Yeah, I'd personally try out a live CD for a different distro (probably Puppy) to see how the events show up there.

I do wholeheartedly recommend changing distros though

fr! I'll start calling it "X" when he calls his daughter Vivian

All the NMS comparisons that I've heard are also making me want to play it again too, lol

a bunch of records from a retired local DJ ended up scattered in thrift stores around my area; I ended up getting a bunch of really good condition 80s disco and funk 12in singles

In the case of Brave and Vivaldi, they add their own undesirable parts (Brave adds crypto bullshit and Vivaldi is closed-source, so $DEITY knows what they're adding).

Librewolf is open and doesn't contribute to the Chromium monoculture; so it's the best option

They do. sorta. It's definitely possible to put something like Starfield on a dual layer BDROM, probably even uncompressed! But then load times would be fucking crazy because BD is an order of magnitude slower than an SSD.

Distributing install files for a day 1 version of a game and using the disc as an auth key, (which is what they did last gen iirc) is still possible.

The difference between the Fediverse and a closed system like reddit is that it's open and we're privy to haphazardly implemented functionality and bad API documentation.

I work on big closed source web apps for a living; they're just as haphazard and badly documented, it's just all closed.

I don't think anyone liked it. More like tolerated it because of a combination of network effects and it being less shitty than Facebook.

At least, that's why I was on Twitter. People I wanted to follow were there.

You could switch to the ESR branch, which gets feature updates much less frequently.

I never went to the homepage unless I accidentally landed there because of autofill. I normally just go straight to subscriptions. There are still recommendations under videos, so I check that out every so often, mostly because my secondary monitor is portrait and I can see them under the video

 

I think this means that something is wrong with lemmy-ui, but I'm not sure what.

ETA: I'm eleanorOpossum on beehaw.org.

EDIT: FIGURED IT OUT

Cause: I deleted everything in the pictrs folder after the CSAM raid on lemmy.world. The UI was crashing because it couldn't load the site icon.

Solution: TL; DR: I ran this UPDATE site SET icon = NULL FROM local_site WHERE site.id = local_site.site_id; in the database.

My install uses lemmy-ansible, so my DB was in a docker container.

  • I ran docker ps to find the id of the container running the DB
  • Then I ran this to connected to it docker exec -it $CONTAINER_ID_FROM_DOCKER_PS pqsql -U lemmy -d lemmy
  • Then I searched for my instance in the
  • And then I ran this SQL expression to set my site icon to null; UPDATE site SET icon = NULL FROM local_site WHERE site.id = local_site.site_id;

Based on this comment and the rest of that thread (along with some basic SQL knowledge)

I have both. I haven't tried emulating Switch games on the Steam Deck yet. I use my Switch for Nintendo exclusives and local multiplayer games since it's less of a pita to set up

Why tho? The Venn diagram of people who use Teams and enjoy it enough to use outside of the workplace and PC gamers is two separate circles.
