yashima,

One big difference I see, between email and various messengers on the on side and social networks on the other side is, that emails are me pushing my information at people while a social network is supposed to be them pulling information from my feed. This allows me—when it works—to share stuff with people instead of potentially sending spam. Not all communication is a digital postcard. Social networks allowed a new form of communication. I enjoyed OG facebook until the first big privacy scandal. It was a (mostly) good thing and it was very accessible even then. I‘ve never got such a large part of my tribe on a pull service since then. Sure we all have messengers and groups and what not… but it is not the same. I dream of self-hosting something from the fediverse but we‘re not exactly young anymore and I doubt my tribe will assemble.

yashima,

I see covered phone cases become really popular. and those little camera stickers.

Paus: 60.000 Familien verlieren vermutlich Elterngeldanspruch (www.tagesschau.de) German

Bundesfamilienministerin Lisa Paus hat bestätigt, dass künftig Bezieher sehr hoher Einkommen keinen Anspruch mehr auf Elterngeld haben sollen. Von der geplanten Streichung könnten rund 60.000 Familien betroffen sein, sagte Paus in einem Interview der Sendergruppe RTL/ntv....

yashima,

Ein absoluter Rückschritt. Beim Elterngeld geht es sehr stark um Gleichstellung beider Elternteile, so dass eben der Verdienst des einzelnen Elternteils nicht ausschlaggebend ist bei der Entscheidung, wer die Pause macht, um sich um das Kind zu kümmern. Stattdessen könnte man sicher Geld sparen indem man das Ehegattensplitting endlich abschafft.

yashima,

Wir haben mal jahrelang eine Flasche Apfelsaft mit einem wunderschönen Schwebschimmel namens Lucy in der Fachschaft gepflegt. Eines Tages kam jemand und hat die Flasche geschüttelt, dann war Lucy nur noch ein scheusslicher Klumpen, den wir dann doch entsorgt haben. Das war noch in den 90ern.

Letztens habe ich ein Glas selbstgemachte Marmelade entsorgt, dass 2015 als Datum draufstehen hatte. Habe mich nicht mehr getraut es aufzumachen.

yashima,

I have already written more comments here than I ever did on reddit. I want lemmy to succeed and it needs even us lurkers to do that. It ain't much--but I am commenting ;)

yashima,

It is too late when they "try" because by that time all your friends will be using GoogleTalk because it was shiny and easy to use. And then you had to add your GoogleTalk account to your own jabber client because for some reason you could never really talk to people on their google talk accounts from your jabber.org account. And then google added some weird stuff to the protocol and you couldn't connect to your talk account from your jabber client anymore. So you began using the Google Talk web client and told your remaining friends on jabber.org that they too should come use GoogleTalk because ... and then Google officially defederates and those few people left talking to each other on jabber are finally alone. And then a few years later google announces it shuts down googletalk because they can. And xmpp is so dead that the fediverse invented a new chat called Matrix because jabber is burned beyond recognition.

How many of you are still working full-time remote and how is it going? If not, why not? Was the decision made by you to go back to the office or did your employer decide for you?

I am still working full-time remote. There are definitely some social aspects of going to the office I miss, but I really don't miss the commute or the shitty office politics. Overall I feel I am still more productive from home and happier overall.

yashima, (edited )

I am a software dev. Me and everyone in my team are still fully remote. The team-lead has been backing this. Most team members would have very long commutes >1h per direction. There has been some pressure from middle management to spend time at the office. Not all teams are able to work fully remote and there is a sense those teams might envy the remote teams. But so far the software teams have been able to stay remote.

My partner is also fully remote (also a tech related job) and will remain so. Among friends and acquaintances a lot of people have returned to some office time even the other devs.

I do not think I will ever be full-time at an office again. I could imagine a job where if it wasn‘t more than 30 minutes (by bike or public transport) away I might go into the office once a week. More than that: please no.

