  • Where are all the good stealth games?

    Jump

  • +1 for Mark of the Ninja. The gameplay is so polished, great art direction, and simple but satisfying. It is a staple Klei Entertainment game. Not to mention the good story, at least as I remember. It's not a new game, released originally in 2012, however there's a remastered version on Steam.

  • Intricately crafted electronic albums?

    Jump

  • Iglooghost!

    If I had to recommend one artist, it would definitely be this. I've never heard anything like it. Chaotic, lighthearted, masterfully crafted beats and percussions, and a lot of heart. There's also a little world built around the music with alien creatures and their own languages.

  • Admins, we're about to have a really bad SPAM problem when Lemmy removes captcha support in v.0.18 - You ALL have a responsibility to communicate back to lemmy devs to try to stop it.

  • Thank you for your response, makes sense. Hmmm. On one hand, I agree with the developers in that they have to develop features that the foundation requires. They have full time employment contract with them.

    They have to prioritize tasks and features using a whole different set of variables than what the users deem important.

    I think both groups intentions are understandable. But I think this just highlights the importance and the need of open source contribution. We need more volunteers to implement features desired by the community.

  • So, do you think we need to step up to the developers to implement captcha or give way to the community and support a fork with better anty-spam measures?

  • Who is impacted? Everyone, it just instances upgrading to 0.18?

    To be honest, your post doesn't really explain the current situation and impact It's a call to arms, but I have no idea how important it impactful it is.

  • Spotify Desktop app gets a new look and upgraded library features | Engadget

    Jump

  • Such an improvement in my opinion. 90% of the time I am browsing my playlists. Now, instead of getting 20% of the screen space, they get a generous 70% almost! This small change makes me want to use Spotify desktop again.

    I have no idea how they came to this decision, or whether I'm in the majority, but it makes me wonder: did they finally start to use the app usage analytics to improve their UX? Like looking at the most used functions in their app.

  • The joy of slow living in Story Of Seasons: A Wonderful Life

    Jump

  • I do agree with the author that Stardew Valley can be stressful. A day is too short, and you want to cream in as much as you can. We play coop together with my girlfriend and we still feel overwhelmed sometimes.

    But I do admit, this just might be because of our playstyles. We actually enjoy chaotically cramming in everything in one day, and we have roles and usual chores assigned. She usually grinds the mines and takes care of animals, I take care of the crops and community house stuff.

    We didn't even touch NPC interaction yet, might be missing a lot!

    All I'm saying is, I never got the laid-back, slow, relaxed feeling from Stardew. Yes, it's serene and peaceful in theme, but it's as fast-paced as you want it to be. It really respects your time I think.

  • Browser for Windows 10 that consomes few RAM?

    Jump

  • This is a good idea. You don't even need an external SSD, you can use a simple USB drive as well. I've done this for a long time with an old laptop and a lightweight Linux Mint distro (although you can probably have something even more lightweight on there)

  • Browser for Windows 10 that consomes few RAM?

    Jump

  • Ungoogled Chromium: https://chromium.woolyss.com/ It should be the most barebones Chromium browser, hopefully using less RAM. And! Important: Download the 32bit version, even if you choose another browser. As your friend only has 4GB RAM, the max memory a 32bit software can address, you wouldn't have any benefit from a 64bit version, and 32bit apps usually use much much less memory (RAM).

    Good luck!

  • Study: 47% of gamers play on multiple platforms

    Jump

  • Yeah I think these hardware created their own category, handheld PCs. Separate from PC, console and handheld consoles.

  • Cities Skylines II Development Diary #1: Road Tools

    Jump

  • Yeah. Cities: Skylines biggest draw was traffic simulation. If they are downgrading the variety of traffic and vehicles then I'll wait.

    Megathread for Reddit Blackouts and News - Week 1

    Jump

  • True... Hornyposters are a whole different beast, seems to me like a separate "community" within reddit who doesn't really care about other stuff. I'm not a saint, I browse NSFW subreddits as well, but I cannot comprehend why would anybody want to comment under some random nude. The amount of thirsty comments is mind-boggling

  • Thanks for the info and source. I should have figured. I edited my comment to reflect this, I think we see the long tail effect in action, and just goes to show that every subreddit and community should participate in the protest, no matter how small.

  • Is this a restriction on bot activity? I guess it would make sense for non-malicious bots using the API, but there's nothing stopping writing a malicious bot just using the website scraping and automation to post anywhere. At least I never had to fill out a captcha, but there's possible there are measure against these kind of bots as well.

  • I got the 90% from here: https://reddark.untone.uk/ - So this site is only listing the subreddits which declared their participation? In that case, I misunderstood the purpose of this site. I thought that this is a mostly complete subreddit list (granted, I have no idea how many subreddits exists on reddit... I'm not sure you can even get a list or scrape them effectively)

  • How is it possible, that with 90% of subbreddits set to private, the number of posts and comments created on reddit do not decrease according to https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/? (EDIT: I might have based this percent on misinterpreted information, see EDIT at end of comment. But I leave the following paragraphs unchanged for history and food for thought.)

    Activity only decreased by 20-30% if I'm being generous looking at the graph. How is this possible, is the graph accurate? How can 10% of subreddits be so active, like nothing happened? That would meanthe remaining 70-80% of activity is happening in 10% of the subreddits which are still open! Which is craaazy.

    I have a theory - maybe we are underestimated the amount of bots on the site and they operating like nothing happened in the open subreddits? If this would be the case (and I'm gonna enter speculation and conspiracy territory here), but what if certain parties have quotas to fulfill for advertisers or propaganda machines, so they have to post (using bots or other means)?

    I struggle to find the cause of this anomaly, of course you wouldn't see 1:1 decrease in subbreddits going dark and activity, because people are subscibed to plethora of subbreddits. But I thought that it'll be at least 50-60% decrease in post activity. Worst case scenario is that these are real users creating real posts and comments, because that would make this protest moot - It would just show reddit management that the community doesn't matter, general public who come to the site will still interact with the remaining slop, advertisers rejoice.

    EDIT: I based the 90% number on this site's statistic: https://reddark.untone.uk/. My understanding was that these subreddits makes up for most of all subs on reddit. Turns out, as @[email protected] mentioned in this comment, these are only subreddits that participate in the blackout. Based on the README.md of this reddark fork, it pulls the list of participating subreddits from the threads on r/ModCoord.

    However I still feel the impact of the blackout a little lackluster. If this is the case, this statistic could be explained by another phenomenon: that the distribution of reddit activity by subreddits have an incredibly long tail. Meaning, that a significant portion of comments and posts are created in a very large quantity of small subs, which does not participate in the protest.

  • English is a Terrible Programming Language

    Jump

  • Very good article, I agree with most of the points.

    I also like to think that AI will never replace programmers, because for that to happen, the customer would have to give complete, correct and full requirements and specifications in plain, simple English - we know that almost never happens. Instead, you have to force the requirements out of them with pliers!
