@games What demos did you play today? | DAY 3

Greetings, flaming fellas of the Fediverse, we are halfway through , but that's no reason to be idle, for surprises at every corner and every genre awaits

NotSteve_ ,

I’ve been playing Enotria: The Last Song. So far seems like a solid souls like but it has wicked performance issues right now. I’m really digging the vibe of the main demo city but I’m barely hitting 40fps on low settings with an RTX 3070ti

NotSteve_ ,

I thought it was dumb too but, to be honest, I kind of prefer using “main” now. It’s quicker to type lol

Deaths mount and water rationed as India faces record heat | Reports of heat-related illnesses and deaths have surged across the country as daytime highs hover around 120°F and nights remain over 90°F (wapo.st)

India’s heat waves are attributed to a combination of short-term weather patterns and long-term warming trends fueled by human-caused climate change. Residents in India’s sprawling capital are often particularly affected, because dense buildings, roads, cars and air conditioners contribute to urban heat, experts say.

NotSteve_ ,

120f = 49C

90f = 32C

That’s crazy heat. Can’t imagine what basically 50C feels like

NotSteve_ ,

Yeah I noticed that. This is the second day in a row I’ve seen a post like this

NotSteve_ ,

I’d agree weed is the healthier choice but I don’t think it’s fair to say it doesn’t affect the day to day. I used to smoke everyday and it really messed with my short term memory and sleep.

NotSteve_ ,

Both. For a couple years it was definitely all day but through college it was just in the evenings. The mental effects were a lot worse when it was all day but I noticed it still when it was just evenings.

NotSteve_ ,

I think it depends on the workplace. I usually take around 4-5 weeks off a year but my manager is chill. I could see a bad manager rejecting most of your vacation time

NotSteve_ ,

I just want a small phone again. Wish they’d bring back the Minis

NotSteve_ ,

Axing the (carbon) Tax will surely help

NotSteve_ ,

I used Memmy up until development stopped and now use Voyager. It feels the most like Apollo did so it’s got my vote for best app

NotSteve_ ,

I genuinely can’t tell if this is satire or not

NotSteve_ ,

From what I remember, Canada did implement a digital nomad program aimed at tech workers at the start of the Trump presidency. I’m not sure how successful it was though

NotSteve_ ,

Yeah, fair. I haven’t met a single American tech worker here 😅

NotSteve_ ,

I remember having to reverse engineer an API owned by my own company because our team was too far removed from theirs. The whole situation was crazy

NotSteve_ ,

$500 would be an insane price. 16TB drives alone are like $300-500 CAD

NotSteve_ ,

I think it’s because horror’s a fairly easy genre to get into. It’s the same reason there’s a lot of indie horror movies I’d imagine

NotSteve_ ,

Haha I guess it’s also an easy tag to apply to nearly anything. Slightly dark theme? Horror. Mildly upsetting? Horror. Involves a monster of some kind? Also horror.

NotSteve_ ,

I’d love skylines 2 if I could just play it above 30fps on low graphics. I know I’d get a higher performance if I wasn’t playing it in Proton, but still. I have an RX 5700xt, it shouldn’t be this bad

NotSteve_ ,

Side question, but would ancient Romans be able to decipher a modern day language from one book? I’d imagine a language with Latin based words might be easy enough but not sure how equipped they were.

I miss /r/AskHistorians

NotSteve_ ,

Oh yeah, for sure as an answer to the OP question, but I’m still curious about their decyphering ability

NotSteve_ ,

Are there any plans for enabling a global menu like Unity had or if writing an extension for one is possible? I miss it every day 😅.

It’s looking great though! I’m very hyped to try it

NotSteve_ ,

Please visit my farm in FarmVille!

NotSteve_ ,

I used it recently to update the creation date of a bunch of notes. Just wanted them to display in the correct order in Obsidian. Besides that though, always just used it for file creation lol

NotSteve_ ,

Agreed. Also a good time to buy it. Act 3 was so buggy on release but they’ve been shooting out patches non stop for the last year almost

NotSteve_ ,

It is in Canada too but that doesn’t seem to stop companies from using the term

There’s no legal tender but also if legal tender is refused it’s free 🥴

NotSteve_ ,

It is weird. The left leaning Canadian subreddit (r/onguardforthee) is generally pro Palestine but my city’s subreddit is generally pro Israel. I’ve been watching my city’s subreddit move right politically quite quickly.

