Steam deck players, how did you get your game to run? My game keeps crashing on the steam deck, no matter what I do. The farthest I’ve gotten was about 5 minutes into the game, then either the game crashes or the console just shuts down. It keeps throwing DirectX error on crash. I’ve reinstalled, verified game files, even...
I still vote we are some sort of experiment for aliens to observe, and have been under the microscope as they watched us evolve from primal creatures to the death of the world as we advance with our destructive technologies.
I was here early June when there was very little activity. I didn’t really understand the fediverse, and how instances worked. I remember thinking “this has so much potential!” The average instance had about 4000 users. And now it’s exploding. I know many people are going to continue to use Reddit, there’s still more users on Reddit then there are on here, there probably always will.
I feel the users that end up on here are smart, informed, fed up, we see past the lies, we are mature and chill as fuck.
The fact Lemmy takes time to learn is a good thing.
As long as the API remains public there will be add free Lemmy on the ads. But your right as long as people start coming out to these “malls” where there is no shopping to be had, the food is free, lots of chatter and there’s lots of seating. Eventually there is bound to be a catch, there’s lots of people hanging about, if I was the monopoly guy I would be figuring out how to get these people to spend money, especially the cost of keeping the mall open goes up.
Everything on here is awesome right now, it feels like an online forum from the 2000s, everyone is friendly, optimistic, it feels like the start to something big....
It's comfortable to hold, I have the kill switch on mine with the kickstand, I usually use a pillow or a table as a support with the kickstand up. It's still not as heavy as it looks, very comfortable in the hands.
As for heat, it gets pretty hot, but not scolding hot. It's designed to last years
I'm 32, I remember using the internet before google was a thing, discovering flashy websites, hanging out on all kinds of internet forums and chatrooms, ebaums world, MySpace, new grounds... I rember when YouTube was just starting off and it was exploding with all kinds of content....
My biggest worry is that it becomes over moderated like all the subreddits.
I fucking hated writing a heated passionate post, only to have it automatically removed because I didn't read the fine print.
I prefer when everything is voted on in the community, vs automatic removals and strict mod's.
It actually took my motivation away to post, so I ended up just being a lurker.
The fact that there are so many Lemmy servers makes me feel as if one server goes to shit, there will be another one that offers more freedom of expression.
I also enjoy that that there is a specific instance for NSFW content, it keeps things organized.
I'm sure the programers have stuff up their sleeves.
AI is our biggest threat, it's gotten to be easy for AI to be trained to use the internet and engage in discussion. I just hope when that stuff exponetially takes off, it doesn't invade Lemmy.
AI is much like an invasive species, but rather than in nature, it's online.
I was using Facebook as a means to see whats up in my area, everytime I go on now I scroll till I see something interesting, I get a few mins in and decide it's dead and close out of it.
Facebook once was a great tool for local postings, it's now gone to shit. I am really hoping to see another platform, preferably in the fediverse take it's place.
dot com is coming to an end, and people are seeking alternatives, I just hope it isn't a total fragmentation of the masses.
It's fucking annoying. The amount of times I turned off autoplay and sound in my settings only to have it blasted in my face. It just makes me not want to use Facebook, it's become like a whiney annoying baby whenever I go on it.
We need a new MySpace/Facebook esque platform that isn't corporate, I highly doubt we will get that, and even if their was an option, most people wouldn't even migrate.
Hi folks! I created a directory that I will update over time as communities get built. If you would like me to add your city/town to the directory if you have created one, post on the Lemmy and I will add you in....
Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I will create an alternative one on Kbin. For some reason the Canada Lemmy doesn't get along well with other instances.
For example I posted a post yesterday to Lemmy world through Lemmy.ca, and it had way more upvotes and comment on Kbin. They simply just were not visible on Lemmy.ca
The originals you can play on any old computer, can either get it free off the browser, you just need dosbox, or off the steamstore(installs dosbox for you), and then away you go. May want to use a controller.
The games are extremely glitchy, often at times unbearable to look at. The ambiance is where the beauty is at, as well as the clever puzzles and platforming. The level design is incredible.
Tomb Raider 1 - 3 and unfinished business are true videogame relics.
I've been exploring the fediverse and subbing and posting all over the damn place. Realizing lemmy can federate with kbin blew my mind. Not to mention the possibility of turning my old laptop into a personal server to host my own instance. Is this what it felt like to discover how the internet worked in the 90s?
Why can't we just let the users decide what gets visibility vs what doesn't?
I know it may be a stupid question. The problem with Reddit was it become to moderated to the point if you didn't read the fine print your post would get removed.
I think users simply agree what is relevant to the community and what isn't and will vote accordingly.
If the content is obviously NSFW take it down, and if they are spamming obviously ban them and remove the spam.
I really would hate to Lemmy become overmoderated.

"Unidentified"? More like "Don't ask, don't tell" (sh.itjust.works)
It is crazy to me how much the lemmy experience has improved since joining here from Reddit a few weeks ago.
The fediverse isn’t going anywhere, and just getting started!

I am interested in steamdeck but I have heard that it is really heavy if you are holding it for many hours.
Does this console worth it? Also how hot does it get in the summer if you are doing demanding things without AC?
The internet is great again, thanks to all of you 🙂
