If that happens, you can just switch to another distro. That's the point of Linux

Yeah... It's about "freeing yourself from Reddit's control"

I'm honestly excited. He mentioned in the video how there will probably be some more experimental stuff, and I really like his experimental stuff. Money, for example, was really good. And there's still Lateral for us to listen to while we wait.

Once Valve releases SteamOS for other devices, they will be so much better. Assuming they actually switch away from Windows.

Yeah. It's not even the fact that they don't implement Nearby Share themselves that's bad, it's that the restrictions they impose on apps means that an app can't even implement Nearby Share themselves

Oh I agree. Maybe not toxic per se, but extremely out of touch. I think what happened is it just became a bigger echo chamber, because from the already echo chamber reddit, all the people who are the type to switch to the fediverse (privacy focused, foss lovers) are on lemmy, with their opinions being spouted back at them, so it feels like everyone agrees, when really they're a minority.

The biggest differing opinion between reddit and lemmy that I see is lemmy's insistence that absolutely everyone should switch to linux. Of course I saw that on reddit a bit too, but it always had some pushback.

And of course there's also the ignorance of the fediverse's problems. Like people just can't comprehend why someone wouldn't switch to Mastodon or Lemmy.

This doesn't apply to all topics though. There is still some good discussion here. Sometimes it can be better than reddit.

What's weird is I don't experience this on hacker news. People seem to be a lot less out of touch, and have a wider variety of opinions. Not entirely sure why, maybe because it's had time to mature?

the world also needs more concise games

Yeah!

those 20-40 hour masterpieces

...wait, concise?

I don't get how Americans are more scared of Australia's animals when they have goddamn bears! You can get an antidote for a spider or snake bite, you can't get an antidote for a bear bite.

Well then obviously if you use libraries, your code is too complicated

Nice. Won't be playing it till the full release, I still have Hades 1 after all, but all this attention will probably make the game even better than the original

Ooh syncs saved posts as well! Definitely downloading this

Edit: Ah that's not ready yet. Still very cool

And then capitalism that made the company repeatedly ask for him to stop researching it.

Yeah that's because lemmy is way more of an echo chamber so everyone agrees with each other more.

You can send a screenshot of your rumor log to the Outer Wilds discord if you want a hint, they're always helpful. Or I can help if you want

If this is about crowdstrike, idk if that quite applies here. I don't think anything really depended on crowdstrike falcon, it just had the ability to break every system it was installed on. If it stopped working but didn't crash the computers no one would care.

Oh yeah, AskReddit went to shit a while ago. It used to be my favourite subreddit, but it changed about 5 years ago I think.

Did N64 games work on the Sega Genesis?

No, but Playstation games did https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bleem!#Bleemcast! And Sony sued them but failed

It's a proper distro, that's just saying it's not THE official one

To further explain, the joke is that "tomo tawa" could mean either "car" or "moving house"

It would be especially cool for the other handhelds out there like the ROG Ally

I'm going to skip the sponsor anyway, SponsorBlock just makes it way easier. I don't have it on auto skip though, because 1: Sometimes they mark segments as sponsored that still have interesting stuff, and sometimes they do good sponsor segments, and 2: Maybe sometimes I'll be willing to watch it. For example, I always watch the end segment of Jet Lag.

So it ends up being not very different from skipping the sponsor. And besides, I never bought/used anything from a sponsor segment before SponsorBlock.

They're still being updated by people on GitHub https://github.com/C1710/blobmoji You can use them if your phone is rooted https://github.com/DavidBerdik/blobmoji There's probably also a way to use it on Samsung without root since they support custom fonts

Based

Ehhh I don't like the new one. Calibri's better. I wish it had a better g though.

Yeah. The number one reason I won't subscribe is that if their library is missing a song, you can't even add it yourself. Both Spotify and Apple Music allow adding your own MP3s, how does Tidal not have that feature?!

it breaks the fundamental freedoms that make up "FOSS"

Why? All the license says is that if you provide it as a service you must release the source code.

It's not about worrying that I won't be able to do stuff again, just the existence of the ever-looming timer is stressful. And you have to water your crops every morning, and harvest them when they're ready. You can only plant certain crops in certain seasons. There are requests on the bulletin board that have time limits. Shops are only open on certain days, and I know if I don't do that thing today I won't be able to tomorrow because it will be closed. If the timer didn't matter, then there wouldn't be a timer.

Don't get me wrong, I like Stardew Valley. But I stopped playing it, partly because I found it too stressful. Which isn't great cause people always advertise it as this really relaxing game, and I'm sure it is for them, but I guess my brain just works differently. And I really want to like Stardew Valley more, I want to be able to play it and relax.

I'm not even trying to minmax or anything, I try to take my time, but it doesn't really work. I can't just ignore the timer, cause then I'll pass out and wake up with hardly any stamina.

Edit: Also "you can just focus on one thing" sure, but then what do I do for the rest of the day?

Right, so similar to locks? Usually can be easily bypassed if you know how, but it at least filters out the people who aren't determined enough to put in the effort.

That's impressive, getting the dogs to all sit at the table at once

Nah I'm pretty sure it's still lemmy. This page seems to say they are looking at moving to something else, but they're still using lemmy for now https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/

Lol, I mean it's better to have a brief period of drama than permanently put up with the bad management. Although Sodium is an exception to that, I think the people working on it are the right people.

I'm conflicted on the license change, though. I don't know if it makes sense or not.

Nope

The app also doesn't let you add your own music, though... Very annoying, cause some songs aren't on streaming services

I'm definitely waiting. If I have a craving for some Hades, I still have the first game

Hey, I was born in the early 2000s and Club Penguin was huge when I was a kid! Everyone my age knows about it.

Making your own protocols means vulnerabilities are more likely. Better to use one that's been tested and audited (unless it's following something like this EU thing of course)

I don't think they actually block malicious bots, the change they've made is just to the robots.txt, they don't have to do anything.

Also what does she hope to accomplish? Even if it is just a phase, why would that change anything?

Then why did you ask for proof lol

I bought the Zenfone 9, but now the new Zenfones don't have headphone jacks, so I don't know what phone to buy when I end up needing a new one. There seems to be no phones with headphone jacks that aren't huge, except for the budget phones
