Big fan of SBC gaming, open source engine recreations/source ports, gaming in general, alternative operating systems, and all things modding.

I am still using Lemmy but have been using it intermittently for about a year now. If you have questions or concerns about a community I am moderating please send me a message and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

  • Tangentially related but I was browsing the list of Steam curators and I was surprised by how many of them are dedicated to discouraging people from buying games from specific countries.

  • That's how I ended up with so many games in my backlog

  • Are you looking for a percentage amount or a dollar amount? Which would seem more appealing?

  • It reminds me a bit of Garmin acquiring Pebble and discontinuing support. This does sound significantly worse though

  • OP is expecting the deletion of posts and comments to federate in the same ways posting them would. I don't think they're necessarily going scorched earth and care about someone quoting their comment in a reply or resharing a photo.

    I think that's a bit grandiose of a stance. If I misread what someone said or realized someone already said what I did I don't think deleting it leads to any kind of growth.

    That's setting aside how draining it can be to reply to several people who are making the same argument about how you are wrong. If I couldn't delete what I posted at that point I would just be creating a slew of edits to justify myself like people regularly do on Reddit whenever they get downvoted.

  • But that's not what is being talked about. I don't think OP is expecting an all or nothing situation. You're talking like you've never deleted anything online

  • But deleting stuff is an easy way to limit the amount of potential viewers.

    Most people aren't going to put in the effort. If OP's account deletion spreads across most of Lemmy, even just the larger instances, most people aren't going to see their older posts.

    That seems to be what OP is after. More in line with hiding poorly written Doctor Who fan fiction than hiding from the government in the woods.

  • I thought your post said games for a second there and was excited to hear about synthwave games

  • It depends on what you want to emulate and if emulation is your primary concern. There are a lot of handheld emulators out there that are cheaper and can offer a smoother experience thanks to their custom firmware.

    If you are looking for something to primarily play a specific console like GBA/DS or want to play less demanding consoles like PSX and below I'd say there are better options.

  • Does it in anyway phrase the question to reference real hardware or original versions?

    I feel like a lot of people emulate (including using Nintendo Switch Online) or play modernized remixes of titles like Super Mario 99

  • Don't you think that's shifting the goalpost a bit? OP isn't talking about something being archived they're talking about a piece of content on social media still directly linking to that username.

    Deleting things in as many places as possible making it harder to access is still a net positive.

    It's about as much of a part or mechanic of Lemmy as posting is.

  • Is there a chance that Arch says that so they don't have to take on the responsibility of endorsing yay while also acknowledging its prevalence?

    Like if Nintendo made a statement saying they recommend against third party mods or repairs that deal with joycon stick drift because they don't want to be held accountable or contacted about issues consumers run into a result of them.

  • Paying close attention to news feeds is something I wish I did when I ran Manjaro.

  • Any reason you would recommend Slackware specifically?

    I've watched a few Youtube videos on the history of it and the advantages of it but I don't recall much. It seemed like a lot of people who had used Slackware a long time ago simply continuing to use Slackware and people using at as a learning tool because of how user involved it is.


    Would you recommend people start with Slackware itself or a Slackware-based distro?

  • It does. It gives you this message

    -> Avoid running yay as root/sudo.

    I only ran Debian and Ubuntu based distros up until that point so I thought you always needed to install packages using sudo.

    I am pretty sure I ignored the warning initially because the first couple packages I tried to install with sudo and yay worked.

    This was a while ago.

  • It doesn’t hurt to have the LTS kernel installed as a backup option (assuming you use the standard kernel as your chosen default) in case you update to a newer kernel version and a driver here or there breaks.

    I had a similar issue that was resolved by swapping to the LTS kernel. Learning about using a bootable Arch USB and chrooting into your install to make repairs would be a good thing for OP to know
