Year of the lemmy desktop
Ew, LTT. I feel dirty.
did LTT ever actually fix that issue where they stole somebody’s prototype after trashing it in a review where they tested it on the wrong thing? I had a weird vibe about Linus before that, and just wrote him off after
I think they addressed it, but idk much about it.
Beehaw isn’t even Lemmy under the hood iirc but that’s nitpicking
What is it?
Three rats in a trenchcoat
Piefed I think, I don’t even know what it is, I can’t find a ios client for it. it doesn’t even appear in any instance choice dropdowns or such. It’s a marvel it works at all. Probably glued together with cardboard and bee shit like my uni projects
Nah I’m pretty sure it’s still lemmy. This page seems to say they are looking at moving to something else, but they’re still using lemmy for now https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/beehaw-lemmy-and-a-vision-of-the-fediverse/
Somebody wanna fill me in on the don’t kill games thing? I’ve heard it mentioned 3 times now over the course of a week or two so I figure maybe it’s something noteworthy.
It’s an initiative to stop game companies (EA, Ubisoft, Blizzard etc) from being able to decide if you can play a video game that you’ve bought. The example used is for the video game “The Crew” which was an online-only racing game. After the servers were shutdown by Ubisoft, the game that many people bought became unplayable.
What StopKillingGames wants, is that any company that publishes / develop games provide a way for people who own the game to continue playing it indefinitely. This would most likely come in the form of a game server that could be run by any owner of the game, and shouldn’t be a requirement that publishers / developers run the servers forever as that would be unsustainable.
You have done well, Lemmy. Keep going, and become greater than the corporate-overlord media.
I already don’t own an xbox and am happy about it. Checkmate, MS.
I see this as a small victory for the Fediverse.
There’s definitely an LTT writer that’s active here.
During the last TalkLinked Jacob said he was on Lemmy :)
EDIT: timestamped link: https://youtu.be/bGr3dTK9oAU?si=hJerQLcEG02Mq6U5&t=1135gestures passionately “Download Lemmy!”
I’m feeling warm and fuzzy for some reason.
I am 35, you’re classified
The Lemmy energy is strong here.
The only thing Lemmy doesn’t have that Reddit does have is the immense history of quality content. This will only get better in time.
It’s also missing IMO some mass to discuss more specific topics. For example, there’s enough people to discuss “anime” or “games”, but too few to discuss a specific anime series, or a specific game.
That’ll get better in time too, I believe.
Yeah, true. I still jump to Reddit to view tv show discussions, just won’t log in or comment anymore.
Well done, that’s so awesome to see.
true
Link to segment. And, no, not only didn’t Liechtenstein not cross the threshold they’re not even in the EU they can’t vote.
Oooh, Netherlands and Denmark both over 90% now. We’re movin’!
I’m convinced someone on LTT’s team is on Lemmy. Two weeks ago one of their quickbits had a title “u/spez endorses lemmy”.
You left your SI in the link
What is an si (I presume session id)?
And where do look, if there is a standard for these thingies?
Thanks in advance.
It’s an individual tracking code that tells Google who generated the youtube link you click on. That way, they can see who you’re talking with on other websites.
I went, “Ooh! That’s some ingenuity!” and <facepalm>, both at the same time.
Wasting the ingenuity for this stuff.
@Vittelius@feddit.org dude you’re famous now
Also: this is the way.
put me in the screenshot!
and me!
Fuck yeah, the most wholesome gaming community, no less.
Mama we made it
Why does it have to be LMG of all places to use lemmy. Linus is not the cool tech guy anymore, he’s just another corpa boss who prefers profits over people and accuracy.
LMG has a long history of overworking its workers, plus reports of sexual harassment and bullying…
He belongs with spez and all other profit shitheads the fediverse is supposed to be free of.
My favorite linus quote (when asked why he didn’t properly test a product for a video):
I don’t know if I can apologize for not spending another $500 of various people’s time.
Didn’t he step down as boss after the latest kerfuffle because he just doesn’t make for a good boss.
