imho the 2nd and 3rd contradict each other a bitt possibly

I get your point, but that is only 50% of the article. 800 players simply don’t justify the effort of porting everything to Linux and risk more cheaters. Issues with cheaters affect the entire playerbase, not just those 800.

I’d like more Linux compatibility in large games as much as the next guy, but I get the justification not to do it.

Well if you and assumingly many others decided to quit the game for good after that announcement, the number might be cherry picked, but not misleading as you said yourself that you are not going to play anymore.

In that case they also get what they want - solely Windows players.

Yes, and exactly that is reflected in the player numbers… By your and many others’ choice. They couldn’t care less about the reason.

I’m just saying that announcing their move ahead of time affects player numbers and they probably reported the player numbers after that announcement.

1. this plays in their favor
2. clicking install in lutris rather than just downloading is not much more effort for the end user. Beit supported or not, a rather tech savvy group such as linux users can handle that obstacle and thus the numbers will not change drastically (just my asdumption)

never understood why steamos made sense aside from a steamdeck… just start steam in autostart and enable big picture

what is that supposed to mean? when the api charges were announced, multiple subs went private and were resurrected against the mods’ free will. other mods were instituted. whether any of those made any money, i don’t know. keep in mind that i was not one of those mods and thus cannot verify that information, it is just what was posted on reddit multiple times. trying to deescalate and moderate a sub is a good thing and we should be grateful to those who actively do, but holding it against them that they do not take any money for that neither makes sense nor does anyone benefit from it.

is he your superior? that is the only thing that would require you to talk to your manager. depending on the firm culture and your ego i’d consider this: you are the new one. there are minds to make up abput you. if you go and tell them about the situation, your are the one ratting others out and playing right into his hands (by ratting him out you show yourself not being a team player and - depending on management views - maybe even high maintenance). if he talks about you, he is probably already known to make quick assumptions and not shut up about those. by not telling on him, on the other hand, you show that you provide value independent of others and are not easily influenced.

try to talk to the others (carefully) why he acts that way and how they deal with it. it is normal to ask questions. you are the new joiner and just want to get to know the firm culture.

sorry for typos (typed on phone)

so you’re saying the motivation behind the male population’s acts and their believe system is based on their hormone system?

I doubt that…

Wait aren’t the system requirements for Mailcow crazy high? How can you run it + other software on a mere Pi? Also: do you have a static IP?

mr_pip , 5 months ago

Can you recommend any good forums to look for board games?

mr_pip , 8 months ago

using google is not what i’d call free

mr_pip , 9 months ago

so what is it?

about the full system config: how?

I‘m all with you on the beehaw topic, but please keep in mind to recommend smaller instances to newbies, because that‘s what federation is all about. Aside from load distribution (lots of instances are run by individuals or groups on small(ish) machines), you can avoid being independent on single large entities keeping their uptime etc.

TLDR: recommend smaller instances for load distribution to get the best out of a federated world!

mr_pip , 11 months ago

Do you mean local communities? If not, I do not understand your statement.
Also: can you explain how searching for communities is worse on smaller instances than on large ones? That does not make sense to me and does not reflect my experience at all.

It points to the lemmy instance the post has been published on. It is useful if you want to share a generic link to a post with someone and maybe don’t want to share the information on what instance you created your account on, because the other permalink button always references to the instance of your account.

• Nextcloud, mainly for calendars and contacts; occasionally for sharing files with others.
• Syncthing for syncing files.

Quick question: have you thought about hosting Radicale and filebrowser instead of NextCloud? I think that would be definetly lighter on your system.

Also: I have read lots of mixed opinions whether mailservers should be selfhosted - what is your take on this? Do you know about problems reaching the big player mailservers?

mr_pip , 1 year ago

• whats your opinion on selfhosting mail servers?
• why have you chosen baikal over radicale?
• are you happy with filestash? im torn between filestash and filebrowser
