Hello everyone, I got myself a ps4 console, and did some research online turns out I can’t have a PS subscription here in Ghana since we can’t create PSN account, I really don’t want to buy individual games, I find that quite expensive, and I heard people sell accounts but I tried once and the guy changed his password after a few days, leaving me frustrated, is there any other way I can get games, I don’t mind considering physical copies, provided they come at reasonable prices, thank you 🙏🏿

Hi all. Bit of a long one, but here goes.
2 weeks or so ago, my computer started to randomly freeze up every 30 minutes or so. This happened initially while I was in a Zoom meeting (so nothing graphically intense). The following sequence of events would happen.

• The screen would freeze, sort of. Zoom and my webcam froze, but my mouse cursor still moved.
• I could open up the Task Manager, but none of the processes would populate.
• Outside of Zoom, I could type in Slack, but after a few moments my keypresses would stop too.
• Alt+F4 had no seeming effect in closing Zoom or any other program, and the only way to reset was to reset the PC itself.
• This seemed to happen at 30-minute intervals, but it wasn't particularly predicable (happening 6 times in 2 hours, with intervals as short as 10 minutes).

The only initial clue I had was that my iCue theme would seem to reset to default Rainbow Puke, and while I tried a few things, it seemed like uninstalling iCue completely did the trick. For 2 weeks, no problem.
Before this though, I tried a few things. Memtest, Furmark to stress the GPU, /sfc scannow, as well as combing through the Event Log to see if there was anything I could point to. I also did a clean reinstall of my graphics drivers using DDU.
So we fast forward to this morning, where this has started happening again. I thought that it might be a program called Start11, which mostly tries to replace the Win11 taskbar with something more like Win10, but that wasn't it either. In this morning's case, it happened while gaming, so I tried running Furmark again for 30 minutes (no crash/freezing).
So my question:

1. Do these symptoms sound familiar to anyone?
2. How can I troubleshoot this issue?
3. Could my graphics card be faulty? (About a month back, I noticed some strange artifacting on my my screen, which disappeared after a reboot and has never come back.)

These are my PC stats, as well as some of the cards that populate my MB.

• CPU: Ryzen 5600x (stock)
• GPU: ASUS 3060 LHR 12gb (top slot)
• Mobo: Asus B450F
• Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro (DDR 4 3200 Mhz, 4x8gb)
• A 3 Gbps network card in PCIE x1 slot 1
• A USB expansion card in PCIE x1 slot 3
• A NVME expansion card in PCIE x16 slot 3

(Putting anything in PCIE x16 slot 2 seems to bifurcate slot 1)
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. I'll note in the hour or so I've taken to write this, my computer hasn't frozen, so who knows?

I’ve been playing the online mode for the trophies and I’ve actually been enjoying it allot more than I thought I would, but something I’ve noticed is players are either very nice or they just want to ruin your experience as much as they can, today there was this guy that was camping Harriet’s location close to Lagras so he could kill any player that wanted to interact with her.
I could have just gone to another location but it annoyed me so I just killed him and started the mission whilst he was respawning, is this that common in this game or did I just get unlucky, I don’t get it is there not things that are more fun to do than trying to ruin other people’s games lol.

