Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What is one or more pieces of media you've consumed that kept making more content but needed to just end?English
2·6 days agoI beg to differ, I may concede on its multiplayer (because I played it for a few hours when it released, then got bored) but the campaign is a nothingburger filled with clichés.
The best thing people say about it is that “it went back to its roots”: except for a few references here and there and the Mark VI armor, nahhhhhhhh.

2·4 months agoSpaces behave like this because markdown was designed to be like HTML but quicker to write and easier to read without formatting;
most web services that use markdown translate it to HTML rather than parsing it directly, and in HTML whitespaces are supposed to work like you demonstrated in your comment.The reason for this behavior in HTML is “because someone in the 90s said so”, I’m afraid.

2·5 months agoDiscord does markdown differently than intended: it’s better for non-techies because hitting enter once is more intuitive than the alternative, but the standard way to insert line breaks in markdown is to type two spaces at the end of the line you want to break.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Baffled at PC freezing on Linux, but not on Windows for the same workloadEnglish
1·5 months agoWindows 10 and 11 really dislike HDDs, that’s probably why you can’t admit to using HDDs online without getting stones thrown at you (I’ve been there before).
I’ve disabled paging files (= swap) for one of my Windows VMs, unfortunately - to my surprise - that only had a small performance boost, and I still need to let the VM chug for a few mintes before it even lets me open File Explorer.
… but it does improve performance, definitely consider doing it if you don’t need swap/paging/whatever they call it now.

3·5 months agoIt’s not about the amount of swap space, it’s a problem that happens when swapping happens for big chunks of data at a time.
Windows aggressively swaps out things way before it’s necessary, you can try increasing the system’s “swappiness”;
I’m writing this from my phone, but when I get to my PC I’ll write out how to do it (unless somebody else does it before I do).You can set it by writing
vm.swappiness=60in a file like/etc/sysctl.d/50-swappiness.conf.
The value 60 is arbitrary, if you increase it the system will try to swap out things more aggressively; the name of the file is also partially arbitrary, but AFAIK, it has to begin with two digits — the system will read all the files inside/etc/sysctl.din order, and the settings in higher-numbered files will be applied over lower ones.Officially, this is the explaination of the vm.swappiness parameter.
You can read and write the value with your shell:#!/usr/bin/bash sysctl vm.swappiness # shows you the current value sudo sysctl vm.swappiness=69 # sets the swappiness to 69 AND shows you the new value

6·6 months agoIt’s technically not, but it’s what redlib can do.
Personally, I simply decided to contribute as little as possible to Reddit, and I only go there for a single niche subreddit that I don’t see making it into the fediverse anytime soon (they already tried on Lemmy); I pray that scraped old.reddit.com requests have a negligible impact on engagement metrics.

164·7 months agoThe term “Artificial Intelligence” has been around for a long time, 25 years ago AI was an acceptable name for NPC logic in videogames. Arguably that’s still the case, and personally I vastly prefer “Artificial Intelligence” to “Broad Simulation Of Common Sense Powered By Von Neumann Machines”.

403·7 months agoIn defense of people who say LLMs are not intelligent: they probably mean to say they are not sapient, and I think they’re loosely correct if you consider the literal word “intelligent” to have a different meaning from the denotative “Intelligence” in the context of Artificial Intelligence.

7·10 months agoHey, the first two don’t sound quite right

Not sure how it works on other file managers (or any DE), but for Dolphin you can create a
.directoryfile with its content like:[Desktop Entry] Icon=/absolute/path/to/image.pngI think it’s more or less universal.
Specifically for Dolphin, there may be a way to achieve the same with extended file attributes (getfattr/setfattr) instead of directories, but I don’t know the attr name for icons if it even exists.