I do have a very nice office at home. Not everyone does.

yashima,

If not for BaconReader (the only client that was on iOS and Android when I looked) I would never have been on reddit at all. Right now writing this via wefwef. On my Android phone I am testing Liftoff. I would have been willing to pay for a subscription if reddit hadn‘t behaved like they did.

I stopped using reddit with the blackout and I can‘t say I miss it much. Especially not when my favorite subreddit equivalents are popping up everywhere.

yashima,

Over several iterations the Spirit Island app became good enough. However, as much as I love the game, it is immensely difficult to play in digital. Even when on my large monitor, I cannot show everything at the same time and I need to switch between maps and cards and I find it makes for much added difficulty. I have stopped playing the digital version. I have not played Scythe enough to be able to say anything about that app.

yashima,

there were some really decent TTS mods when I Last used TTS. in any case I highly recommend finding someone to teach you the game if you don’t know it already. I have more than once encountered people saying they didn’t enjoy the game only to change tune after getting a teacher. It is not even that the rulebooks are bad. It is just a lot of moving parts.

yashima,

Apfelessig mit etwas Spüli drin

yashima,

It‘s not just about the data—which is bad enough but as you said they could just write a crawler to get at it. The question is why would they want to federate and why now? Meta being Meta the most likely reasons are terrible for the fediverse and it reminds me very much of Google and xmpp. I saw a really good writeup on this yesterday: https://ploum.net/2023-06-23-how-to-kill-decentralised-networks.html

yashima,

There is no age restriction on finding joy in playing games.

I am f/40+ and I am a gamer and plan to remain so for the rest of my life as does my partner. There is no cut-off. There is just people not part of a hobby that will always not quite grok why you would spend so much time with it. That is not a bad thing, you can always educate someone if they are willing. I love connecting with others through my (gaming) hobbies.

Früher war das Internet besser German

Heute gibt es Inhalte nur noch auf Walled-Garden Plattformen. Suchergebnisse bringen einen auf die immergleichen Seiten. Oder man landet in Keyword Honeypots. Früher (hust), da war das Internet noch echtes Neuland — da konnte man Neues entdecken. ICQ, IRC oder frühe Web2.0 Dienste wie StumbleUpon brachten einen in bislang...

yashima,

Das nicht auf jeder Website meine Daten abgeschnorchelt wurden. Und das noch Leute persönliche Blogs mit einer wilden Mischung an lustigen Content geschrieben haben, weil das Wort "monetarisieren" noch nicht erfunden worden war. Bloglines. Delicious (schreibe mir gerade mein eigenes). Was ich nicht vermisse: Popups.

yashima, (edited )

Und für Leute, deren Mailserver mit T-online kommunizieren will, weil die Eltern-Generation da noch einen Account hat, den sie nicht migrieren kann, weil die gleichaltrigen nicht in der Lage sind ihre Adressbücher anzupassen. Aber danke für den Hinweis, das wusste ich auch noch nicht.

yashima,

Hab auch vieles getestet über die Zeit und festgestellt, dass selbstgehostete Plaintext Dateien grossartig sind. Davon habe ich je nach Use-Case 2 Varianten: Nextcloud Notes und Gitlab (mein Server keucht)

Für Handschriftliches habe ich noch Goodnotes. Das ist grossartig hat aber zwei eklatante Nachteile: iOS-only und sync nur nach Dropbox (der einzige Grund warum ich den Account noch habe).

yashima,

Bei mir sinds ein paar mehr als 3 Projekte--aber nicht nur Software. Ich habe kürzlich fast meinen ganzen privaten Datenbestand von Binärformaten weg-konvertiert (also hauptsächlich allerlei Office-Formate. PDFs hab ich behalten, dass sind ja oft Rechnungen und Kontoauszüge und so) und versioniert. Ich hatte beim installieren von Gitlab gesehen, dass es da wohl durchaus Performance Optimierungen geben soll, die haben mich in dem Moment aber überfordert. Ich hab das in einem Dockercontainer, der braucht schon ein paar Minuten zum hochfahren. Ich nutze viele der besonders tollen Features ja gar nichtmal. Irgendwann muss ich das nochmal in Angriff nehmen das etwas zu verschlanken.

yashima,

XMPP war auch das Beispiel, das mir zu dem Thema eingefallen ist. Und bei Google mit Hangouts war das gleiche. Leider sind das Themen, die vermutlich unter älteren Techies noch bekannt sind aber schon meine jüngeren Kollegen haben davon noch nie gehört. Und ausserhalb dieses Umfeldes ist die Affinität dazu sowieso kaum gegeben.

