Appreciate the transparency here, keep up the great work <3

...fetaverse? :)

I think they’re referring to a trade in programme

That is impressive. I host a fair amount at home but do rely on lots of cloud services too. My doorbell won’t ring on all my smart speakers if the internet is down!

… does she still think she did a good job?

I can honestly say since Twitter did this I’ve hardly ever used it

Cannot updoot enough, I love this game. Best RTS I've ever played!

It seems like PeerTube does allow peer to peer streaming of watched videos too, so that might help mitigate the bandwidth requirements. The storage and transcoding requirements will be far larger than things like Lemmy though, agreed.

Majel Barratt is a great shout - I'd probably go for Data or Picard though :). Or maybe Holly from Red Dwarf?

At least it gives us plenty of mildly infuriating content!

Wow, I wonder how long this will last!

I use parsec to play retro games with my mates by streaming from my pc. Works really well!

Absolutely. It really depends what you want to do. Jump straight into the frontline meat grinder and you’ll be able to dip out whenever you like. You could even do some basic logistics runs in that time. Start building bases or factories and that’s when there’s a huge time commitment lol

Absolutely messed up. What is wrong with people?!?

Satisfactory Update 8 (Lumen makes it very pretty) and Beyond All Reason mainly!

I generally don't trust most git GUIs - a number of our developers have used SourceTree on OS X before and it's led to nothing but issues. The only one I trust is the one built into IntelliJ IDEA, otherwise I'll use commandline.

iPhone 14 Pro Max. I know, I know, but the battery life can’t be beat. Great speaker, screen and camera too. Used to have a Huawei P30 Pro that was awesome though

A great question. Probably Norman just so he can randomly say "What's happening, dudes?", but Hattie had some pretty good lines too, she could bang her head on the screen to count things.

Oof. I feel there’s a lot more of this kinda stuff to come…

Yeah, definitely a Memmy thing. Happened to me too.

Yeah, a good point I guess. It generally is the same type of person who is somewhat sociopathic who also happens to find themself in a position of power and wealth etc.

Amazing, thanks for sharing. Some super interesting new finds - this game really is the gift that keeps on giving!

Can see you from my local instance :)

Yup, I've done the full switcheroo. Not going to be using Reddit's app and 90% of my Reddit use is on my phone...

It varies hugely. Rocket League is my most played on Steam and I think I'm at around 1700 hours, but that's the kind of game I've played on and off for years. The other worst was Foxhole which I managed to rack up 600 hours in over a couple of months. Usually for a game I like it'll be 100-200 hours, but it does vary hugely.

The hero we needed <3

Only if it turns up in a search result for something. I refuse to install their crappy app on my phone and Lemmy scratches enough of the itch that I haven’t been tempted back

Inb4 YouTube starts charging for API access… too soon? :(

I didn't need to hear this today :(. Brb, going to give my cats a hug.

For those who want something like Plex used to be (self hosted, simple, fast, beautiful, no bullshit spam), definitely check out Emby. I’ve been using it for years and it’s fantastic!

Posting from it now, it’s fantastic!

I’ve been using Emby for a few years after Plex just became worse and worse, relying on cloud logins and being unreliable, pushing their own junk content above my library etc. Emby reminds me of what plex used to be, it’s amazing!

Loving the new update - starting a new update 8 run with some friends, been a while! Getting horrendous frame stutter trying to play multiplayer at the moment, but I guess that's the price to pay for running the experimental release.

Trying to avoid Reddit at the moment... but Apollo is my go-to on iOS, rif is fun on Android. Both are shutting down at the end of the month so here I am!

It really is! I used to love TA back in the day but never got into the online scene. BAR is definitely my type of game, had some epic battles!

Not quite got that far yet - will let you know in a day or two! :)

I miss IRC!

Agreed. Sensible to only do the incoming too, I had an outgoing one and it got hijacked because SMTP security seems to default to 'least secure'. For example if there is a single character out of place in the config file, I found it basically opened everything up rather than reporting an issue :)

Uhh… Baldur’s Gate 3?

Good point - I did find torrents a lot more fiddly to set up though.
