Thanks! I said in the posts something about the editing expressed the feeling of the aurora, which I had never witnessed before, and which was quite strong for how far south it was.

This one:

…and, yeah, the photo is definitely over-brightened and saturated.

Which is amusingly also what Xbox and PlayStation had before everything started coming to PC.

Wiimmfi distributes those events periodically. You just need to get them in HG/SS and then you can select them.

Would love to see more of the developer providing good information for those laid off so other companies can more easily ingest possible hires.

I mean, if you look back to the framing of the constitution, the idea was that a bunch of citizen militias would be kept such that if the country needed defense, they would be able to respond. This was because the new United States lacked (and politically opposed) standing armies like the one which they just fought off the continent.

Since then, the United States acquired an Army, Navy, and Air Force alongside numerous National Guard units. The theoretical need for citizen militias vanished.

The real answer to your question is that we really don’t have citizens participating in “well-regulated militias.” Not from the constitutional context, anyway.

Looking alright. It’s a Pokémon game so I know what I’m getting into but it looks fun.

I’m a game developer and I will 100% confirm that studios have already started and will continue assuming the user has DLSS/FSR/XeSS enabled because it turns out rendering half as many pixels can get you across the finish line.

It was already fairly standard practice to try as hard as you can for performance, and when that fails to bring you good performance at native resolution, just cut some resolution (for example, to 900p from 1080p).

However, I do want to add that DLSS/FSR/XeSS is great technology for the low end of the market who can’t afford insane rigs but do get to have a slightly sharper image than previous upscalers could accomplish.

Yeah, I feel the same. Revolt Chat is just an eventual Discord 2 if it gains traction. It doesn’t really matter how open-source it is. It is centralized, and so will eventually need funding for hosting. Without the ability to run my own server and everyone be able to connect to it in their clients, it’s not a valid alternative.

Any other alternatives I’m unaware of to look into? Or are we just SOL?

I think Discord bridging requires encryption to be off, unfortunately, and I personally see bridging as the only way for Matrix to overcome the network effects of Discord.

Oh wow, that’s before my time. Thanks for sharing its existence with me.

Alternatives that move us backwards towards the old days are things like TeamSpeak/Mumble/Ventrilo.

Alternatives that are similar to Discord and not owned by a for-profit company are:

• Matrix

A huge missing piece of almost all not-for-profit alternatives is a lack of low-latency game streaming / screen streaming. The best Matrix gets is running a jitsi meet. I think Matrix is the only one that theoretically could work for some users because Discord bridges allow people who are finally fed up to move to Matrix for text chat.

It’s difficult, though.

I agree, but having looked down this road, finding a quality external player that users will understand and is inexpensive is … not easy.

Alright, so I have had Jellyfin installed for years now, but my primary issue is that most devices myself or my users use lack official, readily-available clients. For example, the Samsung TV app is a developer mode install. Last I looked, nobody has put a build into the store.

I really want to use Jellyfin, but I feel like my users simply can’t. I’m interested in others’ experiences here that could help.

My experience is that both Plex and Jellyfin pointed at the same media files causes no issues.

If you expected Analogue to have a reasonable amount of product (ready for release or otherwise), you have not been paying attention.

Finally got my lemmy instance fully updated.

Been improving my backup scripts in advance of adding backup to a server.

Updated servers and other services.

The science actually says that 60 hours a week, when maintained, is less productive than 40. You can gain productivity in the short term by mandating overtime, but the limit is around two weeks. You also pay for it in lost productivity the following weeks anyway, so it’s more a shifting of productivity.

If he actually cared about productivity (which is related to service/development and eventually profit), he wouldn’t be saying this falsehood.

For context: I was very young around the NES & SNES era, but a lot of kids back then went to play at other kids’ houses. Not every household had one, but one of my friends would and I’d want to go play at their house because they had one. In this way, 30 million NES’ could reach far more million people (kids), leading to modern nostalgia.

Personally, my grandpa had a NES and I ALWAYS wanted to go to his house to play Duck Hunt.
