  • I'm seeing this too, it's hard to tell if it's a Sync issue or defederated instances (Beehaw users?)

  • Matrix clients for decentralized messaging
  • Even if the messages are end to end encrypted I wouldn't trust a third party with that data (unless it was a company that does it for a living.)

    I'd probably recommend running your own instance, I imagine for that few users it would be pretty cheap. Though maintenance is probably the biggest issue there.

    Or just use a third party Matrix server but send client info over email using GPG keys. That would cost you nothing.

  • which linux distro do you NOT like, and why?
  • I'm not sure if I have bad luck but every time I've tried Ubuntu I've had stability issues. Constant crashes and things I've never run into in other distros.

    It makes it hard for me to recommend it to new users.

  • It costs $100 to unlock all of Street Fighter 6’s TMNT content
  • I'm not making a theory, my only theory is to not jump to conclusions and make assumptions. If that's defending Capcom then so be it.

    I'm angry about the Turtle costume prices too, I'm just not going to buy them.

    All I'm saying is we have to wait until we see the prices for the character alts to really grab the pitchforks. The first paid DLC is cross promotional, there isn't enough data to extrapolate from to assume that the character costumes will also be overpriced.

    And yes, I am saying that just because you work in the industry doesn't mean you should state something you can't possibly know without insider information as fact. Of course unless you secretly work at Capcom/Nickelodeon and don't wanna say publicly :)

  • It costs $100 to unlock all of Street Fighter 6’s TMNT content
  • You can make assumptions all you want but they're just that and you shouldn't be flaunting them as fact.

    The fact is we don't know the details of the agreement between Capcom and Nickelodeon. There are also Turtles action figures where they are dressed like Street Fighter characters so the promotion goes in both directions.

    For all we know these prices could have been set by Nickelodeon.

    I'm not defending Capcom as much as saying don't jump to conclusions without concrete evidence. I think these are extremely poorly priced but I'm still hopeful that the Outfit 3 DLC for the playable cast will be reasonably priced (I'll probably eat those words though, it's modern Capcom.)

  • Does anyone actually like the default GNOME workflow?
  • I love Gnome. But I have a pretty simple workflow where I don't use many applications. Generally I have a browser and terminal open and that's it.

    I do all my window management inside of Tmux, which is effectively my actual window manager.

    I've tried KDE in the past but I've never liked how it feels like a stepping stone for the Windows interface -- not a huge fan of pullout menus. I've been using Linux exclusively for almost twenty years so I don't have any love for that UX.

    I used to use a lot of simple/tiling window managers when I was younger and more patient, Gnome feels similar to those in how it has very few bells and whistles to get in your way.

    If only maintaining extensions was easier, it feels like every major release breaks every extension for something stupid like renaming a constant. The Gnome team seems to put very little consideration into making the JS extension API stable.

  • Twitter: Promotion of alternative social media platforms is now a violation of the TOS.
  • Didn't that end up being illegal for them to do or something so they had to go back on the rule?

  • TikTok Ban on Australian Government-Issued Phones Should Also Apply to Other Social Media Apps, experts say
  • I'm not sure why government employees can even use their work phones to install personal applications. Isn't the whole point of a work phone using it for work?

    I imagine that a bunch of these employees are just not buying a personal device and using their work provided ones as their main device (I see the same in the corporate world as well.)

  • DropKiwiFarms.net - A short compilation on the impact KiwiFarms has had on real people around the world
  • #DropKiwifarms works to end the relationship between far-right hate forum Kiwi Farms and the digital service providers that keep Kiwi Farms active online

    Is KF even far right? I was always under the impression it was just an extension of 4chan focused on gossip about minor e-celebrities.

    Not that I support Kiwi Farms, but I just find applying the "far right" label to everything offensive kind of loaded at this point.

  • What games have y'all been playing a lot on your deck recently?
  • I think that's fair. Though I do think fizzling out is kind of in the spirit of a proper Lovecraft horror.

  • What games have y'all been playing a lot on your deck recently?
  • I don't think it's that short if you factor in the completion aspect. Getting both endings took me 7 hours, and completing will probably be another 12 if I choose to go that route.

    For $25 I don't think it's that bad, but I'm pretty biased in preference of quality to quantity.

  • What games have y'all been playing a lot on your deck recently?
  • Been playing through Dredge this weekend, it's an awesome game for Deck. Very pick up and play

  • Steam Deck hits over 10,000 verified and playable games
  • While this is true, ProtonDB has even better numbers than Valve so it's still a win for the topic.

  • Are these numbers really true?
  • Tabs on mobile are really just a count of how many URLs you have opened without clearing your tabs.

  • what will happen if a Lemmy instance goes down?
  • I'm still pretty new but I believe federation works like syncing. You can see that at Beehaw, they defederated Lemmyworld so any communities from lemmyworld are still visible, but no longer updated.

    Edit: I should mention it's not exactly like syncing, because federation won't sync backwards in time (for example is A defederated from B for three days, when they refederate they will see new posts but not what they missed in those three days.)

    But if they stay federated then the copy should be mostly identical in terms of content.

  • It's still "fun", but
  • From Kbin you can subscribe to whatever sublemmies you're interested in as if they were magazines.

    You could also do the same in reverse from Beehaw/Lemmy.world, but KBin currently doesn't federate properly (due to Cloudflare DDoS protection.)

  • I've been trying to learn new characters and not just stick to my normal style.

    SF6 is really great, I'm pleasantly surprised after SF5 had me nearly quit fighting games during season 2.

  • An Extended Look at Armored Core 6
  • This looks super cool. I'm very excited to play it! Crazy to think it's only a few months away.

    I'm hoping it runs well on Steam Deck, seems like it'll be a great game to play from the couch.
