Imagine if the #asteroid that entered our atmosphere (now a #meteor ) over Northern Luzon in the #Philippines was not detected prior, and thus no announcements were made…

  • China is attacking us! + Mass hysteria. + Panic buying.
  • The Aliens are here!
  • It's the Second Coming! It's the end of the world!

@[email protected] That's a very good question! Sadly, I haven't received the update on Android yet. T_T

Good thing you mentioned it, I'll pay attention to that once I get the latest beta update from our region.

Finally, #Mozilla #Firefox for #Linux scales correctly depending on the OS setting instead of it being huge. This had been an issue since they removed the “Density: Compact” option.

version: 131.0b1

Now: Screenshot of Mozilla Firefox v131.0b1 in Linux, showing how it finally scales properly based on the OS setting instead of it being huge.

Because there must be bugs. It's a feature. ^_~

@BrikoX

> The ability to opt-out of quote posts is also currently planned, which makes it that Mastodon’s implementation will not be compatible with other fediverse implementations of quote posting.

Not surprising. Even before ActivityPub was announced, when the #fediverse was still powered by #OStatus, Mastodon was already breaking compatibility. There were countless of heated debates about almost every Mastodon-only "feature" they implemented that all other Fediverse devs were _forced_ to implement.

And here we are with yet another.

I wonder what will supporters of opt-out or anti-quotepost camp will do if the other Fediverse devs ignore this Mastodon-only "feature", and just continue with the common implementation of quote posts? Are we going to see a new reason for "fediblock", and finally fragment the Fediverse network?

A game I recently started playing is ToME or Tales of Maj'Eyal. It is a roguelike singleplayer game.

It has been around since 2010, but it goes all the way back if we count its predecessors. It is also an open-source game.

As of this post:
* There are already 3 expansions.
* The 4th expansion is set to enter beta testing soon.
* The 5th expansion is already being developed in parallel.

Give it a try, available in Linux, Windows, and OSX. (Also available via Steam.)

Check the official website for screenshots, videos, and more information!

A bit of history based on what I was able to find:
* Originally named: Tales of Middle-Earth: The Fourth Age. Set 122 years after the fall of Sauron.
* In 2010-11-21, the game setting was changed entirely into a new one. See: https://te4.org/news?page=27
* Its predecessor was “Tales of Middle Earth”. See: https://www.t-o-m-e.net

Does the #Philippines really need to allow foreign schools to open branches in the country or own existing institutions? A lot of foreigners are coming here for better education. They wouldn't if our #education is as bad as supporters of the move paints it to be.

The way I see it, the problem is the half-baked #K12 education. It was only the first step. The next step is overhauling the entire curriculum, but they never did that.

@trashgirlfriend Ooh. I like that! It could be a widget too for easy access.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

@hornedfiend @schamppu I think the game is set to medium sensitivity, or Low. There are some fitness apps with a sensitivity setting, and if you place it high, it is more accurate. The problem arises if you're just moving your phone, since it's high sensitivity, it counts those as steps. So, most apps have it at medium or Low. That's my guess at least.

@commander_la_freak @emeralddawn45

That's a new way to explain it, “frame rate”.

Most #scifi that touches on #ParallelWorlds and #TimeTravel use some sort of vibration or frequency. Even in the 90s Japanese #anime entitled #SerialExperimentsLain, it used the Schumann resonance to explain its plot. And of course in #Marvel and #DC they do the same.

But, yeah, I'm not sure either about it. Is there a way to find out which author/writer first thought of this idea? Or, was it based on a real-life theory that scifi authors picked-up independently? Or, was it Star Trek that created this approach?

(And again, that frame rate approach is great. ^_^)

In #ToEveryYouIveLovedBefore (#僕が愛したすべての君へ) #anime #film, it posited that there are small “parallel shifts” that we don't notice. Say, you placed your keys on top of a drawer, the next moment it's not there; then it's back.

