sj_zero , to fediverse in What is going on with the number of active users?

Probably the-federation.info, which in general is a 11/10 resource.

It's a normal situation when you have big migrations like the reddit migration. Same thing happened on mastodon with the various twitter migrations.

A lot of people migrate thinking they're reaching the promised land, realize they aren't getting what the want from the new platform and go back. It's the nature of bandwagon jumping.

It's just fine. The process of growth is dynamic, and the people who remain are the ones who like the platform.

Absolutely, but at least they made a few games before shutting down the good studios!

I don't think anyone expected them to go full EA before going full EA.

sj_zero , to fediverse in From a networking perspective, does the Fediverse strike anyone else as "optimistic"?

It fails to easily open from an instance that has never seen those communities before. You have to connect to them using the search then it pulls the post history (but not the comment history)

This man works

sj_zero , to patientgamers in I'm looking for games that make me feel small and insignificant

Daggerfall. Once you've played that everything else has the volume turned down.

And on gog there's a version for free that comes with a highly modded daggerfall unity that looks and plays much more like a modern game.

Can confirm. Sauce: Posting from my instance, it was down yesterday.

sj_zero , to programmer_humor in Always write comments

Don't write comments for someone else. Write comments for yourself because you might write a million lines of code and then be told you need to do something to this now ancient legacy code at 3am because some nightmare scenario happens and you need to get it fixed and deployed before they'll let you go back to sleep.

sj_zero , to games in Minecraft's recent EULA changes place heavy restrictions on Java servers

Honestly, I've been considering minetest the real successor to minecraft. It's just really decent, and it doesn't have all the risks of minecraft being controlled by someone else including opening the game being gatekept by their centralized servers.

sj_zero , to technology in Tesla exaggerated EV range so much that drivers thought cars were broken

It's likely that the range is right on point... if you're driving in a way nobody actually drives.

I expect there to be a lot of asterisks next to any EV's range.

Once, I was watching a presentation on some electric off-road vehicles. Big hulking things. They were bragging about their 120 kilometer range. I was looking at them sideways because you can't just say a number like that.

Sure enough, if you take the off-road vehicles off-road and start driving up hills, that 120 kilometers turns into 20 kilometers.

I don't want to look like I'm misrepresenting things here -- you burn more fuel going uphill in an ICE car than you do on level ground as well. The thing with electric is you're getting equivalent range with much less energy by being more efficient, which means you're working with less when you come up against something that chews up your energy.

sj_zero , to technology in Nematode resurrected from Siberian permafrost laid dormant for 46,000 years

I wonder what would have occurred afterwards, since DNA degrades pretty much completely in a couple thousand years. Did the cold weather Protect the genetic code, or do these creatures have something to protect their genetic code?

Also makes me think of the oxygen catastrophe and the ice age that followed. Overwhelming majorities of all life died out, but I assume some of what survived has traits like this?

Rip the Simpsons

sj_zero , to technology in Musk's new idea

Companies change hands. Governments change parties. People seem to forget that, and they want to hand absolute power over to their buddies in companies or in the government, with no regard for those facts.

Remember what happened here, and know that it can happen again at any time.

sj_zero , to technology in People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars

My 09 focus actually had a fantastic voice control. Never seen anything nearly as intuitive or operational.

My current vehicle is 7 years newer and I don't even know what the voice button does.
