I’m not a medical professional, this is not medical advice.

So there are factors to consider; the strength of the dosage and the frequency at which it’s being consumed. Additionally if there are rest cycles.

The positive effects of caffeine are significantly reduced by the frequency it’s consumed. This can lead the user to consume more to reach their desired experience.

The negative effects however are capable of stacking. Such as its impact on blood pressure and one’s capacity to regulate emotions. Caffeine is also a poor stimulate for someone who is already fatigued or is experiencing weakened attention. It’s best at maintaining ones current level of awareness and fatigue.

One could be accidentally poisoning themselves with vitamins or other additives before caffeine becomes the concern.

It’s generally accepted that 400mg of caffeine in a 24 hour period for a healthy individual is the maximum dosage.

To avoid a dependency on caffeine and to experience its positive effects at regular dosages. It’s best to practice moderation only by consuming it rarely.

Many people will find this unreasonable. The next best option is to practice rest cycles of equivalent proportions. Such as 2 days on, 2 days off. Going larger than that invites negative effects such as withdrawal and tolerance forming.

Everyone is unique, I’m not trying to write a scientific paper. I invite everyone to scrutinize this information and consult with qualified professionals about their own health before following through with information on the Internet. Addiction in all its forms is a serious matter and deserves respect.

In the early version of Lemmy that was tracked. But it was decided to remove account karma and some instances removed downvotes as well.

Each instance has a unique experience, this is influenced by what the instance members have been subscribed to. As well as what instances have federated with the one you’re using.

There are tools to look into Lemmy metrics but they are intended to gauge the health of the lemmyverse and aren’t useful for looking at a single user or post.

But you can see the communities metrics on their page. Active users and such, so you could look at your posts numbers and eyeball it against that with your scale.

But generally a post or comment in the hundreds of upvotes is doing very well.

I’m already on Linux. However the biggest pain point I’ve been hearing is they want complete without exception game support, including the games from the windows store.

Yeah, I rarely used it as a truck. I was sharing it with my roommates that did. But, now I just want a small car that can comfortably travel in harsh winters. Lasted a long time though, I’ll miss it.

Fair, just like using gameplay changing mods achievements should be locked out for this.

I’m looking for a new vehicle. The f150 surrendered, wanting something small this time so I can drive into the city and not spend a week’s pay on gas.

I’d love to watch it try to get the never die achievement in dark souls 2.

That’s not romantic love, that is a parasocial relationship. On the other end of that coin, a cautious person won’t trust the vibes of someone coming at them from that direction. (Much like what happened here)

People can latch onto many things that give them those positive feelers, but it’s critical to not drown in those affections. Hope your buddy bounces back from that, maybe they need to get out more.

Recently I bought a rare bottle of rum. I don’t normally drink and after drinking a bunch of it …I remember why. Haha

Looks like you’re referring to the laptop version of these parts.

The 1650 was a weird chip for an gone era. But I’d expect it to work, marginally less performance to the 1060.

If you have a thunderbolt port you could look into using an Intel b580 in an egpu case if shopping for another system is out of the question. (Bad market currently)

I used to be a part of an anticheat dev team and we discovered that this was a common problem back in the Windows XP era.

We added a routine to check the memory addresses used after a crash and notified the user if we suspected hardware failure.

At the time we suspected unstable overclocks because the metrics showed us the computers affected were typically overclocked as well.

I understand that. It’s just that this entire argument doesn’t qualify. The OS has no out of spec influence over the modem due to its design. Its entirely self-contained component with its own firmware and driver stack. The OS is at the mercy of the modem’s firmware and that firmware prevents this exact scenario described.

Steam makes OS unique modifications to the game, trying to share the same game drive between them causes an update war and corruption.

I’ve tried it a few times, never goes well long term. Generally, I partition the drive and only use windows for problematic games like pubg.

Also, if you enjoy workshop features in games with a native Linux version like Left4Dead 2 or Garry’s mod. I would recommend you force the windows version by selecting proton in the compatibility section under properties for that game. Some workshop mods don’t play nice on Linux and its like playing whack-a-mole solving it.

Tough call between french fries and baked potatoes.

Most Linux malware comes from community repos and fake GitHub style projects.

The default package repositories in all the major distributions are safe. Some examples to be worried about are pip packages and the AUR if you’re using Arch.

My first programming language was qbasic as well. Fond memories of that.

Vet third party sources, just like you would have on windows.

Something I want to tag on for anyone pondering this.

Steam on Linux will be unstable if you try to use your NTFS drive for games. As the support of the filesystem isn’t consistent.

Anyone who uses the word “elevate” seriously in a conversation not about elevators or construction.

Yeah, it was worse when I started to live alone.

Every little unfamiliar noise would wake me up.

Eventually I convinced myself I would be fine. But sometimes it’ll come back if I had a rotten day.

That’s a bit of a huge stretch.

People can load custom operating systems on their computer all they want without turning their wifi and Bluetooth adapter into a two way software defined radio.

Those are rookie numbers. The player base for some of these games feel you’re just out of the tutorial by 10k.
