“Sega Dreamcast”

Soon, call scams will figure out how to use their own LLMs to run the scams, and we’ll just have robots talking to robots.

What a time to be alive

Sucks that all of the iOS apps require getting an invite to TestFlight, including joining some discord server to ask for it. It doesn’t help that Lemmy on mobile Safari sucks, so being an iOS user on Lemmy requires either a lot of patience or a high level of commitment.

It’s nice that there are a lot being worked on, but I feel like whichever hits the appstore first will win.

what a scam smh

Because it’s cool

No joke I have this controller too and it’s great. The left analog stick on mine started to drift after about a year of street fighter, but that’s better than most controllers. A hall effect version of this thing would be the last controller I’d ever buy.

Did she stop singing, or did she stop being french?

Hell yeah! I still think about Metroid Prime every now and then. That’s an adventure that sticks with you.

… although I wouldn’t mind forgetting the fully-voice buddy characters from 3.

The Smash controller is very good, but not as good as an original. The new one is lighter, is made of cheaper materials (my non-scientific opinion from holding them), and has triggers that can get stuck at certain angles.

But as far as modern GC controllers go, that’s probably the best option.

ACTUALLY it’s GNU/Linux (pronounced gu-noo-SLASH-li-nux). I know it’s just a “meme”, but get your facts straight buddy, this ain’t fucking le reddit.

Don’t make me have to rm -rf your ass.

Is this a “just trust me bro”, or do you have a reputable source to back up what you’re saying?

It happened even while I was typing the above comment. Replying to you now doesn’t seem to do it, maybe because only 2 comments are visible in this view. I guess the full comment thread also tries to load new comments automatically?

Also, scrolling around sometimes abruptly loses momentum, which is very jarring on iOS.

So I’m not the only one experiencing weird jittery scrolling that jumps around on its own for no reason?

PeerTube migration time! Federate everything!!!

Actually I was referring to the background of the comment being colored yellow instead of white. I think it’s because it was recently posted when I saw it. It’s not yellow anymore, but another comment here posted more recently did appear yellow until after it passed the 10 minute mark.

So I guess lemmy just highlights comments that are less than 10 minutes old. IIRC reddit had a feature like that for gold users, but it only did it after you already visited the comments section at least once.

Why is your comment highlighted yellow for me? (via lemmy.world web ui)

Extremely charitable guess: they want it to be open to prevent the spread of germs slightly (so nobody has to touch a door), but need the option of closing it after school hours to prevent vandalism.

I’ve been exclusively using Silverblue (well, Kinoite, which is the KDE version) as my main workstation OS for at least 8 months, and gaming on it is no different from other operating systems. Once you install Steam from Flathub, it all just works. The only difference is that you might need to give Steam permission to access your external drives if you want to add a Steam library on them. KDE Plasma lets you do it from the system settings app easily.

For generic Wine usage, I just use Lutris. Steam does allow you to add non-Steam games and run them through Proton, but IMO Lutris’ interface is easier for doing more advanced Wine stuff without having to drop into a terminal. That’s personal preference though.

As far as drivers, I didn’t have trouble installing the Nvidia driver (I have a 1080 TI). I don’t remember exactly what I did to install it system wide, since that was many months ago, but it was easy and well-documented IIRC.

What’s more complicated is getting the driver to work in graphical apps launched from toolboxes. If you’re doing development, or expect to build graphical software/games from source, you’ll likely need to deal with this. Basically, you just need to install the driver again inside of the toolbox, and make sure it’s the same version as what’s installed on your base system. I have some scripts to automate this if you’re interested, but it’s not really that useful unless you’re planning to use toolboxes a lot.

Overall, I’m very happy with Silverblue/Kinoite. The immutable base system gives me a lot of confidence on the long-term reliability of the system. Originally, I expected it to be a real blocker for most software, but the only thing I couldn’t get working was TeamViewer (didn’t try that hard tho tbh). I’ve even been able to get complex stuff to work like Unity, O3DE, Stable Diffusion webui, and a bunch of other AI-related stuff that is normally hard to install even on a regular system.

Fedora Kinoite: 9/10 – highly recommend
