I used to run links.dartboard.social, but decided it was too much work for a single user instance.

I microblog at @knova@lostcreek.social.

  • Fallout: New Vegas Remaster Hopes Go Into Overdrive as Support Studio Drops Tease

    Jump

  • yeah, as someone who just played through New Vegas again due to S2 of the show, it would have to be some serious quality of life changes to make me shell out for it again.

    I have never played FO3 though and im putting my hope capital into willing that into existence

  • Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products, making Amazon richer

    Jump

  • yes, always disappointing when this happens, but you can usually find vendors who avoid the practice (with some trial and error).

  • Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon

    Jump

  • Sure, in the same way there is nothing stopping Lemmy from using ATProto. The problem is all competing standards and what the developer chooses to use.

    Jump

  • This has been my play since last February. In some ways it sucks, because Amazon really cornered the market on niche solutions to niche problems. However, when there is something I absolutely need I try to look for a local solution and if I can't find that, I use eBay. By no means a perfect solution (ie. a lot of the eBay vendors still use Amazon to fulfill their shipments) but my mindset shifted from "oh yeah go on Amazon and press Buy Now immediately" to really working through a solution, and whether or not I need to purchase an item to enact that solution.

  • Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon

    Jump

  • One benefit is that Signal controls all the infrastructure and some people do not like that. Sure, you could also spin up a Matrix home server, but that isn’t an ideal solution for everyone either. Some people want to do messaging via their existing ActivityPub infrastructure and that’s OK.

  • Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon

    Jump

  • You cannot, two totally different protocols

  • Valve confirms Steam Machine will be priced ‘like a PC with the same level of performance’

    Jump

  • What kind of performance are you getting with that? Wondering if I can pick up something like that to play some 2d platformers, maybe some low poly 3D stuff (think Overcooked or Moving Out). Been doing more of that stuff in my living room with my kids.

  • Americans with six-figure incomes are in 'survival mode'

    Jump

  • You’ve nailed my family’s experience as well. I’m a sole earner, high COL area, student debt, groceries and other bills going up.

  • Preserving Play: How Eden Grew Into the Switch Emulator Everyone’s Talking About (my interview with the devs)

    Jump

  • I’d love for you to explain why you think a self hosted Codeberg is problematic and implies they don’t know how to use git.

  • My experience with Discord on Linux

  • I believe the audio streaming issue on flatpak is resolved as of a month or two ago. But I’m typically with you, system packages for the most up to date experience in most cases.

  • John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed

    Jump

  • Yes, but it’s not relevant to the point I was making

  • John Oliver promoted alternatives to big tech in last night's episode, including Mastodon and Pixelfed

    Jump

  • Intentionally, I think.

  • Stock photo for the Fediverse by Elena Rossini

    Jump

  • She has been a good evangelist for the fediverse, IMO, based on my reading of her posts on Mastodon the last couple months.

  • Open source alternatives to Instagram, TikTok, and WhatsApp raise funds on Kickstarter | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • BlueSky is another corporate microblog platform, which could end up going the way of Twitter. I'm not saying it will be bought by a fascist billionaire, but they will be beholden to advertisers at some point in the near future.

    I would highly recommend finding a Mastodon, Akkoma, or GoToSocial instance that aligns with your values and use that instead. If you are concerned about the network effects of not being on the 'biggest' platform where all the celebs are, there is a Bluesky->Mastodon bridge available.

  • Wouldn’t the state have to present its case for each charge? Like wouldn’t presenting evidence and testimony to show its murder 1 undermine a murder 2 charge?
