Yuzu is an interesting idea, I haven’t thought of that, but last I checked a few months ago, it was still not working, and I heard using wine to run the windows version can get you banned so I never tested it.
On my steam deck I’ve been using Xbox cloud gaming (free if you’re willing to wait) or Amazon Luna (if you have prime), and they work decently well, much better than “not running at all”.
what? the benefit is clearly adding a whole day to rest, if you’re fried after 8 hours, the additional 2 isn’t going to feel better worse, but you’ll gain a whole day to rest. I always am tired on days where I work over 8 hours, but so happy I get another full day off.
I can see it in liftoff and lemmy.world mobile site, so could be a Jerboa problem
Exactly this, it sucks but it’s a chicken and the egg problem, platform needs people to make content, but you need content for people to join
I’m not sure if it was as much of that and more so people who didn’t wanna go to another instance were complaining about how they essentially locked that name just because they throught the reddit android mods should be the true successors and some were very against the idea of just giving control to ex reddit mods. I didn’t notice it took off again either but people were really calling on the admins to replace them
I wonder if that’s the point, I mean it probably is abit much to be the biggest name and have a lot of people attempting to join. That was the whole goal was small narrow focus instances, so by intentionally provoking members that tend to be more techy and understand how to change instances, they’re pushing them to help grow other instances and help limit flow into lemmy.world.
Or not, I wonder if soon it’ll make sense if instances become more democratic and allow member voting (that have been apart of the server for some time) for decisions like this, people will be mad either way (especially with only two options of fed or defed) but letting it be clear that the people are ok with it.
With federation, the content is shared between servers, that’s the act of federation. It downloads the posts from the other instance. So it would then be stored on lemmy.world, the only way to stop that is to defederate. The mobile apps mostly solve this problem as you can view content from lemmy.world and choose to add other instances, but the browser version isn’t setup to work that way, so it’s less than perfect, but it’s supposed to be easy for this content to exist all on its own and only show to other users in a single place when they want that. So if the admin team is afraid the largest community on a small and growing platform won’t have the means to fight a legal battle no matter if it is legal or not (I’ve been hearing a lot of legals), I get their reaction. hell reddit could easily target and crush Lemmy.world in court if they wanted to kill the platform. It isn’t much work as unfortunate as it is to go to that instance for that content
I think it’ll be tough to find that corner of it… I think I saw a conservative community on lemmy.world but the platforms original purpose was to get away from the big, controlling, capitalist social media platforms the likes of Twitter, Instagram, reddit, etc. Like mastodon, the largest part of the fediverse (I’m pretty sure), grew alot when twitter was brought by Elon, and more moved after he messed up the platform enough, saying they’ll create their own platform where hate won’t be allowed. It’s kinda against it’s nature to have much conservative-ness.
Not trying to be rude as based on how this sounds, you seem nice enough and not crazy, but places like mastodon are basically the left’s version of “Truth social” where people are pretty ok with saying “I don’t want those thoughts spread here” those thoughts they don’t want are usually things like homophobia or transphobia, but those are fairly common on the right even if you don’t share them.
It’s an interesting thought and would probably be alittle healthier, but hey you’re still here being able to provide that counter point of view
If you got any programming skills, Lemmy’s code is open source and improvements to these expensive calls (or just any call) would most likely help the server. I’m also sure moderation tools would probably make their job easier and just improvements to the platform as a whole would probably help (more users, more possible donations, especially if it gets closer to platforms like reddit)
But without any technical skills like that, probably just helping communicate stuff like this, like if someone’s complaining, explaining this, is probably the best you can do (and it ain’t much)
I know it feels like its that often, but its actually still in the upper 90s atleast according to the status site, and its 89% for the last week on an external status page (which probably sees its up by attempting to load the page so its probably close to real life data)
I agree, we can just let it be a free for all but maybe someday we’ll do around events or something, so there are themes for everyone to try following (like around Christmas, the Linux community does a penguin with a Santa hat)
I’m surprised I haven’t heard more of this (makes me think its impossible), but I feel like the ideal world is buying big tech’s hardware and overriding its firmware/software to talk to home assistance locally. I saw a post recently about someone making an google nest speaker work with home assistance and they really just made their own speaker and shoved it in a nest mini body. I like the hardware I have, I just wish I had more control over it, and sadly I don’t know nearly enough to mess with firmware myself.
I know you dissed cloud gaming, but Xbox cloud gaming has actually worked fairly well for me personally on my steam deck, and for the most part (after some config), runs nearly as good as inhome streaming, which 99% of the time I can’t even tell isn’t running on device. I’ve also messed with Nvidia gforcenow and Amazon luma and those could fill a pretty big Linux compatibility gap if I solely gamed on Linux (probably using a controller or steam deck due to xcloud gaming not supporting mouse or keyboard input yet but it’s progress). I even figured some interesting things you can do with steam regarding that, in addition to Microsoft’s instructions on adding xcloud gaming to steam deck, like setting up different launch options to handle different users under different Microsoft accounts, directly linking a game (having a non steam game called Fortnite with a custom icon that launches xcloud gaming 's url for that game and boots right into it) and some others to make it more enjoyable but just like everything on Linux you gotta tinker with it. The “no native gamepass” is a big deal to me lately, it’s actually a pretty nice service and I remember seeing posts a few years ago talking about windows store format version of proton which would allow gamepass to run natively on Linux but I think we’re still awhile form that happening.
