  • Do you listen to music when reading? Why or why not?

    Jump

  • Sometimes. It depends on what I'm reading, but if I do, it's a chill playlist or a game's soundtrack. Music with lyrics is distracting, especially if it's a language I understand, haha. There's also the fact that the mood of the book can change chapter by chapter, and the music may take me out of it or make the experience less enjoyable. Changing the playlist while the story progresses sounds like too much trouble to me, but it may be doable.

  • Which RSS reader to use?

    Jump

  • When using my computer, I just recently started using fluent reader. The UI is pretty clean and the few keyboard shortcuts fit my limited needs for an RSS reader. It also has filtering, which I guess pretty much all readers have.

    When using my phone, I use Read You. The reasons are pretty much the same, simple UI, easy to use, etc.

  • Elected official in Japan wants a legal framework for preserving games and keeping them playable

  • Hopefully more officials in other countries will take notice.

  • Minecraft and NFTs

    Jump

  • It's good to have a statement instead of just ignoring the problem. Especially since they have such a big audience, including many kids who probably don't fully understand how these things work.

  • What is your plan for mass adoption of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I keep talking about the Fediverse as a whole to anyone willing to listen. I may not move the masses, but if I can convince even a couple of my friends to give Lemmy, Mastodon or any other open source federated platform a try, I consider that a win.

    Just letting people know Lemmy exists is a contribution to its adoption. It's especially useful to let people know there are alternatives when a big platform has an exodus of users, be it due to poor moderation, a failed acquisition attempt, or any other kind of drama, since that's when they're most willing to migrate permanently.

  • Isn't it too chaotic when every Lemmy instance is considered like a full fledged Reddit clone? Wouldn't it make more sense if every instance would be used for a specific topic like a Discord server?

    Jump

  • The fact that every instance is capable of being its full-fledged thing, doesn't mean it has to do so. That's why we have federation. So yeah, federation allows any approach you want, like the one you mention, of having instances that focus in certain topics, but having generalist instances is okay too. The important part is that users from one instance can participate in the communities of other instances.

  • How do you call a community "sub" in Lemmy ?

    Jump

  • Either community or sublemmy. But I agree that community is generally better.

  • AYANEO to have their own AYANEO OS based on Linux

  • AYANEO to have their own AYANEO OS based on Linux

    Jump

  • Valve really did a good job with the Steam Deck and Steam OS. I fully agree.

    Hopefully, more Steam Deck users will realize how easy it is now to play most games on Linux. And the games that are not playable tend to be multiplayer microtransaction fests that also require some invasive anti-cheating software, so it's not like we're missing much.

    For people who enjoy single player games and don't require specialized software for their daily life, this shows them how far Linux has come, and how viable it is as a daily driver.

  • They took the bag and then let the speaker do his thing. As you say, massive respect to them. I fully agree with Venturelli when it comes to actually being in the spaces given to us and voicing our opinions, instead of being absent and letting crypto bros do their thing and appear legit.

  • Do not ship work in progress

    Jump

  • This one sounds reasonable to me. Everyone loves bleeding edge and the latest updates until things suddenly stop working.

    We, as individuals, have the freedom to choose whether we want nightly updates or more stable ones, but there's a degree of responsibility that comes from distributing packages to users who, at least, expect usability. This is the case even for those of distros which pride themselves in being bleeding edge.

    I like the approach that Arch takes with having the official package and, oftentimes, a "-git" package in the AUR. The expectations should be pretty clear to all users with that.

  • I think that what's happening with Netflix and Uber only shows how unsustainable it is to disrupt the market with cheap prices and a goodish service in order to dominate and remove all competition from the market only to later, inevitably, raise prices and stop the innovation.

    To me, it's clear enough that competition won't dissappear and now users will be less than happy, since what they were used to is now being taken away due to raising costs of operation and the demand for ever-growing profitability by the investors.

    Writing a simple 16 bit VM in less than 125 lines of C

    Jump

  • Great article!

    I'm currently taking a course on compiler design, and our final project is to write both a compiler and a VM like the one specified in the article to run our compiled code. This helped me realize how inefficient mine is, though. 😅

  • Does anyone here practice caloric restriction? What has your experiences been?

  • That is true. I just wish it was also true for other countries, like Mexico, in my case :/
