niisyth,

FFS, I moved from Quickpic for the same reason and now Simple Gallery Pro.

Ugh

niisyth,

I think this’d be a neat companion to Switch 2. A new gen new 3ds + Wii U analogue.

Vs Nintendo having just Switch and Switch Lite. As neat as the Switch Lite is, it isn’t in the same niche as Ninty’s earlier handhelds and I feel like there is a market for it. Though, it might be that the folks in that demo are probably just fine with their phones now.

niisyth,

That and Emudeck.

The most seamless retro gaming setup I’ve used yet.

niisyth,

I bought an old business HP 3500 Pro ans have been running jellyfin and a number of socker containers from it. Plus it is quite upgradeable since it’s just a pc, and cost me just 100 CAD.

niisyth,

What’s the audience and which games do you already like??

It’s too wide of a net to cast over ALL multiplayer games.

How do y'all deal with programs not supported on Linux?

I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....

niisyth,

For occasional use of a Windows specific software, how feasible is it to keep a VM handy? Not too much of a drag or a bit of a hassle.

Been on the edge of turning the main OS to linux on the gaming rig.

niisyth,

Would Calibre Web fit the bill maybe?

niisyth,

Was just looking into if I could do local multiplayer on a couple of Decks for Yuzu and it is definitely possible.

Will update how that went after the weekend.

niisyth,

Never thought about it that way but it is an excellent policy. Thank You.

Now if only we could get the goddamn Mickey Mouse in public domanin.

niisyth,

Never had any trust on em due to the former reasons but I didn’t even know about the last part. Glad I always side eyed them with suspicion.

Meta Confirm Charging EU Users For Ad-Free Access to FB and Insta (alternativeto.net)

Meta has officially confirmed its decision to introduce a subscription plan for ad-free access to Instagram and Facebook for users in the European Union, EEA, and Switzerland. This move comes a few weeks after Meta first considered the idea, amidst regulatory pressure from the EU regarding the company’s ad targeting and data...

niisyth,

I figure you’d pay via google pay/apple pay on mobile and FB doesn’t wanna take the loss for those fees.

niisyth,

It’s not an entirely unreasonable approach since the part that’s most susceptible to wear and tear is cheap and replacable vs wear on the fragile crystal and metal slab of magic.

niisyth,

Foot fetish^2

I had a dream about windows and have decided to setup Linux on my laptop. What distro should I use?

I used Ubuntu once a few years ago but had compatability issues so I went back to windows. Not a great programmer but I’d like to learn. I’m not looking to do much gaming beyond DOOM2 and factorio. Mostly looking for privacy and a way to get back into programming (I have this pipe dream of learning Assembly). I’m not to...

niisyth,

This. The best distro is the one you stick with. AND you’re gonna bounce off from the first one soon enough. You might come back to it later, but just pick one and go for it.

niisyth,

That’s wild. I moved to Preview for 3.5 and it has been rock solid for me. I play a bunch of strategy games and emulation in case that helps.

niisyth,

Apparently also leaked quite clumsily with Anushka Sharma in India. That back camera bump is ginormous.

niisyth,

hits line of hopium

I mean… Yo… We have the steam deck bro. And that’s going to get the linux desktop to 10% itself. And then Valve is going to re-release Steam Machines and VR 2.0. We’re definitely going to have the year of the Linux Desktop

niisyth,

Anecdotally, Mint broke file permissions and then the mounting points for my home server setup. And I find Cinnamon to be quite ugly imho.

I tried Fedora and Debian and much prefer those two vs Mint. Also, KDE is incredibly beautiful on the Steam Deck.

P.S. Fedora and Debian work with secure boot OOTB. Helpful for a laptop install. I know you can make it work with Arch and Mint as well, and there’s issues+opinions with secure boot, but I just wanted something to work. I am not as adept with linux and the guides assumed a particular level of experience with it.

niisyth,

How pray tell would Bluetooth help with having FM radio? The headphone cable is used as the antenna for phones.

The Politics of Fantasy Maps: Are nation-states an accidental assumption you made with your map? (youtu.be)

After watching this video, I realized how little I’d considered the hidden assumption of nation states in worldbuilding. I am pleased to have avoided some of the issue by actually writing about some of the people who live outside of established kingdoms, but I do think I need to consider the subject more deeply with regard to...

niisyth,

I just recently came to the same conclusion the hard way. Trying to find the historically accurate method of national borders, and finding scant details.

niisyth,

I’ve landed in the same boat. Debian is quite usable as is. And fairly familiar when you’ve been using Ubuntu/Mint for a bit.

niisyth,

I’ve also been enjoying “I don’t care about cookies” extension.

niisyth,

Well, TIL.

I thought it just hid all of them without accepting. Should’ve read thoroughly.

Does "Selfhosted" mean you actually have a server at home?

I’m trying to better understand hosting a Lemmy Instance. Lurking discussions it seems like some people are hosting from the Cloud or VPS. My understanding is that it’s better to futureproof by running your own home server so that you have the data and the top most control of hardware, software etc. My understanding is that...

niisyth,

I have a salvaged HP 3500 Pro with an HTPC case and 8.5 TB storage. Started mainly for Jellyfin and now have half a dozen docker containers on it. Great test bed for getting used to linux before I slowly creep towards having it as my main OS on my PC.

niisyth,

Would you mind showing the separate pieces once you’re done with the session?
