Many people have purposefully moved away from Big Tech platforms, often because they cause them harm. Who are you to judge their defederation - which is a core feature of the Fediverse btw - as laughable? Every instance is free to decide their own policies, that’s the whole point.

More money for the death-machine and profits for the shareholders, hurray!

I don’t have nor do I want shares in the arms industry. I’m not a fucking ghoul.

I’m afraid it’s mostly that last one.

Does steam ui restart in the background while playing games for anybody else?

First off I’m on wayland with Nvidia and I know that’s a cardinal sin but I still wanted to see if anyone else is having the same problem. Simply, steam ui seems to crash or go unresponsive or something in the background while I’m playing games and then it relaunches itself and takes focus from the running game without...

I have similar issues running Gnome on AMD.

I think you’ll find that the conflict is quite a bit older than Hamas is.

Really goes for almost everything. I don’t want my machines and appliances to be ‘smart’ and ‘connected’. I just want them to do the thing I use them for, that’s it.

It’s main purpose is to make some die-hards angry, I think.

One of my cats snores a lot and loudly, but it’s also very cute.

What are some game genres / styles you like that aren't being made anymore, or are being mde but not very often?

For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.

Are those still playable? Loved those, great vibe!

Seems like the right approach to start their own server, instead of making accounts on some of the flagship instances, which only perpetuates the centralisation dogma.

Mysteriarch ,
@Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net avatar

No of course not everyone or every organisation has the means for that. But those that have should, and others should fan out over different instances: local or regional ones, or thematic ones, instead of congregating on the same three instances because it’s ‘the main one’.

Played Dredge on the Steam Deck, which was a nice, relaxing experience.

Besides that I’ve been playing Blood: Fresh Supply on my beefy gaming pc. Great fun, much glee when blowing up hordes of cultists.

Hamburg: Climate activists let air out of tyres of 33 cars (mainly SUVs!) again (www.ndr.de)

From the article: *Large SUVs were particularly affected. According to the police, notes were attached to the cars indicating that they were harmful to the climate. The tyres were not punctured, but merely deflated. The cars were parked in the area between the S-Bahn line and Elbchaussee around Kanzleistraße. *...

No form of protest is acceptable to liberals (let alone conservatives). When you peacefully protest, no one pays attention, when you damage private property, everybody screams, when you are disruptive while not damaging said private property, you’re still a dick. So who cares, keep on going.

Mysteriarch ,
@Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net avatar

These type of actions do have an effect in SUV sales though.

Mysteriarch ,
@Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net avatar

I’m pretty sure that Hamburg isn’t such an area, and that SUV’s are a totally unecessery folly there. This isn’t hurting working class families. (Also, people like you do have power, organize)

Three years completely on Linux, because I botched my dual boot and decided to try without the Windows partition and… never had to install it again! Happy user!

Been playing Assassin’s Creed Odessey lately. It’s fun and big, but I think, ultimately, Origins was a better game. There was a lot more cultural diversity present and they changed some mechanics for the worse imho. But it’s kinda cool how smooth it runs on my Linux machine!

I didn’t even know it had released yet. And at my job they’re still using 10.

Awesome!

@Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net avatar

Yes, exactly like here! But you know, let’s make it centralized and maybe closed-source, that’ll teach those corporate overlords! /s

Mysteriarch ,
@Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net avatar

Even better would be if they spread out over more instances instead ofself-centralising on a few ‘flagship’ instances. But no judgement, it’s understandable; just keep in mind you can always move to another and connect with the same communities!

Mysteriarch ,
@Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net avatar

Just check join-lemmy.org/instances and see if there’s an instance that speaks to you. It’s theme (or lack thereof), politics, location, size, who it does or doesn’t federate with, etc. But like I said, no pressure, it’s normal to have to find your footing first.

Mysteriarch ,
@Mysteriarch@slrpnk.net avatar

There’s a whole bunch of smaller (indie) games in my cart right now. I’ll have to check each of them out a bit better and see if they’ll run on Linux and probably throw half of them out.

I am curious about Dredge though.
