For Matrix on android, I use Shildichat. Works great, very boiler plate UI and it keeps things simple. I will admit Element for everything else is fine… Enough.

Keep us posted on how Fluxer handles, I read their website/github and it looked fairly undercooked and their documentation needs help. The app probably works fine and the main host is likely in for a shock when with the flood of new users and I worry about them, it looks promising.

Lower 48 here, I make sure all the appropriate TVs at work (news channels) are set to Curling. Its the best winter olympics sport to watch. Firstly, because I can follow it. Secondly, because its players are frumpy dads showing the upmost concentration, not the herculean athletes blowing out the events condom supply. I find it relatable, and magical, those people are physics wizards, and I dont know how they do those that with shuffleboard on ice

IIRC there are fortresses in both, but obviosuly the yellow zones are more popular, for that exact reason (it is gear capped, so the impact of rich players is minimized)
- Comment on EVE Online - the Ikitursa Haeav Assault Cruiser helping clear out a wormhole 2 weeks ago:
Albions new FW is even more blobfest, but its much more objective and seige oriented after the update. Both games made a fast travel method for players to get to the front, and the timing is more like the alert system from planetside 2. Overall its a big improvment, you can expirence the big battles that the outlands are famous for, but there are no shot callers and people respawn if they get into the zone in time.
EvEs frontlines are very similar, but without a dramatic fight scheduled every 2 hours.

I feel this in my space bones. Been in space since 2013 and can functionally do everything, burnt out in 0.0 about 6 years ago, but keep my sub up and occasionally do the solo roam when I fancy shitting in the space chereeos of my old targets.
Gave albion more than a fair shake and will return every few months, I enjoy the routine of the player housing there and the new FW is a nice change of pace.
EvE still holds a special place for me, but I really disconnected when I left reddit. The shitposting and memes of the subreddit really was the pulse of that game for me, I only wish the fediverse could have such activity, it really kept me connected

Nice, Ive only flown that ship a few times, it feels much to similar to the Orthrus after it was released. Space Lambo that only really shines after you throw money at its fit.
Something too nice to drive for serious business, perfect for messing around in safe space with the nerd herd.

Pretty, that ship is a monster in the right hands.
How do you fit it for WH life?

The problem is not that someone did that, its that there are two of them…

Its the secret to cooking for guests. Everyone is like “wow, your an amazing home-chef”, and im just hoping noone notices the entire diced onion and minced garlic I carelessly threw into the meal.

Best buy has been on my “one-bad-black-friday bankrupsy” bet for years, yet they seemed to have survived the death of Sears, Radioshack, Circuit City, and Frys Electronics…
For me, as a customer, they are the shop of last resort. I will go literally anywhere else because they will likely have the thing, but no specific models. If you need an SSD, RAM (lol no in todays market) or a cable they will likely have it, but its going to be a smaller range than Microcenter, if time is no object, just order exactly what you need.
The thing I will give them credit for is keeping the home theatre market, I feel that only a fool will buy a TV without physically looking at it first (they turn the blue up, just an FYI).
- Comment on Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification" 2 months ago:
Avoiding slopification seems to be the main priority, and you would have to have the AI be incorporated into a game it would have to do something that AI is already passable at, otherwise it wont pass that barrier and will get shunned like the rest of the slop.
For example, you could have an LLM act as a character or have a neural net incorporated into the game-ai like how tool assisted DOTA2 competitions work.
I see three main problems, first is that you would need the hardware to run it locally, which may be a hard sell to some people depending on what the game it is, only online expirenes should endebt themselves to AWS, if its single player, its going to lose a ton of sales there. Two, its really hard to convince audiences electrons have feelings, remember Final Fantasy (2001)? Thats what happened last time someone tried to personify a digital construct, and well… It went swimmingly (Microsofts Tay, does not count). Lastly, impact, would a narrative focused title have the same impact of an AI wrote the script? How would you feel after playing through a title like “Papers, please” and when the credits roll it says “script generated by CoPilot”? I feel like it would ring hollow, the feelings would be cheapened by it…
I would be interested to see how this plays out, but im content to support the titles and studios that do things the traditional way.
- Comment on Tis the Season To Get Trampled 2 months ago:
Im very thankful that it appears this chapter of consumerist history is over. Last entry on Black Friday Death Count was from 2021 and I was going past my big local mall and I saw tons of parking. In past years that place was a zoo, but today, slightly more crowded than normal, but nothing dangerous.

I did the green bean casarolle this year and also have been asked to double the roaster carrots next year. I dont even like roasted carrots, but sure, people seem to like em.
- Comment on Why do some people make such a big deal over ages of someone's account on here? 2 months ago:
A bit of internet history, account age was a measure of clout on Slashdot.org. Your account ID was posted as part of your replies, so the lower the number, the longer you have been on the site.
Mine personally is in the 1.3M range, and I still read the site and I still see users posting on accounts as low as 500k ID, those have been around since the late 90s.
The site is just a news agrigator at this point with a comment section full of boomers and greybeards (sys admins that probably should consider retiring), but its been my home page for ~20 years and I have no intention of changing that.

The thing is that with W10 going EOL, everyone is going to be forced to learn a new OS, regardless if they want to or not (W11has been out for years, if you havent jumped, there is likely a reason). Lemmy users being the socially concious crusaders that they are, are encouraging people to make a better choice than defaulting to Windows again (given all its very real issues of useability and data harcesting).
Not having access to preditory games due to self-imposed tech limitations isnt high on the list of reasons to choose linux, but its good shitpost material.
