  • What screen locker do you use and why?

    Jump

  • I thought that slock was too complicated so I wrote a tiny one for myself in Go using xgb. Less than 100 lines and pretty straightforward but it makes some assumption about my personal setup so not public.

  • Give it to me straight. How worried are you for Fedora's future after Red Hats recent anti user decisions?

    Jump

  • Not worried at all, I've moved on many years ago.

  • Shattered Pixel Dungeon

    Jump

  • Shattered is my roguelike of choice on mobile (along with Hoplite if that counts). On desktop I play DCSS and Brogue. Used to play a lot of Nethack too. Never ascended in any of them but that doesn't make it any less fun.

  • YouTube confirms 3-strike policy for blocking ads

    Jump

  • So you see YouTube, the thing is, I'm not gonna watch those stupid ads. I don't care how short or long, it's just not happening. No, not even the tip. I can use the site without watching the ads and maybe send links to my friends and they might give you some ad impressions. Or I can go do something else, get mad at Google and never spend another dollar at the play store and stuff. What do you think?

  • I fucked up :|

    Jump

  • Why bother with either of those for private personal repos though? Why not just regular remote repos over ssh?

  • Nostalgia: The Very First Android Phone

    Jump

  • That looks neat! Remind me of the Keyboard Covers Samsung had for the S7 and S8. Those worked by covering up part of the screen and the physical keys were triggering the touchscreen and a special touchscreen keyboard driver. Worker pretty well and it was nice to have the flexibility to have the cover on or off. It could be stowed on the back of the phone when not in use.

  • Nostalgia: The Very First Android Phone

    Jump

  • We had actual form-factor innovation back then, for a while phone designs still dared to try something besides the slab. Some real work went into that G1 slider mechanism.

  • Nostalgia: The Very First Android Phone

    Jump

  • You can still get them if you care enough, some of us still use them. There have always been at least a couple reasonably modern physical-keyboard Android phones available, there are a few choices today too. I never had to resort to a non-PKB phone since the G1.

  • Nostalgia: The Very First Android Phone

    Jump

  • I had both as well. The G2 had more powerful HW for sure but the keyboard was worse: no dedicated number row, no physical Back button (and the Home button was pretty sad too) and the slider mechanism wasn't as robust.

  • Nostalgia: The Very First Android Phone

    Jump

  • That keyboard was excellent and the slider mechanism was solid too! A lot of the later pkb phones don't have a dedicated number row. And I really miss the physical Home and Back buttons, even pkb keyboard don't have those these days. My only complaint is about the trackball. It was ok for some things but not accurate enough and got flakier with use.

    I also loved early-Android UI. The modern stuff might be smooth but ergonomically it's crap. For me the G1 represents a golden age, I am sad that I gave it away.

  • YouTube could be testing a three-strikes policy for ad blocking

    Jump

  • I guess 2023 is the year of enshittification.

  • I HATE “boomer shooter”

    Jump

  • What irks me is that it associates the genre with the wrong generation for the sake of being catchy. Should be "Gen-X shooter" if anything but I guess that doesn't roll off the tongue.

  • What do you want the world to be like in 100 years?

    Jump

  • You might want to skip forward about 40 more years to be on the safe side.

  • Lemmy v0.18.0 Release

    Jump

  • I will have to update my bookmarks but the new URL scheme looks much nicer! I like the UI changes too. Can't wait to see this on my instance.

  • Anyone Else Excited for Red Dust Rebellion?

    Jump

  • I don't have a group for it but I like the theme. Give these people air Cohaagen!

  • A Visual Guide to SSH Tunnels: Local and Remote Port Forwarding

    Jump

  • Easy way to remember: with -L you are binding the port Locally, with -R you are binding the port remotely.

  • Zuckerberg/Musk Cage Match Incoming?

    Jump

  • Gotta be Thunderdome rules though.

    Edit, on a second though, I wouldn't bother even then. Who cares about these a-holes.

  • Favorite iPad games?

    Jump

  • I don't normally use iOS devices so when I borrow my friend's ancient iPad it is to play a couple digital boardgame implementations that are available for iOS but not Android: Finished!, Dead Man's Draw and Zombie Dice. So I guess those are my favorites.

    Finished! in particular is pretty addictive and very satisfying when you finally get that win.

  • Roguelike recommendations?

    Jump

  • Brogue is worth a try. I like the back-to-the-genre-roots minimalism and the hybrid-ascii aesthetics. I alternate between DCSS and Brogue these days.
