Do animals feel love and emotion? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] illi@lemm.ee 8 points 9 hours ago

It's not only barring teeth, dogs also do a "submissive smile" in some cases, to show they are not a threat. Not seen much but when we got our second dog she was very insecure and "smiled" a lot. Definitely not for showing happines but I think I read our smiles have similar origins.

Very happy with Linux Mint

How do you play videos from PC/laptop on TV screen? What are the best ways, wireless if possible? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] illi@lemm.ee 9 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I use a Steam Link, but that's no longer available as hardware, only an app. I don't have any experience with it but I read somewhere you can set up RaspberyPi to work in the same way.

Though I have to say - while it works wirelessly, for games it is better to have wired connection.

Man, I was already feeling ancient. You using "1900s" didn't help much :D

Man rotary phones were the best! Such a joy to dial.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

They were quite big, but used super thin paper and small font. There were books thicker still, but still the phrase "thick as a phone book" was used.

There were also Yellow Pages (same format as phone books, but entirely yellow) which listed businesess and stuff.

Pre-internet these were the household essentials.

There was also a number you could call to ask for phone numbers or other stuff. Basically a call in google.

A sorcerer appears and states that they will erase any one song from existence - which song would you choose? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Haha, yeah, I saw that post before finding this question.

[–] illi@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago (3 children)

No idea how it's called but the one that goes like "maya hi,maya ho, maya ha, maya ha ha"

I hate that song with a burning passion of thousand suns.

If anybody does it would be the perfect answer on multiple levels.

What are your favorite shows and why? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] illi@lemm.ee 1 points 4 days ago

Too soon, man...

But seriously, it is tragically short, but worth it. And at least they managed to tie up things with the movie.

Seconding Stargate, ideal for what OP is looking for.

Also Firefly for something with similar energy.

An artist says Nerf’s Destiny 2 hand cannon is a ripoff of their work in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world
[–] illi@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe I just don't remember how exactly Ace looks in game anymore and the fanart has tome unique take the Nerf company took? I just see Ace of Spades more or less how I remember so that might be why I'm confused

The [no] future of BLUE PROTOCOL [shutdown] (www.playblueprotocol.com)
 

I didn't follow the game super closely but it looked nice. Shame we will never get to try it at least.

Anybody has experience with GW2 on Linux? (lemm.ee)
 

So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience?

I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might've been.

How to ease up the return to GW2 (lemm.ee)
 

I thought I'd try GW2 after years of not playing (last I played was PoE era, bounced off fully before Icebrood saga) and finally managed to get into it!

I used to live and breath this game and while I was not what you'd call "hardcore" player, I knew about everything going on. Now I'm totally in the black which is weird. I try not to get it to me, I just play through the Icebrood saga story now and try my best not to open inventory and achievement tabs etc to not get discouraged. GW2 was always a bit convoluted, but with so much added in the meantime, it's much.

How do you deal with this? What would be your recommendations for me to "ease into it"? What should I engage after getting my groove back in the story? How to dip my toes slowly into buildcrafting? What new systems should I check out?

Bonus question: would you expect the xpacs to go on sale anytime soon? Next one should be around the corner by now, no?

I know many people were waiying for this so thought I'd share.

I don't play Albion much, fresh start might be interesting but not keen on regrinding stuff... How about you?

Can someone ELI5 for me how Piped works? (lemm.ee)
 

So I mostly transitioned to Piped and ever since I was wondering how it works. I read up on it and while I get what it says, I still don't feel like I really understand...

Does watching on Piped count views and such? (lemm.ee)

So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy...

I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.

Anyone has the famous reddit story with the immortal snail? (lemm.ee)

There was this legendary comment on reddit to a thread asking people what would their plan be if they were immortal and got milion dollars, but there was a superintelligent immortal snail also with milion dollars who would want to kill them. I was trying to find it but as far as I can tell OP removed it. Does anyone here have it and could post it here by any chance?
