The Magic Keyboard, Trackpad and Mouse now use USB-C! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

the problem is less how often I have to charge my mouse and rather that I'm almost always using it and on top forgetting to charge overnight so there is no "convenient" time to charge it during the day where I'd not use it

given how often my mouse has to charge while I'm using it I'd have a major issue with it

Minetest breaks the chains of being a Minecraft clone with a new name — Luanti in c/[email protected]

That certainly didn't help either

Seems like a decision for the better, so long as they have the name Mine attached to it there will be higher expectations and lower initial trust than with an entirely different name

ani.social didn't exist back then (or I didn't know about it) and since we needed at least two communities to prevent whole volume readers from catching stray spoilers...

if water makes other things wet then most water is wet because it (usually) is surrounded by more water. qed

Last I checked (which was a while ago) "AI" still can't pass the most basic of tasks such as "show me a blank image"/"show me a pure white image". the LLM will output the most intense fever dream possible but never a simple rectangle filled with #fff coded pixels. I'm willing to debate the potentials of AI again once they manage to do that without those "benchmarks" getting special attention in the training data.

This will either result in a full sports team or 1 daughter to repeat the romcom.

The truth about mass migration in c/[email protected]

not only about migration, about pretty much any topic. You can even agree with people about something but the moment you mention it isn't all sunshine and rainbows you get a hail of downvotes

Proton is the Future of PC gaming. But how does it work? [Gardiner Bryant, YouTube] in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

in my experience that usually boils down to the Linux version getting (an understandably) low priority compared to the windows version. Which is something that won't change until Linux has a significant market share and I can't fault the devs for it. For an example of a game where that is not the case I'd like to take Factorio, where the devs went out of their way to properly work on the Linux native version and even include Linux/Mac exclusive features for their next update. But that only happened because one of the devs themselves uses Linux.

PSA qBittorrent-nox v5.0.0 moves removed torrent data to .Trash by default in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

You apparently have little interaction with regular users because one of the top problems a non-power user has is "oops I accidentally hit delete on this important file I don't have a backup of".

Not saying qbittorrent-nox of all things switching makes a ton of sense but at least for desktop applications there is a very good reason why deleting things becomes a two step process.

[META] Survey Results (bookwormstory.social)
 

I've let the survey run for long enough now I suppose (at least I'm not getting any new responses) so I'm making this post with the "results". If anyone is interested in the raw data I'll post it but for now I'll just focus on the conclusion I've drawn from it.

For the most part responses only varied slightly but most of the questions were only there to help make a decision about the core question: What do you want to happen with this instance now?. The responses to which varied a lot compared to the other questions.

There were some votes against opening up the instance to other series discussions but I myself and the majority of votes are in favor so that's what will happen. However I really dislike seeing empty discussion threads so there will be some rules in place so this doesn't end up like a spam machine. As is with all things in life these are subject to change.

#1: There must be at least 3 users interested in regular discussions for a series to create a community for it here. There should be some regular volume of discussion for the series and 3 core users should facilitate that.

Note: If there already are discussion or fan art posts for a series on the Fediverse feel free to provide some of them to show that the newly created community would not just rot in a corner.

#2: If the series does not have weekly chapters there should be some form of plan for how to structure this so there is regular activity.

There is little sense in using a community only for volume discussions and nothing else those could just as well take place in [email protected]. As such there should at least be some discussion in between volumes (discussions about characters, fan art, whatever really)

Note: If the series does not release on J-Novel Club please be aware that @[email protected] will be unable to automatically create posts for it. In those cases threads need to be manually created every week.

If anyone is interested in a series and thinks they can meet these 2 rules please message me either here or via Matrix (@neshura:neshweb.chat) so we can discuss the details.

Additionally I'll post a list of links to any volume or chapter/part discussion threads to the weekly thread over at [email protected]. It's something I should have done with the PrePub discussions for Ascendance of a Bookworm as well but I didn't think of it until now.

Got this little gem today so might as well share it with you all. I really like how they did her hair, that's some 10/10 work right there imo.

[META] Future of the Instance (bookwormstory.social)
 

cross-posted from: https://bookwormstory.social/post/2360045

Before I get into this I apologize for giving you all a heart attack. Actually no, I know what I am doing with that title, suffer!

Unfortunately the main story of Ascendance of a Bookworm released its last Pre-Pub chapter last week and with it a stop to the very regular weekly discussion threads. Obviously we will have Side Stories to look forward to, however those won't provide nearly the same regularity as the main story did.

Up until now the Pre-Pub threads have been the main driver behind activity on the instance and the closure of the story then opens the question of what will happen to this place going forward. First of all this instance will likely not be disappearing. I have my only active lemmy account on here and since I have 0 real hosting costs I have no problem keeping this going indefinitely, I also think it might be an opportunity to change things up a bit. However first and foremost this is a place for you all, not for me alone, so your opinion about what should or should not happen to this instance weigh a bit more than my own. As such I (with input from ludrol, btw thanks for always being there for me to push decisions onto) have compiled a survey about that topic. Do feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments as well though.

With that out of the way I'd like to express a sincere thanks for all the fun discussions we've had here so far, I genuinely enjoyed every moment of them and look forward to more of them.

[Meta] Admins (not mods) here are already swinging around the content-removal-hammer (bookwormstory.social)

Check the modlog for proof, a discussion post about moving this instance to an instance that shan't be named now got removed for "linking to instance featuring pedo content".

Ironically that exact possibility was reason for the discussion in the first place so seeing it happen this quickly is a bit funny.

Not sure how best to go about linking to said instance since it seems to get your content removed. DM's would be the only solution I guess but not sure if those are checked as well.

PSA: Instance Update to 0.19 on Wednesday (bookwormstory.social)
 

The initial hiccups with Federation seem to be resolved with 0.19.1-rc.1. Since I also managed to test the new Version of the Mestionora Bot (it should now actually post Part 2 and Part 3 Manga discussions in parallel instead of only Part 3, hooray) I will update the instance after PrePub discussions die down a bit.

Expected Timeframe is Wednesday 16:00 UTC - Wednesday 18:00 UTC.

During the Update changes to the expected downtime can be checked on status.bookwormstory.social.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask away.
