Pestilence , to gaming in What are you playing this week?

I’m playing Grim Dawn because i’m not a big fan of always-on in Diablo 4. So i’ve decided to give Grim Dawn a try and damn, i’m really loving it.

Sacah ,

It’s a great game, I’ve been recommending people spend their money on it over D4, for the same price they could get all the Grim Dawn dlcs and have a stack more content in my mind (-:

I just fired up a GD game with a friend last weekend. I forgot how to play since it’s been so long.

Necro/Occultist all day long. BoneZone and the boys causing havoc all around.

The1Morrigan , to nostupidquestions in Why do some people still have hope for Reddit?

Because Reddit is familiar and people like to stick with what they’re used to and comfortable with.

Also to everyone creating a community, it takes time. Don't get too discouraged if uptake is slow!

Yes, this can’t be stressed enough. Expect to be shouting into a void for 2-3 days. That’s the price of being an early adopter!

HidingCat ,

Might be weeks even, this sort of thing really can't be predicted at the very early stages.

Its not about how popular it is, its about having a space to talk to fellow like minded people.

There are about 5 years of my life on there, for some users 15+. Now, if you dropped your laptop with 15 years worth of memories on it, you damn sure would have hope you could still save the data, even if it's obviously done for.

juniper , to ukcasual in Monday morning musings

Morning everyone. It has indeed rained! Had a good heavy shower yesterday evening. Today is a day of housework and food shopping now that it’s a bit cooler. Starting the week in a relatively positive mood - hopefully that continues!

Desperately hoping my 16 month old has a nap so I can start my next book.

palarith , to nostupidquestions in Why do some people still have hope for Reddit?

I've being feeling that lately reddit had become full of repost bots and fake ads. Was there just because there was nowhere else to go

Emanresu ,

I feel a similar way. The quality just kept going down and down to the point where I couldn’t tell what was real or not. Most just weren’t worth reading either way. Lemmy seems the same way now too. People are focusing on making “content” instead of trying to make higher quality posts.

@briongloid@aussie.zone avatar

I’m trying to get into the habit of posting everyday, I fell out of it on reddit because it grew so big and would often go nowhere.

Mods rejecting posts willy-nilly, users who sit on /new thinking they can be the gatekeeper, shadowbanning of a post without being informed. It’s going to take some time to get used to posting more.

I make a content box and ration it out for good measure.

tsl , to linux in What's the longest you've stayed on a distribution?

I’ve settled on Ubuntu in 2008, but jumped between Gnome, KDE, Unity and LXDE. Then I got a Steam Deck last year and it became my main machine, so now I am not only with its Arch based OS, but I a secondary Arch SD card that I occasionally boot, if I need something not immediately available in SteamOS.

Servers? Debian Since 2019.

AFKBRBChocolate , to nostupidquestions in Why do some people still have hope for Reddit?

Reddit is like the restaurant you’ve been going to for several years that was a mom & pop operation with awesome food and atmosphere. It got popular, and the owners made it a chain, so you could get the same food in a lot of different areas. The quality started to go down as they expanded, but it was already very popular. Then the owners started raising the prices, and the atmosphere started to get way less awesome. At some point, you realized that it’s not the restaurant you fell in love with, and it wasn’t a good value anymore, so you started looking for a similar kind of restaurant that was more like that one was early on. But the chain is still really popular, and a lot of people just keep going because it’s what they’re familiar with and they know the menu - they don’t want to go to the work of finding a new place and they’re content with what they’re getting there. The people who have left are a drop in the bucket so far, and the chain restaurant is likely to continue operating for the foreseeable future.

Up at 4.15 trying to get tiny child to sleep. Then at 4.55 slightly larger child wakes up and refuses to go back to sleep. Downstairs at 5.00 watching Sarah and Duck (quack).

Two9A ,

Although Sarah and Duck is good at any time of day, it’s especially good in the quiet hours.

alecamar , to warframe in Why am i getting banned for using Alecaframe?

hey, AlecaFrame dev here.

As far as I know, nothing has changed from their update to the 3rd party policy they made last summer (…warframe.com/…/360030014351-Third-Party-Software…) It is definitively not a widespread issue, and no one I have heard of (out of >150K users) has been permanently banned. To me, it seems like their automated system is for some reason being too aggressive with some players, and they just prefer to manually unban people instead of making it less aggressive. Let me try to contact DE directly and see if we can get a more direct stance now that AF has grown quite a bit

**Update:**I asked DE for public clarification, and this is their response: i.imgur.com/07aCLNI.png

Even though they won’t publicly commit to saying “yes” to any third-party app, they have confirmed in their third-party policy (and again in this email) that Overwolf, which is the “risky part” (gathering the inventory data), is allowed and doesn’t break the ToS.

As they also state, any suspensions (which are extremely rare, <10 reports in over 170,000 users) that their automated system performs are not a reflection of the usage of AlecaFrame [source]. These, which again, are extremely uncommon, are probably a result of their automated system flagging Overwolf/the overlay as suspicious. As these suspensions are just a byproduct of a false positive and not a violation of their ToS, they are usually promptly removed by their support team.

During the year and a half that AlecaFrame has been out, I am proud to say that there have been 0 cases of any player getting permanently banned (with no recourse) due to AlecaFrame.

It is my first priority, and also the one for all the people involved in this (Overwolf) to make sure AlecaFrame is, and will always be, fully compliant with their ToS.
