Seems like a solvable problem though. We have a list of federated servers inately built into activitypub, right? Just need to tag results from those servers as being linked to a “lemmy” keyword search.

I’m sure I’m oversimplifying it, but all the pieces are there, just need search engines to be smart about how they index. Since there are a couple of federation based models that would be good to index, not just lemmy, it would probably behoove them to figure it out.

As I understand it, Lemmy, being FOSS, is pretty immune to this since there are no big tech shareholders to appease. Lemmy is susceptible to EEE (embrace, extend, extinguish) via something like Threads, however.

There are plenty of private companies that are shitty too. It definitely helps being private (and maybe is a requirement?), but you also have to have the right owners for private companies to be good.

I regularly use mine as a couch co-op party system, though usually we are playing Steam games, not emulated games. I have played emulated WiiU, Wii, PS2, GameCube games, however, and have found that multi-controller support can be a pain with the emulators needed to play.

Hardware wise, it’s rock solid for Bluetooth controllers up to four, but no more. If you need more than four controllers, you will want to wire them in with a USB hub. We’ve played plenty of six-person Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brawler using four Xbox controllers, one person with a wired steam controller, and one person holding the steam deck as the last controller.

If you go for older retro games, N64 or earlier, it gets a lot easier as retroarch is easy to play around with in game mode, where if you need to get into dolphin or something you have to go into desktop mode to make tweaks and it’s just a pain, imo. This is why we typically play older stuff or steam stuff. Steam stuff is easy because it just works.

It’s also super portable and I can bring the whole setup in a backpack and just requires a USB C laptop charger, my usb c dock and a HDMI cord.

Linux supports network accounts of all kinds.

They even have a guide for that! https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linux/install

Looks a lot like Immersed’s Visor glasses. Not sure which one is more likely to actually be released and actually meet expectations.

Yep. It’s gotta be hard to distinguish, because there are legitimately helpful and confidently correct people on reddit posts too. There’s value there, but they have to figure it out how to distinguish between good and shit takes.

This has been true for code you pull from posts on stackoverflow since forever. There are some good ideas, but they a. Aren’t exactly what you are trying to solve and b. Some of the ideas are incomplete or just bad and it is up to you to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Some of the recently reported ones have been traced back to Reddit shitposts. The hard thing they have to deal with is that the more authoritative you wrote your reddit comments, shitpost or not, the more upvotes you would get (at least that’s what I felt was happening to my writing over time as I used reddit). That dynamic would mean reddit is full of people who sound very very confident in the joke position they post about (and it then is compounded by the many upvotes)

Yep, that’s the one haha

Thanks for this. The one multiplayer game I’ve been consistently playing apparently got Linux anti cheat support enabled 2 months ago.

I think installing Linux on my gaming/work PC will be a winter holiday project for me 😀.

Now to pick a distro.

It’s not even for during game time, it’s during warmups. It affects nothing allowing whatever tape (or jerseys) they want.

Yeah, wouldn’t need that unless it was something more, I suppose. Either a super fancy controller or something else.

My money is on Steam Controller 2, but what do I know.

I think it’s visible on the controller settings menu. I also had to go looking for it. The sneaking thing is used so frequently that doing it by hand almost caused me to switch over to using my PC entirely.

Trying this out now. It’s awesome. Might have found a new doomscrolling default…

Is Feedly still a thing and okay? I remember it being the stopgap between Google Reader and Reddit, however I’m not sure where it lies on the “free version is good enough” vs “completely gimped free version and the real product is the paid one”

What is Reddit if not a glorified collection of RSS feeds with comments?

I went from Google Reader to Reddit. It scratched very much the same itch. I remember having quite the curated list of RSS feeds subscribed to. Still pissed that Google killed it.

Yeah, I agree. I want this game to be a success because of that stance. Such a breath of fresh air.

I guess the question is…can my life support going on a Baldurs Gate 3 binge right now, lol. Because that’s 95% for sure what will happen if I load it up on the deck.

How is the game on steamdeck otherwise? I’m debating if I should do what I never ever do and buy a game at full price…
