Yes! And I recommend Unread (iOS/macOS + Local/Cloud service)

Ability to search Saved Posts, and RSS for them too like Reddit has.

I save a lot of handy things on Lemmy but it’s really difficult to find them again later. It also seems to sort by original post creation date instead of when I saved them so this makes it even more difficult to find later.

Oh god, me too. Fixing that and how having it connected to my TV disrupts every other device connected to it for some reason (HDMI-CEC problems maybe).

Thanks for this. The Silvertunes track is pretty great.

TIL about Big Youth and discovered where the Beastie Boys Ill Communication sample came from (Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing).

Deep thoughts from Teflon Don.

For a brief moment during Bush(Cheney) years, there was this screensaver with some of the more outlandish quotes from his press briefings.

He had a way with words, and that way was to go nowhere. It was an art form.

Reminds me of an oldie:

“Roses are red, Violets are blue. Some poems rhyme, This one don’t.”

Susan Crawford wrote on and talked about this (mis)handling of telecoms in the US context years ago, the government letting the companies divide regions up and ensure a lack of competition.

My reading of the situation in Canada for internet and wireless is that it was a historical mix of:

  • lacking political will/interest to govern from day one
  • a policy of letting the free market run until it’s a major problem
  • follow the US lead for anything new
  • and support the (then) recently de-regulated incumbent (Bell) to dominate
  • give competitive advantages to Canadian companies vs allowing foreign competition even if it means worse outcomes for Canadian consumers (better to protect the Canadian economy from foreign interests than to ensure consumer best interests).

Sadly, yes.

RSS off of other profile content (such as posts) serves an acceptable function I guess (e.g. cross-posting, blog feed) but sharing saved posts does not meet the cut for some reason.

Feel free to jump on that ticket and articulate a more compelling argument, if it’s still open. More votes might change their stance over time.

 

I have an X-Arcade dual joystick that I’m trying to use with Arcade games via EmulationStation on the Steam Deck.

The joysticks work but I’m having two problems that I’m looking to solve. They should be universal problems, not just about this joystick unit, so I’m hoping someone here can guide me.

  1. How to set controller order within EmulationStation? I use a Steam Controller to navigate the Deck otherwise but have to turn it off when I start an arcade game or the X-Arcade won’t work. I think it’s the controller order I’ve read about but can’t see where to set this.

  2. How to set controller inputs for a specific game in EmulationStation? I see the input settings menu but I believe this overrides all games. I don’t see how I can bring up the old MAME menu for game specific inputs. Do I have to do this via config file in desktop mode instead?

The joystick unit has the PCB upgrade that allows X-input. I can see both joysticks as XBox 360. The deck is updated as of August 1st stable release. EmulationStation with 2.1.1 and all other desktop application updates applied including EmuDeck emulators and flatpaks. Based on some other issue and advice, I have previously pointed EmulationStation to a different and newer MAME emulator vs the one that came with the EmuDeck install.
