AstralPath@lemmy.cato Sim Rally & Racing@lemmy.world•BeamNG.Drive devs are taking tyre physics to the next level4·1 天前Super cool video. Thanks for posting.
AstralPath@lemmy.cato Buy Canadian@lemmy.ca•53% of Canadians now skip U.S. booze for Canadian or global picks1·2 天前I don’t know what alternate reality you live in but this is just false across the board.
Canadians absolutely do not hate “anything American”. Half the country wants to cosplay as Americans any chance they can. Our society is deeply ingrained with American hand me down values.
Sure, we’re still very different but in the grand scheme of things if you compare the cultures of the world Canada is is America Light®.
ordering American whiskey is a good way to start a bar fight
You watch too much TV.
AstralPath@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party appsEnglish16·3 天前Make your next phone a Pixel and load GrapheneOS onto it. Problem solved.
You’re not a centrist if you’re throwing around “shitlibs”.
AstralPath@lemmy.cato PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Forza Motorsport "is no more", claims former Turn 10 employee, following Microsoft cutsEnglish4·5 天前That’s literally the game the sim community has been begging for for ages now. What a shame.
AstralPath@lemmy.cato Buy Canadian@lemmy.ca•Huge spike in Europeans wanting to visit Ontario amid decline in U.S. tourism25·6 天前Ontario is a boring as fuck, car-centric, anti-human shit hole. I say this as an Ontarian.
If all you want to see is how badly our urban planners have forsaken us, come to Ontario.
Go somewhere genuinely interesting like Québec, Newfoundland or BC. Hell, go to Yukon if you’re feeling particularly adventurous.
Ontario has very little in terms of natural wonder. If you come here, you’re going to Toronto for big city stuff or you’re a sucker for punishment as you’ll spend 75% of your trip driving places. At least if you go to QC, BC, or NL there’s shit to look at while you spend your trip budget on fuel and car rental costs.
I still have my library of tracks from the mid 2000s on a drive in my PC. Hell, I still have my iPod Classic.
That said, I spend 99% of my time streaming music.
That said², I never ever engage with playlists. They only serve to poison the well that is my algorithm. I have a tightly curated Youtube video algorithm and, even though Youtube Music’s algorithm is dogshit compared to Spotify, I still protect it at all costs.
You can still be an active listener on streaming services.
I’m currently three quarters of the way through Decapitated’s Organic Hallucinosis record while I clean the house. For the last month straight I’ve been mainlining Steven Wilson’s solo records as well as Porcupine Tree records. Music is not dead for the active listeners in the world. The focus should be on encouraging kids to appreciate a good album every once in a while.
AstralPath@lemmy.cato No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4?102·7 天前Personally, I’m not feeling that same vibe. I think the solidarity against the US is a very good thing, but the sheer amount of ways Canada is just “America Light” is very depressing. Its to the point that our flag has been so sullied by absolutely shit tier movements in the last 5 years that I can’t stand to see it anymore.
Every time I see a private flag pole, bumper stickers or anything kind of patriotic merch my knee jerk reaction is “I bet this dude’s a fuckwad.” I know that I’m painting with a huge and shitty brush but I just can’t even fight against it anymore. I know it’s wrong. I just don’t care, and that makes me sad.
I live comfortably here, but given even a minutely convenient reason to emigrate I think I’d take it.
Canada is a car infested, anti-human shit hole just like America. To paraphrase Steve Harris of Iron Maiden a bit “We oil the jaws of the
warcapitalist machine and feed it with ourbabiesimmigrants.”
AstralPath@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•Windows seemingly lost 400 million users in the past three years — official Microsoft statements show hints of a shrinking user baseEnglish2·8 天前Wine is a translation layer, not an emulator so you’ll likely appear in the Linux users list.
Anything that Steven Wilson has made. Dude’s a living legend.
I only do baisc maintenance and setups for my friends now.
I’ve heard of beta blockers, but I’ve never looked into it. I’m kind of hesitant when it comes to dealing with any kind of side effects.
I worked at probably the best luthiery in North America. Got let go because I couldn’t keep up. I have tremors which makes fine dextrous work very difficult. At the time I was also going through a brutal break-up too.
Really bad time for me. Also working at this place was like playing a couple good games of beer league hockey and immediately getting drafted into an NHL team. I feel like if I took another shot at it, it would go much better second time around. But it just wasn’t meant to be at the time. No matter what, it was always going to be a massive uphill climb, but I was super dedicated to doing it and doing it well. It’s unfortunate it came to such an abrupt end, but I understand why it had to happen.
AstralPath@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.world•AI willing to let humans die, blackmail to avoid shutdown, report findsEnglish161·13 天前There’s plenty of fiction written on this premise. It only makes sense that an LLM will write something similar to what it’s already ingested.
AstralPath@lemmy.cato PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Bazzite would shut down if Fedora goes ahead with removing 32-bitEnglish1·14 天前Nobara’s not going anywhere regardless of how this goes down. At least on Nobara you won’t have to worry about your distro going tits up any time soon.
I totally understand where you’re coming from but I also understand why people like the curated experience. When I went to Mexico for the first time, I went to a resort because in that moment all I cared about was not having to care about anything, if you know what I mean.
There’s a time and a place for both styles of travel.

I’m genuinely curious here so I have a question for you. Why is making people mad so appealing in this situation? I can’t really see a true benefit beyond personal spite. Is that all it boils down to?
