So #Overwatch launched on #Steam and, well, I can't quite remember the last time a game launched on Steam with a score of 11% satisfaction. Usually when it drops below 75% you have to ask yourself what's wrong with the game.
@sorg There's a lot to dislike and even loathe about how Blizzard has handled Overwatch, but I can't deny that the bones of the game are still there and it's still a pretty fun and unique game.
The one thing which I do love about #ArcBrowser is outlined in green in the image below.
The fact that the webpage itself goes ALL THE WAY UP is something I love. Give me ALL the pixels to use for webbiness.
I've gotten used to left-side tabs now in #Edge, #Firefox, and (especially) #Vivaldi. I like them and I'm converted. Vivaldi lets you get really, really thin on the top, but not zero.
I don't like Arc's implementation of tabs and space, it's not my style. That left pane has so much wasted space. It's like it's made for a tablet.
Some good ideas, like pinned tabs. (Will soon be copied I would think.)
Some concerning: lots of data apparently gets sent to Google, unless you turn if off/
Some features I would miss from Firefox, particularly containers. I have walled off some companies (like Meta) and use them to easily access multiple accounts at others (like Mastodon.social)
But the biggest question is: what's their business model? They have venture investment.
@J12t Not quite the same, but you can create separate profiles that keep that stuff separate. You'd just have to make a space with a profile for each website you want fully separate.
I saw someone recommending Aether aside from Lemmy and Kbin, what is it ? googling Aether give me...
"According to ancient and medieval science, aether, also known as the fifth element or quintessence, is the material that fills the region of the universe beyond the terrestrial sphere. "
@NormalTownLeader Hmm -- doesn't seem to me. They compare themselves to Reddit on their about page. I think it's just the fact that it is an app and has a similar layout to Discord that gives those vibes. The actual communities and posting style seem more Reddit/forum to me, or perhaps a hybrid of sorts.
Does anyone have any advice on whether to use #threads or #microblogs when you're looking to say, start a discussion about a topic on #kbin? Is there an etiquette for what option is best? Or do people just pick depending on their mood (having a Twitter vs a Reddit sort of a day)?
@NudelnAlDente Not sure there's really any set ways, but I'd personally use a microblog with hashtags if I wanted some reach beyond kbin or the community I'm posting to. That said, it seems like folks on kbin might favor threads in general, perhaps because it's most similar the posts on Reddit where many of us have come from.
@cody Looking through some of your posts here, nice work! Are you the main designer for kbin?
One thing I've noticed is the preview images in posts that are generated end up squishing images depending on the aspect ratio. Some issues with magazine icons/images as well.
CEO of #arcbrowser asking a question whether a new feature is worth it. Some thoughts:
It kind of feels like LLMs in a microcosm. Sure, you can get it to do some really cool stuff. The feature demoed is simply really cool. But is it actually useful? I personally dont see it. Very high showoff factor, pretty low impact factor for me
Soliciting feedback on potential features like this is cool, good way to run a company
@laurenshof I'd definitely love to use it, but I as I saw somebody else mention, for the average user, they'd probably want to identify some of the more useful ways to use this and turn it into a GUI instead of the chat interface. Love how open Josh and the Browser Company are.
@root Oh, I see how it is, you creating this magazine when I was just about to.
Haha, but seriously, I'm digging into CSS customization, etc on kbin and I'd be happy to contribute to this magazine if you want any help! I've only got kbin.social/m/arcbrowser so far but it's coming along.
@root Sick, let me know if you have any questions about Arc. I'll try to remember to send you an invite to it tomorrow. Mac only currently though, Windows in the works.
@crossmr I believe the best you can do for now is remove the hashtags from your magazine that pull content into your microblog and it should only show local content then, I believe.
