EAC Seems broken on Arch?

I recently installed BattleBit Remastered on Steam (uses EAC). Upon trying to run the game, I only get as far as a screen telling me to ensure EAC is installed. I tried their “repair EAC” option in steam, and there was no change (a terminal opens, blinks, and closes again). I tried a system update to see if that would help,...

Summary first - I’m looking for software to use for web-controlled music playback. Main requirement is playback via a DAC on the hosting device and a half-decent UI for it (though streaming would be nice…)....

I'm impressed by beehaw

I started moving from Reddit to Lemmy a few days ago, and since then I’ve been forcing myself to spend time here and getting myself used to it. I quickly checked the list of popular instances and decided to join lemmy.world and not beehaw because I didn’t like their decision of defederating other big lemmy instances....

Is there/will there be a Federated version of most social media?

Mostly the title, but it would be nice to have more options now that Reddit and Twitter have alternatives. I would love to see a YouTube and ticktock version. Maybe even an instagram as well.

Is this the official r/piracy now, will the megathread be updated for this?

A lot has happened since the reddit protests and the actual subreddit is completely unusable now. What will happen to the mods that were originally updating the megathread, because that thing is literally my life at this point and with increasing actions being taken by corporates to stop piracy, how long do we have on the...

Should my wife tell her Dad that she's not his daughter?

My wife found out Saturday through an ancestry.com DNA test that her dad is not her actual biological father. Her mother had a supposed one time incident with a man she found on Facebook through the names on the ancestry test. Her parents separated when she was 6. She wasn’t close with her dad over the years, but there was...

Anyone into dreams?

I moved here from reddit but I figure it will be awhile before my niche communities come back up. Anyone here into lucid dreaming or dreams in general?...

Skyrim gog or steam version

Hello! So I saw that skyrim is discounted on gog right now and I was wondering if the anniversary edition on gog would be good for modding. I read somewhere that the gog version isn’t compatible with dll SKSE mods. Is it worth getting on gog or should I wait for steam to discount it?

[Help] Tuning CPU Settings to Sip Electricity Using Linux

I am wondering what can be done in Linux to reduce CPU power consumption. In Windows, I’m familiar with setting and testing power limits and undervolting using Throttlestop (amazing tool), but to my knowledge no such tool (command line or otherwise) exists for Linux....

Hosting Lemmy in Azure—best approach

Hi—I have some free Azure credits and would like to use them to host a personal Lemmy instance. I know Lemmy is containerised, but is there a preferred choice for hosting in Azure—AKS, Azure Container Apps, Container Instances? Also, any guidance on appropriate PostgreSQL configuration—I know there are some options around...

Remember Tales From The Music School, that miniseries from the reddit? That was me and here's a new one. No transphobia this time, fortunately.

In addition to teaching lots of private lessons and directing three teenage performance groups, I also direct an adult band, which currently has eight people between about 30 and 70 in it. I’m 28 and my codirector is in his 30s, but this week, he was out, so the school owner guy, who’s in his 40s, subbed for him, making me...
