Source is instance sidebar, but if you’re using an app that’s gonna be found in a variety of places. In Voyager for example it’s under Communities>3 dot menu in the upper right>Instance sidebar.

[…] I really don’t see gamers ever embracing AI.

They’ve spent years training to fight it, so that tracks.

Also if you don’t want to manually switch it all the time, go into your account settings and change the sort type to whatever you prefer. Similar should apply in apps, with a bonus: some apps will let you change default comment sort setting as well.

Efforts like this always have me split. On one hand I appreciate them keeping old media going, on the other I wish their efforts would go towards an open source clone/variant instead of propping up a neglected property from a giant company.

Especially when said company could abruptly change with different management and start trying to shut down their activities.

Whenever you like, honestly. It’s mostly a nice acknowledgment to the poster that you appreciated their post. Unlike commercial social media it’s not sending out anything to your followers that you interacted with it (at least last I checked).

I think many people boost more than favorite because it functions a little similarly in regards to acknowledgment, with the bonus that it helps share the post to others which is even more relevant in federated networks than on centralized platforms.

Was thinking the same and you can.

Minimal fucking around needed too, just pkg install imagemagick then navigate filesystem to images ya want to adjust and magick however desired to reduce the file size.

You may want to be a little clearer. Are you after a mix of the old style Reddit interface alongside what RES added?

If so I can’t remember what RES added, but I gather it’s enough that the old style frontend may still feel lacking and the others aren’t scratching that itch either.

Try to learn more, focus on creative/constructive approaches or outlets (not necessarily artistic in nature, but may be).

Sometimes I’ll read into history for something or other and find myself mildly amused and sort of relieved to see how familiar the accounts are. Of course it would be better if they weren’t so familiar, but it goes to show things aren’t freshly awful. It’s a lot of the same old garbage we’ve yet to effectively deal with, same as ever, but we have been dealing with it.

In other words, I try to take steps to regain perspective to recognize there’s as much, if not at times more, good to experience than bad, and even if I struggle to find much good, I can try to make my own sort of good to keep myself going.

The game the article is about is FlyKnight.

You might find the game Gnosia interesting then. It’s a visual novel with a hidden traitor mechanic mixed with a time loop, which is partly there to narratively explain how and why the hidden traitor changes each time.

For some reason I thought this was another Early Access situation, but it’s not. Moments like this I love being wrong.

Talk about a pleasant surprise!

[…] there was just a little more non-political content to help dilute it due to the larger user-base.

There was/is a lot more and that’s one of the various reasons the different Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed sites haven’t swayed people over yet. There’s far more people around here replying to posts like this and news posts, as well as creating news/politics/“dry” posts or find-anywhere-fare like memes/shitposts than much else.

It’s why recently I’ve tried posting more than media news links to a few of the different entertainment communities. Around here you really have to post/comment on what you want to see more than on the big corporate sites.

Appreciate this post OP, as I’ve wondered similar at times when not wanting to fuss with another machine for self-hosting (as often it’s not the case that I could run the server software on my main system).

I’d say post this sort of thing to any of the chat/discussion communities across instances.

!general@lemmy.world is open for it.

!casualconversation@lemm.ee is open for it too.

!chat@beehaw.org is likely open for it.

There’s plenty more but those are a few to start with. You may not get many responses due to fewer people and fewer among those in the same age range, but you may also be pleasantly surprised. Regardless, that’s an easier route than trying to start up a community from scratch.

Btw instead of inviting people over, you may also try sharing stuff from around here with links you think your friends might enjoy. Once they see there’s stuff of interest, that may be more of a draw than an invite to Yet Another App alone.

Is there some context that could help clarify what’s led to this change?

Similarly, could you provide clearer examples, and how this is intended to fit into the existing Terms of Service/Rules? Despite the length of the post, the way in which it’s written leaves this change too ambiguous to be easily understood, which I think is evident both from the voting and commenting patterns.

In my opinion, my questions should have already been addressed in the post, and I think may have helped reception of this change (supposing at minimum it’s to curtail some abusive moderation practices).

Was hoping they might have added an option to Not Update/Skip Update or Never Update, or some other means to preserve the currently installed version. I don’t like Valve’s (and other tech businesses’) assumption that updates are always good.

The only games for which these update settings make some sense are always online, “service” games. Other games are largely fine to indefinitely delay updates on, or never update at all.

Quick search surfaced the following for Linux:

k3b, where the source repo states bluray burning capabilities.
xfburn also mentions bluray burning capabilities.

For Windows, albeit old and unupdated, I know the following still works for other purposes (never tried bluray burning/writing though):

ImgBurn mentions bluray burning/writing capabilities, but never tried it.

Bonus: not capable of bluray burning/writing but just fun to mention for any still into ripping/writing to discs on Windows:

InfraRecorder, simply a classic, and it’s open source!

The one center frame is suspiciously round. It’s going to go places!
