  • Pick-up line for Ancient Egyptians

    Jump

  • I believe this is the Unicode:

    𓄤𓆑𓐰𓂋𓅱𓐴𓏭𓄖𓎡𓐰𓏭

    Unfortunately the joiners don't seem to be supported on most devices.

  • The Egyptian afterlife rocks

    Jump

  • I guess that explains the inspiration behind surf_egypt.

  • The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft

    Jump

  • Rant - it's always frustrating to see people considering 38k monthly active users as "no users"

    Jump

  • The "you" was meant to be a more general you, rather than you specifically, although my point is the same. Launching a social media site is a herculean task, and requires the effort (or funding) to match. Its up to those trying to establish the platform to put in the effort, not the ones we're trying to "sell" to, and insulting or blaming them just makes us look like assholes.

    Jump

  • I mean, for something that is meant to provide cotent for near-every niche or interest out there, it is nearly nothing. On Reddit, both Dota2 and War Thunder are more than half-way there every week, and those are both niche, and not particularly topical. Frankly, for the average user, Lemmy doesn't have enough content to be relevant.

    Dont get me wrong, I'm still here and still hopeful for the Fediverse's success but blaming the user and pretenting the problems don't exist isn't helping the problem, and instead just makes us look like elitists and assholes. We're the ones trying to make a product for them, not the other way around. If you want the platform to be appealing to standard users, stop whining, and start posting more or otherwise contributing more to the platorm.

  • The USAF Worships the Machine God

    Jump

  • Seems to be this image, but upscaled.

    That said, unclear who did the upscaling, be it OP, the host website, or the original photographer.

  • The shiny one!

    Jump

  • The Six Stages of Code Grief

    Jump

  • Yeah, that was a fun job... at least the database tended to have some descriptive column names. They never lined up with the entity they mapped to, but it was better than nothing.

  • Coca cola is making a pure AI ad

    Jump

  • Because it would be very funny.

  • Coca cola is making a pure AI ad

    Jump

  • So, legally, since AI output is public domain, Pepsi (or someone else) could theoretically take this trailer and replace all the Coke logos with Pepsi, and then republish it as theirs, couldn't they?

  • Android games that are actually good? (looking for recommendations)

    Jump

  • Generally, the best options are ports of PC games. Things like Slay the Spire, Balatro, Mini Metro, Terraria, BaBa is You, or Stardew Valley. Not as cheap, but worth the price tag.

    A couple of my favorite free options:

    Unciv - Its an attempt at recreating Civ. It's got a lot of issues, such as lacking a lot of the more in-depth mechanics and having terrible world-gen, but its also free.

    Vampire Survivors - a fairly simple but content-rich arcade game, reminiscent of old flash games.

    Super Auto Pets - and autobattler like autochess but stripped down to its fundamentals making it easy to get in to, and easy to play in short bursts

  • It looks like Valve Anti-Cheat for Deadlock is improving, with no kernel-level snooping without your consent

    Jump

  • Was it actually announced? I thought it was just the subreddit kicking up a fuss with little evidence to back up their claims.

  • For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?

    Jump

  • It has been a little while since I last played it, but I found that scale-wise, it felt small (I'm guessing this is what you mean) with major locations too close together, but content-wise, it felt sparse, empty and ultimately pretty boring, which was the much bigger issue in my enjoyment.

  • For those of you who enjoy open-world games, how big of a world is too big?

    Jump

  • Basically, how much of the world is interesting/fun.

    For example, Fallout 3 doesn't do a great job of this, as much of the world is baren with no story or gameplay. Half of the world feels like it could be cut out without much loss. The Yakuza games on the other hand, have smaller worlds but they feel massive and fun because there's always something to do moments away.

    The work-around is to make travel fun, so the "empty-space" is just more gameplay. The Just Cause games are the perfect example of this. All the movement mechanics are quick and satisfying, from the grapple and parachute, to the driving, to the OP wingsuit.

  • When you're the type of person who commits.

  • I only see like 45 books here. Isn't he missing half of them?

  • What do you still use reddit for?

    Jump

  • Nope, voting counts too, so a lot of lurkers are included.

  • Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program?

    Jump

  • Erm, it looks to me that there is a project to make them work on Linux: https://openrazer.github.io/.

    It only covers the absolute basics. Not even button rebinding.

    Also... TBH if a mouse doesn't work on Linux that kind of makes it a bad mouse, IMO. I would just get a different mouse if it was an actual issue. It's not like it's a mechanical keyboard or something.

    I mean, even ignoring that, its pretty bad. Doesn't even have on-board memory. Unfortunately, its what I'm stuck with, given that I can't afford a new one.

  • Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately not. Theres some tools for the RGB, or one-off tweaks like changing DPI and polling rate in the UI, but nothing that offers button rebinding, nonetheless profile control.

  • Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program?

    Jump

  • OpenRazer unfortunately doesn't support rebinding buttons.
