Oh damn, that’s awesome! Very much a reversal of how it has been going lately with other gaming websites.

edit: OK now that you say it, I do remember hearing something about this. I must have forgotten. I listen to Aftermath’s podcast and probably heard it there. https://aftermath.site/podcasts/giant-bomb-fandom-sale-independent-media/

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.

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.)

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

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.

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?

No, but it does have three antennas, which you can position to form The Trident of Portseidon.

Thank you! That’s too bad.

That’s interesting, I’ll try to learn more about that.

So, in this case, the community I was trying to post to was !vinyl@lemmy.world. There is also a user with that name on lemmy.world. If I search “vinyl@lemmy.world” on Mastodon, does that mean both of them should show up? And what would their names be? One would start with ! and the other start with @?

I think that’s just a way of getting a link to the community, but it doesn’t actually tag the community in your post or make it get posted into that community. I just tried it, and the post does not show up in the community that I mentioned with !.

I find that it’s good enough for things like the main menu or the pause menu. But I don’t find it usable if I’m having to accurately click something while gameplay is happening. And if I want to minimize the game and look something up on the web, it’ll take me five attempts to click a link with it.

Oh cool, glad to know that Returnal takes advantage of it. I don’t have any games that take advantage of the haptics right now, but I’ve been wanting to try one. And I was already wanting to check out Returnal at some point.

I have a Sony Dualsense controller and haven’t had any problems with it as a game controller. However, I’m always launching games through Steam, or letting Steam run in the background (so that it’s handling the controller input remapping). I don’t know if that’s what you plan on doing; I’ve never tried it without Steam handling the inputs.

My one complaint about it is that the trackpad isn’t good enough to use as a mouse when you’re navigating the desktop. So I ended up switching back to my original Steam controller.

Seeing major projects move away from GitHub is so encouraging, I love it. But hopefully people also see that codeberg can use some donations to be able to handle the new traffic. (Which reminds me, I need to do that…)

I haven’t been to one that uses cards, but I would prefer tokens or actual coins over the card. The only arcade near me is a bar arcade, and all of the machines take quarters. I love it.

The only one I’ve tried before is Wekan. I’m not a heavy kanban user, I just basically wanted to put sticky notes in columns, and it worked for that. Looks like it has the features you’re needing, though. There’s read-only demo here: https://boards.wekan.team/b/D2SzJKZDS4Z48yeQH/wekan-open-source-kanban-board-with-mit-license

It looks fairly mobile-friendly, and I think they have Android and iOS apps, too.

We need a six-fingered version of this image. I’m guessing it’ll get a lot of use next year.

Same here. I’m the only user of my services, so if I try visiting the website and it’s down, that’s how I know it’s down.

I prefer phrasing it differently, though. “With my current uptime monitoring strategy, all endpoints serve as an on-demand healthcheck endpoint.”

One legitimate thing I do, though, is have a systemd service that starts each docker compose file. If a container crashes, systemd will notice (I think it keeps an eye on the PIDs automatically) and restart them.

Thanks, this is a great explanation. I’ll try doing &> /dev/null & tomorrow. I’d like to find the simplest version of this for recommending to other people.

Thanks for the suggestion; I tried both of these things and they do hide the output, but it doesn’t make the post-receive script actually exit early. So git push still takes a while to finish.
