Sounds like fun hobbies :) Money is worthless after you die so might aswell spend it on something you enjoy i guess.

Damn, 26% is not too shabby. Thats just a lot of money for most people, but i guess other people buy figurines that they never do anything with at all, so it could be worse i guess. Well i hope you enjoy playing them :)

If you somehow dont have Metro 2033 yet, you can still add it to your library for free today.

What is wrong with you? Have you even played 10% of those games?

Is the PoE 2 tutorial boss any harder than the PoE 1 tutorial boss? Because if not, then thats actually crazy.

We will get soooo many of these headlines in the coming months and years. It will be glorious. Everyone will get instant and cheaper access to new tech while USians get fucked lol

Its only an issue if you play like 8+ hours every day. For small movements most people use their wrist and that fucks your joints if you do it enough. That is one of the reasons for why pro players do it.

Thats crazy how much the preferences differ. I do like 2 spins with my big ass mousepad.

BYD does solar inverters, storage, etc too. They cover the whole range of energy products. Its usually cloud garbage by default but they do have properly documented local modbus/MQTT/http support so still better than some of the western competition.

He apparently lives in Japan with his Japanese wife that he met doing game dev.

The dev could make it tho

Ofcourse they do. It would allow people to share and multiply old, non backdoored versions of apps. They know they will be forced to ship those soon.

I have a phone that acts as a grid outage resistant p2p webserver. runs stuff like syncthing, briar mailbox, etc. i can see this being useful for that kinda stuff.

If you mean screensharing, then you can totally do that with game footage in element call tho. Someone i know had the same concern but it worked fine for them. This is the call software used in the element matrix client so you can try it out and tell me if it works https://call.element.io/

This is the public test version of the new call system that you can try without an account https://call.element.io/

Its pretty new and still evolving, but this is basically just embedded in Element if you start a call in the client. From my test just now it doesnt look like you can have two people screensharing at once :( The screensharing itself works fine tho, it looks like a new share by a different person will just overwrite the previously started one.

Nice, glad it worked out. The only time you dont use encryption would be large rooms (>100 users) because eventually joining the room will slow down a lot for new people due to all the key sync stuff. So i would turn it on in your case.

Unencrypted messages/media/rooms can be read by the server administrators of all the servers that have one of their users in your room. matrix.org and other big servers have implemented server side scanning for unencrypted rooms, so if you dont like that turn it on.

As long as everyone verifies their own devices there shouldnt be any need to think about encryption key stuff. Server side key storage using the recovery key makes the key sync process between your own sessions much more reliable in my experience however.

You can also verify other peoples identity (is this session im talking to really used by person X?) in person by scanning a QR code on their device but thats not functionally necessary.

You probably already know that its federated, so first step would be picking a server. I would pick one that is on your continent from this list. https://servers.joinmatrix.org/

I would not recommend using the matrix.org server but im too lazy right now to explain why. (basically the same as the arguments against pushing users to lemmy.world)

I would also not use a web based client long term. In the next step you will need to for registration, which is kind of stupid, but you can just log out of the web client after the registration is done.

===========================================

Im just gonna randomly pick the server https://gemeinsam.jetzt/ (Austria) from the earlier list. From the list it links you to https://element.gemeinsam.jetzt/ for registration. If you click on “Create Account” it will give you this prompt:

After you fill everything out (+ email confirmation) you will be logged in. Now you have an account that you can use to log into a proper client with an address that look like this @username:gemeinsam.jetzt

You can now log out of the web client as you dont need it anymore. (It might warn you that you are logging out of your last device/session but thats ok).

===========================================

Now you can pick a client (there are many but these are the most up to date ones).

For desktop use: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element/

For mobile use the newer: https://matrix.org/ecosystem/clients/element-x/

So now you have an account on a server of your choosing and a client which means you just give the client your full address like @username:gemeinsam.jetzt to log in and the client will automatically figure out what server your account is on. Put in your password and you are logged in.

Every time you log into a new client, it creates a new session/device that will have its own independent set of message encryption keys unless verified by another existing device/session. That means to keep your keys synchronized (and messages readable) the client will always request you to verify new devices (other than the first one) upon login.

