Baldur’s Gate 3 is looking to be one of the best games of 2023 in a year already full of some of the best games of the generation. And their stance on microtransactions is great.
Maybe I just miss Reddit is Fun, not Reddit, but I still have RiF installed (I just can't delete it) and it still "works". I can't sign in or participate, but fuck I miss browsing everything. I've definitely replaced it with Kbin, but opening the RiF app just gives me sadness. Fuck spez.
I was an active redditor for 15 years. I don't miss the platform, because kbin and Lemmy are far superior, but I do miss the volume of subreddits and activity. Maybe we will never have that here, but I'm not going back to that shithole.
Yeah, this is "common knowledge" here, unfortunately. As a Greek, I can't even tell you how ashamed I am of all this, and unfortunately it's only going to get worse with all the shitty conservative and far-right parties we elected a few days ago.
So far I found the fastest pipeline to get good results is to use Google Photos editor as a Google One subscriber. Most useful tools are Al sharpen, portrait blur, portrait lightong (not always good). Basic color/brightness tools work great....
Admittedly, the last time I tried it was maybe 5 years ago. I used ubuntu (can’t remember which distro) but I recall having to fiddle a lot with drivers and WINE. Is the scenario still the same today?...
Nobara is my choice. It's based on Fedora, which is a very solid base already, and Nobara adds numerous fixes that will save you days if not weeks of headaches, especially if you have an NVIDIA GPU.
Probably my OLED Vita, a few years ago. I love handhelds, and a hacked Vita is just a goldmine of content.
Though I'm getting a Switch Lite soon, so that will probably ease my pain a little!
On Mastodon you are able to export your followers, blocklist, etc and import them to another instance in case you want to move somewhere else for whatever reason....

I know this is going to sound like some clickbait bullshit title, but I’m genuinely curious, asking in good faith. My two oldest sons are enamored with him, and he seems like a genuine guy, so I’m asking - is he a nice guy? If you google the question, you get a bunch of reddit hate, which I don’t always trust,...

I have very limited background in programming. I quite want to develop the game myself, or with only minimal help. Is there one language that is better than others for game development, or is more versatile?
I made a folder with my fav lemmy apps that I tried so far, and they are sorted by favorite to less favorite. By far, wefwef is my most used and I do switch to lifoff sometimes. Also, the official lemmy app is really not bad compared to reddit’s official app. I would say try all of them and see which one works the best for...
I really loved @FixedFun 's idea for the kbin mascot, so I decided to refine it a bit and make some color alternatives. All credit to them for this wonderful idea! I merely refined it. Note, the circles beside the logo are just a color pallete swatch, not actually meant to be apart of the logo....
We're reaching the end of an era wherein billions of dollars of investor money was shovelled into tech startups to build large user-bases, and now those companies (now monoliths) are beginning to constrict their user-bases and squeeze for every single penny they can possibly extract. Fair or not....
I've degoogled my life as much as I can, but it's almost impossible to completely ditch Google Maps, YouTube, and Android. So I'm not even sure I've done anything significant, because I assume they get pretty much everything from my phone.
Which audio codec are you people using when ripping cd's? I used wav but the size made it not really fitting on my phone (60GB) I switched to FLAC. Many people I talked to said that CD's just use mp3 codecs in the First place.
Closest thing I know is Fedilab, which works with Mastodon, Pleroma, Pixelfed and Friendica. While compatible with each other, each fediverse service uses different parts and features of ActivityPub (the protocol they all share). It's technically possible to build an app that does it all, but doesn't really sound sensible.
Hi! I just got a new computer recently, and I'm concerned about browser security and security in general. Any recommendations for a good secure browser? Preferably open source.
Brave because it has great defaults out of the box, and it's Chromium, so all websites work as intended.
I wish I could recommend Firefox or LibreWolf, but their performance isn't nearly as good.

Anyone else still kinda miss Reddit?

What's your Google Maps open-source replacement?
I imagine certain features like Google Maps’ different busyness indicators might be missing because otherwise that would require telemetry?

Is there a way to audio balance the max gain on all of my 60TB+ library?
I keep getting my ears blown out because of sonarr downloading quiet rips. How can I fix this? Plex doesn’t seem to have any settings to do it.
