  • What's the status of your OLED preorder?

    Jump

  • Ordered LE ~20 minutes after launch. Currently stuck on "Packaged items", and refreshing way too often to see the same message...

    Our distributor has hit a processing backlog for orders to Canada. We are actively working through the issue and will ship your order as soon as we can. You will receive an email with tracking information once your order ships

    I'm hoping this backlog won't be too long. 🥲

  • Game Recommendation?

    Jump

  • It seems really dumb to play on such a device, but I've been playing a few rounds of Bejeweled 3 when looking for something in short bursts. There's a controller profile that works surprisingly well with the dpad + face buttons.

    For laid back / cozy games, I recommend A Short Hike, TOEM, the Frog Detective trilogy & Dave the Diver.

  • Turn out you can have nice wifi spend afterall

    Jump

  • A mesh system would be better or even an old router in AP mode. That's actually what I'm using to get full speed downstairs. It works really well, with no latency even for complexe things such as my Plex server or VirtualDesktop (wireless VR with my PC).

    Wired is always better than wireless. You'll get better WiFi speed with AP than Wi-Fi repeater.

  • Don't give Todd any idea. The world would crumble if Bethesda was to port Skyrim again.

  • Doom on the wrapper, it really can be played from anywhere. Now that's peak gaming.

  • It looks great as it is. I'd vote for the current one.

  • [Discussion] What games are you currently playing on your deck? - October 2023

    Jump

  • It's been in my backlog for a while (it just keeps getting bigger & bigger...). I try to switch genre every now and then just so I don't get bored of the sameness, but given the appreciation this received online and your comment, it's been pushed to the top of that list haha :)

  • [Discussion] What games are you currently playing on your deck? - October 2023

    Jump

  • Almost done with Eternights. It has its janky moments but for a first game by a one person studio, it's surprisingly good!

    I'm also halfway done with Gato Roboto, it's a great (but short) game where you play as a cat in a mech suit à la Metroid 🐱🤖

  • Obsolescence programmée : le projet de loi 29 est adopté

    Jump

  • C'est un pas dans la bonne direction! Par contre, quand je vois des termes comme "durée raisonnable" et "accessible" sans davantage de détails, j'ai peur que ça soit appliqué qu'à moitié par les fabricants. J'ose imaginer que le projet de loi contiendra plus de détails là-dessus.

    Par exemple, si la documentation est derrière plusieurs liens semi-obscures (et/ou qu'il faut se créer un compte), c'est accessible oui, mais loin d'être dans la meilleure intention du consommateur.

    Pour que ça fonctionne bien, faut que ça soit bien délimité et que les sanctions soient assez importantes. Sinon, ça sera bien beau sur papier mais on aura peu de changements concrets.

  • [Updated] Red Fedora Setup

    Jump

  • What's the theme? I tried a few but they didn't look as good. Yours seems to fit great with Gnome 40+.

  • Confusing disk with /dev/null for years [2:23]

    Jump

  • It's still possible but that requires a few steps to works.

    If you're using the official YouTube app, you can press the three vertical dots button on the website, you should have an option called "Open app".

    If you're using ReVanced/Vanced, and because Google has made poor design choices about handling links, you can go into the app settings to tell it to handle every YouTube URL. This should works when clicking a YouTube link from Sync. However, for links that you changed manually from Piped to YouTube, Chrome doesn't provide a way to open in app. Firefox can do that, but if it's not your default browser, this option requires you to change browser every time you want to see a video inside the app.

    The best option is to use "Open Link With..." which provide an easy way to open apps from your browser. It's as simple as sharing the website to "Open Link With..." and select your app eg. YouTube/ReVanced/Vanced/etc. You can also set it as your browser which should do that automatically but I haven't tested it so YMMV.

    I hope this was useful!

  • Twitter, Reddit, Unity, Blizzard... who else?

    Jump

  • Seems to be from the "No Poop July" trend a few months ago.

  • Confusing disk with /dev/null for years [2:23]

    Jump

  • It use the same path logic as YouTube. You only need to replace "piped.video" with "youtube.com".

  • Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their "mistake". They want to be seen as the victims like they didn't know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something "less worst" is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.

  • How to be a company in 2023

    1. Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
    2. Don't use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
    3. People are angry... Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
    4. Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
    5. ????
    6. Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)

    Rinse & repeat, because we're all humans and we can't learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won't happen again... right?

  • Plex Will Block Media Servers at Abuse Prevalent Hosting Company | TorrentFreak

    Jump

  • It's always the case of a small group ruining the whole thing for everyone. Identifying and removing big dodgy paid servers would be a good middle ground without punishing the others.

  • What Lemmy Client(s) Do You Use?

    Jump

  • I'm using a mix of Sync and Eternity. I was using Infinity for Reddit before the migration.

    Because Sync came first, it's still my default way to navigate Lemmy but Eternity is slowly growing on me. I prefer to alternate between a few apps to stay up to date on the alternatives, and to ensure I don't become dependant on a single app/interface.

    I've also tested a few times Photon, great web UI which can be installed as a PWA.

  • This should be illegal

    Jump

  • Good analogy. The battle shouldn't be about forcing abandonware to be opensource. We should focus on DRM, it makes games almost impossible to play when servers shut down.

    OP should have compared it to other medias such as movies. When you buy a box copy, you expect it to work long after the authors/studios/etc. are gone.

    The issue is about the lack of legal ways to play older games as time moves on. It will only grow bigger in the next few years with even more games relying on DRM and online servers.
