  • I just switched from linux mint to lmde 6 as well and it does feel very much the same cinnamon-y DE I left. The only difference so far is I had to install nvidia drivers myself as it doesn’t seem to come with a driver manager like mint did. I’ve gotten everything else I used so far set up fine but… I guess I haven’t tried gaming yet which I guess might be important to check out, will have to soon









  • This is quite the in-depth article on the topic, I might have to read through it a few times to digest it all.

    One thing I was going to point out was I definitely see benefit to working on software changes where possible to save the cost of needing specialized equipment. The article does cover this

    Holden cites Sea of Thieves’ addition of ‘single stick’ controls, where any swashbuckling and/or plundering can be performed using a single thumbstick

    I was going to mention PSO2: NGS which has a single button to cast any spells based on what might be best for that situation (maybe one of the few things I liked about that game…). Definitely would like to see more of that. I also play FF14 and read a theory that the devs there consider button bloat a game feature, so whenever they simplify one skill (by making it a single button) they have to split another skill by making it multiple instead, which I find really unfortunate, I have a disabled friend who has trouble playing much due to the mass amount of skills.

    And yea, definitely a good idea to donate to charity. SpecialEffect is listed which has been in the Yogscast Jingle Jam charity event at the end of the year. Assuming they have one this year and are taking part, might be a good idea to send some money their way or to other relevant charities for people who can do so








  • One thing I’ve been told in the past is that with public voting records you at least get an idea of if brigading is happening, where it’s coming from etc. Though maybe that’s just a giant list of randomly generated usernames but if it’s coming from a single instance there are at least actions to take from that.



  • Definitely curious to see if we experience waves similar to how mastodon does every time elon says something stupid. I’m not sure we will, though. With the entire reddit gold thing I was expecting people to throw their arms up about the reversal of stuff people paid money for but it seems like they just accepted it and moved on. Perhaps the people that remain will stay there no matter what. Regardless I think how things are going here are still promising.
