  • Can you touch type?

    Jump

  • Yes, qwerty and Dvorak, although I have to guess and check with some special characters on Dvorak. I have an unlabeled Dvorak keyboard at work (this guy right here), but I only physically go in to the office once every few weeks nowadays, and I'm starting to forget where some of the symbols are.

  • What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?

    Jump

  • I forgot that song was in it. Ok, now I have to watch it again.

    Jump

  • I remember wanting to watch this at some point, but I think I got it confused with The Orville. I should check it out again.

    1. Big Fan, a movie about an obsessive football fan, starring Patton Oswalt. I only saw it once, when it first came out (2009), but remember thinking that it was really good. A very prescient, dark comedy about a certain type of guy that is very relevant today. It made $230,000 in theaters according to Wikipedia.
    2. Unreal 2, and specifically just the multiplayer. Unreal 2 was a pretty disappointing sequel, and it didn't even have multiplayer when it came out. A year after its launch, they released a multiplayer addon and it was amazing. Completely overshadowed by Unreal Tournament 2004, never really had a chance of becoming popular, but it had a dedicated fan base for a while. You can get it for free now; I want to get a group together at some point.

  • I don't think it's as good as it used to be. It got acquired by Gamespot, then Gamespot was acquired by a few different private equity firms, so of course there were layoffs across all of their sites, and Gerstmann was one of them.

  • Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition out today

    Jump

  • The MS-DOS version of Rayman was the best one. All of the console versions had to cut various things from it. Lower resolution sprites, removing layers from the soundtrack, etc. The Sega Saturn was probably the closest to the MS-DOS version, and that one isn't included in this edition.

    I'm not really sure if this new $20 edition is worth it. You can get the MS-DOS version, plus the bonus levels mentioned in the blog post, for $1.50 right now. https://www.gog.com/en/game/rayman_forever

  • Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition out today

    Jump

  • Hopefully this is intended to generate interest in a new Rayman game! Rayman Origins and Rayman Legends were some of the best 2D platformers in recent years. Hell, some of the best ever, in my opinion.

    This 30th anniversary edition looks like it's basically the same thing as Rayman Forever, which is currently $1.50 on GOG. It's usually $6. https://www.gog.com/en/game/rayman_forever

    This new edition says it includes versions from 5 different consoles (missing the Saturn version though, which was a really good version), plus a "making of" video. So unless you care about seeing the differences on those consoles, I'm not sure if this new one is worth $20.

  • I'll always watch a presentation from a purple-haired cyberpunk over some bizbro with an array of asshole-shaped logos behind him.

    (Actually, her presentation about using Qt in a car UI went way over my head, so I only watched a few minutes of it. But I'm watching exactly zero minutes of anything Nadella says nowadays.)

  • [CLOSED] what fediverse services do you recommend?

    Jump

  • I chose Piefed over Lemmy since I thought the UI looked nicer. The pace of development has been really impressive lately, and for my specific instance, I've been very happy with feddit.online.

    Mastodon seems like the default answer for this question, and I do also like Mastodon. I self-host that one.

  • [CLOSED] what fediverse services do you recommend?

    Jump

  • I use it for my music server and have enjoyed it, but I haven't really used it in a "fediverse" kind of way. I'm just using it for my own music collection, for the same use case that most people would use Navidrome for.

    I disabled federation after I first set it up, because all of the sudden a bunch of podcasts showed up in languages that I don't speak, and I couldn't figure out how to hide them.

    It has been just fine as a plain old music server, though. I used it for podcasts for a while, too, but am currently switching to Pinepods, since that has more podcast-specific features that I was looking for.

  • Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?

    Jump

  • Yards are at foot scale, hence their use in football. /s

  • Anyone Have Memories Of This Game?

    Jump

  • I never actually played it, but I definitely remember it being one of the games that everyone at school was talking about.

  • Why do people who try to convince others to switch to metric focus so much on the conversions?

    Jump

  • I’ve never once had to convert feet into miles, and I can’t imagine I’m unique in this.

    100% this. Look, imperial may be silly, but some of the arguments for changing to metric are also very silly. Things are usually at a mile scale or a foot scale, and I don't really need to go between the two.

    And sure, converting between different units is convenient in metric, but how often do you have to do that? So you can easily tell me how many liters of water would be needed to fill a giant, square kilometer fish tank, but who needs to do that? What grade school math problem are you living in?

  • Felted paintbrush cases

    Jump

  • Very nice! With the leather strap holding it together, it looks like something a renaissance-era painter could've been using.

    Also I didn't know what "felting" meant before, thanks for that.

  • Systemd Founder Lennart Poettering Announces Amutable Company

    Jump

  • How does a company like this make money? Like, is it basically a consulting firm that plans to do development on core Linux features? Custom dev work that they are also able to open source? They already have quite a few employees on the about page.

  • Advice on music player devices?

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, the only open source physical media player I'm aware of is the Tangara. Their most recent blog post is from July, 2025, and mentions some tweaks they want to make before doing another production run. So there might be more units coming, but there will be a wait.

  • Bought a 3DS XL last year

    Jump

  • What a coincidence, I just saw someone playing a 3DS (not XL I think) on the train on the way home today. I haven't seen someone playing a dedicated handheld console in forever. I should've struck up a conversation about it.

    I also saw someone using an MP3 player last week. Single-purpose electronics making a small comeback this year?
