As a long-time Tenchu fan, I feel this was about Sekiro to be honest. It started life as Tenchu 5, then got turned mid-development into Sekiro. I just wish it had a bigger emphasis on stealth, rather than just swordfighting…

Your mileage may definitely vary haha, I use that feature a lot (I’m lucky / unlucky enough to work with a lot of new technologies)

I also use Nord. I think it’s fine, but self-hosted and open would be better (since you for SURE know what data is passing through and what is happening with it). With Nord it’s like a “trust me bro” black box.

That said, I trust Nord enough for my needs. I don’t do anything too secretive on the VPN and frankly I think the 80/20 is in favor of just using Nord over self-hosting (I don’t really have time for that).

Only reason I don’t use Ecosia is because you can’t search for “Within the past year”. Which is really necessary when you’re a programmer

Oh my gosh you’re right, that’s embarrassing. I’m deleting my comment from before, oops. Thank you!

This is cool, but there appears to be no issues tab in GitHub which is a bit of a red flag.

Discord nickname that originated from OneShot (the game my icon is from). I chose it like 4 or 5 years ago and it stuck on Discord so I just adopted it to here

My one big gripe with Mastadon is that images take absolutely forever to load if they have even a marginal amount of pixels. I scroll art often and I’m left waiting for greater than a minute for these things to load (and I’m on a very, very fast connection).

I learned Gimp alongside Photoshop ~10 years ago and it’s my preferred image editor. It does have some silliness sometimes, but overall I adore it.

One of the best things they ever did was making it one-window by default.

I was, indeed, a frustrated developer. Struck at the worst possible time, too

Can we please stop calling Mastadon a “Twitter alternative”?

Makes it sound far too derivative in my opinion - Mastadon has a lot going for it that Twitter has never implemented (Federation being the chief one).

This isn’t at specifically the OP, but rather at the news articles.

Fantastic article, 10/10 read. The roasts are on-point

I definitely like Organic Maps the best of the options I’ve tried, but unfortunately it doesn’t have Android Auto support.

It looks like they tried to do Android Auto support about a year ago in a branch, but they abandoned the branch. There is a new “aa” branch that is active though, so hopefully that works out.

If it does get Android Auto support, I will definitely switch to it permanently though!

Same. In my experience as well, almost all alternatives to Google Maps either:

• don’t have Android Auto support (a must for me)

• don’t have local coffee shops (you’d be surprised how often these apps fail to find 7-Brew coffee shops…)

• don’t actually give you enough time to turn (Waze… Which is also owned by Google btw)

Waze is the closest of these but man it’s annoying with that third bullet point. It’s also not FOSS.

I can only imagine Magic Maps falls into one of those three categories too.

I don’t understand personally why Lemmy.world isn’t utilizing load balancing (specifically, horizontal load balancing). Is it due to budget concerns?

Not sure! There hasn’t been any communication between the dev and userbase for quite some time

Somehow Joey for Reddit seems to still be working???

There was definitely a bottom banner but it was quite unobtrusive

Just because it’s made by Google doesn’t mean literally anything. Google hacks happen literally all the time.

Just heed the warning and slap new Android on it or an up-to-date alternative OS. Otherwise you’re pretty likely to get gotten
