ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPOEnglish19·6 days agoIf I host headscale on a VPS, is that as seamless of an experience as Tailscale? And would I miss out on features, like the Tailscale dashboard? How does the experience change for me (an admin type) and my users (non-technical types)?
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years?English2·7 days agoI game exclusively in Linux (and I play on GOG and Itch), so I just use Lutris categories for this. Of course, I made a Lutris account and turned on sync
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Besides mod logs, is there a better way for the Fediverse to keep track of malicious actors, such as Kiwi farms members, Nazi apologists, and genocide deniers?English3·8 days agoYou don’t know Shaun? How come?
(I don’t know either)
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Technology@lemmy.world•Google confirms more ads on your paid YouTube Premium Lite soonEnglish191·6 days agoI keep noticing people in this thread recommending UBlock Origin, with others replying that they eventually got a popup to turn off their adblocker.
This is usually followed by replies mentioning they just click X (or add a UBlock filter on the popup), and go on with watching Youtube. No problem, right?
According to Ublock Origin’s Redd*t Post, that is just the first warning stage; eventually the presentation of their anti-adblock message becomes more intrusive until you receive the “The in-player message. Playback is stopped.”
I should know. I get that message on any Youtube video (while logged in), and it doesn’t go away for several hours.
That said, my workaround (extremely hacky) was to find the RSS feeds for all of my channel subscriptions, and then add them to FreshRSS. That section of my RSS feed essentially acts like a Youtube subscription page, but not tied to an actual account.
On my computer: I watch them in a private browser Firefox profile I’ve dedicated solely to Youtube (and has all of the extensions already installed, of course).
On Android: I watch them using NewPipe.
Edit: In addition, I store my “watch later” links using Linkding, which was easy to setup. While I do see reply suggestions on how to get rid of the popup, I think it’s better (for the long term) to have an independent way to consume Youtube. While Youtube currently implements a 4 stage system, they could always add another stage or make the current one more strict.
I think my approach requires more set up work (and probably introduces more friction) compared to reply suggestions, but overall is more resistant to future updates to Youtube’s nagging system.
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•My experience with Discord on Linux6·10 days agoI see some recommendations for Vesktop in this thread.
For some reason, launching Vesktop’s Flatpak version presents a blank window. It worked perfectly fine a few weeks ago. Going back several versions doesn’t fix the problem.
Does anyone else have this issue? What doesn’t help is that the repo doesn’t have an issue tracker:
https://github.com/Vencord/Vesktop
Edit: Appimage version works just fine
Is it the other guy’s responsibility to set the expectation on when to get to it?
If it is stopping you, then talk to your supervisor/boss/manager/whatever. It’s literally their job to “unstuck” you, especially when it’s due to differing business priorities (i.e. red tape).
As another comment has mentioned, if it truly is a priority than at least with digital communication you’ve established a paper trail. In person confrontations diminish the length and quality of this trail.
That’s a power move?
With all due respect, the few times I’ve had this happen to me I just think of the person coming up to me as a whiny bitch, especially if the matter is such a low priority as to not get a response.
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?6·25 days agoThey Bleed Pixels. Tough as nails precision platformer with combat, and a gothic Lovecraftian aesthetic. Came out in 2012, but for some reason didn’t get as much attention as Super Meat Boy (2010)
I want to be remembered as the succulent meal that sometimes makes good points and funny jokes 🍗🍚
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•The Baldur's Gate 3 cast got a new set of pre-painted minis and—oh, oh no, oh no no noEnglish7·1 month agoJudero lookin’ asses
(Judero is actually an amazing game and a work of art. Go play it, if you like the idea of a game made fully in clay + spare pieces laying around the creator’s house)
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Work Reform@lemmy.world•Software engineer lost his $150K-a-year job to AI—he’s been rejected for 800 jobs and forced to DoorDash and live in a trailer to make ends meet134·1 month agoFrom the software engineer in the article:
“I think there’s this problem where people are stuck in the old world business mindset of, well, if I can do the same work that 10 developers were doing with one developer, let’s just cut the developer team instead of saying, oh, well, we’ve got a 10 developer team, let’s do 1,000x the work that we were doing before,” K says.
Buddy, there is no “old world business mindset”, this is capitalism as usual. Even IF (big IF), an employer can get 1000x the output, you guys will NOT get 1000x the compensation. This is exploitation
Let’s put this to rest: when productivity boosts are touted as a benefit from using AI, it doesn’t mean shit if you work for someone else (i.e. you don’t really own your work)
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Games@lemmy.world•Ori Studio Head Says Review Bombing Might Force Studio Closure, Then Takes It All BackEnglish131·1 month agoOh damn. I was going to get the Ori games but will spend my money elsewhere. Thanks for the heads up.
Pretty much all of Reddit right now
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.world•Pope Leo ‘Looked the Other Way’ When Victims Raised Sex Abuse Claims Against Priests, Survivor WarnsEnglish91·1 month agoI’m guessing you’ve seen the Reddit threads about him? The commenters display the exact behavior you describe lol.
Somewhat related: It’s funny, I came to Lemmy because of the Reddit API fiasco, but stayed because I prefer the culture here. Sometimes I’ll visit Reddit (during major news stories, or for niche topics) and man, does it feel so off lol
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Programmers then and now10·1 month agoSome say they are still trapped there, to this day…
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?4·1 month agoLinda Cubed Again, for the Playstation 1. It’s a Japanese RPG released in 1997, with an English fan translation released last year (after 10 years of work!)
I was surprised by some of the systems implemented in the game: a working bank system, some locations change over time, dynamic weather with effects on the environment (i.e. rainfall can flood lower levels of caves), and more.
There’s a youtube video that goes over the story, but overall I’d say it’s a pretty solid pokemon-like that deserves more attention. I should mention that the game is pretty dark and features a lot of taboos. The github link describes them in a content warning section, in case you want to try it for yourself
ChickenAndRice@sh.itjust.worksto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Has The Reddit acknowledged the existence of Lemmy?English14·1 month agoI remember suggesting Lemmy to mods of a popular subreddit, during the API Shutdown 2 years ago
They told me they had no idea how to even use it and would rather just use Discord. I check a couple months ago and they still exist on Reddit…
We need to secure the means of defecation.
