Given how reactionary the average Gen Z guys are, this is less of a protest and more of a self-preservation tactic.

Hi! You can call me Tadpole. I enjoy maps/geography, sci-fi and speculative fiction, classic and sports cars and motorsports, and retro and retrofuturistic technology from the 70s-90s. Also a racing, role-playing, indie and retro video game connossieur.
I am a certified lurker.

SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Gaming@beehaw.org•Let's discuss: Uplifting GamesEnglish7·8 months agoYeah. I pretty much have to play it with mods that double/triple the daytime length, or I just feel perpetual anxiety over not being able to get anything done in a day.
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Valve Engineer Mike Blumenkrantz Hoping To Accelerate Wayland Protocol DevelopmentEnglish5·9 months agoI don’t know how or why, but I get absolutely atrocious stuttering while playing games on X11 that simply doesn’t occur with Wayland, so X is just not an option for me.
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•What is the most duct-tape thing you've done to Linux?English8·10 months agoI’m not technically inclined at all, so the most duct tapey thing I can remember was hacking Gnome to use Nemo as my file browser instead of Gnome’s default file browser once.
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto AskBeehaw@beehaw.org•Anyone Else Noticing Increasingly Conservative Commentary from Outside Instances?English14·1 year agoI’m so glad I’m not the only one who noticed… it’s disheartening and frustrating.
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•/media or /mnt or anywhere ? Discussion.English14·1 year agoUse any you want. I’ve been mounting my internal secondary hard drive on /mnt for well over a year now and haven’t had any problems. Previously, I mounted it on
~/Storage
and it also worked fine (though only because I’m the only user in my computer; dual-user systems would result in the other user being unable to access the hard drive).
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Linux back at 4.04% on the Desktop. Windows went below 73%English21·1 year agoI get what you mean. I see a decent chunk of often more tech-proficient Linux users putting down Linux Mint, and it saddens me because even though I don’t use Mint anymore, it was still the first distro I properly daily-drove and I still consider it an amazing system for people who are new to Linux.
I’m very glad you’ve been having a good experience with Mint!
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Technology@beehaw.org•Elon Musk's SpaceX contracted to destroy retired space station - BBC NewsEnglish6·1 year agoIt makes me really sad that the space station is going to be destroyed since I always really liked it, but the sheer amount of fuel needed to move it to a stable position makes me (begrudgingly) understand why they’re going to do it…
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•Flathub has passed 2 billion downloadsEnglish8·1 year agoHonestly, you don’t have to worry about what others say, you should use what works best for you. Personally I find them to be nice and comfortable to use, myself 😅
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of June 2ndEnglish1·1 year agoPaper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door quite a lot. Also getting back into Minecraft and Euro Truck SImulator 2. And of course, Cassette Beasts.
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.ml•Delhi temperature hits 52.9C, shattering India’s national recordEnglish19·1 year agoAnd this will be the coldest summer for the rest of our lives. 😓
Yeah, I get you :c
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•What are your must-have programs?English17·1 year agoI use CoreCtrl to fix my GPU’s atrocious fan curve, which is a necessity since normally it overheats to high hell. With CoreCtrl, I have a nice fan curve that makes my GPU rarely, if ever, run hotter than 70°C.
Look how they massacred my boy…
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 12thEnglish2·1 year agoHonestly I’m very much a hermit plus I play the game very heavily modded, so I’m indifferent about the update if not worried it might break my mods lol
I think it’s absolutely amazing and I don’t regret spending money on it at all! Maybe it might be worth seeing if it’ll go on sale when the update releases just in case, but if not then I think it’s worth a full-price buy imo.
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Gaming@beehaw.org•Weekly “What are you playing” Thread || Week of May 12thEnglish2·1 year agoI’m getting back into Cassette Beasts and still am playing my comfort game, NFS Hot Pursuit 2
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Nintendo pursuing Yuzu Forks on GithubEnglish16·1 year agoI just hope the Citra forks won’t be targeted. Citra was only killed as collateral damage, but I still can’t help but be nervous anyway…
I have had a LOT of issues, but they’re mostly of the papercut variety - and most of them have to do with Plasma 6 rather than Fedora 40 itself (at least I think so).
I think my CPU is running hotter on 40 than it was on 39, though.
SimplyTadpole@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Gaming@beehaw.org•The largest campaign ever to stop publishers destroying games | Accursed FarmsEnglish2·1 year agoI’m a pretty big fan of an online-only game that was killed while I was still in diapers, and I can only play a limited debug build of it that was leaked by a disgruntled developer who was mad the game was shut down. I often wish I had been able to experience it the way it was originally intended to.
I don’t have The Crew, but what I’m seeing lines up very closely to my situation, so I relate to it. And this is a cause I most definitely support, so I really hope this works out. I hate when games end up as permanently lost media…
…Awful?
It’s so fitting and poetic that, just when I finally start getting my life in order, the world throws itself off a cliff.
