Why do people still recommend Thinkpads for Linux when there are Linux-oriented manufacturers now?
I have no dog in this fight, but of the brands mentioned, I’ve heard of 1, and I consider myself fairly techy. Lenovo is a brand name that most people are going to recognize and implicitly trust (whether they should or not)

YouTube will soon require watch history to be enabled to show video suggestions
On the flip side here, almost everything I watch is from recommendations and this is going to be a change that drastically changes how I use the platform. I’m probably just going to have to turn watch history on, which is what they want, but it’s also apparently now the only way to get a decently curated YT feed.
No, the subscription box doesn’t do that. I don’t want to only see things I subscribe to. I specifically want to be recommended things to watch on my homepage.

Seriously. I have all the big hitters already, but this is a crazy deal for some really good titles.

I know in my case I’ll go 4-5 days without eating something if I can’t find anything that won’t be awful.

Once they had to change the algo because it was shoving people down the right wing pipeline at an alarming rate it got a lot worse. They basically had to nerf it and start over and it’s never recovered to the point it used to be at. The recommendations used to be significantly better, but that also coincided with alt right content doing extremely well.

“view context” broken b̶e̶c̶a̶u̶s̶e̶ (and) lemmy.world has just joined Cloudflare (unrelated)
I’d just like to know what your solution to DDOS and other bad actors is if it’s not cloudflare. The Lemmy Devs don’t have the bandwidth to waste time reinventing the wheel on something cloudflare already does extremely well.
A walled garden means there’s actual barriers to entry. Cloudflare isn’t a barrier to entry unless you’re planning to attack an instance or are using something like ToR as your daily browser.

if you were going to die tomorrow and only you knew what would you do?
Celebrate, make sure there’s some legal framework for all my stuff to go to my younger brothers and then probably drink/smoke/do whatever drugs I can find to make the last few hours as nice as possible.
I lost the will to keep fighting a long time ago. I’m not actively hoping for death, but it’s not something I’d be unhappy about encountering.

I think they run this one fairly regularly. Works out great for anyone new though

I’m thinking I’ll leave them open. I know I won’t be using a shop set for this. I’ll add a line into the rules about self built setups only.
The iRacing default should be good enough for all of us as well

We're a little sparse on Rig Posts, so here's mine!

It’s well worth it. I find it much easier to race more frequently when I don’t have to set the whole thing up again.
Foldable rigs are apparently great as well if you’re low on space.

I’ll take a look tonight too. We can probably have users submit a link to the mod and have one of us test it out with a set car each week.
Edit: Track is fine

How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?
Reply in thread
I chose to reject Linux for this same reason. I was rebooting 4-5 times daily to be able to play games, so I just reset the default to windows

Definitely something going on then. I installed through content manager and everything seems to be pretty low detail. Wonder if that's the issue. The screenshots look significantly better than the track installed

Hot Lap Challenge | Round 3
Ok, Follow up to my last question, is anyone else getting a horrible bumping/skipping though 1-2-3? My wheel is trying to rip my hands off to the point it's almost undriveable. So far a 1:36.277, but maybe that'll improve when I get the physics sorted out

Back to [#F4](https://mastodon.social/tags/F4) in iRacing this week. [#oultonPark](https://mastodon.social/tags/oultonPark) is always a fun track.
This is a candidate for what I’ll race this week. Also looking at the FR3.5 @ Suzuka to line up with the hotlap challenge next week
