was trying to install qubes os on another usb drive. failed for the "no multiboot" thing. i am starting to suspect that this is a total waste of time...
Parce qu’elles ne sont pas forcément évidentes à retrouver sur le site web de la BnF, voici les liens vers les vidéos du dernier cycle de conférences de la #bibliothèque de l’Arsenal, « Éclats de papier », qui s'est tenu en 2023 :
Okay, here we go! Giving social media another try with #Mastodon since I started to miss the academic community that social media used to provide for me.
I'm Nele, a #linguistics postdoc at the University of Oslo, working on the language of fake news in English. I'm also affiliated with Lund University through my work on the London–Lund Corpus 2 and spoken language.
That's (mainly) what I'll be posting about. Here we go again!
"I am honored to be a banned book whenever it happens, because I look at the history of books that have been banned; the history of who bans them. I will never be on the side of the people who ban the books. I'm on the other side. I will always be on the side of the libraries." @neilhimself
For the future, it’s probably best to post to Lemmy communities from a Lemmy, kbin, or Friendica account; otherwise you risk the formatting of your message getting badly messed up, as it has here. It’s cool that you can post here from Mastodon but that doesn’t make it a good idea.
It would also have helped if you included some description with your link.
You can actually write posts from a Mastodon account that look well on Lemmy. All you have to do is follow a few basic rules.
Your post must include a line break. Everything above the break will be converted into the title of the post, everything below into the body.
Don’t put any hyperlinks into your title. That includes hashtags and @ mentions. See the original post for why
Keep your headline short. Lemmy has a character limit for the headline and if you exceed it your title might just end mid sentence
Put the @ mention of the community at the end of your post. It’s nothing but a technical necessity, so treat it as such and hide it away at the bottom of your post
If you follow these rules you can write posts from Mastodon
@catgirlfingies I really liked Silent Hill 3 and Fatal Frame. Hill 3’s spooky atmosphere and plot was great. I became a fan of the franchise immediately after I played it. As an aside: I was SO bummed when they cancelled Kojima’s Silent Hill project 😭.
Fatal Frame had a cool ghost-fighting mechanic. It was like Pokémon Snap but with higher stakes. Taking a good shot meant that you weren’t going to die fighting a particular ghost 😄.
And yes, I played lots of horror games back in the day of PS2. I don’t play a lot of them nowadays because I only have a Switch now as my main console, and I’ve been prioritizing first-party games (no horror there!). I did play Luigi’s Mansion 3; does that count? 😄
@yaitorr same here.was just taking a look.but have not played it,yet,as there are other games to be finished firtst,before deep diving into this.especially since there is a second part,coming next year.also SH2 is getting a remaster for ps,next year.did you like it,back in the day?
@elonjet people has to take cars for emission control every once in a while. Might be a good time to do the same for private jets, and charge an environmental tax. This is beyond any civilized environmental standard
I was thinking about getting a Steam Deck but I'm not entirely sure if it's better than my GTX 970. I'll have to do more research since there's no point in getting something that isn't an upgrade.
The official Valve dock has connectivity issues, but there are plenty of third party docks that are cheaper and work better.
Using the default system settings, I’ve never had any performance issues with it docked compared to handheld.
It’s important to note that unlike the Switch, docked mode does not improve performance. Trying to play a game at your TV’s native resolution most definitely will cause performance issues, but again, default system settings work perfectly.
Staring into your soul and testing user/community name collision
Someone raised an interesting question on Lemmy: what happens when a community and user have the same name, and someone tags that name from non-Lemmy software.
Although there are relatively few accounts on Mastodon that have follower numbers in the hundreds of thousands, it seems likely that if a well-curated BBC World News account was created, it would become one of them. And while that audience would be still be smaller than BBC's audience on other social media platforms, there are many folks here that aren't on the other sites.
@BBC_News_Labs@winstonsmith Please, please do! Right now, anyone who wants to get BBC news in their Mastodon feed has to follow bots, not an official account, and would happily follow official accounts. Not only that, when official accounts join, bot accounts try to transfer their followers over and post letting people know about official accounts (that’s what happened when Ars Technica made an official Mastodon account).
At least one news account would give you a lot more real interaction.
