I’m definitely curious. Browser-switching is annoyingly mentally difficult, though. I keep bouncing between Arc and Firefox, so maybe this is the perfect marriage.

 

I haven't donated money, but I can confirm that the messages are constant and very pleading in tone. Honestly they turn me off from donating at all.

Crosscode was such a delight. I found the story surprisingly compelling.

I teach high school, and it’s so hard to get students to pay attention, even with fun engaging projects. The reality is that these social apps are designed to be addictive, and it’s not a fair contest.

Ideally, we want a society in which real estate doesn’t need to be a store of wealth because we have strong social safety systems. I don’t blame an individual with difficult circumstances for playing the game to take care of their family (to an extent).

RetroDECK aims to be an all-in-one solution. No need to mess with the terminal or anything.

It automatically configures the emulators, has a fantastic custom controller configuration, and is very easy to update through flathub/Discover.

No but when I tried to change Mastodon servers, I was frustrated to learn that I could carry over my followers but nothing else. The platform highlighted "easy mobility," but I found that to be misleading.

I think the biggest problem that Mastodon et. al need to solve is changing servers/accounts. There needs to be an easy way to move servers while retaining past posts, etc.

Yeah, I turn them off in a lot of games. Otherwise I accidentally hit them and trigger some weird effect.

Oh this is absolute bullshit

I think that it’s actually a good thing. If a criminal record disqualified you, it could be easy to cook up bogus charges against a political opponent just to kick them off the ballot. We also have along history in the USA of black folks getting charged with crimes at a disproportionately high rate.

One of my students has been begging me to buy Ultrakill since last year, and I keep saying no just to spite him. Maybe I'll finally give it a try!

I’ve been excited for this game since the original trailer (I think it was a Nintendo direct). I have a few games to finish first, then I’ll get this.

 

This just seems odd to me. I know it’s a competitive game, and most folks will be playing with a mouse and keyboard, but it feels weird for Valve to put out a brand new game (built from scratch, at that) and not plan for this.

 

My friend and I were discussing this over the weekend. Games are inherently different than movies, books, and music. They’re tied to specific hardware and operating systems that may not be available anymore.

I argue that if a game is no longer legally purchasable from the publishers or developer, it should be legally permitted to pirate it. Even EA agrees! They do not pursue copyright claims against LOTR games, as they lost the publishing license from New Line Cinemas years ago.

 

I just wanted to share this since it can sometimes be hard to find communities on other servers. It’s still picking up steam (ha ha), but growing!

For those who are interested in building iOS apps for Lemmy, I found really nice package for interfacing with the API. I’ve been playing around with it, and it’s very easy to use!