Something I’ve noticed is that reddit as a whole seems to have gotten a lot more right wing since the whole API stuff. I’m not sure if it’s actually because of users leaving, or if moderation took a huge hit and it’s kind of snow balling into hateful commenting becoming normal.

NotSteve_ ,

You’d think so, but my city’s subreddit used to advocate for transit, better support for the homeless, healthcare etc and generally be very left leaning. They still are some of the time, but I’ve started seeing a lot of upvoted comments very literally calling for the implementation of drug use policies (ie death) from places like Saudi Arabia or the Philippines.

I guess it’s possible it’s part of the Western move right ward but it’s jarring. I get it, the city’s drug problem is at its current worst, but advocating for the actual murder of users is insane and I can’t believe comments like that are at the top of threads. Even just a year ago those comments would be downvoted out of existence

NotSteve_ ,

I was driving a rental scooter last summer and the thing just suddenly stopped in the middle of traffic. It had randomly decided that I was on a sidewalk when I absolutely was not. It was both an embarrassing and a scary situation.

NotSteve_ ,

As a developer, I see sysadmins/devops as black magic masochists

NotSteve_ ,

Pls no. I can only take so much Terraform

NotSteve_ ,

Was surprised at this since it’s not connected to Nintendo in any way, but it turns out it’s not actually related to the Yuzu news:

This doesn’t come as a surprise for many, though, as the AetherSX2 emulator halted development entirely back in 2023, with the developer specifically mentioning the “neverending impersonating, complaints, demands, and now death threats”. Although, it took almost a year for the actual emulator app to be taken down from the Play Store, following the discontinuation of the project

NotSteve_ ,

Open source devs have to deal with the most entitled, messed up people, I swear

NotSteve_ ,

It’s probably cocaine

NotSteve_ ,

CBC and Lemmy

NotSteve_ ,

This looks like a Bell Canada phone which is still a company (unfortunately). You do still see these exact same phones around occasionally

NotSteve_ ,

Same here. I absolutely dread the days where I need to touch my companies infrastructure repo. A simple infra chsnge turns into a week of pain for me

NotSteve_ ,

It was sort of like this when I worked for Cisco, although they’d generally hire you officially after a little while. For me it only took around 6 months but for most of my coworkers it was around 3 years.

NotSteve_ ,

Yeah that’s me. I signed up for and used beehaw for a month before switching to my current lemmy.ca. My old account would definitely be counted the same way as someone who signed up, got bored and left

NotSteve_ ,

Rest in peace Rideau street McDonald’s

NotSteve_ ,

That does seem more like their kind of style

NotSteve_ ,

China and India are better than Canada if you look at per capita. Also how does that change anything? Because some other countries are worse, we just shouldn’t do anything?

Ontop of that, China is heavily investing in nuclear and public transportation, what’s our excuse?

Whats your thoughts on Ai in your terminal? (www.warp.dev)

Today i was doing the daily ritual of looking at distrowatch. Todays reveiw section was about a termal called warp, it has built in AI for recomendations and correction for commands (like zhs and nushell). You can also as a chatbot for help. I think its a neat conscept however the security is what makes me a bit skittish. They...

NotSteve_ ,

Fish’s autocomplete is enough for me. I do like having Copilot in my editor but I can’t really think of a reason I’d need it in my terminal. Most of my time in the terminal is just installing things, git or moving things around and I have all those commands down as muscle memory.

NotSteve_ ,

What’s the reason you want to get a job without an interview? If it’s because of anxiety, you might have trouble even if you manage to skip the interview.

Kind of dealing with that now myself right now. Might be best to remedy the cause of avoiding the interview rather than avoiding the interview

The Great Compression: Thanks to soaring housing prices, the era of the 400-square-foot subdivision house is upon us (www.nytimes.com)

Robert Lanter lives in a 600-square-foot house that can be traversed in five seconds and vacuumed from a single outlet. He doesn’t have a coffee table in the living room because it would obstruct the front door. When relatives come to visit, Mr. Lanter says jokingly, but only partly, they have to tour one at time....

NotSteve_ ,

Pls just build more medium density apartment buildings with 3 bedroom units
