TopHat@compuverse.ukto Infinity for Lemmy@lemdro.id•[Discussion] The future branding of the appEnglish3·2 years agoI’ll suggest Lemmesee as a word play on Let Me See and Lemmy. Some alternate possibilities regarding styling/spelling: LemmeSee, Lemmysee, LemmySee, LemmySy
Will definitely keep an eye out on the icon contest.
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Technology@beehaw.org•I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate interchangable batteries1·2 years agoDon’t get me wrong - I think an included battery that’s rechargeable through USB is fantastic. Less customer inconvenience. But they should either go with a standard that’s easily reproducible or go with regular rechargeable batteries.
Gotta go for ProtonMail. Have been running it for a year and I kinda like how it’s doing.
An additional feature is SimpleLogin’s “Hide My E-mail” Aliases, which are “burner” e-mail addresses to use with pre-determined SimpleLogin domains (you can add your own domains as well to go around Proton’s custom domain limit). Those are included in the full suite and Family subscriptions. (10 a month when subscribing for a year)
There’s also a cheaper variant for 3.50 a month but it lacks the SimpleLogin feature. You can get SimpleLogin seperately for 30 a year, however.
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Technology@beehaw.org•I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate interchangable batteries1·2 years agoIf it was so easy to replace them, with each Li-Ion battery being different for every type of device.
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Technology@beehaw.org•I just wanted to take a minute to appreciate interchangable batteries1·2 years agoSince I got those from Ikea, I just want devices to go back to those types of batteries instead of internal battery packs. Still got to appreciate the Xbox controllers sticking to that principle (for now).
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Infinity For Lemmy update just dropped. dev is really active in the community1·2 years agoI used to have this issue, but 0.0.8 is now out. Obtanium pulls in that release just fine!
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Open Source@lemmy.ml•Infinity For Lemmy update just dropped. dev is really active in the community3·2 years agoTry Obtainium, helps if an app isn’t on F-Droid or Google Play Store.
I’m honestly a bigger fan of the classic DOOM I/II (199X) soundtracks. Despite being obvious parodies of existing rock/metal songs, they had a certain appeal. Especially when someone makes a very good cover.
I get why people like 2016’s DOOM’s more “metal” approach, but for me nothing beats an adrenaline-rush song when ripping and tearing those damned demons.
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Gaming@beehaw.org•Are you an intrinsically or extrinsically motivated gamer?English1·2 years agoany game with a story
Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, Satisfactory, Rimworld, Starbound…
Super Mario Galaxy (1+2). Orchestrated music should be a must for main Nintendo games at this point, outside of Zelda (and the Pokémon anime, although that one’s not strictly Nintendo or used in actual games, sadly).
TopHat@compuverse.ukOPto Technology@lemmy.world•[Not My Own] "RetroTV" - A self-made linear TV network for watching films and seriesEnglish2·2 years agoThe Prevue channel definitely wow’d me with using an SQL database for the data and SDL to render that.
TopHat@compuverse.uktoGame Deals@compuverse.uk•[Fanatical] July Platinum Collection - Build Your Own BundleEnglish2·2 years agoAny specific recommendations, by any chance?
Also out of curiosity, how did you grab all the foreign pricing from Fanatical?
TopHat@compuverse.uktoGame Deals@compuverse.uk•[Humble] Choice July 2023, including The Outer Worlds, Temtem, Yakuza 4 Remastered, Roadwarden and 4 more games2·2 years agoQuick Note: Outer Worlds is the Space Choice’s edition, aka the remastered version of this year. It used to have big performance issues, but has been seemingly fixed with recent patches? It at least does not include the original game.
TopHat@compuverse.ukto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•So how long until the Fediverse is monetized?6·2 years agoI could see both ads and subscriptions work (although, the former might be “useless” for those using adblockers, after all, so I’d see persistent/static sponsorship ads similar to how some FOSS projects do it to be more likely).
