, the box notifies me when controllers are trying to sync), and works with apps like RetroArch and Jellyfin. I think it's supposed to support AirPlay or whatever the Android equivalent is too, but I haven't tried that. I also had to install gapps to sign into YouTube, but most other streaming apps I tried worked without it. Some of them require specific Android TV devices though, so a 3rd party app store or side loading may be needed for some of them.

    I originally wanted to use Plasma Bigscreen with Waydroid, but I ran into the same problem of not being able to find an Android TV image. I did try building it myself, but that was taking too long so I eventually gave up.

  • ‘They Are Just Pissed Off’: Scott Galloway Warns Young People Are ‘Opting Out of America’ As Older Generations Failed Them
  • sapphiria sapphiria Now 99%

    Older generations didn't fail us, the bourgeoisie did. Don't let capitalists get away with reframing class struggle as generational struggle when that's not what it is. Poor folks of past generations weren't the problem. It was the ones wealthy enough to have political influence and control that were the problem. And that will continue being true for future generations so long as capitalism exists.

  • Is this thought about school too radical?
  • sapphiria sapphiria Now 100%

    I was definitely like Kid B. My precalculus teacher once asked me, in front of the whole class, how many assignments I'd have done out of 10. To which I answered honestly with 2, making everyone laugh.

    My trigonometry teacher was convinced I was cheating on tests since I barely did any homework, and had me take a test alone in front of her to prove I wasn't. I did well enough that she believed me and stopped questioning it, fortunately.

    Also had a teacher scold me one on one in elementary school over not doing homework, making me cry. I'm sure she thought she was helping, but all that accomplished was making me feel bad.

    Didn't figure out I had ADHD until my 30s. Hopefully things will keep getting better for kids as knowledge and awareness expand.

  • I'm looking for an app that allows me to set long term goals with the individual steps that are needed for each of those goals. Similar to a bunch of todo lists, but that allows me to easily see my progress on the home screen via a graph/progress widget of some kind. Some example goals are buying a house or publishing a new website. That sort of long term project where there are no strict deadlines, but there are clearly defined tasks. I've spent over an hour looking so far but have come up dry. I'm having a hard time finding relevant apps when searching, as I keep getting results for habit trackers - which isn't at all what I'm looking for. The tasks I want to track are not time sensitive, so they don't have any date associated with them. They are also not repeatable. The widget part is particularly important to me, because if the list of things to do is tucked away behind an app, or even not on the first page of my home screen, then I'll just forget about it. (Pretty sure I have ADHD.) I'm also not too keen on having to setup an account or give any personal info away - but if I find an app that for sure can provide what I need then I'll probably cave on that. I just don't want to end up with a bunch of accounts for apps I won't even use. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Or maybe some search terms that might show something closer to what I'm looking for? Any help is greatly appreciated, and if you've read this far I hope you're having a wonderful day! 🙃

    Thought I'd share it here in case anyone was looking for something similar. It's based on the Windows instructions found [here](https://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Command_line_arguments/multiple_account_swapping), but also adds GUI via `kdialog`. This will create a folder next to the script named `.gw2-account-manage` and copy the `Local.dat` files between this folder and the game's appdata folder. To set it up, you just need to save this script to a file somewhere (I have it in `/home/deck/gw2-account-manage`), make it executable via `chmod +x gw2-account-manage`, and update the launch options in Steam. Launch options should look something like this: `/home/deck/gw2-account-manage "gamemoderun %command%"` You should be able to name each entry whatever you want - I just used account name since that's easier for me. Though I haven't tested it very thoroughly with special characters. ``` shell #!/bin/bash datfile="/home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1284210/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Roaming/Guild Wars 2/Local.dat" parentdir=$(readlink -f $(dirname "$0")) gw2amdir="$parentdir/.gw2-account-manage" if [ ! -f "$datfile" ]; then kdialog --error "Local.dat not found.\n\nExpected at:\n$datfile" exit fi mkdir -p "$gw2amdir" choose() { options="" files=$(find "$gw2amdir" -type f -print0 | xargs -0 ls -tU) while read file; do options="$options \"$file\" \"$(basename $file)\"" done < <(echo "$files") options="$options \"+\" \"Add a new account...\"" choice=$(echo "$options" | xargs kdialog --menu \ "Select an account:") if [ "+" = "$choice" ]; then newname=$(kdialog --inputbox "Account Name") if [ "$newname" ]; then cp "$datfile" "$gw2amdir/$newname" fi choose "$@" elif [ -f "$choice" ]; then cp -r "$choice" "$datfile" eval "$@" cp -r "$datfile" "$choice" fi } choose "$@" ```
