Picked up Deep Rock Galactic: Survivor a few days ago and I’m now 20 hours in, really enjoying it. It’s a very thematic translation of the original DRG into a survivor game. The terrain and mining are a great addition to the survivor formula, it’s not only for resource collection but it also gives a new twist to the positioning puzzle. The game seems very well suited for more content so I hope that it will keep coming.
Great idea!
I’ll probably stick with Firefox but I will set this up using the Vimium browser extension which has a very similar hint based link selection.
Currently on sale for $17.99, new low.
Roguelikes: DCSS, Shattered Pixel Dungeon, Nethack
Traveling right now and I am playing Dead Cells. It’s gentle on the battery and I am fairly new to the game so lots to explore.
Finally picked up Dead Cells from the current sale. I play a lot of roguelikes/lites but never been much into Castlevania type stuff so started out skeptical. But a few hours into it I find myself enjoying it more and more. It feels good to get better at it which is a key ingredient for great games.
The game is perfect for the deck, gentle on the battery, works great at the screen resolution, excellent controller support.
How visible is this to the average user? Just wondering because I have yet to see any spam at all in my Mastodon feeds. Big thanks to the admins for being on top of it!
Brotato is a perfect game for the Deck and it’s my favorite from the “auto shooter” genre.
If you care about privacy, which I understand, you probably want to leave quickly.
Just because you care about privacy it doesn’t mean that you have to stay indoors all the time. You can still hang around on the town square you just have to be conscious about what you do where.
A big part of caring about privacy is understanding how the platforms you use work and using them accordingly. With proprietary platforms this is often opaque and the rules can change. Open platforms are transparent and you can actually understand them - if you make the effort.
The Binding of Isaac and Brotato are my most played by far. Both are on sale currently. Just one more run…
gotosocial might we worth checking out. It provides Mastodon-compatible APIs (so you can run Mastodon clients and UIs against it) but it’s less resource hungry and easier to deploy (in my experience). The caveat is that it’s less mature.

Not a huge fan of the noise this adds to the threads. Would be nice if Lemmy frontends could provide better ways to interact with bots. For example custom buttons that would PM the bot with the appropriate message to trigger the action.
Autotype is already solved - ydotool, wtype and dotool exists (and possibly others as well).
These tools work by creating a virtual keyboard so they don’t let you send input to a specific window. The input goes to whatever happens to be focused at the moment. This makes them less reliable than the X11 equivalents and unusable for tasks where you need to guarantee that the right window gets the input.
Those of us who use the autocd feature of shells “execute” directories all the time. For example I’d type just /usr/bin RET if I wanted to cd to /usr/bin.

There are already almost a hundred extension protocols and you need dozens of them to implement just barebones desktop functionality. If you look under the surface the Wayland ecosystem is arguably already more complex than X11 ever was and it’s only going to get worse.
There is a fairly compact Thinkpad USB keyboard which would be much easier to connect if you can make it fit somehow. It has the trackpoint but no trackpad.
Yeah, I ended up doing something similar but using my own Dockerfile where I specified ebook-convert as the entry point.
Yep, I realized that as soon as I posted and tried to ninja-delete but too late :)
If I sum up the numbers from March 2022 it’s 26% AMD and 38% NVIDIA.