Man wünschte sich jahrelang, dass die grossen Tech Unternehmen offenere Schnittstellen verwenden, klar. Aber misstrauisch bin ich halt trotzdem nach allem was sich Meta so über die Jahre geleistet hat.

Soweit ich verstehe existiert aber dieser Dienst noch gar nicht. Ich finde eine Vorab Debatte über mögliche Konsequenzen nicht falsch. Vorbereitung ist besser als sich überrollen lassen. Jetzt schon festzulegen wie man reagieren wird, ist denk ich aber verfrüht.

Favorite deep and larger solo games?

With the question for smaller solo games already posted I want to ask if any of you got some large and deep solo games. I'm usually someone who does enjoy longer, bigger and deeper games (not saying small games can't be deep). But when things get more involved and complex, that's where I feel at home....

yashima,
  • Spirit Island. My overall favorite game since my first play of it. Plays great solo as a single or as 2 spirits. Coop games in general are good for solos because you can run them multihanded if necessary
  • Dune Imperium has an automa based solo mode that luckily is simple enough to run
  • On the hard to find side: Leaving Earth--space race simulation. I haven't played that many solos of it but it is a grandiose thing to be launching a moon mission and testing Saturn rockets.
  • most of the big Uwe Rosenberg games have excellent solo modes. My favorites are Nusfjord and Oranienburger Kanal. But A Feast for Odin with the Norwegians expansion is also very good!
  • I recently got Legacy of Yu which is a solo only campaign game that reminds me of Paladins of the West Kingdom but is much easier to run as a solo because it was designed as such.
  • Imperium: Classics and Legends are very versatile and once one understands the basics of how to run the opponents they aren't that difficult to grok.
  • As I mentioned on the small games thread I love Ark Nova and Revive as solos.
  • Obsession - tile laying, worker placement, card-game mashup that I recently found out I prefer solo on the table as opposed to multiplayer online.

I am not a fan of having to run automas so I prefer games that can be soloed without complex bot actions. Dune Imperium is one automa deck that I can stomach.

Favorite small-medium sized solo games?

I’ve been playing a number of solo games lately as my usual group seems to be doomed to never have aligned schedules these days. I’m currently in love with Arkham Horror LCG and the Wingspan Automata, but I also enjoy smaller games like Totem (solo mode) and One Deck Dungeon. What small-medium sized solo games do y’all...

yashima,
  • My favorite solo game is Sprawlopolis (and its siblings Agropolis and Naturopolis, but OG remains the best). It is just 18 cards and I have played it over and over.
  • I enjoy the solo mode of Cascadia quite a bit, especially the various challenges.
  • Sagani works very well as a solo puzzle.
  • Depending on what qualifies as small, 51st State plays really fast as a solo and I've enjoyed all my plays quite a bit. I admit I haven't even played this multiplayer yet
  • Two games that do not themselves qualify as small but have much faster playing solo modes than multiplayer are Ark Nova and Revive. Love both of them.
yashima,

Hope you are having fun with it :) I never travel without it. Sometimes I play a game with morning coffee or during lunchbreak. Those 18 different goals are enough for endless combinations.

yashima,
  • Railroad Ink and other roll and write games might work.
  • The tiles from Kingdomino are quite thick and shouldn’t fly away at a slight breeze.
  • Trick Taking games may work well, I have played lots of Skat outside way back when
  • Kakerlakensalat and Dodelido don‘t take up a lot of space and worked well for us recently
