The "you" was meant to be a more general you, rather than you specifically, although my point is the same. Launching a social media site is a herculean task, and requires the effort (or funding) to match. Its up to those trying to establish the platform to put in the effort, not the ones we're trying to "sell" to, and insulting or blaming them just makes us look like assholes.

I mean, for something that is meant to provide cotent for near-every niche or interest out there, it is nearly nothing. On Reddit, both Dota2 and War Thunder are more than half-way there every week, and those are both niche, and not particularly topical. Frankly, for the average user, Lemmy doesn't have enough content to be relevant.

Dont get me wrong, I'm still here and still hopeful for the Fediverse's success but blaming the user and pretenting the problems don't exist isn't helping the problem, and instead just makes us look like elitists and assholes. We're the ones trying to make a product for them, not the other way around. If you want the platform to be appealing to standard users, stop whining, and start posting more or otherwise contributing more to the platorm.

Yeah, that was a fun job... at least the database tended to have some descriptive column names. They never lined up with the entity they mapped to, but it was better than nothing.

It has been a little while since I last played it, but I found that scale-wise, it felt small (I'm guessing this is what you mean) with major locations too close together, but content-wise, it felt sparse, empty and ultimately pretty boring, which was the much bigger issue in my enjoyment.

Basically, how much of the world is interesting/fun.

For example, Fallout 3 doesn't do a great job of this, as much of the world is baren with no story or gameplay. Half of the world feels like it could be cut out without much loss. The Yakuza games on the other hand, have smaller worlds but they feel massive and fun because there's always something to do moments away.

The work-around is to make travel fun, so the "empty-space" is just more gameplay. The Just Cause games are the perfect example of this. All the movement mechanics are quick and satisfying, from the grapple and parachute, to the driving, to the OP wingsuit.

Jokes on everyone else. My collection of hundreds of Field Tested P250 Sand Dunes skyrocketed in value.

Edit: After fees and taxes, I more than doubled my initial investment.

OpenRazer unfortunately doesn't support rebinding buttons.

My mouse isn't Logitech, its Razor. The Naga X.

Is there an "standard" Windows 11 debloat script or software that I could use? Things like removing bloatware, and disabling as many of the AI features as possible?

Also, to head this off, I can't use Linux because my mouse is unsupported.

Thanks!

Edit: I used WinUtil. Thanks again!

I have that one, and can vouch for it. Its my perfered travel mug for my morning coffee. The only downside is that it isn't a screw on lid.

Gmod is also particularly popular in Eastern Europe and Russia, which seems to be a particularly toxic region. I've seen more than a few distasteful posts in Russian, such as when "burnt Ukranian corpses" spent multiple days as the most popular workshop item, with comments in Russian celebrating and making various racist and nationalist remarks.

Also not suprised War Thunder is up there too. Again, popular in Russia, and like HoI, its the type of game to attract Nazis and Wehraboos.

 

I'd like to be able to do a little bit of programming here or there when out or about (or just away from my desk). I'm not expecting to compile anything, or even do proper version control, I'm just hoping for something more equivalent to writing code in Notepad++, although more features would obviously be welcome.

Is there anything good for this, that is available on Android, works offline and supports c#?

 

I couldn't find one thats just updated. Theres the Steam news feed, but thats like half ads and sales.

 

I was curious how the activity stats on the sidebar are calculated. I was looking through the GitHub, but I'm not familiar with Rust, so I was having trouble parsing everything.

Would anyone be able to point me to the relevant section on github?

 
 

Egg interceptions up 116% so far this year, while seizures of fentanyl down 32%

 

I'm trying to find a decent wireless headset for day-to-day use. It'd be for a lot of teleconferencing as well as some gaming, music, and other normal stuff. In particular, I'm looking for a pair of over-ears, since wearing on-ears or in-ears for longer periods is uncomfortable (esspecially with glasses), want something with a fold-up or removeable microphone to prevent damage, and have a pretty limited budget: $200CAD, equivalent to about $100USD.

My standards aren't that high for general quality, but I wasn't finding much that met my criteria. As-is I was debating between the Logitech Vibe 100 (Seemed like it was decent all-around, and it comes in white or pink, which is a bonus) or the Corsair Void RGB Elite (mainly for the large ear cups). I know both these options are pretty gamer-y, which is usually bad, and the Corsair headset is ancient, but I haven't really found anything that looks better. Does anyone have any better options?

Edit: The Logitech G733 also looks promising.

 

I'm trying to find mechanical keyboards that are not black/grey, are standard or TKL, and are hotswappable. I have yet to find a site that allows you to sort by all three chritiria, nonetheless sort though multiple brands/sites. Has anyone made a site along these lines?

Edit: like what pcpartpicker offers for most other computer parts

Edit 2: Keeb-finder is what I was looking for. Its support for non-American stuff isn't great, but its better than nothing.

 

Was hoping to do a little bit of advertising on other platforms. Anyone have any good, "intro to the fediverse" type infographics. For example, graphics that explain breifly what it is and how to join, or recommend a few good starting instances.

 

I'm looking to buy a decent keyboard - nothing ridiculous as I'm not a keyboard enthusiast, but decent enough for regular use. In particular, I'm looking for something...

  • tkl or full size, nothing with a non-standard arrow key layout
  • Pink or pink and white (or white but cheap enough I can buy keycaps with it)
  • Quieter switches and shorter travel are perfered, but not a deal breaker
  • Available in Canada

Currently I'm mostly looking at the Razer BlackWidow V3 for $122 CAD. I'm not exactly a Razor fan, but the only competitve option I found was the Ducky One 3 TKL for $171 CAD. I'm sure the quality is better, and the hotswappable switches are very nice, but it lacks the backlight and the media controls while being $50 more expensive.

Is there a better option I'm missing, or a good reason to pick one or the other?

 

I know this is a bit more tech-support oriented, but I was hoping someone might have first or second hand experience fixing this, given what a nightmare it is to research and test.

I'm using a semi-recent Samsung phone, running their skin of Android 14. Currently, I'm using PIA as my vpn (yes, I know I should switch) through the OpenVPN app. I also experience this issue through PIA's app leading me to think its an Android issue. I also leave both the "Always-on VPN" and "Block Connections without a VPN" enabled.

I've tried to do some research, but everything that I find is search engines directing to basic stuff like how to connect to wifi

Edit: I'm currently testing the memory management tweak, and Ill probably try wireguard next.

Edit 2: In case anyone ends up here from Google, I've swapped VPNand tried removing all restrictions on memory and battery usage with no luck. I have also found a bunch of people complaining about similar issues with other Samsung devices, so it may be related. For example, this threat from Reddit, with all the responses removed: https://old.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/comments/t8t1hf/connectivity_issues_with_new_phone_android/
