Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I probably interact with people who are at the pinnacle of their chosen skill but I'd never know because that skill isn't something that generates fame.5·10 days agoIt doesn’t always have to be relative. I could interact with the world champion self-built rc airplane racer. Or the #1 ranked speed runner for a niche video game. Or the person who holds the (unreported) world record for some niche skill like throwing paper wads into a trash can without missing.
You MUST specify what that stands for so there isn’t a terrible misunderstanding with what you are suggesting.
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Fediverse@lemmy.world•LibreOffice: We still see people on the fediverse recommending OpenOffice, despite it having year-old unfixed security issuesEnglish1·29 days agoI’ve always said “lihb ree” office in my head. (lib as in rib)
Damn you just spoiled it for me, put a spoiler on that.
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•List of Alternatives to Adobe ProgramsEnglish1·1 month agoI can’t press the record button without it crashing and it fails to see half of my audio inputs, so I’d say not great.
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Kanye West joins streaming service Twitch — gets banned after seven minutesEnglish38·1 month agoYeah, good idea, we can even make long lines of them in a well-organized convoy. Maybe the ones in front and back can control the ones in the middle.
Then to make sure they stay in formation, we can physically link them together, but with a bit of slack to turn and such.
In fact, we could even make special roads for these convoys so they get maximum fuel efficiency while also preventing them from accidentally drifting off of it. These roads would be exclusively used by these tesla convoys.
When these roads have to intersect with normal ones, we will give the convoys right of way, with some sort of movable barrier blocking the other cars from crossing.
Yeah, this idea is shaping up. Imagine all the people and cargo we could move with this hyper-efficient system.
They already did. We are the other universe.
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•‘If it’s the only place to play Mario, you buy it’: Former PlayStation boss reacts to $80 Nintendo gamesEnglish2·2 months agoI do! Many of my favorites are indie games, I’d say more than not. But I guess there’s some things that you can’t do without a massive budget or many many years in development, because many nintendo core franchises just aren’t beat in quality in my opinion, at least for some entries.

Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•‘If it’s the only place to play Mario, you buy it’: Former PlayStation boss reacts to $80 Nintendo gamesEnglish10·2 months agoI’m going to try very hard not to be, but I’m definitely the type of person you’re describing. That Nintendo direct had me drooling at the new Mario kart and donkey Kong games, and nothing hits like a zelda. Super mario wonder was a delight.
I only hope I can emulate this system relatively quickly. I am not a man of strong willpower.
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women?English76·2 months agoIt’s not niche being a woman obviously. What’s niche is having a community exclude 50% of the population. Nothing wrong with it, but it is niche.
Or I can use Java for an active modpack development scene. Not sure it’s super active for luanti and voxelibre.
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•How to install Minecraft on the Steam Deck15·2 months agoI’ve used both of those mods and they’re great. These days I use a pre-built modpack like “fabulously optimized” to update and include all the mods for me. (there are tons of similar packs like this). Those can still play on vanilla servers.
Avoid the “steam deck” modpacks, as many of them are abandoned or straight up don’t run at all. Stick to the very popular, well-tested packs if you do use a modpack at all. Even if they aren’t branded with some sort of “works on steam deck” note. They will probably still work.
And of course, +1 for prism. It’s the only recommendable option for steam deck or standard PC play these days.
He got mad at me and much of his community over concerns about decisions he was making for “block game”. We stated our concerns kindly and politely, and he got mad and deleted an entire discord channel because we didn’t agree with him and made good points that he couldn’t refute. I lost all respect for him after that.
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•AI crawlers cause Wikimedia(The umbrella organization of Wikipedia and a dozen or so other crowdsourced knowledge projects) Commons bandwidth demands to surge 50%.English451·2 months agoWell I get the analogy, but also I think they didn’t use pencils because of the graphite and complications with filtering air or something.
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@programming.dev•Proton Brings Updates to Its Drive App and Docs, but Keeps Linux Users Waiting11·2 months agoThe people concerned this much with privacy are certainly less than 2%. They’re already in a niche market for the purpose of privacy. Not that much of a leap to support Linux (which by the way is likely higher than 2% of their user base.)
Alk@sh.itjust.worksto Linux@programming.dev•Proton Brings Updates to Its Drive App and Docs, but Keeps Linux Users Waiting27·2 months agoBecause it’s all built in. Proton password manager can create a new login for a site. In the same process it also generates a password, creates a new email with a domain that can’t be linked back to me, with no setup on my end. Technically I can set up bitwarden to do that but it’s a lot of configuration and it will end up using my domain for every email which, even if it can’t be linked back to me, all of my email addresses can be linked to each other by merit of using the same domain.
Until there is a major competitor to Proton that solves all of that, there is no alternative.

It literally just had its biggest update ever last month.
