Exec@pawb.socialto Technology@lemmy.world•Switching Sides: What Happens When a Longtime A*****d User Goes i****e?English1·1 month agoIdk, their post history looks super weird
Exec@pawb.socialto Funny@sh.itjust.works•Life after 30 is like playing an MMO after 1000 hours218·1 month agoThis is all wrong.
- 1000 hours: If you have a day job and only play a medium amount, I’d say 3 hours with 3 days a week it’d take 2 years to reach 1000 hours. That’s about the time an expansion pack comes out and there’s new stuff to do.
- You have to grind: Okay, that’s no question. (Being born into a rich family is cheating)
- Your skills improve slowly: It wouldn’t be fun otherwise
- You realise you messed up picking your class and perks: In better RPGs you can change that
- You couldn’t choose your backstory at all: Not the same, you can do that IRL, in RPGs there’s a story for a reason
- The gameplay is starting to get boring: You’re playing the wrong MMOs
- You can’t do anything without elixirs anymore: Is this meant to be coffee? Many people can go with their lives without caffeine. If it’s about alcohol or drugs, there’s something seriously wrong
- People are already leaving this server: The closest analogy would be moving from one country to another. Not impossible but isn’t meant to be easy either, just like in games
- The end-game content feels unattainable: What’d be the closest analogy IRL? For example, hobbies aren’t unattainable, what else should be end-game?
- You’ve accumulated a lot of “inventory” that you rarely use: Skill issue
- In-game currency is harder to come by than it should be: True a certain extent - like in all places the economy varies from server to server
- 1000 hours: If you have a day job and only play a medium amount, I’d say 3 hours with 3 days a week it’d take 2 years to reach 1000 hours. That’s about the time an expansion pack comes out and there’s new stuff to do.

Exec@pawb.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Installing Linux Doesn't Need to Change. The Experience Does.1·1 month agoNot really an “Average Windows/MacOS user will run into” issue but most power users would run into it
Exec@pawb.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Installing Linux Doesn't Need to Change. The Experience Does.4·1 month agoAlso, there is some talking on github on how they will probably completely drop LVM in the near futur… That’s not what someone should expect from a Linux installer!
It’s a shitshow. Looking at their repo’s issues list has lots of noise, but the worst of them is that the LVM issue has been open for over a year now. Sure, open source, anyone’s free to work on it by why would distros use such a feature incomplete installer?
Exec@pawb.socialto Linux@lemmy.ml•Installing Linux Doesn't Need to Change. The Experience Does.81·1 month agoEven then those who have to installers don’t really have a good experience with distros of wide market share (narrowing to Linux distros only), especially with whatever fresh hell Calamares is. (It doesn’t even support LVM or just installation with specified mounts points if you already set up your partition layout!)
Seriously, I’ve had better experience with the installer Ubuntu Server uses.
