Don’t want to pile on but the lack of a web client in favor of a Windows Store client really kills this for me. I mean, I’m not even on windows so it’s a deal breaker anyway. Would love to get this talking to Lutris somehow.

Also going to pile on a bit about your use of Discord, it is walling off information in a proprietary communication channel. Support tickets should be handled on the web so others can easily tack on if they are experiencing the same issues etc.

Of course this is anecdotal but I haven’t seen that - most of the disdain I’ve seen is towards new instance admins who don’t take proper steps to moderate stuff or prevent spammy signups.

Is “keeps asking for the password” the definition of “unusable on Linux”?

I have zero issue using this on Linux fwiw; yes, I am asked for password again on BW when I reboot/start my system. That is not inconvenient to me.

I took “breaking up Google” to mean the Alphabet suite of companies; I had presumed “Google” was just shorthand for “Alphabet”. But I might be wrong

I know very little about the operating structure of Google, but I wonder how this would work functionally. Doesn’t most of their revenue come from ads? So like you couldn’t have google search’s ad business help to prop up the lines of business that don’t make money (Youtube, chrome development)

I’m not anti-breakup but I just wonder if this would imperil some of their lines of business. Like would Youtube shove even more ads down your throat post-breakup?

Does that invalidate his point regarding enshittification?

I think it might matter if Cory came out and said, I am starting an org with the resources to fix it. But I don’t see how this tidbit is relevant for a guy who coined the term about what’s happening here and has been beating the drum about the problem.

Ryujinx repo was just taken down from Github too

Sure, but there are other ActivityPub protocol softwares that have quote replies and moderation, that aren’t Mastodon. I think the challenge is getting the average user to seek out an instance running one of those softwares and not just mastodon dot social.

This x 1000. I’ve had a buddy razz me over using plain, simple Debian because it’s not bleeding edge and the packages are out of date in some cases. bro I don’t care I just want to play some games and occasionally use LibreOffice for some stuff.

Love it, though I’m not sure what I would emulate. I have 1000s of games from other systems already and I much prefer the handheld format (anbernic) - the model I have won’t be doing GC emulation. Still, love the tech progress behind this.

he hasnt been involved for quite some time IIRC

This is cool to see. I tried my hand at running an instance most of last year but threw in the towel this past January. It was just me and 1-2 other active users and none of this software is wide spread enough to have a good solid support community. I really appreciate the people out there dedicating their time and other resources to making this work. (Truthfully, I didn’t put a ton of thought into how and where I was hosting my instance before inviting others to sign up, which is on me, and I think is what ultimately came back to haunt me down the line - my GoToSocial instance is much healthier, for example)

lets see if my father in law changes his opinion on mail in voting now, conveniently

Honey, wake up, its April 1! Month of Losers is back!

Classic overconfidence - “I have installed a hard drive before, what could they possibly be trying to tell me on that paper?”

I learned and won’t make that mistake again… until I do

When I bought some of these earlier this year, the re-seller included an adapter that blocked those pins to prevent the reset issue. Didn’t know what they were for at first and almost tossed them. (I should have read the included slip of paper)

I like RawTherapee for this as well. It’s been a while since I tried Darktable tho, maybe I should give it another chance.

Starting to look cloudy for southern US (Texas, Arkansas). This sucks.

Culture change takes a while; I feel like even if they replaced everyone at the top with safety minded engineers to run the company, it would be some time before they dig themselves out of the hole they created for themselves.

Fantastic! Really changes the look of a base when there is nothing rectangular. That’s a trap I fall in all too often.