As you logged out of the only remaining session/device earlier, this newly created one should again be the first and only one of the account. You can verify this in the client settings by looking at the “Sessions” section.

Thats basically it for the initial setup. See following section for why you should have either multiple devices/sessions or set up a recovery key.

===========================================

Your messages are stored in your account data on your server, but they are encrypted, so if you lose access to all your devices, then all those messages are gone. To prevent that you can create a “recovery key” which is just a long password that is used to encrypt your encryption keys so they too can be stored safely on your server. This allows you to restore your messages even if all devices are lost by entering the recovery key after logging in from a new device.

If you want to use multiple devices just log in on that device and follow the prompt to “verify this session from another device”. (works by QR code or comparing some emojis) By verifying a session, you synchronize all your message encryption keys to that device/session. The easiest way to verify new devices is like this, by using an existing device.

Let me know if you get stuck anywhere and i will try to help you out :)

Matrix is getting better constantly tho. I havent had any issues introducing non techie people to it.

And it is slowly happening :)

The worse discord becomes, the easier it will be to convince people to switch to matrix :)

Lmao the cut off twitch chat message

She cut on my med till i care

It has been fun so far, the planning tool for coordinating is a great idea. I like the somewhat retro aesthetic too. There are definitely still some bugs since the dev work was only recently taken over by new people, but it works fine for me.

Havent played ready or not but have seen vids. The core gameplay is more like R6 or CS but the pre planning aspect gives it a bit of ready or not. Its definitely not realistic in any way tho. Its not scenarios, its just good ol 5v5 bomb defusal with a twist.

Due Process, a recently revived tactical shooter that is currently super cheap (<1€) and runs on linux.

It looks like they enabled linux EAC support at the same time as they put the game on sale. Very smart move because there are lots of ex R6 players that cant play it anymore on linux.

The steam page still says “Steam Deck unsupported” but its just only been 4 days so its not updated yet https://www.protondb.com/app/753650

Devs being cool on a post i found

I think your browser might just be fucky wucky. Looks and behaves fine to me.

And for the industrial market $ per performance is all that matters because in large deployments there is no issue with just parallelizing as many GPUs as you want. Even if an intel GPU for a 10th of the price has a 5th of the performance, then you just slap together 5 of them and get the same processing power for half the price.

Well it depends where you live…

The thing about the “PC exclusive” is kinda dumb. All those kinda indie games usually run perfectly on linux and steamdeck.

Everyone meaning politically well informed people that are arguing in good faith.

Everyone knew this for a long time, but nice to see some more confirmation.

Yeah this is just a VRChat mod basically…

“Lip syncing” thats really underselling it haaard. He was on fire in that costume.

More like no “Free Taiwan” etc. Fuck Asmongold but this gets the point across quickly… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x1r16vMbQlk

You cant even type the number “1989” or “Dalai Lama” or “Winnie the Pooh”. It would be funny if it wasnt so sad.

They also seem to be following CCP censorship rules. Yay.

Edit: What are the downvotes for, its objectively correct.

Especially because the US gov has indirectly admitted to being concerned about pro palestine “propaganda” on tiktok. So its not even a conspiracy theory

Epic doesnt give games away. They give temporary licenses to games away which they can always take from you. Epic uses this to get people onto and dependent on their platform so they can then extract money from them. GOG has no way to extract money from people like that and has no leverage against their customers.

With GOG you can download all game files to your local storage and play them even if GOG goes to shit. Thats the difference. But yes Steam is the same as Epic in that regard.

And thats exactly why Epic is untrustworthy. Its like a shady guy on the corner saying “Hey i will give you 500 bucks if you just do this easy little thing for me. Will be done right away no worries”.

This feels like preperation for enforcing backdoored chat apps to me. The EU has been pushing for this for years now and eventually it will happen. When the time comes it will most likely come with laws that force google to make sideloading impossible to prevent people from using backdoor free apps.

All while other parts of the EU are actively supporting sideloading and FOSS. Its such a clown world we live in.