But I do notice it! :p

I've also been calling it “parallel shift” since I became aware of my own shifts in the 90s!

I even did experiments to somehow influence my shifts, or to force it. Little success. I mean, like 1 out of 10 attempts. ;)

@sub_ Yep, I'm using #Exult. I find it easier than regular #DOSBox. I used the files installed by GOG for Exult Linux. And true, I like the QoL features they added!

@Lunar Ahh! Fable, Fallout, and Witcher! I miss those too. Hmm, I think they're on winter sale, I might be able to grab them as well. ^_^;;

This year, I bought the entire packs/bundles of #DnD #DOS classics via #Steam as well as #Ultima 1 to 7 via #GOG.

The last time I played most of these were from 1988 to 1996. One or two I played again sometime early 2000s, randomly.

I already started with #ChampionsOfKrynn and #Ultima7 Part 1, and I'm already cheating. ROFL. I mean, the packs made it easy to cheat.

Back in the 90s, we had to use a hex editor like #PCtools. We open the savegame file, search through it through the hex editor, and did our magic.

@RookieNerd @fediverse

Do not recommend one software and/or one instance.

Using your scenario, would you recommend photography instances based on #Mastodon knowing Mastodon only allows up to 4 “attached” images? Not only that, Mastodon will only display 4 images even if there are more than that?

Or, are you going to recommend #Pixelfed designed for images. Or, maybe #Firefish, #Friendica, #Hubzilla, #Streams, which all allow more than 4 images and will display all the images even if it exceeds their software's attach limit?

Quite frankly, in my opinion, with the image display alone, Mastodon is highly not recommended. So, the number of users and instances Mastodon have does not make it the best #Fediverse software, as you have mentioned earlier, “Mastodon is the level of UX other projects should aim to”. It's not.

The best approach is we understand what the user needs and suggest to them the appropriate software and instances that will suit their needs.

Let's forget about the Fediverse for a while.

We have to remember that not everyone is on Twitter or Facebook. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of individuals who only have an Instagram account. Why? They don't need Twitter and Facebook.

In Korea, for example, they have their own culture and platforms for communication Twitter/Facebook-like, so they don't need those. But many of them have Instagram accounts.

Now, let's go back to the Fediverse.

If those are the users we are reaching out to, then there should be no problem recommending Pixelfed. Because for these target market, their only concern and type of use is to share, well, photos or their latest digital artwork. They don't care about a Twitter/Facebook-like experience or use.

That brings us back to the features of #ActivityPub. It is an “added benefit”.

  1. Users who want to follow this content creator can do so using their existing account.

Okay, you can't do this with #Lemmy, the last time I checked, however, you can do it with #Kbin. That's a Lemmy limitation, not the fediverse.

  1. For the content creator who migrated to the fediverse, in particular, Pixelfed in our scenario, they have a greater reach because they're federated.

(Extra: You can actually turn Pixelfed into a regular Twitter-like software if you are using the web UI. Although, last time I heard it will be removed eventually.)

(Extra 2: BookWyrm also allows Twitter-like feeds and interaction, it's not restricted to just books.)

@Chrishering33 Welcome to the #Fediverse network kabayan!

Here is my list.

Notes:
* These are not #Mastodon-only accounts, this is a mix list from #Calckey, #BookWyrm, #Pixelfed, #Hubzilla, and other Fediverse software and servers.
* You can follow any of these from your own server as long as they are not blocking each other. You don't need to create an account on the other servers if all you want is to interact or follow.
* This is not a comprehensive list. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of Filipinos on the fediverse network.
* Hyphenised to avoid mass tagging. Just remove the hyphen or convert to URL format.

Oldest, active, and largest groups/communities (in no particular order):
* @[email protected]
* @[email protected]

Other groups (thematic, etc.)
* @[email protected]
* There is a cycling group, but I seem to have forgotten to add it on my private list.
