I mostly lurked on Reddit, but #3 was pretty big for me. If I needed to ask a highly specific question and get an answer from a real human, there wasn’t really any other option. Until now, hopefully.

We could have been updating our sizzle certificates all this time!
One thing I just noticed: some of the community sidebars have a blurb about the icons’ authorship and licensing, but the license link may need to be clarified. On Gaming and Technology, for example, the text of the link says CC BY 4.0, but the underlying link points to CC BY-SA 4.0.
These are fantastic. Love the honeycomb design.
Congratulations!
Seconded on PipeWire if not already installed. Also, I’m not sure what the built-in Gnome audio mixer is, but you might check installing/running pavucontrol from the command line and seeing if it allows you to select different output devices.
It’s not gun sounds, but I always thought the entire soundscape in Journey was pretty special.
Yeah Defector spun off from the old Deadspin amidst clashes with their parent company over editorial independence (among other things). Drew Magary is one of my favorite writers, so I was mostly tracking it because of him.
There’s some stuff across the Metal Gear Solid series that’s pretty memorable.
I’ve used Logical Increments for a couple builds and liked it a lot. I didn’t copy their recipe verbatim, but you get some good starting points both on compatibility and cost.
It does looks like there’s a couple edge cases missing with respect to browsing community lists. From the web UI, you can click on Communities > All, then search by community name, but I don’t think you can browse on a per-instance basis. For me at least, if I go to Community search from Beehaw, click All, and type @lemmy.ml for example, I get zero results. On the web, you can just go to lemmy.ml (or wherever) directly and look at their list, but it’s still a little tough to browse non-local communities on apps/Jerboa.
Yeah I’m really excited to see more non-Jedi stories in Star Wars. I’m hopeful that Andor created a moment where there’s space for people to explore more of the universe beyond the Jedi.
Let’s call it pending, but I’m really close to pulling the trigger on a new set of irons, probably from Callaway Preowned.
You kind of hit on the major tradeoff while thinking through it. That tight product integration (phone, watch, tablet, laptop) is a selling point for a lot of people to buy into closed tech ecosystems. It’s easy and it just works. In exchange for those seamless integrations, you kind of lock yourself in to that family of tech products. There’s also the fact that the owner of said ecosystem will happily monitor and monetize all your activity on those integrated products. Open source solutions allow you to strip out that corporate telemetry to a greater or lesser extent. You can also achieve some similar levels of product integration, but it does demand a little more effort and technical savvy from the end-user. I wouldn’t claim that one or the other choice is explicitly wrong or evil, as people have different tech needs and different amounts of skill/time to devote to this stuff. That said, I personally have tried to be more thoughtful about what I do and do not control with respect to my digital life.
I do still use Calibre on Linux, but it’s a good question. There doesn’t seem to be a strong alternative for ebook management, and it does have good plugins for DRM removal, etc.
Great to see it! I was longtime fan of r/sailing.
Mastodon was my first experiment with federated platforms, but I use that account the same way I used Twitter before: read only. Message board/forum is more my style, and I’m liking Lemmy a lot so far; the underlying concepts (both of federation generally and Lemmy specifically) seem good, and I’m excited to see further refinement.
Yeah my two finalists were Arch and Fedora. Ended up going with Arch to be on a rolling release and have maximum access to updated software/libraries.
Hunger or thirst mechanics in anything that’s not explicitly a survival game.
This is kind of where I land. I think there are some interesting conceptual elements, but having just one life and a PvP-only win condition stresses me out. I found the Plunder mode in the original Warzone to be pretty interesting, so I think there’s still room to innovate in the genre.
