- Comment on Indie games using retro graphics 1 week ago:
I need to mention the Enigma Trilogy here. It uses the retro graphics so well to its advantage to create a strong horror atmosphere that I don’t think could have been done anywhere near as well with high fidelity graphics.
And it has a very small audience and definitely deserves a lot more so go check these games out! store.steampowered.com/…/THE_ENIGMA_TRILOGY/
- Comment on Concurrency models of Rust and Golang 1 week ago:
I’m talking about the text in the “The problem with async” section in the article you linked in the OP.
- Comment on Concurrency models of Rust and Golang 1 week ago:
Can we stop referring to the “what color is your function” post for languages it doesn’t apply for? Contrary to Javascript (where it does apply), Rust with tokio has adapters for both async -> sync (Runtime::spawn_blocking) and sync -> async (Runtime::block_on). It probably isn’t a good idea to overuse spawn_blocking but calling an async function from a sync one is literally no problem.
- Comment on OpenAI Insider Estimates 70 Percent Chance That AI Will Destroy or Catastrophically Harm Humanity 3 weeks ago:
I mean I give it a 100% chance if they keep going like this considering the enormous energy and water consumption, essentially slave labor to classify data for training because it’s such a huge amount that it would never be financially viable to fairly pay people, and end result which is to fill the internet with garbage.
You really don’t need to be an insider to see that.
- Comment on Team Fortress 2 3 weeks ago:
I played so much TF2 from probably around 2014 until the dreadful matchmaking update. Still played a bit afterwards but not nearly as much. By far the most I’ve played Spy and Engineer, always liked them because they were the most unique. Scout after that.

I mean same, but I’d still like to have lossless audio regardless :P

Maybe you should make them a blood sacrifice more often?

The Music client for Mac is still an excellent music manager and player despite how visibly much they’ve let it bitrot* since it was iTunes. It’s a shame neither the mobile app nor the web client has anywhere near the capabilities.
* for example, what the fuck is that stupid unresizable header that takes up half the window with mostly empty space and doesn’t scroll off the screen anymore if you set a playlist view to “as Songs”

It is to be noted that while iTunes is DRM-free at this point (which is very nice and surprised me when I found out) it is unfortunately still lossy compressed audio which the perfectionist in me really doesn’t like :P
Come on Apple, sell me your funny ALAC

What a coincidence, I have the picture on the right in my images folder.
- Comment on MFA 2 months ago:
Yubikey is only really useful for authentication with a trusted party, and not decryption. You can technically use store a secret key on it but then its two biggest advantages are gone, namely that you can’t copy the key and that it doesn’t use the limited storage on the device.
- Comment on Hey Lemmy, what do you think of my new Wallpaper? 2 months ago:
Set to stretch for the extra crusty look (and because it was cut off otherwise).
- Comment on Hey Lemmy, what do you think of my new Wallpaper? 2 months ago:
I should put that on my Mac.
- Comment on Apple doesn't put the identifier in the Passkey, so when storing multiple ones you don't know which one is related to which Apple ID.. 2 months ago:
Sure, one main key, one backup key, and probably like two years’ tax documents worth of paper (if you do print every one on a separate piece of paper which is kind of a waste)
- Comment on Apple doesn't put the identifier in the Passkey, so when storing multiple ones you don't know which one is related to which Apple ID.. 2 months ago:
This is why you should have a spare key in case you lose your main one and print out your recovery keys.
Mine is on my keychain so if I lose that, I have bigger problems than getting back into my accounts.

I’m currently playing The Excavation of Hob’s Barrow. Very good so far.
- Comment on What is the strangest thing that you ever experienced? 4 months ago:
Woke up with vertigo. Had to basically lay there with my eyes closed not moving for probably 10 minutes because every tiny movement felt like I was gonna throw up.

- Comment on Game genres where "It's just more X content" is more than enough 5 months ago:
Thief: The Dark Project and Thief II: The Metal Age. Luckily, people are still making amazing fan missions and entire campaigns for both entries in the franchise after over 20 years. That’s probably the best outcome a commercial game can have…
- Comment on But my WiFi is just fine! 9 months ago:
Ah okay, didn’t know that does it differently since I’ve never touched it. Makes me wonder why they used UDP for it but didn’t use it in the Java protocol yet.
- Comment on But my WiFi is just fine! 9 months ago:
Unless it’s changed in the past year which I doubt, Minecraft exclusively uses TCP for client/server communication. I’ve been modding the game for years and am pretty familiar with the protocol. I think it’s actually one of the few which don’t use UDP to some capacity.
