Is anyone surprised? There isn’t even a million gamers in Europe who care about the petition to stop killing games, this is apparently ok.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
You can use schedule.lemmings.world to automate the posts. Or, given the community we’re in, you can selfhost it!

This week I’ve been doing some work on my GOG Downloader to finally back up all my GOG stuff when I buy new disks, that’s pretty much it for my selfhost/homeserver stuff this week.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prusa Goes to the Cloud with Optional “EasyPrint” Slicer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
And here I am, just waiting until someone finally does a full-blown slicer for Android. Like, my tablet has a keyboard and a mouse, it would really be nice to slice on it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
This. The US has one of the biggest expenditures on healthcare on the country level and at the same time it’s one of the most expensive for the consumer.

Meaning someone’s packing really big on this and people with that much money tend to be powerful, rich and psychopaths.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 17 and almost 20 wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I noticed, but many people mention that 17 and 19 or 20 are illegal and no one is gonna convince me it’s not bonkers.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 17 and almost 20 wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

No idea if/how this applies in other countries.

Most of Europe has consent age in the range 14-16. I think Cyprus is the outlier with 17. Most don’t have the equivalent of “Romeo and Juliet laws”.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is 17 and almost 20 wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
That sounds really crazy. You can have sex at 15 where I live and that feels much saner.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where is the line between being yourself and trying to change?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
You are “being yourself” as long as what you do is what you want to do.

If you want to start flirting because you think you’d feel better, then it’s you being yourself.

If you do it because you think peers/society/whoever wants you to be like that, you’re not being yourself.

Maybe?

Just get someone with a 3D printer, save some money: printables.com/…/141313-deep-rock-galactic-mug

You don’t want a €55 piece of plastic?

I did, thanks!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wheel of Time - for both the book and show fans⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Didn’t seem that bad to me (though I’ve definitely read books with better flow), I had that exact same thing with Game of Thrones.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wheel of Time - for both the book and show fans⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Can’t wait! I’m really glad I discovered it through the show, now on book 10 and on one hand I can’t wait till I finish and at the same time I’m dreading it.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve opened infinity on my phone if Firefox is to be trusted.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Pirated CS6 runs amazing using Wine. Or so I’m told.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Does additional 32 GB of RAM actually help there? I’d assume this is mostly CPU-intensive work.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Glad you can read and repeat stuff! I presented it as such to avoid wannabe smartasses, guess they still arrived. Since we’ve touched on the subject of managers and hiring, do you often hear the phrase “not a cultural fit”? Wouldn’t surprise me.

If an old geek argues with a senior architect about architecture, I kinda think the architect is the one who’s right in 99% of cases.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are there so many graybeards in FOSS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Sure, sure, old man. Everything was better when you were young.

There never was a majority of people who were into computers. It was always a minority. And I’d argue that nowadays there’s more developers because there’s simply more people with access to computers.

Some of them won’t like them, some will be neutral and some will be “geeking around”.

And having seen some code from people both older and younger, the younger ones are better (note that it’s my anecdotal evidence). And you at least can train the younger ones, while the “experienced” will argue with you and take energy out of your day.

I’m so tired of the stupid “when I was young, everything was better”. You know what else was exactly the same? The previous generation telling you how everything was better when they were young. Congrats, you’re them now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be the change you want to see in Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That was just rules to make it work on the technical side - you’re not helping the user experience if you have to wait half a day until someone manually approves your registration.

The rest would need to be discussed and actually thought out (and agreed upon with Lemmy devs, who own the join-lemmy domain).

I haven’t given it much thought because I see no point if it never gets implemented.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Be the change you want to see in Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
My proposal have been a little more complicated, but IMO works well for a BFU:
- create some set of rules for “default instances” - every instance that wants to be in the list must follow them and will be periodically checked
  - I don’t have any particular rules in mind, but some examples might include active moderation team, obviously registrations being open and if you really want to make it easy, either no application question or having it automatically approved by an automod of some kind
- on join-lemmy, present a registration form that will create an account on a randomly selected instance from the pool and redirect there afterwards
- there should be a link somewhere for “experts” where you could link to the current wizard
I’m willing to work on this if we can sit down and agree on the criteria for the pool. I can also ask my UX guy to help a little.

Feel free to text me here or on Matrix if this is something you think is worth pursuing. I’d also appreciate if you let me know it’s not the direction you want to go in.

Ah, jiggle physics, the most important part of any game.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Current legal position of European Bambu Lab customers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Their filament sucks, the only thing good about it is the RFID that tells AMS what colour it is.

If they do official support for people with developer mode turned on that’s fine by me and the issue is pretty much solved, I don’t mind losing cloud connectivity if I get full control over the printer and can do my own cloud if I want.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That doesn’t help at all, I’d say. Most people won’t ever create communities.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Read only instance would put them off too. The best solution, IMO:
- create a pool of instances that will act as the default ones
- when creating an account, create it on one of the instances, redirect the user there
- add an option to migrate an account to a different instance in case the user wants to choose a different one after a month or so

Loved that game! Well, something with Babiš is long overdue, especially since he’s gonna win the next elections.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Day 206 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
What did you use? I usually use Syncthing to get my files onto/from the Deck. I also use it to sync my mods, that way I have the same experience whether I turn on the PC or the Deck.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The flip phone web: browsing with the original Opera Mini⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Loved that browser, it was so amazing compared to all the half-assed default browsers. Good old days of J2ME.

I also used its bigger brother on Symbian because it rendered the web better, but it was way too memory-hungry.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Kingdom Come Deliverance II releases, what are your memories of the first title?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Game breaking bug that made it impossible to progress on the single save file I had. I won’t be buying KCD 2. Also the CEO of the company is a massive cunt.
