Kenny , to nostupidquestions in How did Lemmy.world become more popular than Lemmy.ml?

I‘d guess .world is more popular than .ml.

Didn't own one so I can't say it was my fav, but pretty much all the games I played on it smacked

@Stopkilling0@kbin.social avatar

Aparently (for rif anyways) it's because when you're logged out it doesn't use the oauth credentials. See response from the dev here https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/1/23781408/if-rif-is-still-working-for-you-when-youre-logged-out-heres-why

freeman , to fediverse in No confirmation mail to Outlook.com from fediverse.

Outlooks spam filters are aggressive and AI driven.

You can maybe try logging into security.Microsoft.com/quarantine.

For work emails we allow people to release certain messages in a self service fashion. Maybe Microsoft has done similar for outlook.com mailboxes?

Mail setups are per instance. Mine sends them directly and the fact that my instance runs ona VPS means it often get flagged based just on its IP block. Others use services like sendgrid for relay. You can configure gmail as a relay too but will probably just get your account flagged against the TOS

GooAphex OP ,

Thanks for your answer, guessed something like that. There doesn’t seem to be a way to get access to quarantined emails for personal outlook accounts which is a shame. There should be some kind of info on the sign up page that outlook emails might be blocked though.

delirium , to retrogaming in anyone here fancy themself some GameCube?

it was my first (after my Atari 2600) , and honestly best, console. I still have the games but I no longer have the console.

taurentipper ,

That's crazy! Why such a long gap? Just curious :)

delirium ,

I grew up pretty poor. I got most tech when it went on sale or was discontinued. so, I got my Atari when I was 11, in 1985. when I went to college in 1991, I played a friend's Sega and became obsessed with Sonic! by 1993, I was surrounded by computer nerds and had access to most consoles and just fell into PC gaming instead. Sam and Max. Day of the tentacle. Lemmings. Monkey Island. It wasn't until I realized I could play all the sonic games on GameCube that I even wanted a console.

nowadays, I live in a household with all the consoles, but they're not "mine" and I barely touch my PC.

Right there with ya! GameCube has always been my favorite. It also has the best iterations of Kart and Smash imo. I’ve recently been acquiring more GBA games to play on the adapter which is a fun time.

A tip for anyone who has the DOL-001 version with the digital output: you can easily get and adapter to HDMI, and there’s a company that now makes a USB-drive sized signal processor that does some upscaling and anti-aliasing. I’m now able to play on my 4k TV with a 1080p signal. Anyone feel free to DM me for the details!

I’m not saying a big old CRT isn’t still the best experience, but this lets me play on my main TV which is great for party games.

I’m curious what keeps you on IRC and stops you migrating to Matrix?

ellipse ,
@ellipse@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

I’m guessing it’s because IRC is proven, robust, simple, and has established communities. It’s also extensible and can be run on anonymous networks like i2p

Spzi , to nostupidquestions in Is Lemmy.ml instance blocked from Lemmy.world? And when will it federate again?

You can use this tool to check federation status in both directions: fba.ryona.agency

Thanks. Fyi. The search is case sensitive

cjerrington , to retrogaming in anyone here fancy themself some GameCube?
@cjerrington@kbin.social avatar

Still love the GameCube and games. This is what we introduced the kids too and it’s been fun watching them play the games that brought me a lot of fun too.

  • Mario Kart
  • Super smash brothers
  • Crazy Taxi

Could find the RCA connections on tvs now, but the Wii was great in the backward compatibility! Dolphin worked great for some games too, and a controller USB adapter and we’re in business!

Super Mario Sunshine was my childhood game pretty much. Still have my Gamecube but no TV/Monitor that wants to connect to it or display anything.

@GeekFTW@kbin.social avatar

Loved Sunshine. Got it for free from a Nintendo Power re-subscription promo (ya know, back when we got good things without having to fight for em tooth and nail lol).

taurentipper ,

I had a NP sub for a long time, I don't remember any free games. Maybe it came after because I had it during the NES/SNES era

hopefully the cost of running it is not so much and all users chip in to a degree to keep it going.

@mihnt@kbin.social avatar

windy.com is what use for radar. (There's an app for it too.)

@XGC75@kbin.social avatar

Windy is it. Great initial view of favorites for the quick check and beautiful visualizations, but man does it get deep if you want to double click.

For instance, a few weeks back I wanted to see why the sun looked orange and the sky was pale at ~3pm, so I pulled up the particulates map. I could see a 6hr moving map of particulates making their way from Alberta CA over to the skies to my west.

Also, they show a breakdown of all the major weather service providers' forecasts and detail which are better in which situations, helping you understand if that forecast you're planning on is really going to happen or it's just wishful thinking.

Oh, and you can set up alerts to notify you days ahead of time if conditions are right for activities, like if it's cool enough and good enough air quality to go for a run or if the wave swells will be high for surfing or what have you.

2dollarsim ,

You may as well. Proton on Steam is really effective and with GE I haven’t had a game be unplayable for a while. I don’t really care for modern loot box gambling simulator paid public alpha type games though, so YMMV.

CaptManiac ,
@CaptManiac@lemmy.world avatar

So, because Foza Horizon 5 was one of the first games to come out for the Steam Deck I bought it for my PC thinking it would run well. Turns out it won’t run with the current Linux Nvidia drivers and I had to get a refund.

2dollarsim ,

Laaaaaame. At least you managed to get a refund!

I take it you’re aware of protondb and tried the suggestions there? There’s a few people reporting recently that it works fine for them. Maybe recent updates have fixed issues