i ramble, i apologize. this is absolutely a mess of words but you know what you're getting yourself into, right?
i'm 23yo woman situated in southern alabama though i'll be moving to southwestern indiana in the coming months. i'm trading one conservative place for another, i know, but at least this one seems to be more open-minded (at least where i'm moving, that is).
i've talked to some lovely and not-so-lovely people here on this sub, but it's always nice to see what's out there.
i'm currently employed full-time, but that'll change when i return to grad school this fall. i consider myself financially growing as i learn how to buy into stocks and more, but i'm still a pretty broke grad student.
english is my native language but i think i can speak german pretty conversationally. i'd love to practice my language skills if that's an option. duolingo only does so much for me!
i enjoy gaming, reading, nature, practicing my German, and my dogs. i've been playing dead by daylight recently and pokemon leaf green on my steam deck. i'm into mostly romance, fantasy, dystopia when it comes to reading but you'll find me trying just about anything once. i have 3 dogs however only one will be going north with me!
i'm left-leaning, borderline socialist (if you're right-leaning, need not apply). i also enjoy traveling and i've visited 10 so far; i'm hoping to add Canada to my list before the year is out!
oh yeah, about me. i'm 4'11 and a milf in training (also read: fat). i don't really care to lose weight as there's no health concerns. if it happens naturally, so be it, but i'm exhausted by diet culture. i have purple-ish/blue-ish/green-ish hair right now and blue eyes. i'm also tattooed and have a nose piercing. white.
now, onto you —
i'm looking for someone who has goals and isn't here as someone who has given up. i'm perfectly comfortable where i am in life, i'm here to find someone to complement me rather than fix things for me.
i love banter and conversation, but i will say i enjoy my alone time too. sometimes i'm just not in the mood to chat and i hope that's okay! i'm into checkups, but i don't need constant conversation all day :)
if anything caught your eye, please send me a message! i'm looking forward to it <3!

hello!! i’m going to the show at the hollywood casino amphitheater on tuesday by myself and i am SO scared it’s my first concert by myself.
i have a GA pit ticket and im not really sure what im going to do as far as when i should be there? i would reallyyyy like to be as close to the front as possible (im short). i’ve seen some posts about getting an early parking pass but all i know is doors open at 6:30
anyone have any advice on what to expect??
thank you!!

So it seems like every other week, someone posts on this sub asking something along the lines of "I'm a beginning composer, and I want a free software, what can I use?" And there's quite a few of these posts, so I'd like to throw out an overview from my experience. For context, I am an intermediate-advanced flute player (been playing for 6 years) and I have tried out quite a few notation programs. So here you go, an explanation of free music software from a beginner's POV. Some of these softwares have paid versions; I am ONLY talking about the free version's capabilities.
Musescore

• PROS: It has fantastic engraving, incredible playback (I would buy it if it was paid), and almost all the features you'll ever need. It's super intuitive and user-friendly, and I got the hang of it quickly even though it wasn't my first software. It's open source, which means you can suggest bug requests and get responses and workarounds really fast. There are no watermarks (there's no paid version to begin with).
• CONS: The places where Musescore lacks are how it crashes (in v4) and that it doesn't have many advanced features, which are usually required in contemporary composing. You're probably going to have a tough time with advanced techniques. Advanced techniques in general are tough, but that honestly goes for any of the softwares here. As for crashing, I haven't had any issues at all, but that may just be my hardware. It's also not good for collaboration, as it's a software you download, so sharing .xml or .mcsz files is the only way to do it.

Noteflight

• PROS: There are no watermarks on your scores, even in the free version of Noteflight. It has a fair selection of instruments, and you can change the octave of an instrument if they don't have one (ex. changing the octave of a trombone lower to make it a bass trombone). The engraving is decent. It is a lot more possible to collaborate than Musescore (it's not the best, but it's good). You are able to format your scores for free (change sizes, etc.).
• CONS: Noteflight is NOT a software you download, and it gets incredibly laggy and uses a lot of data if you're trying to write an orchestral piece. It is limited to a lot less than what Musescore can do, but it can do almost all of the things I need it to other than having multimeasure rests. One minor inconvenience is that you only get one font, but it's decent and you can at least change the size. You also have a score limit of 10, but you can easily get around this with multiple accounts.

