I wrote something similar about returning to traditional music formats on my own blog https://audiovalentine.com/2025/01/death-to-spotify-a-survey-of-alternatives/

Finally the live service bubble is popping.
I hope the developers working on these projects get put on to something else, instead of shown the door as is so often the case.

A little worried that with swapping those components like that, it’s trying to be too many things for too many different groups of people instead of one exact thing.

I think all I really want is something shaped like this with a keyboard, like an old Blackberry that could be used as a terminal.

Nedankinde! Ĝi estas la plej ofta eraro. Me esperas ke vi amus Esperanton!

Bone! Vi estas kompreneblea. Sed vi forgesis la akuzitivon mdr. Vi komencis lerni Esperanton naŭ tagoj antaŭ.

Mi parolas ĝin! Mi lernis ĝin dum la pandemio. Esperanto ne estas utila, kaj nun mi learnas la japanan, sed mi amas la lingvon.

They’re probably speeding things along a little, since I don’t believe there’s any world in which this gets fourteen seasons.

Super Hexagon

Just bought Riven, I’m liking it quite a lot so far. I see why it’s a classic. Love the feeling of being dropped into a completely alien world.

Damn this thread really makes me feel like a minority, but I prefer GNOME! It comes useful out of the box, sane defaults, easy to extend without ripping out the soul of how it functions.

FFXIV!

Puzzling Places has been an unexpected joy after I got it in a bundle with Tetris Effect.

Would y’all recommend the game now with that update coming soon? Especially since it’ll get a price increase with it. Last time I think I tried B&S was before Alyx came out.

Definitely seeing some people complain about the design changes; once my server updates I’m sure I’ll see for myself. But for the most part I’m fairly pleased with the new notification grouping. Long strings of hundreds of people liking the same post over and over meant I missed replies sometimes.

I just moved my Mastodon server from masto.host to being self hosted on a Raspberry Pi because of the server costs (which increase automatically on masto.host if you exceed the plan limits).

There needs to be a film about the FOSS movement that matches the vibes of 1995’s cyberspace masterpiece Hackers.

Lemmy is definitely a more male space than I think even reddit was, and that does affect the tone of certain conversations. It really is a whiplash coming here from Mastodon sometimes and seeing a very different vibe.

Cryptobros fuck off

Completely unique and very difficult to experience with alternative hardware nowadays (compared to the PSP which can be played on nearly everything). The games library is incredibly unique because small budget games still had a big chance to succeed.