A big one for me and the main reason I haven’t started using Linux full time, and I’m sure it’s in your points but not called out directly but anti cheat support is terrible on Linux. I own a steam deck and I used to play Fortnite with my wife and her brothers and it can technically run it (it worked on windows and install), and even if you use proton to run the windows version, I’ve heard their anticheat can straight up ban you because “Linux isn’t a supported os at this time”. It’s not that their anticheat doesn’t work on Linux or is missing a proton extension, but solely epic doesn’t want to so they aren’t supporting it. This is fairly common with big multiplayer games, like Fortnite, halo, call of duty, battlefield, and alot of others. It’s a pain since proton is built as a “use at your own risk, may not work 100% but it works atleast” and some companies actively refuse to allow that. The only way I’ve been able to play any of those games is by either cloud gaming or in home streaming which isn’t available sometimes. So until Linux doesn’t have that limitation in gaming, where alot of major triple A titles actively refuse to work solely cause it’s Linux, I can’t switch my personal PC to Linux as I already got my steam deck for Linux gaming, and my windows desktop as a backup.
You have to remember that until recently, there was sub 100 daily users, this wasn’t a big platform, and it wasn’t just lemmy.ml, but a bunch of <10 user instances.
It wasn’t worth paying for a small side project until it wasn’t and at that point it was too late, plus who would have predicted that the gov of Mali would forcefully take back all of their domains?
No in some cases, they pay you to use power in an attempt to keep the frequency stable. it takes time to ramp up or down power generation so the time where there’s almost too much power, the rate goes negative to attempt to level it out
It’s mainly happening during mid day where people aren’t home and using power and when solar is at its peak
Oh shit, these aren’t real pictures? That’s crazy, I remember like a year ago where human faces looked all messed up… I can’t even notice any parts that look incorrect anymore
Good points, I’ll mainly respond to your last line. Isn’t that the whole point of the fediverse? Does it make sense for platforms to keep to themselves instead? Mastodon only to mastodon, Lemmy to Lemmy, kbin to kbin? You could probably make exceptions for some platforms since kbin has parts of mastodon and Lemmy in it, so maybe it can talk to both, but I mean that would solve a lot of these questions, only allow federation to similar software. I feel like it defeats the point of the fediverse and would hurt other things like pixelfeed or peertube as I only really see those posts on my mastodon feed, but to be fair, it is pretty confusing trying to figure out what posts from what platforms will show, like when I see a peertube post on mastodon, I assume it’s like a tweet linking to the video, not the ACTUAL video.
I think the cat is out of the bag already with doing it that way, with the fediverse existing as different open source apps commonly used together but separately rather than an interconnected mess of posts we’re kinda working our way towards. But it would be an interesting and, dare I say, almost better way to handle this, as thread is its own type of server, if it was made Public, it WOULDN’T be Mastodon, so why would anyone assume thread posts should show up together.
Basically I agree with your last line, that leaving them seperate may be better, even if it’s alittle counter to what the fediverse is
You know, that’s actually a good point. Alot of others are solely saying “well it’s meta, so no!” But that argument makes a lot of sense, especially with the beehaw comparison, I was annoyed with that because while I understood parts of their argument, doing moves like that just feels like people trying to gatekeep the fediverse, but it would have been much easier if it started disconnected. For that reason alone, I’d be ok with starting defederated and possibly reconnecting later, but that way the band-aid never needs to get ripped off when it turns out thread will be worse than people like me hope.
Tbh though, I know people are flipping out here demanding it be defederated today, but the moment the federated posts start to flood in (I mean thread is huge in comparison to the fediverse), it’s going to get turned off probably right away until things can adjust and they figure out a plan. I’m not 100% sure how federation works on the server side, but I remember kbin not being able to federate due to intense server load, I wouldn’t be surprised if lemmy.world struggles HARD the first few days after all of the thread posts start flooding in, if they even come to Lemmy (rather than just Mastodon like they talked about)
People forget projects like this are done for fun. They put a lot of polish and organize it well enough that it looks professional, but just like this, it can be a single dev working on it on their free time. its super easy to create a project, get busy, and just fall off. They’re allowed to do that, plus while there’s always more stuff to do, even the existence of this app is already impressive, so I thank them for the work, and until I decide to start coding during my free time instead of playing video games or watching TV, I try not to be disappointed when a project slows or even dies.
I hope the original dev is doing good, I thank them for their work, and congratulations on the twins, hope everything is going well for them, and hope they only come back when they feel ready, not when they feel forced to
