If I remember correctly it was for the structural organization. Creating channels and topics, marking them done and stuff like that.
A kind of open Slack, more designed for projects or companies organized comms rather than just chatting.

Yep, I didn’t join as I am only there for the general shit talking and not participating in any constructive or useful conversations (it’s a way of life) but Camus, Snoopy, Anansi, THE meerkat and probably others are participating with you on the piefed zulip and codeberg.
The jlailu matrix is still open but inactive and left to slowly wither and die, every sidebars now are now linked to the zulip server instead of matrix.

Dunno I am not administrating it so I didn’t checked. We got the sponsorship tiers as a lemmy/piefed instance is an open source project zulip.com/help/self-hosted-billing#free-community…
I believe Rimu (piefed dev) also got the sponsorship.

We moved our instance Matrix to Zulip. It is much better now and makes peoples talk way more than on Matrix.

Ok, I just looked at the737-NG PFD RA and it looks different from what I know but I wasn’t aware that you had to hand fly it.
As the aircraft was climbing and with the yoke I guess it’s easy to push it a bit too hard and spill some coffee.

I meant an aeronautical source, like avherald.com/h?article=52aca268&opt=0
- Comment on "Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport." 4 weeks ago:
Once the flight smoothed out, Ulasewicz, who was traveling to Las Vegas, said the pilot made an announcement indicating the plane used software to avoid a midair collision.
Apparently it was right before catering service and well into AP flight. As a europoor I only master Airbus so I don’t know how a 737 is supposed to respond to a TA/RA.
Let’s wait for better sources.

- Comment on I've seen hype around the Minisforum n5 Pro NAS but I'm not sure how much is marketing. What does the community think? 1 month ago:
I have one of those minisforum amd hx 370 (the x1 ai pro). Those are very powerful awesome hardware. I use the mini pc as a work computer on OpenSuse and lightweight low power gaming machine (like long haul Xplane12 flight during the night).
Everything is well made and beautifully built.
As for this NAS version, if money is not an issue I wouldn’t hesitate. 10Gbs, tons of ram, Amd hx 370. It sure is overkill for a NAS, it’s more tailored for a very beefy docker server and/or virtualization station while being a multimedia NAS at the same time.
I built my own synology replacement with second hand itx parts in a jonsbo n3 case, but if I hadn’t or just had plenty of cash to spare, I would definitely go for a server like this one (my use case is NAS + docker + virtualization all in one).
As a side note, the “AI” part is just communication for now, those chips are not yet supported for local LLM on Linux (Windows only atm), they need ROCm support for iGPU RDNA 3.5 and the new AMD NPU integration into those local frameworks (llama.ccp etc).
It will come for sure, it’s just not ready yet.

Yeah, there’s been an article shared on lemmy a few months ago about couples or families destroyed by AI.
Like the husband thinks he discovered some new truth, kinda religious level about how the world is working and stuff. The he becomes an annoying guru and ruins his social life.
Kind of Qanon people but with chatGPT…
- Comment on My highest achievement in Expedition 33 (yet) 2 months ago:
I did a few exploration and chromatic bosses during the story but not much.
I didn’t want to be overpowered for the story boss as you can’t enjoy the battle and music when you almost ont shot things. You can even miss lore with some bosses.
So exploring is done now, with Esquie flying and the story done. I can build the cheesiest team I want now without having regrets.

- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. First time pay attention to the songs and I cried. This is the game that I cry over so many times. This is what I think about the game. Spoiler alert 2 months ago:
The game systems, graphics, feel, etc are a bit dated. It feels like something from 10-15 years ago.
Graphics??
You can not like the gameplay and stuff, but the graphics? It’s peak UE5 and well optimized, 99% of the players I’ve seen where making “wow” sounds at the prologue visuals and details, the underwater level and many more.
I haven’t tried low settings tho, I’m playing 4K epic, but graphics are definitely 2025.

