- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 11 hours ago:
Obsidian backlinks from my daily notes :) Though I use it more often to track my books, as I mostly play endless live service games 😅
I can sort of use my Steam review date stamps too to track what I played, bc I review the vast majority of games I try.

Actually the observer and explorer links redirect to external sites (fediverse.observer and lemmyverse.net respectively)
It would be odd to single out just the biggest server instead of letting people decide themselves; I have a feeling this exclusion is to do with .world’s users having a beef with the folks running .ml 😅 (and vice verse - join-lemmy.org seems like the official Lemmy site, so ran by the .ml ppl)

complete tangent: I see lemmy.world is listed there, but anyone knows why .world doesn’t appear on join-lemmy.org’s list of servers?

Some users don’t have the time to block, simply conclude “this is a hostile environment” and leave.
This exactly.
As the anecdote puts it, once you start tolerating Nazis in your bar, it becomes a Nazi bar.
They poison the space, and the regular folks leave.

Thanks, actually I was already using it for backing up my Gmail inbox, so now I looked at its search features, and found the Expression (Power) Message/Calendar Search - NG addon that provides Gmail-like filtering :)

thanks, I’ll check them out!

Sounds like it’s an opt in, what am I missing
Because it’s a clear step on the enshittification slide. It’s opt in for now.

Btw (sort of just thinking out loud) could paying for an email domain be a solution? I see many webhosts offering email + domain packages for like 1-3 GBP/month, and we could just download the emails into, say, Thunderbird, so if a company turns shit, we still have the domain and all the emails received/sent over the years.
- Comment on Gemini will now automatically summarize your long emails unless you opt out 1 week ago:
Do any other email services/clients have a very similar search function? Where I can search for date ranges and email sizes in addition to the more typical operators.
At my workplace I have to deal with Outlook, and it’s a pile of crap in comparison.

Ok this is the first step where I feel an actual urge to look for Gmail alternatives. I’m a desktop-only Gmail user, but I can see where this is going… :/ Also heavy user of Google Drive and Sheets, so it’s going to be annoying if I have to replace all of them :/

- Comment on 70% of games that require internet get destroyed 2 weeks ago:
In a way, piracy can fix that problem too, since pirate servers existing for ongoing games means they’ll never actually die
That happened to Ragnarok Online. Iirc the early server code got leaked by hackers (it seems it’s still being developed on GitHub lol), so all throughout the game’s 20+ years lifetime it has had a flourishing private server scene with hundreds of servers still online, so I don’t think it will die in our lifetimes.
- Comment on Wait, that game is still playable online? 2 weeks ago:
Guild Wars 1 - last month celebrated its 20 years anniversary :) I only started it in 2018, but it’s a really solid game!

fuck, I’m using the Pocket plugin a lot :[
not for bookmarking, just to mark where I was in longer videos and webcomics, 1 click on/off, easy
- Comment on The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s one of the memories I retained of my 12-years-ago playthrough that the first boss was the most difficult by far.
Another of my issues is that I’m a completionist and want to play every sidequest and get most unlockables. And that means either juggling 4 wiki lists while playing, or as I ended up having to do, unify them into a single spreadsheet for each chapter. Spending hours not actually playing the game 😑
- Comment on The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May 2 weeks ago:
or be like me, play Witcher 1, then play other stuff for 12 years, then start replaying it again to go through the whole series this time, then take a 6-months break 2 chapters in… 😅 (yea, I have issues)
- Comment on The Witcher III is currently on sale for 3€ until 25th May 2 weeks ago:
I wish Cyberpunk went under -60% off. I don’t tend to buy stuff over -80% sale, so more patience for me… 😅

Makes sense! I hope it won’t get enshittified now that Canva bought them.

Thanks, glad to hear the alternatives work for her! Does she use FLOSS ones (Inkscape, Scribus, GIMP, Krita, etc.) or Affinity’s programs?
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 1 month ago:
Thanks, that’s interesting to hear! Can I ask what sort of graphic design she does?
My work primarily involves CMYK publications made in InDesign, using graphics made in Illustrator and Photoshop. So inter-operability and compatibility with professional CMYK printing are key for my needs.
- Comment on Adobe Gets Bullied Off Bluesky 1 month ago:
Honestly nah, there are lots of other good options.
Unfortunately as someone who uses Adobe programs for work, the FLOSS alternatives are just not there yet :/ (especially considering how seamlessly Adobe programs work together)
