goodbye Joey for reddit
  • Damn, used that app for so many years. By far my favorite.

  • Connect 1.0.44 Released
  • Awesome thanks for the info. Cheers!

  • Connect 1.0.44 Released
  • Awesome stuff! Just started using connect and am enjoying it. Great work!

    Is it intended to not have a downvote option on swipe actions? Thanks!

  • Why we need to move on from kbin.social
  • Theres already a github issues submitted.

    Hopefully its resolved soon, I really want to like pixelfed.

  • Why we need to move on from kbin.social
  • On my home feed on Pixelfed.social. I would expect posts with followed tags to show up under my home feed unless that is not intended.

  • Why we need to move on from kbin.social
  • Man my only issue with pixelfed is followed tags aren't showing up on my feed. There a issue already submitted, so hopefully it's resolved soon!

  • Anyone else use their crappy old laptops to host servers? lol
  • yeah that's nice. Though I've read that it's a good idea to bypass the battery due to the device being on more it could cause the battery damage?

  • How do you feel about bots automatically reposting content from Reddit onto Lemmy?
  • undefined> One of things I like about Lemmy is that you can create a link post and still include text and subsequent links.

    yeah that I really like as well. I can like an image that provides content to the community, but also still talk in the op rather than having to say "more info in comments" or something stupid like that.

  • Huge fan of this iteration of my rig

    Just added the tablet live dashboard to my ever-changing sim racing rig.

    I really like the way it turned out. It's just an old Galaxy Tab4 attached to the desk with a car mount. Running SimHub and Simhub Android app.

    It allowed me to stop using RaceLabs Advanced Panel Overlay which I was looking to do. Plus it looks neat.

    Some info about the rig for anyone who cares...

    3 random 24in curved monitors. 75hz, 144hz, 75hz mounted to a desk via monitor arms.

    The next thing I'm looking to upgrade to is a better triple monitor mount. My current setup allows for too much sagging.

    Cheers!

    How do you feel about bots automatically reposting content from Reddit onto Lemmy?
  • Not a huge fan, but I understand the thinking.

    My issue with it, is let's say there's a self post and I respond to it. Knowing it's a bot post, I still want to contribute to the community, but I know I'm unlikely to get a response. It's possible it could start a conversation here though.

    I get its a way to fill the communities with content, but it feels like a half baked attempt. Or an inflation of interactions.

    Not sure the right route in these early days though.

  • 2022 Polestar 2: Five Things I Like and Five Things I Don't Like

    blog.elegast.me 2022 Polestar 2: Five Things I like and Five Things I Don't Like

    The Polestar 2 is an all electric vehicle with a fast back design that provides a highly competitive list of specs.

    2022 Polestar 2: Five Things I like and Five Things I Don't Like

    2022 Polestar 2 Specs

    > Base price: $58,400 including destination > Powertrain: 78 kWh lithium-ion battery | dual permanently synchronous electric motors | 1-speed transmission | all-wheel drive > Horsepower: 408 > Torque: 487 lb-ft > Seating capacity: 5 > Ground clearance front: 151 mm (5.9 inches) / 146 mm (5.7 inches) with the > Performance package > Ground clearance rear: 167 mm (6.9 inches) / 161 mm (6.3 inches) with the > Performance package > Range: 249 miles (EPA)

    Quick take: The Polestar 2 provides a great driver oriented experience while being a quality daily. The competitive range will get you where you need on one charge. Although some interior design choices may leave you guessing and interior space may be an issue for larger owners, the performance and driving dynamics satisfy on all fronts.

    Update 2.9 Has Been Pretty Great

    I've been rocking OTA 2.9 on my Polestar 2 for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it's been an impressive update.

    One of the standout features for me has been the improved efficiency app. It's a fantastic addition that I've been enjoying watching the graph change based on my driving and the road.

    There was a poll a while back about Pilot Assist holding too far to the right or left. It was interesting to see mixed responses. Some folks agreed while others claimed they hadn't experienced the issue at all.

    I was one of the unlucky ones who experienced a problem on a particular stretch of highway where Pilot Assist would uncomfortably stick to the right side of the lane. However, with update 2.9, I haven't encountered this problem again on the same stretch of road. It's worth noting that there haven't been any documented changes to how Pilot Assist functions, nor any modifications to the road (like repainting the lane markings, for instance).

    All in all, I believe the 2.9 update is a significant step in the right direction for the Polestar 2. It's great to see the company actively working on improving the driving experience. Kudos to the development team!

    Is 0.18 coming as is, or will a modified version be implemented on lemm.ee?
  • Came here for that info. Thanks for keeping us updated.

  • Anyone else use their crappy old laptops to host servers? lol
  • yep!

    I used to run an old Dell R610. Used a decent amount of power.

    Switched to an old 4th gen quadcore i7 laptop.

    Been running great, uses less power, has a built in display and keyboard.

    Linux base, Docker Env for most everything else.

  • Thought these cars turned out neat

    Cthulhu, wears an ugly sweater
  • Cthulhu, the cosmic horror, received an unexpected gift from his grandmother, Shub'Niggurath—an ugly sweater.

    Despite its clash with his terrifying image, Cthulhu embraced the garment, finding it a symbol of familial love.

    As he wore the sweater, whispers spread, making him an enigmatic figure. The paradox intrigued cosmic beings, and Cthulhu's presence became associated with both terror and the power of love.

    • Use guard dogs to deter intruders.
    • Keep heavy furniture near entrances as barricades.

    Found the Moon image from somewhere(sorry forget source) and thought it would be a good candidate to mess around with Inpainting/Outpainting.

    Turned out pretty neat!

    blog.elegast.me Competitive Options For Assetto Corsa

    Assetto Corsa is a popular racing game with a modding community. Options for competitive racing include World Sim Series, United Racing Data, RSRLiveTiming, SetupsAndTimes, Sim Racing System. Each offers unique experience.

    Competitive Options For Assetto Corsa

    My obsession with sim racing has grown significantly, and I've thoroughly enjoyed pushing my limits to enhance my skills. I wanted to keep track of my progress and potentially participate in competitive events in Assetto Corsa.

    Fortunately, I stumbled upon some fantastic options for competitive racing.

    One of my personal favorites is the World Sim Series (WSS), which boasts a user-friendly web interface and offers a wide range of racing opportunities.

    Another exceptional choice is United Racing Data (URD), a comprehensive platform that caters to all your racing needs.

    For thrilling live hot lap competitions, I highly recommend checking out SetupsAndTimes and RSRLiveTiming.

    To experience a more realistic racing atmosphere, Sim Racing System (SRS) organizes races where participants are required to register using their legal names, ensuring fair competition.

    If you're interested in learning more, I've provided additional details about each of these options.

    Are there any other platforms you use that I haven't mentioned?

    Two ghostly figures emerged in the heart of Kyoto's rain-soaked streets, their silhouettes gliding silently through the mist. Whispers of a timeless love story echoed as they walked hand in ethereal hand, rekindling memories of a bygone era. Raindrops danced around them as if celebrating the eternal bond transcending life and death.
