never thought I’d see the day…

Corduroy!

I’m still waiting for native controller support 😭, supposed to dropping with the console release this quarter maybe?

there should be awards for doing math on the internetz, here’s the best I can do 🏆

this really needs more circulation because too goddamn many people still believe his PR

I got all excited cause I saw that Linus had a mastodon account and I went to follow and saw that I already followed and he hasn’t posted since early last year… ah well, good on ya 2023 Torvalds

You love to see it

It’s from a Studio Ghibli film, Porco Rosso.

It’s a wonderful movie and I think it’s themes and messages are ever more relevant as we witness a rise in fascist governments around the world.

Legendary

I’m just not really getting all the hate hate. These people started a community or worked their way into a mod spot. They had a specific set of rules for the community that was posted and reasonably fair. Their community got popular. They realized their site admin was modding their community according to rules that they didn’t want to also enforce. They tried to move the community to a better fit instance as non-dramatically as they knew how.

That’s all perfectly reasonable to me. Clearly they did a shit job at doing it non dramatically but they’re communicating and adjusting their position to try and accommodate others and that alone should buy them a little good will. They are trying to figure out what to do, everyone is trying to figure out what to do. What’s with all the hate?

I thought the same thing initially but modern video codecs, plus the developer’s plan to limit the videos to 30 seconds actually seem feasible. Large Lemmy and mastodon servers are also pricy to run but the community finds a way, I think it’ll be the same for Loops.

Loops is a TikTok clone in the same way pixelfed is an Instagram clone. It’s an app and a backend server setup with activitypub. You can sign up now to the developer’s instance if you’re interested. After signup you get access to the beta app. It’ll probably hit the app store in a few weeks/months depending on how fast the developer can get it done.

Choosing is not so much about whether it’s internet facing or not. From the programmer’s perspective and an administrator’s perspective there are pros and cons to both. As someone looking to self-host, if you want to run a service that works with either, I would make the choice based on what seems the most supported, or which one you feel the most comfortable looking up and performing administrative tasks on. I tend to use postgresql more just because I have more experience with it and can recommend it if that’s what you need, but mysql can be just as good or better in many circumstances. Pick whichever one looks easier to you.

Solid film. You should watch it if you haven’t.

😁 true that

I know better than to assume that anything posted to 4chan actually happened, but I also know from personal experience that moments just like this one DO happen to people. So even if this particular story is a fiction or was intended to serve some other purpose, it’s portraying a familiar moment for many people and I wanted to acknowledge that and encourage people to seek better help.

I feel like I need to say that if this was your experience you had a really shit therapist and deserve better. I’ve felt like this with a therapist before and it’s terrible. It’s ok to drop a therapist over this and try a different one.

amazing

this is really dope! My psp was the best handheld I’ve ever had (and I’ve got a steam deck)

it could do sooooo much once it was hacked, I remember being in 2006 and switching between making calls and sending texts from skype, to emulating gameboy color, to trying all the homebrew games written in lua, to watching my tv shows, to playing AAA games, to browsing the web, all on one device that fit in my pocket. It made my friend’s razor phones look outdated. It was a smart phone before smart phones.

very happy to see it still getting some love

I’ve been loosely exploring this space for a couple weeks now. I got an fpv quadcopter this year and I was thinking about sharing some of my content on loops but I didn’t know anything about video editing. Can confirm kdenlive and OBS studio are legit, still trying to figure those out. Would be nice to find a simpler editor I could use from my phone though. Please throw some recommendations in here if you’ve got them.