Flat.io

• PROS: Out of these three options (even compared to Sibelius and Finale), Flat has the best software for collaboration. Like Noteflight, it is web-based. This does come with problems, but this allows it to be essentially Google Docs for composition. You have live edits, which aren't in any other software I've seen, and in my experience, it's not as laggy as Noteflight.
• CONS: To start off, Flat is the least feature-packed out of the three (with Musescore being the most). It has all the same free features as Noteflight, except for formatting, which I find a really major inconvenience. You can't change staff sizes, spacing, or fonts, which sucks for large arrangements. As for the engraving, as a musician, I find it unnatural-looking at best. The slurs are horrible, the tuplets seem off, and crescendos and decrescendos are way too wide. That's just me, feel free to disagree with me. The score also has a watermark in the free version, which none of the others have for free.

What are the outputs of each software?
I decided to make a kind of "blind test" for anyone who wants to see the capabilities of each program. Have a look here.
This is one of my earlier compositions (VERY basic, but feel free to give me feedback!), and I plugged it into these three programs. Try to guess which score is from which! The audio numbers DO NOT CORRESPOND with the score numbers.
Some guidelines I decided to put in place:

• The PDF scores use only the default font as that's what most (beginning) composers will care about and use.
  
• I got rid of Flat's watermark (with a PDF editor) because it's not really a blind test with it, is it?
  
• All of the Audio samples used only the free sounds that come with the software (no VSTs or plugins allowed).
  

Answers:
Audio: S1 was Noteflight, S2 was Flat, S3 was Musescore (with free Muse Sounds)
Score PDFs: S1 was Flat, S2 was Musescore, S3 was Noteflight
You probably were able to guess some of them based off of what I mentioned earlier, but the point is, you can start with any of these softwares and get at the very least, a functional score!
Okay, what software should I use then?
Use Musescore if: You're okay with downloading software, you have moderately good hardware, and you want as many features as possible.
Use Noteflight if: You want an online platform with as much features as possible without overwhelming you, but don't want to download any programs.
Use Flat.io if: You're okay sometimes having bad output, you need to get something done really quick and the quality doesn't matter, or if you're writing something with one or more partners.
Finally, a note about the free versions of industry standards (Dorico SE, Sibelius First, Finale Notepad): The features of these softwares are extremely limited, and to some extent are only trying to get you to buy their paid software. If you're only going to use free software and don't plan on buying any of the paid programs, I would stick with Musescore, Noteflight, or Flat. These three have more features than the "dumbed down" versions of the industry standards. Keep in mind you can always make professional-looking scores with almost any free software.
Please let me know if there are any important points I missed! I've been using these programs for 2 years, but I could have definitely missed something. I am NOT sponsored by any of these.
Cheers!

Yall I’m about to go insane… I am trying to play again on my ps4 but every time I download it, it only downloads required content 4, 5, & 6 but then I open the game and it gives me the error BOAR! I’ve done EVERYTHING I possibly can to fix this except factory reset… and I really don’t wanna do that… can anyone help????

So recently I decided to upgrade my PC (specs below) and I completely wiped everything to make sure it ran smoothly. Everything was working great and I installed a few games and the motherboard and graphics drivers. However, the next day I woke up to continue installing stuff and on boot, I could open to the desktop but I couldn’t open anything (settings or apps, literally anything except desktop folders and the recycle bin) after the first 5 seconds. After hours of struggling I decided to reset my PC again, and redownload the drivers and everything worked fine. then later that day after a restart, the PC went unresponsive in the same way as before. I just learned that if I open task manager in the first 5 seconds, the PC functions normally. What could the issue be? My only guess is some sort of driver issue but I didn’t download anything excessive - just Adrenaline for my cpu/gpu and the mobo drivers.
all help is greatly appreciated and if you can fix my issue I can paypal you $25 or something.

