Oh okay well if you’ve not had an issue then it can’t be one.

Honestly, what is wrong with the people left on lemmy, why is everyone like this. There was a few months there where you could talk and have a conversation. Then all the good people left and we just get… this.

Salf is the definition of not uniform.

Try a spoonful of table salt instead of sea salt next time and see how well that goes. In grams it does not matter.

Not with salt or anything granular. Liquid is probably fine

Sounds like NoA is getting ahead of unionization efforts to outsource QA. It’s a lose lose situation!

I gave up on cyberpunk 20 or so hours in. The lack of interesting side stories is a part of the reason why. This feels like the article is gaslighting

yes, if you want a controller that will never exhibit drift you have to find one that specifically markets itself as using hall-effect joystick assemblies. all other controllers will (eventually) exhibit stick drift.

Nope. I really can’t get behind this thinking at all. “Generic” is not a term I would ever use for vanillaware titles. They put so much detail and thought into every brush stroke. It’s unreal.

I do believe the days of PlayStation and Xbox are probably numbered. Though atleast one or two more generations are still likey.

I’ve been reading this statement for the past 20 years.

this is a fairly broad question, so I’ll ignore it and just use it as an excuse to bring up my three favourite ports of the past few years - which just happen to be M2 ported sega games

• Outrun: 60fps outrun on a nice display. Doesn’t have the cd arrangements of the saturn version but outrun doesn’t really need that, and man it’s just fun to play
• Virtua Racing: oooh geez, virtua racing has never looked this good before. silky smooth 60fps port running at HD. the game is still the same it ever was, nothing added. but it’s really a joy to play now
• Phantasy Star 1: it’s a shame the other games didn’t get the treatment the first one did, but the quality of life improvements make this the default choice for playing Phantasy Star now. dungeon mapping so you can figure out where you are without a guide and easy access to manual stuff, great time.

The answer that the status service websites will tell you: we automatically detect outages by performing http requests and checking responses for errors

the actual answer: some overworked developer gets woken up at 3am via pagerduty and manually set the status website to an outage state

No. But not because of AI. There’s currently hundreds of thousands of out of work people surrounding tech. You’re competing with them for every job.

Even then, most of engineering isn’t in the nuts and bolts of putting it together. It’s in the endless discussions and decisions that lead to the nuts and bolts.

This “no mans land” you speak of is probably 99.999% of home assistant users. Managing docker is not something that most people want to do or know about.

I feel like this is a very modern problem with the community. I’ve been in open source for a long time, I’ve been employed by some of these companies to write open source things.

Most open source stuff was created by someone who was employed to write that open source thing. There are exceptions, of course, but most things came about because of a need, and that need is often related to work. Companies used to be a lot better with allowing open sourcing of components.

Then, there are all the community contributions that come from commercial reasons. If someone working at a company fixes a bug they encounter, that’s someone being paid to write open source software.

I do not understand the reaction people are having to this now. The open source ecosystem was built on this.

It’s always 9 months away in these articles that get regurgitated every month

given that is what they were seemingly aiming to make, yes. your reaction tells me they nailed it, good job them.

“Around half of all people who played, played in multiplayer” kinda sounds like 25% of sales were multiplayer sales. Still not insignificant and more than I would have thought, but it would be foolish to extrapolate from that and make a mulitplayer only mario next.

It’s nintendo that’s almost exactly what they will do.

I just want it to be on par with the Roku or it’ll wind up in the trash heap

in the nicest way possible. lower your expectations. or accept the data-selling, or VPN through europe so you can deny the ads.

Look for air mouse. It’s basically a wiimote. Uses gyroscope to pretend to be a pointer device. You’ll need that because you’re basically going to need to use a web browser if you want to go down this path.

It’s not a nice experience but all the nice experiences you won’t like.

I’ve been around open source for 20+ years and can tell you right now that it don’t work that way. An issue tracker and a wiki is not a community.

Most older open source communities were built on irl connections and irc, with some mailing lists thrown in. Hell, we even funded conferences just around the software, not to sell a product but just because it’s good for everyone to be talking to each other.

The issue tracker tracks the status of things, the wiki is generally user focused. It’s not where development happens or thinks get built.

oh it’s very personal to me, not objective reasons at all.

I just didn’t grow up with 2D Mario so I find the controls fairly annoying for 2D Mario controls (which everyone who has muscle memory loves so y’know, not objective it’s still good controls for people who like them). And everything else seemed like gimmicks on top of that. Which I liked in games like the Rayman Legends, but not when it’s built on a foundation I’m not into
