- Comment on Niche Communities won't be able to reach their true potential until lemmy adds a sort that takes engagement into account. 5 days ago:
When I look at the feed, I mostly see memes, US politics, and some tech.
My solution to this (same experience here), was to block all the communities that were flooding with this stuff and anything else I didn’t care for, and then just browse All. Now my home feed is pretty nice.

Oh, for sure. My friend ended up setting up a permanent server. It’s pretty cool because anyone of us can jump in and play at any time. Although anytime someone does it starts the clock ticking forward, which leads to consequences, as I’m sure you’re aware.
- Comment on Day 50 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
Sorry to hear. By the way, you don’t even need to set up a server. Anyone can host within the game itself, so it can be a spur of the moment thing. Of the ones who own it, have any of them tried playing it, especially multiplayer? What the game lacks in terms of advanced graphics it more than makes up with gameplay, atmosphere, and depth. Good luck!

Amazing game, especially in multiplayer. It’s one of my most played games in online game sessions with family and friends.

Yes, I’ve been using this too. Here’s the RFC for .home.arpa (in place of .home): www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8375.html

It still does? They have a version for people with internet access, and a version for people without, with a heavy dose of offline applications and information. You can also download more offline resources after you install it.

Hadn’t heard of it before. Thanks.

No problem, I understand.

People are saying in another part of this thread that many games with anticheat actually work on Linux.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
Same here. I’m going to be testing Mint and PopOS! soon.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
I think this is the best assessment I’ve read yet of Windows 11. I just switched the OS on my work computer with a fresh install of Windows 11 and have run into a handful of issues and frustrations. This thing has been out for like 3 years now. It shouldn’t still be this problematic. I may end up switching to a long-term support version of Windows 10 that goes to 2027 or 2029. Unfortunately that’s only available for Enterprise editions, so I can’t do the same at home. I’m soon going to be dual- and triple-booting Linux at home.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
Plus one.

@Legonatic@lemmy.world @birdcannon@lemmy.world - you might want to take a close look at Bitwig. It’s a top-notch DAW developed by former Ableton developers. I hear it’s fairly similar workflow to Ableton, but also that it’s better in certain ways. This is without even taking into consideration that Bitwig supports Linux. I don’t have any association with Bitwig, don’t even own it (yet?), but just wanted to let you know.
I think I’ve heard that some VST support may be tricky though. I could be misremembering, but also worth researching.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
I haven’t switched or started dual-booting yet because I haven’t had time, but I’ve read the recommendation that the best way to do dual or even multiple boot is to have separate physical OS drives and select which one to boot from with the BIOS boot selector. Smaller SSD drives are pretty cheap these days, especially if you get them used on ebay or whatever. I picked up a Samsung 240 with 0% wearout for like $20 bucks.
- Comment on List of Printers Which Do or Do Not Display Tracking Dots 7 months ago:
True story: I bought my current printer from a homeless man. I had actually found the printer in a box that someone had left on the curb across the street the night before, so I knew it wasn’t stolen. I was going to take it home but was walking away from home at the time and didn’t get a chance that night. The next day I saw it with the homeless man across the street and offered to buy it.

Cool, I hope it will be good!
- Comment on YSK that SLS, an ingredient added to most commercial toothpastes, causes canker sores 11 months ago:
Glad to hear. I used to use Tom’s but unfortunately I couldn’t find the SLS-free flavors locally anymore. I just checked their website and it seems they got rid of most of their SLS-free flavors.
Also, unfortunately, the brand I had been using, Jason, seems to be dropping most of their toothpastes. It took me a while to find a new, clean brand to use, but I think I finally found it: Burt’s Bees. It seems to be one of the cleanest toothpastes I’ve ever seen, according to www.ewg.org/skindeep/ and it’s available at my local Target stores!

- Comment on Mozilla Senior Director of Content explained why Mozilla has taken an interest in the fediverse and Mastodon 1 year ago:
This is the first I’ve heard of “a couple of devs are shutting out large numbers of contributors (frequently subject matter experts which they desperately need at this point) over relatively trivial issues” and “Lemmy has an awful reputation even among the rest of the fediverse and particularly among people who have tried to contribute”.
Can you give a summary or examples? I’m not trying to argue, but would just like to know more. I don’t follow Lemmy development more closely than reading the dev summaries they post, so wasn’t aware of any of this.
- Comment on YouTube's ‘War’ on Adblockers Shows How Google Controls the Internet 1 year ago:
They were big through investors throwing money at a money sink for years. Youtube was losing tens to hundreds of millions of dollars a year for a long time, before it finally became profitable.
A new competitor wouldn’t get such favorable support from investors.
- Comment on Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support 1 year ago:
If you’d be open to try Linux again if it were less likely to break like that, look into the recent trend of what they commonly call “immutable” distributions. This should give you the ability to always switch back to a working OS if anything goes wrong (which should be much less likely in the first place). It’s similar in concept to Android or Chrome OS, from what I understand. I’m watching this space very closely because I’m concerned about experiencing the same thing as you if I switch to Linux, and not having the ability to fix the system myself.

I had tried multiple times over days, perhaps weeks. However, now I can’t recall if maybe I only tried with kbin communities?
- Comment on The "subscribe pending" issue with Lemmy communities has been mostly resolved now 1 year ago:
No problem, I’m glad it helped. The refresh is only needed to update the status on that page, but it actually subscribes fully in the background, if you check back on your list of subscribed communities.

Interesting, thanks. I had seen mbin mentioned a couple of times, but didn’t know the story.
- Comment on Google Brain cofounder says Big Tech companies are lying about the risks of AI wiping out humanity because they want to dominate the market 1 year ago:
You’re probably right, but I just wonder where all this AI panic is coming from. There was a story on the Washington Post a few weeks back saying that millions are being invested into university groups that are studying the risks of AI. It just seems that something is afoot that doesn’t look like just a natural reaction or overreaction. Perhaps this story itself explains it: the Big Tech companies trying to tamp down competition from startups.

I was not aware of this. Sorry to hear, and I hope everything gets better for him.