There are very few things I remember from my childhood, but earlier last year I began a therapy program and began to attempt to discover what truama had caused me to begin to block out so many years of my childhood. My Therapist says it could be caused by a single truamatic event or in some cases an overall truamatic living situation. I am still not quite sure which category I fit into, or where I fit into all of this at all for that matter.
I was not a special child, I did not come from a good home. Growing up it was just myself, My mother, and two of my sisters, the only one relevant to this story being named Meg.
Two weeks before Halloween, my mom took us all to the near by K-mart to pick out one cool thing for Halloween as well as our outfits. I picked out some knight outfit because at the time I was obsessed with Final Fantasy Tactics. My sister, Meg, picked out one of those weird Voice Changers, like the ones they used in the Scream Movies, you know? My mom just gave her one rule, she wasn't allowed to use it to scare me or annoy people.
About four days later, some bizarre things started. I began to hear her out in the hallway using the voice changer from her room. The almost growling low pitched voice setting was quite haunting. She was only really saying one thing though...her own name. This went on for two nights before she started sleeping in my older sisters room instead of her own, sharing a bed with each other.
Around this time is when she began to use the stupid voice changer to keep me awake. She would stand outside my bedroom door, in random hours of the night, and just say my name. "Zachary....Zachary..." Over and Over. In that eerie painful voice. It kept me awake for hours, and whenever I did sleep I would have nightmares. Nightmares that gave shape to the voice. Always a lonely looking creature, with skin that looked charred with white eyes that dripped back into it's sockets like runny eggs, always keeping it's head down low as if to hide itself from embarrasment or guilt like a child would.
This went on for days... then the tapping would begin. First on my door, then somehow on my window. This simple tapping turned into hard scratching at the door which at first I would assume was our cat or dog. Every few nights the the being within my dream would be see more detail added to the body. First a thin layer of what seemed like fur, then eventually clothes, a visably moldy jean jacket and and on it's head a thin layer frayed hair. On it's feet it wore no shoes and but wore ripped tattered shorts. It had a small mouth, very child like and immature facial features. It always seemed so helpless and lonely.
I stopped talking out of this overbearing sense of guilt I felt the more the dreams continued. I kept hearing the voice every where I went. At school, to the store with my mom, at home, in the bathroom...sometimes I would even hear movement where the voice was coming from...While taking a bath one night, I heard the bathroom door open, next came very soft steps...almost soft enough to be our dogs...
"Zachary...are you in here?" I'd never been so horrified in my life before then. The door closed behind it. I sat in the bathtub for about an hour listening to it scurry around. Eventually my mom came in and asked for me...she hadn't remembered that I was still in there.... I'm convinced to this day it was hiding just outside of the shower curtain that provided me privacy during these bathtime hours.
A few days pass, still hearing it calling my name at night, still tapping, still scratching...Halloween comes. I put on my costume, my sister put on hers, everyone was getting ready to go out for the night. A friend of mine was coming with us and I naively figured I'd be protected in my knight outfit. It was still around midday as Mom prepared our Trick-or-treat bags so I went outside by myself to on the side of our lawn that faced the huge abandoned vineyard. Every parent in our neighborhood always used to stress about how we were never allowed in Vineyard. Eventually it all entirely blocked off by the township and is currently said to be filled with various homeless camps despite friends of mine in the town saying they only ever find the bodies of the homeless and never actual evidence of camps.
I was swinging my plastic sword, fighting imaginary bad guys when I heard that there was someone moving in the bushes. I could hear it vividly, It wasn't normal like a cat or dog or even a person. It was precisely weighed footsteps inched apart bit by bit. I moved a bit closer to my house and farther back from the thick bushes. If my mom knew I was on that side of the house, she would have killed me.
Then it all happened so quickly The voice began calling my name from the bushes. It was only saying my name. It wasn't telling me to come over or anything, it was simply saying my name and moving back and forth. I could see the outline of it's clothes...a jean jacket, some shorts, and it was wearing boots. It was wearing a mask however, one of those old 90s alien mask like you'd see in the Halloween store, the flat plastic kinds with the small eye holes and horizontal mouth slit. It moved down on all fours and began walking closer to the ledge. And that's when I noticed it's legs and hands...they were absolutely burnt, charred to an almost unrecognizable crisp like exaggerated burnt bacon. I could tell it was looking right into my stupid eight year old eyes. It whimpered and seemed to press it's belly to the ground before speaking in a voice that instantly put me over with fear. "Zachary...I will...You...Come..." My eyes grew twice their size and I ran inside, dropping my sword and shield in the grass.
My mom got furious. Shes stomped around before calling my sister into the room. Upon being asked about the voice changer and teasing me for weeks...my sister told us that it broke, that it had stopped working one night after she dropped it in the driveway. She even showed my mom...it was smashed. My mom just looked out the window into the Vineyard. My sister looked over at me. We weren't allowed to go out that night. My mom made up some story about Halloween being cancelled because another kid in the town had gotten hurt like a few years before, something I still don't really remember.
That night my Sister and I just sat in our living room. We didn't really speak. We didn't pay attention to whatever Disney Channel Halloween movie was playing. We both knew the other had something to say but couldn't open our mouths.
After what felt like hours of silence she moved closer to me and spoke -
"It tried to take you too, didn't it?"
I nodded.

Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS on a Thinkpad T450S
Hi. Pop!_OS newb here with a passing familiarity using Debian.
Synopsis:
I wanted to set a background image for the login screen.
After installing Gnome Tweaks and setting the background I logged out to check. As I didn't see the desired BG I clicked the gear icon at the top right of the screen to see what options there were. I saw that these were accessibility settings and decided to try the zoom setting. This zoomed the screen too large to see and somehow disabled touchpad/mouse input.
I zoomed back out with super+alt+- and was able to log in using the keyboard.
I rebooted, and the issue persisted, so I connected a mouse, but it made no difference. All I could see was a frozen mouse cursor and I had to use the keyboard to navigate.
In my search for a resolution I found information on the System76 support site about reinstalling GDM and ran the suggested command:
whiskeydick@pop-os:~$ sudo apt install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop gnome-shell

In frustration I installed and enabled lightdm and logged out, but was taken to the GDM login screen with the mouse problem. I rebooted and was presented with tty login prompt.

I then tried this:
whiskeydick@pop-os:~$ systemctl enable --now gmd3
Failed to enable unit: Unit file gmd3.service does not exist.
Then this:
sudo systemctl enable gdm.service
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy=, RequiredBy=, Also=,

Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
• A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
• A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
• A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
• In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
I then tried this:

Before throwing in the towel, I tried this:
whiskeydick@pop-os:~$ systemctl enable gdm3
This worked to get GDM back, but I still no mouse/touchpad control at login. I was able to reproduce the issue in the live environment when I booted with Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS.
NOTE: After further testing I discovered this issue only affects the initial login screen (after boot), or logging in after logging out. It behaves normally when coming back from Lock or Suspend.
What should I do to get control of the mouse pointer on the login screen?
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Hello fellow meditators! I'm offering a free four week online mindfulness meditation class for beginners.

Hello, after searching in my history, in my memory, with chatgpt and the instant gaming catalog, I am turning to you because I can't find this damn game!!
now the typography requested:
Platform(s): PC
Genre: Tactical military game with view from above in real time (no turn by turn).
Estimated year of release: I did my research on it about a year and a half - 2 years ago, and I think that the game was not released beyond 4-5 years ago.
Graphics/art style: Not a realistic style, but not too cartoonish either, in my memory the artistic direction was close to a foxhole.
Notable characters: Random character but who was military or mercenary.
Notable gameplay mechanics: As I said the view from above like "foxhole", and a "realistic" spatial progression like in games "darkwood" or "police stories" we only see in the direction we are looking, if an enemy is hidden behind a rock or a door you can't see it either even very close, you have to have your vision oriented by the mouse and a clear line of sight, otherwise death is final I believe, and we start the mission again, the choice of equipment is also important.
Other details: The game did not buzz, from memory very few people were interested in it, and I believe that it was paid which is the reason why I did not play it, I do not know if the game is still available or not.
Thank you in advance for those who are interested in this post and make their research more fruitful than mine.

