Lemmy is a far better platform for discussions than Discourse in my opinion. The tree like sub-reply threads in each post (the Reddit concept) is preferable over a single thread of replies. You don’t need to cross quote and for readers no need to read the quote to see who and to what the reply is about. I don’t like Discourse discussion platforms at all.

However, Discourse has a few features that fits well for a discussion platform. I like the tags and Trust system of it.

I remember MNG and never understood why APNG wasn’t officially recognized. I didn’t know it was widely supported already. Why do people still create and use GIF in the internet, if there is a superior format?

I just lost 100% on Steam, because I already have the game in my library and could not claim it for savings.

I love what hobbyist are doing with these custom hardware builds. On the picture the form somehow reminds me back to the Dreamcast controller from 2000, if someone remembers. It did not have trackpad, but the form looked similar uncomfortable. But it felt great in the hands. And knowing how great the Deck in the hands feel, I am sure his creation would be very nice to hold. It’s just the image does not imply this for me.

Very impressive he build his own trackpads, that fit the specifications of the Deck. There are no ready to use Deck trackpads one can buy at all! The entire thing is published as Open Source project to build your own. I cannot. Maybe a company takes this and makes a product to sell. I would totally buy a good and functioning one for a premium price.

But I predict Valve will 1 year before the Steam Deck 2 hopefully release an official Steam Controller 2. A man can only dream (unless you are talented like that guy)…

The first thing that comes to my mind is, it might be a scam. Confirm the mail is from Github. Can’t help otherwise, but this is what I think first.

This is how you challenge actual pirates and grow your real enemy, while you punish innocent civilians. Pirates will pirate, regardless of what Nintendo says, wants or does. The real losers are loyal customers who pay lot of money.

Oh now this looks so obvious! Thank you and it works. Man Python might has its shortcomings, but it can be so elegant and easy to do so complex stuff in short time.

Just as a side note, after I created this topic, was curious to ask a local programming LLM Ai model. I usually don’t use Ai, but was curious to if it could help here finding the solution. I provided the entire post and it gave me the correct answer, basically the same as yours. Just a curiosity.

What negotiation? I have a hard time to follow what you mean. Which operating system does turn off when shutting down? If it does not, then either its configured to do so (or not to) or there is an issue that needs to be handled and resolved. You don’t want your PC turn off immediately, so it can do stuff that is needed (such as wait for all drives to write the data) or remove temporary files and unmount drives and so on. Otherwise an instant turn off is equivalent to a crash (including all background services and running applications, losing data, corrupting drives…).

Your data in the cloud should be at best being another backup, in addition to your local backup you do regularly. And even that is a stretch, because those companies can analyze your data on the cloud too. Man, people have so much trust in companies like Microsoft.

Controller required

This game does not include support for mouse and keyboard controls. A controller is required.

Good point, I certainty didn’t think of this issue.

That really hurts. I lost so many save files back then from cartridges where battery dies (or cart was sold) and from memory card corruption or other problems on the Playstation. Even today I lost save files because of HD problems (Steam games without Cloud Save or Emulator saves which I did not backup).

But nothing compares to a save file with thousand of hours and 20 years of managing it. Man, reading this I feel so sorry and sad for this person. Thanks Nintendo. That happens if you don’t let people access save files directly and let them backup at least offline.

Mel Brooks is set to reprise his role as Yogurt in an already-confirmed sequel to Spaceballs.

At least there are no micro transactions and the port is solid too. But agreed, the game prices are insane. I’ll wait too.

This game will always held a special place in my heart (together with Dune 2 and its remake on the PSX). I played the original Playstation game back then in the 90s. Congratz on everyone worked on this project to make this happen. I am not the biggest fan of web browser games, but man, this one already won my heart.

Just tried it under Firefox and it worked perfectly fine (only couple of minutes tried). I didn’t even had to add exceptions to my uMatrix blocker. Very nice!

The COSMOS collaboration has worked tirelessly for the past two years to convert raw data into broadly usable images and catalogs. In creating these products and releasing them, the researchers hope that even undergraduate astronomers could dig into the material and learn something new.

“Because the best science is really done when everyone thinks about the same data set differently,” Casey said. “It’s not just for one group of people to figure out the mysteries.”

What I love about science is, it brings everyone together. It does not matter where you are in the world, if the nations are fighting against each other. When it comes to science, everyone works together.

Don’t tell me how to argue and how i feel about it. Not everything is white and black. There is grey and color in between.

As long as this is optional and can be turned off, I think there are bigger problems right now. Its not optimal off course and it would be better to opt-in. At least there is the option to turn it off.

10 years from now, we get retrospective documentary on other video platforms about the downfall of Google.

Its only one day, not even a week. But otherwise, yeah, this is pretty much a typical console release day. :D
