I think the biggest cause of this on Lemmy is having duplicate communities on different servers. Inevitably one of them becomes the most active, and people kind of stop posting on the others.
Is there a way of merging the posts from one into another if the recipient gives permission? Most topics only really need one community.
Bold of you to assume this administration would allow them to vote.
That URL is https://github.com/FranchuFranchu/totally-normal-terminal-recording/raw/refs/heads/master/recording.ttyrec.gz for those who want to try themselves.
I think the terminal is 1 line taller than the video and that line is the bottom of the previous frame.
Anecdotally, I’ve had way more audio issues in Windows than I’ve had in Linux.
Linux audio setups don’t always work out-of-the-box, and sometimes require a bit more configuration, but once you get them set up the way you like, they stay that way.
Windows audio configuration is flaky as hell. It’s constantly changing with updates, and I’ve had so many issues with drivers just silently failing. It seems to have the most trouble with discrete sound cards and USB audio interfaces. I can’t tell you how many Discord and Teams calls I’ve had in Windows where the first 5 minutes is re-configuring audio settings that didn’t stick. This is basically a non-issue in my Linux setups.
macOS audio is probably the best combination of easy to configure and it works consistently. The biggest downside is that you need a lot of 3rd party software to do anything more advanced than setting a single device and volume for the entire system.
Note: I primarily use pipewire now. I used to have more problems back when I used pulseaudio.
Youtube is probably the most difficult platform on the internet to replace. Video content delivery is extremely resource heavy and technically complicated, especially once you start to scale. Many, many competitors have attempted it over the years, and while some found their niche, none of them have achieved anywhere close to the scale of Youtube.
It took decades of Youtube to become profitable, only doing so after achieving mind-boggling economy of scale. The majority of humans on earth have used Youtube. About half of all (global) internet users use it monthly. I don’t know if any other platform can claim stats like that.
Youtube is one of those platforms that only exists because it got a head start in the unique conditions of the early internet. I don’t know if it’s even possible to create a true competitor, though I could see multiple platforms taking over different niches.
It’s frustrating how often people need to be reminded of this. Nintendo has repeatedly shown incredible hostility to their greatest fans over the years, and they show no signs of stopping.
They’ve also done immeasurable harm to game preservation, to their own library and others. I cannot ever forgive them for this. Unless you play games in whatever specific way is blessed at the time, they will make every effort to sabotage it. Please do not enable this behavior.
Just get an emulator on PC / Steam Deck. The most likely reason Nintendo went so hard on Switch emulators last year is because they will be able to emulate Switch 2 games with little tweaking (probably just new keys / BIOS). They’ve confirmed it’s backwards compatible with Switch games, which strongly supports this hypothesis.
This is the real answer. Defaults are king. Most people don’t even bother to customize their settings on any platform, let alone change platforms.
Very few people go out of their way to install a different OS than the one a device came with. Many people don’t even realize you can.
You’re right. It’s part of a propaganda strategy to trick US media to “discuss” trivial things like this instead of focusing on the real harm the administration is doing.
It seems like that’s what they’re working on right now.
Except they did stop that shady practice, so your original boycott doesn’t make sense anymore.
This is a completely different issue of other companies trying to sell fraudulent Seagate drives used in crypto mining farms as new. They are responding by shutting down sales until they can root them out.
This is why actually reading the article is important instead of “brand I don’t like bad”.
Just leave poor people alone and public domain should start at the death of the author(s).
I generally agree, but it gets complicated with works that have many contributors, like a film. Does the costume designer own the rights to a movie more than a writer? A director? A stunt coordinator? Who among them gets to decide how that work can be used? A consensus among hundreds of people is very unlikely.
FOSS projects deal with this issue a lot when a project wants to change licensing for example, but they need every contributor’s approval, some of whom may be very difficult to reach.
Also, selling the rights to an IP can be a huge windfall for creators if it gets big enough and they’re okay with giving up control. This is especially common when the original creator wants to retire.
“Intellectual property” is a complicated concept, and I don’t know if a perfect system can exist. Though, it could easily be better for creators than it is now.
Same here. I encourage everyone to do the same, it takes like 20 seconds.
I know you’re complaining, but I think you just described a good chunk of the reasons why I like Lemmy and the fediverse in general.
No one here is important or official. There are no video game community managers or anything like that here. Lemmy is not used for interacting with anyone other than fellow idle nerds.
This is how Reddit was before it exploded in popularity and companies and celebrities started taking it seriously. I don’t know if Lemmy will ever get to that point, especially seeing how much abuse people will endure before they change platforms.
Other harmful side-effects aside, how much a game impacted you is significantly affected by the context of your life. Experiencing the same game at a different time in your life might not be as meaningful.
This is a great idea. While devs could circumvent this by just pushing small, meaningless updates to refresh the timer, truly abandoned projects would still be flagged.
as a starting point to learn about a new topic
No. I’ve used several models to “teach” me about subjects I already know a lot about, and they all frequently get many facts wrong. Why would I then trust it to teach me about something I don’t know about?
to look up a song when you can only remember a small section of lyrics
No, because traditional search engines do that just fine.
when you want to code a block of code that is simple but monotonous to code yourself
See this comment.
suggest plans for how to create simple sturctures/inventions
I guess I’ve never tried this.
Anything with a verifyable answer that youd ask on a forum can generally be answered by an llm, because theyre largely trained on forums and theres a decent section the training data included someone asking the question you are currently asking.
Kind of, but here’s the thing, it’s rarely faster than just using a good traditional search, especially if you know where to look and how to use advanced filtering features. Also, (and this is key) verifying the accuracy of an LLM’s answer requires about the same about of work as just not using an LLM in the first place, so I default to skipping the middle-man.
Lastly, I haven’t even touched on the privacy nightmare that these systems pose if you’re not running local models.
I think most self-hosted Git+CI/CD platforms have container registry as a feature, but I’m not aware of a service that is just a standalone registry.