Hiyee! I’ve been playing FFX since 2002 and it’s the only game I play other than Animal Crossing. I’m a creature of habit but I’m trying to open up to new things. 😊 Do any of you know any games comparable to FFX? I like that the path is preset and not open world. I like that fighting is turn based so I can strategize without getting pummeled while I think. I LOOOOOOOVE the characters, don’t know if I’ll ever fall for another group the same. 🥹 Anywhoo, looking forward to ideas! TIA!

I have a Mini Pro 4 and wanted to take some drone footage for personal use while on vacation. I'm not planning to fly in/over any major cities or landmarks but rather in beautiful, more remote places like Sardinia and the Tuscany countryside.
After reading through various online guides, articles, and the EASA website, I'm trying to confirm I've covered all my bases as some of the info can be a bit confusing.

• Since the drone is in the 250g class, it falls under the OPEN category. So you can stay under 70m and do not need authorization.
• Since it has a camera, I DO need to register as a pilot here.
• The A1-A3, and A2 licenses are ONLY needed for drones over 250g and not hobby drones.
• $1M Insurance policy is recommended but not required for drones 250g and under. What's the best site for insurance? Skywatch.ai which looks to be $31 for the month.
• d-flight is the best source for airspace maps in Italy.

Is any of the above info inaccurate/incomplete or anything else I'm missing?

The day started ordinarily. Dave needed the CRM report in his inbox “yesterday”. Carol from HR was once again preparing her Powerpoint while she fruitlessly struggled to find enough bodies for her “Workplace Culture and You” class that she gave every time there was a day that ended in “Y”. Just a little before lunch, that changed.
Some babyfaced intern ran into our boss’s office and slammed the door behind him. Everyone knew those kids couldn’t find their way out of a barn, so nobody noticed. As the clocked ticked closer and closer to 12, something started working its way through the grapevine. It started in the kitchen when Linda broke out in tears after looking at her phone. A couple of her coworkers from the other department came to find out what was wrong, but they were too far away to hear. Slowly, but surely, the tension in the air started to grow. Where people would normally be joking and chatting about where they were going to eat, there was nothing but uneasy silence. Then, at 11:59, our boss’s door slowly opened.
In an unusually professional tone, he said, “Everyone come here. There’s something you guys need to hear.”
Almost like we had rehearsed this, we all stood up and slowly trudged toward his office at once as if moving slower would somehow make the bad news go away.
Our boss took a quick look to see if anyone missing, then cleared his throat.
He paused to wipe the profuse amount of sweat that had collected on his forehead and started hesitantly.
“I just received word from corporate. I’ve- We’ve… been bought out and we’ll be undergoing a merger. As part of that merger, we’ll be reducing the staffing of this office by 50%, effective immediately.”
Some gasped, some cried, and many just stood there in silence.
“This is just a part of business. Please don’t try to run or otherwise make this any harder than it needs to be.”
As if on cue, a line of of Asclepius, Inc.’s Merger FacilitatorsTM rolled in silently. The last one extended a tiny arm to close and lock the door. Without a word, they sprang to life and got to work.
The previously- quiet office erupted into screams as the “Facilitators” began to efficiently saw, drill, bisect, dissect, and stitch people together. Arms flew one way, legs another, and organs of all sorts were tossed to the side, deemed unnecessary for their former owners.
Just 20 minutes later, it was over. Some lay on the ground twitching, others sobbing silently, and a few deliriously pointing and laughing at their new “half.”
As he rose unsteadily to his feet, our boss- now “merged” with the intern who apparently delivered the bad news- spoke up again. “Thank you for your participation. Please return to your desks and continue working. The office will be adapted accordingly tomorrow and any questions you have regarding insurance or pay should be directed to Carollinda.”
