I want to get back to modded Minecraft, but I am lost on where to begin. Would love tips on how to find a fitting modpack!

I would love something like GregTech for multiblock stuffs and complexity, or Immersive Engineering for the interactivity and multiblocks.

I considered GregTech New Horizons, but it looks too difficult at a glance, especially with the infernal mobs. I want a casual play through with some complexity added in. Would be great if you could recommend a modpack, or give tips on choosing the right modpack!

My dad has a laptop I used to use, which has been working well so far. Recently, he got frequent out-of-memory (RAM) issues - the computer freezes, forcing to restart. It is hard to diagnose, but it might be that 8GB RAM might be too small even for light workload these days.

So, I just checked when it is produced - 2015-10. So it is now 10 years old. While I am wary of producing e-wastes, maybe that was long enough life we got out of it. Perhaps it costs more in electricity than buying a replacement laptop? So, I want to ask - is it time to retire this laptop?

This was posted in !world@lemmy.world, on an article about South Korea and Israel. I don't want to go back to the thread and look at the mess again..

Anyway, they said:

In that they insist they're the rightful rulers of a land they invaded and only gained international legitimacy after being backed by nuclear superpowers, much to the suffering of the actual native populations; while everyone ignores their fascist history and present and pretends they're a beacon of democracy in an otherwise savage land full of subhuman monkeys barely fit to be called slaves.

Besides the fact that the the divide is typical ideological division, not "invasion" of sort, I find the following part more egregious.

otherwise savage land full of subhuman monkeys

Isn't this just plain racism against us South Koreans? Where did they learn to dehumanize civilians like that?

Meh, it's my bad thinking there would not be racists in Lemmy.

Why should Monday return every week? Weekends are so short, I want to rest and also do some meaningful things, but there are not enough time for all that.

Can anyone stop time in weekends, please?

I just ended up spending whole weekend sleeping and watching a few game videos, could not do anything productive. It sucks so much that I don't have energy and time to do anything I want..

I don't like how my life is: work, sleep, work, sleep, ad infinitum. Maybe that's all that's allowed for dumb and lazy me..

Updated my actual-budget container today, and met with authentication failure - I am locked out of my budgets.

I turned to the github repo for troubleshoot, and.. Noticed that their commits are pretty much dominated by AI now.

At least they seem to be being up-front about their AI usage by tagging commits with the tag, but it still feels icky to me.

(As a 'bonus', their only support channel is on discord - but I guess that's the norm for many open-source projects.)

Is this fact of life now? Are most projects being written and managed by LLM nowadays? Not sure I can trust the projects nowadays.

Is there alternative budget app which does not involve LLM?

I fear that nuclear war could be happening soon..

Global tensions seem to be rising, and superpowers are allowed to be more and more reckless. It feels like the third world war is imminent, a nuclear war which would end everything.

I am so scared.. I am so paralyzed to do anything now. Am I overreacting? Also, what should I be doing?

I have been getting monitor tearing time to time, even with windows. It wasn't occurring often, and I could fix it by turning the monitor off and on, so I have been sleeping on it.

A few days ago, it began tearing like crazy, and it happens after turning the monitor on for a few minutes. It came to the point where the computer is nearly unusable, so I want to solve the issue once and for all.

How do I go with resolving a monitor tearing issue? Or, is it the faulty monitor? The issue also happens on Windows, after all..

Soo.. I succumbed to my urge and shorted Nasdaq (was too scared to short Nvidia).

I wished it would go down in breakneck speed, but it has only whimpered so far. Still, it seems to be showing head-and-shoulders / double top pattern, and the pricing looks like it is trailing down.

Indeed, you never know until it truly bursts, though. I wonder what to do with my shorts.

This is only a subjective feeling and I do not have substantiated reasoning behind it, but it does feel like the bubble began bursting.

More and more people admitting that it is a bubble, even among the insiders and financial institutions.

We also got some infographic that AI companies are propping each other up. Not really indicative of anything, but it adds to the feeling.

Also idk, the pattern on the stock market looks like the top is in. Ironically, I am relying in this signal the most. Just wanted to post that.

I guess I can introduce stop-loss and other cautionary measures to prevent snowballing loss, but shorting is shorting.. Wonder if I could resist the urge.

I got this comment as a reply to my post:

You can get a job and do your math, too.
Other people do more with less, why can't you?
Answer:

Greed and entitlement.

I feel quite offended, that I have to care about someone else who "do more with less". What does it have to do with greed? I do not get the thought process behind it.

I wonder if I am overreacting. I would feel better if they just said to get a job, but it felt more like they are trying to make fun of me.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for thoughtful replies! Now I feel a lot better - I was in very bad mood when I got the reply above, so I felt even more attacked. Still, I should learn to not get overly offended like this.