It’s a hard one, both are very good and I will do both (first playthrough in French, new game+ in English).
We don’t really know which language is the original one. Plenty would think it is French but the main writer doesn’t speak French and the motion capture for the lip sync was apparently made for English.
But the creator won’t answer on that question, when asked on a French livestream he said “I’ll let you decide which language is the OG one 🤷🏻♂️”
So, 🤷🏻♂️
Insert why not both meme here

Lumière, Alicia, déchirer la toile, une vie à s’aimer… I have so much little green hearts 💚 next to Clair Obcur titles on my Spotify.
I agree that it is very refreshing to see French inspiration, we are not very used to that in video games and they embraced it to the joke level. The baguette outfit were, quote from Guillaume Broche (CEO & Art director, creator of the project): “A joke we had on our internal discord and it went too far”.
Clair Obscur is an art style, the game takes place in the Belle époque (late 1800s early 1900s) and you can see plenty of references to that time, for example the pattern on the robe of the first flower seller in Lumière, just after the red and white tree.
This time period is never explored in games so that is also very cool to see.
Esquie is the best friend indeed, and he has a perfect French as the voice actor for English and French is the same. But all voice actors are amazing, English and French, it’s funny that you can hear the English ones struggling a bit with the French swearing (they tend to say “poutain” instead of “putain”).
And no, no Tabarnak, this is exclusive from Quebec and very much not a thing in France (or any European French speaking country).
This was made by French from France, so no Belgian or Swiss specific French language, only the one from continental France.
It shows after you meet François, in English Esquie says:
- Ahahah François you got smashed versus
- Ahahah François qu’est-ce que tu as pris cher.
“Prendre cher” is very very French street language and means something like “pay dearly” but always in a bad way. You got hurt doing something stupid? Tu as pris cher.
It started from the city of Lyon I think and like plenty of French slang has Arabic influence, this one being the word “Cheh”.
Cheh is a Moroccan (and probably Algerian) onomatopoeia for “serves you right”, so if I hurt myself being silly, I will hear a little and discreet “cheh” from my Moroccan wife in the other room. One magical onomatopoeia to say “I told you so, that serves you well”.
For French language differences, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Monaco and Switzerland are very close and we can understand each other without strong complications. Same goes with Northern Africa and most of Africa. It’s mostly an accent change and most vocabulary stays the same.
It gets a little bit difficult with the Caribbean French as they often use their own local language mixed with French.
Then you have the final boss, the endgame, Québécois. You have accent + different vocabulary and slang. A dude from Quebec HAS to make efforts to be understood in France (or Switzerland or whatever) cause we don’t understand them if they don’t 😁
Maybe we could with a little training, but as a famous languages school said in an add: " Time to learn French, because they won’t learn English"

What about it ?
The writing, the characters, the story, everything is new and perfectly done. It is pure art and something like 98% of the 3+ millions players would disagree with you.
But you must be part of that 2%, meh to each their own 🤷🏻♂️

Same here, I am in love with that game and I can’t stop listening to the 8h soundtrack or watch YouTube reactions videos of streamers crying in front of it.
Being French probably doesn’t help me from loving it… I finished the story 4 days ago and instantly reloaded my save to explore everything in the end game, unlocking every picto, every skills and Steam achievements.
Those Gestral beach mini games are annoying on purpose as they are a reference to final fantasy mini games. The platform parts are hopefully not very present, and I feel lucky to have killed that chromatic boss you’re talking about on the third try with full parry/counter.
Some few/nice advices, spoiler free but I’ll tag them anyway:
Tap for spoiler
Grosse tête (Big head) is another boss with tons of attacks, but easier (psa: kill it with Monoco in your team). Once you can, go see the dragon flying in the sky (the serpenphare, snake + light house) and try to do a “Zelda TOTK” by riding it. Do not go to the final part of the story with a too strong party, around level 60 would be my maximum. And do not equip the picto you get for finishing act 2. Otherwise you’ll be too strong and miss very cool content on some story boss fights. After the story is done you can load the auto save and build a totally broken team to destroy everything. This is also how you can access the NG+ option.

Even if the year is not finished, this game is such a perfect work of art on so many levels that it became the new favorite to me, and to plenty other players.

PSA: You can still sign EU petitions even if you don’t live in the EU anymore.
There are two layers in the form. The first and the one that counts is your nationality, your passport. This one needs to be EU.
Then later your residency address can be outside of EU and you can select “other country” if you moved to UK, Switzerland, Thailand or whatever.

I generally get my inspiration from forums.serverbuilds.net mainly the NAS killer posts (the website seems to be down at the moment of posting).
Then I adapt according to my local second hand market. Everything is bought from auction sites like eBay and some parts need patience to find a good price.
