It’s not even a theory in the scientific sense, like the theory of evolution is. There is no evidence involved, nor experimental data. Intelligent design was created as an “answer” to evolution, nothing more. It could be taught in a theological class, not biology.

Sure, but on Apollo it wasn’t all that bad.

“Damn it, Jim! You just lost the company 100.000 dollars!”

“How big of a failure are we talking about here?”

“It’s about a 0.00000227272 Musk! You’re fired!”

Could this be improved by Lemmy apps and the web interface by integrating a player?

Why were videos more prominent on Reddit; was it easier to upload videos to it?

I suspect the video experience can improve in the future.

I hadn’t realized that video hosting on Reddit servers was a big thing. I have linked to videos I made on YouTube and I guess Reddit Enhancement Suite and Apollo made that look good.

So I suppose we need to wait and see how the clients evolve and if people start linking to more video content where appropriate, like in a community such as c/videos or c/unexpected.

I just might. Somebody linked the issue on GitHub!

Watching the new season made me wonder if I Futurama was ever actually good. Are my fond memories of the old episodes just nostalgia?

No, I started rewatching the old seasons and in my opinion the general quality of the jokes and writing was much higher then. The over-reliance on current-day events just doesn't work for Futurama, either. But there were some good episodes. For example, I really liked the season finale, the anthology episode.

I think they can make it good again, if they just stick with what made Futurama great in the first place, instead of trying to recreate is into something new.

Thanks, this is the answer I needed.

You're right. I changed it.

If anything, this highlighted for me how hard it still is to edit large posts on Lemmy! Also, I went to another instance multiple times without realizing it after I clicked "Show context", which made it impossible for me to edit the post, because I was on a different instance!

This will take some getting used to and/or fixing!

Whatever works for you man. Screw what anyone thinks about what you do. Do your thing. Nothing really matters all that much, except how you feel about yourself.

You put them in the fridge?

I don't know, it seems you disabled new posts, but there might still be good information that is readable there?

We’re really getting into Game of Thrones territory now…

And then my co-student refreshed the page a 1000 times for laughs and the counter went up, because I didn't install a cookie with an IP check.

I added a disclaimer. Might still be useful for historical purposes, or when the project becomes alive again, as open source project sometimes do.

No problem! For adding art for non-Steam games, I’d really recommend the SteamGridDB plugin for Decky Loader! And of course Steam ROM Manager for things like emulators and ScummVM, etc.

SyncThing is great. I have it on all my computers and a VPS. At least two clients need to be online for them to be able to transfer data, of course, so that VPS comes in handy. Something like a Raspberry Pi would work.

I sync all my emulator save games with it, for instance.

I guess these days it’s mostly Ionic or Quasar…?

I had no issues when I ran it. Besides, it’s marked Playable by Valve (for all that’s worth), and ProtonDB seems to agree.

Maybe they fixed it?

Since the Steam Deck is just Linux, I simply use Linux tools for that. I like the command-line, so I mostly use gdu there. It helps to learn the structure of the file system. Of course, there are GUI tools available and on the list, as well.

But some people don't like going to the desktop, so I guess some sort of tool within game mode would be nice for them.

I don't know, I felt that such things move into the realm of guides, and many of these things are either general Linux skills, as well. Also, it costs a lot of time and effort to do this for a large number of software.

Basically, lists such as these help you to find what is available, but the specific documentation for those tools can help you further when needed.

Of course, I know my way around Linux, so those kinds of guides would be more aimed at low to medium technical users, which again, take a lot of time to write.

I edited the post and added Filelight. I personally prefer gdu on the command-line, it's awesome.

I used to do that sometimes. But I guess Reddit Enhancement Suite had improvements that made it bearable to edit large texts. I hope more and more of RES gets into lemmy-ui.

There is a link somewhere on that page, which links to the download for the app. That's why I used it, I guess. I changed it to the Flatpak link.

Reading documentation is still king here.

I have replaced Chiaki with Chiaki4deck.

I changed it to the Flatpak link.

Nice. I was using System Monitoring Center, but that’s based on Python and it uses a bit too much system resources, in my opinion. It’s pretty, though.

Which one? I used to listen to a couple of them in the car, but not so much lately! I figure it's probably The Steam Deck Podcast.

Nice! Keep that one going. I like the vibe of your podcast. Unfortunately, most of the other podcasts seem to have stopped putting out new content.

What about Final Fantasy XII? You mentioned VII Remake, it’s semi-open world, music/atmosphere is as good as any Final Fantasy game and it should play very well on Steam Deck. You could even emulate the Zodiac International translated version for PS2.

You don’t need Proton-GE for Fallout 76, even.

Is that It’s an asynchronous operation and you need to send messages in the form of events back to the UI thread. But it’s difficult to predict how much of the total percentage of progress you just finished in the small part it’s doing, since every part is doing something different or longer-taking. So it’ll jump and won’t be steady. Or, you make a fake one that goes steady and shows down at the end, or something similar. So, fake. :)
