    How is the name pronounced? All-ovah like all over? Uh lova, like Chicago for a lover? Sounds like the name of a prescription drug.

    Just wanted to say thanks for telling me this! Solved my issue and I wouldn't have thought of it straight away at all.

  • Meta will kill small instances! Please read.
  • IowaMan IowaMan 1y ago 100%

    The exposure is still greater than the zero that currently exists. If only 1% see the stuff from the smaller instances and figure out what's up, they'll jump. That's better than the current near 0. There's not really a scenario where it reduces the activity here any further, only improves it.

  • Meta will kill small instances! Please read.
  • IowaMan IowaMan 1y ago 40%

    EXACTLY! It only benefits us because it hugely increases the exposure of the fediverse to the outside world so people who ARE interested can merely jump over. It makes the fediverse more interesting for people like me who can "live" here and access the content I want.

  • Tame your inner dictator!

    Glad you said this. People demanding large instances like this one defederate from stuff they don't personally like are, frankly, very mislead and trying to be little dictators. That's not their decision to make.

    Needlessly aggressive internet arguments and flame wars for no reason

    Threads does not really want or care about our tiny userbase. They want the normies and they want to OWN most of the marketshare of this protocol

    It's real hard to break a habit that's been ongoing for almost 12 years for me. I'm trying to do my part by contributing, upvoting, etc

    Sounds crazy but I absolutely love it. There's a market for this somewhere!

  • For those unmedicated, how do you manage?
  • IowaMan IowaMan 1y ago 100%

    Very rigid routines and coping mechanisms. For your tab problem, I use OneTab to collapse and save them all into a searchable list for later.

    So the key for me has been "offloading" and "outsourcing" is what I call them. Memory tasks I offload to my phone like reminders, obsessive calendaring, note taking, and to do lists. I automate as much as possible when it comes to systems designed to make me get on task. Basically, if executive function is a limited resource (it is if you have ADHD) the less decision making you have to do, the better. Pre-make decisions and go from a script or playbook. That's my calendar and notes.

    Chiming in to swap for 5600, drop the 2 case fans, and switch 3060 to 6700 XT or 6650 XT. There's games right now that REQUIRE 6 cores

    They simply should not be allowed to advertise with the fake frames IMO.

    Why are Golden Parachutes a thing?
  • IowaMan IowaMan 1y ago 0%

    Another similar question: why has executive pay skyrocketed when it's exactly opposing to (most) companies best interests? Also, you could merely hire a qualified candidate from within the company who is already familiar with how things work and pay them still six figures, but not millions or billions. It seems kind of insane that one person is "worth" that much to a board.

  • One quirky detail of my build: it has a tiered storage system through FuzeDrive. What that means is I have an 8 TB shucked hard drive and a 128 GB SSD "fuzed" together through some old software by Enmotus that is no longer available for purchase iirc. This means the SSD acts as a cache for my huge 8 TB drive. As a result, I can just install basically any game I want to my massive 8 TB drive without worrying about space, and if I play that game more than once or twice, it'll automatically move to the SSD portion for faster access. Some ideas: - Is this using used hardware that has a story? - Got an unusual configuration that isn't normally seen (Dual RTX 3070 for example) - Did you paint it or add special lighting?

    DDoS attack on Blizzard leads to more calls for a Diablo 4 offline mode

    Brilliant insight. They probably are tracking metrics on what will encourage people to buy stuff the most too