Especially the latter, for certain services that focus on providing value. A friend of mine mentioned Misskey for example, apparently being used by some Japanese artists. Considering Twitter’s on its way out by being harmful to commission artists, I could see someone spin up such instance and ask X amount for providing a marketplace for commissioned goods.
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•What is everyone getting this Steam sale?English2·2 years agoTo add to the folks owning both a Switch and a Deck:
Keep in mind that the Steam Deck might be more “unstable” than a regular console like a Switch. Not just games or controller config tweaks, but also general system stability - I’m speaking of experience with the beta software of the Deck.
Despite that, if you’re tech-savvy enough or are happy to stick with only Verfiied/Playable rated games without tinkering, the Steam Deck’s highly recommendable. Even for party games, as you can just use any vendor’s controller on the Deck basically. Don’t need to get 4 of one vendor or the like.
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•What is everyone getting this Steam sale?English2·2 years agoFrom what I read - there’s a remastered version that includes the DLC which is prominently advertised since March this year (which is also the version coming to Humble Choice). The remaster apparently had huge performance issues, but those have been (recently) resolved after few patches. Seems like typical AAA “We’ll fix it” behaviour, sadly.
Remarkably is that buying that remastered version doesn’t provide a copy to the original (probably due to IP ownership lying with Obsidian/Microsoft than Private Division themselves).
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•What is everyone getting this Steam sale?English2·2 years agoThat’s definitely part of the charm that got me to wishlist it so long ago in the first place!
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•What is everyone getting this Steam sale?English1·2 years agoI’m doubtful - only because I don’t get sucked in that easily anymore with games. My backlog continues to grow, and I still haven’t even beaten Tears of the Kingdom yet lol. But I got high expectations for Persona 5. I love me some flashy turn-based RPGs.
I got Dragon Quest 11 before as I prefer the turn-based combat in RPG, but that’s no where as flashy and catchy as Persona 5. So P5R definitely would get beaten before DQ11 haha.
TopHat@compuverse.ukto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•What is everyone getting this Steam sale?English2·2 years ago- Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice (Refunded as it got cheaper during the sale - then got it for even less than the original sale price with the soundtrack on GOG)
- Caesar 3 (Got that recommended along with my earlier purchase of Pharaoh + Cleopatra)
- Deus Ex™ GOTY Edition (Literally 1 buck + I’ve heard it got a great modding community)
- Lollypop (Had my eye on it since it launched on GOG - looks like a neat DOS game)
- Yakuza Complete Series (Already got Yakuza 0 on Steam, but couldn’t pass this. Especially at the all-time low price point. Funnily enough, I believe these games are one of the first to use GOG’s new Steam SDK wrapper to make it easier to port. Denuvo was already ripped out before by SEGA, and only having to recompile the game once to point to GOG’s own .DLL probably made the release a hell lot easier than before.)
- Hypnospace Outlaw (Indie game that’s been on my Steam watchlist for a while.)
- Cuphead with The Delicious Last Course and its Soundtrack (Double-dipping because I got the base game on Switch and the soundtrack through Steam. But didn’t wanna rely on Switch emulation to play the DLC after buying it. So GOG release it is!)
- True Love '95 (An older Visual Novel that got recently re-released on GOG. Seemed interesting enough to give it a shot.)
His comment didn’t address two key issues for me:
I’ve been enjoying solely the WAN Show, but hearing about constant mistakes in benchmarks while praising “We want to show factual information on benchmarks for once.”, is rubbing me in the wrong way. You can’t rush benchmarking without QA and publish those results as fact. You get to choose for accuracy, or fast to churn content.
And Linus not mentioning something concrete on the first issue is worrying to me, not showing a clear intent to ease on rushing those benchmarks.
Not to mention, it’s worth taking down a video if benchmarka are wrong even if the conclusion is “most likely to remain the same”, which one cannot conclude with certainty without redoing it. It would be better transparency wise to either not knowingly publish wrong information, or put a more clear notice on said videos besides the description and a pinned comment.
