It’s even a magnetized philips driver. The Rambler is great and actually worth it’s price imho!

I used to use this extension a while back, seems to have been forked and Ihaven\t tried it lately but it did it\s thing back when I used it.

Same! I miss being able to use it for swipe actions like I could on my note 9 a few years ago too…

For me it’s mainly a nice backup for when the Xbox or TV is occupied by someone else. I don’t think I’d use it as my prime source of gaming. It works but it’s not quite as good as the actual playing on your own hardware.

Saw that, isn’t it strange to never have seen that from any other app then?

Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.

Everyone seemed to hype it up as the best sci fi ever so it might just have been the hype that did it.

I thought it was a decent book but nothing really special. It just wasn’t all that interesting to me. It didn’t make me want to read the sequels.

I know I’ve ended up more of a lurker lately. That’s not due to any particular ill feelings about beehaw or lemmy at large though. I think I just entered a bit more passive, consuming phase. Maybe falling back a bit to the old reddit habits? Mostly browsing for interesting new things.

Anyway.

This is probably due to me discovering Beehaw and Lemmy at the same time, but for me they’re probably a lot more connected than I’m guessing they are for you old timers.

For me it’s like… the cozy corner of Lemmy you know? My home base while venturing out to other instances’ communities. I’m definitely most likely to actually post or comment around here just because I like it here (though not exclusively however).

So… now this place will most likely go dark in a while. What then?

This won’t and can’t be my home base by then and that’s making me feel like… should I start looking for a new home already?

Anything I produce with this account will either go go away or at least be locked down. Nor sure what happens to the federated copies of comments and posts on other communities when an instance shuts down.

So… I don’t know. It’s starting to feel a bit like this account is nearing its end of life which makes it feel a bit odd to be actively using it.

A bit like chalk on the sidewalk while watching rain clouds come rolling in.

I… don’t know what my point is really.

I guess it feels a bit like it’s time to start cultivating a new account, mirror my subscriptions and start using that instead, even for posting here. I don’t know.

Anyone else feel something similar?

I don’t really know. Too many for me to bother counting them but probably in the high hundreds. In our living room we’ve got four or five meters worth of book shelves that are completely filled up and the overflow has started piling up in other rooms.

So at least a bunch :)

Yeah, turning off images wouldn’t be too bad either. If people want to post inages you can just as easily upload them somewhere else and link them.

Sorry to hear that mate! That’s one of the biggest reasons I’ve never wanted to move towards IT forensics even though I think I’d enjoy the actual work. But having to regularly sift through the absolute worst humanity has to offer sounds awful.

Hope the immediate pain of it settles as soon as possible!

This might not be what people want but since beehaw is going to leave Lemmy anyway, couldn’t you just completely defederate and run as an isolated instance? Then you’d have control of what her life gets published without having to deal with federated nastiness?

Really looking forward to this… been itching for a new playthrough for quite some time now but saving it for the traverse day.

I’d rather not see Beehaw split from Lemmy but if you feel you have to then I for one wouldn’t mind seeing if using a phpbb board.

Glory to the old forums! /old grumpy mode

I’ve spent ages on phpBB and I do kind of miss out to be honest.

It might just be nostalgia talking though because I can’t really say exactly what I’m missing about it.

Might just be the old communities that used it.

Stray!

And I did get it from the Steam sale.

It had been on my radar for quite some time. Partly because it’s gotten such great review and partly because it’s from Annapurna, they seem to release pretty sweet games.

And it’s great! Highly recommended. :)

Ubuntu does make things easier.

I had everything set up the way I wanted it in Ubuntu the other day… but something still itched a bit so now I’m on Tumbleweed and feeling better. :D

Though Diablo 4 tends to crash after playing it for a while… not sure if I’d have the same issue in Ubuntu or not, might have to triple boot for a bit just to try it out. I really do want to stay here in chameleon land though so it would probably be better to just try to find the cause of the crashing.

I do think this is a pretty common thing among us linux geeks though, never really feeling content and just wanting to try everything. :)

Never did try BlackArch or Rainmeter though!

I’ve played around with plenty of distros though… Slackware, Redhat, Gentoo, Arch, *buntu, SuSE (before they split into openSUSE), openSUSE, Manjaro, Endeavour OS and probably a bunch more that I can’t even remember but those are probably the ones I’ve played around with the most.

I am starting to realize how handy flatpaks can be!

I’ve been distro hopping like a madman these last couple of days and it’s gotten so much easier to get going with my games now!

I’m still happy WSL exists, it’s definitely better than nothing if you’re stuck in Windows land!

Sounds pretty nice tbh!

Yeah, that’s basically where you go if you ever have some obscure problem, it’s incredibly useful really.
