Bloody tiny ribbon cables…

Yeah… They’re sturdier than they look but it’s still scary that pulling on one of them could completely ruin the joycon. My bigger problem was the battery connector, I intended to remove the battery completely but after trying to disconnect it twice, I gave up and just moved it aside. I was too worried I’d break it.

Oof, how did that happen? Left it out under the sun?

Yeah I’m aware of the hall effect replacements which are pretty cheap, but this fix was essentially free and should last me at least a few months until the sticks degrade. Once it really stops working I’ll look into opening it again and fixing it for real.

I use Joplin. It’s fairly simple and very comparable to Evernote if you’ve ever used that, but it’s perfect for my needs.

I used LogSeq before, it’s very similar to Obsidian, the big difference being that it’s open source. It’s got a ton of features and the built-in whiteboard is actually really good, but I found it a bit overkill for my simple note taking.

• Logseq also makes each line start with a bulleted list which quickly made me go insane

I’ve been meaning to post some of my stuff to Flatpak when Godot 4.4 releases but never bothered to look into it. This is perfect, thanks for sharing!

Why? Automod is just a tool, the issues people have with it is how overzealous the mods using it are. If you’re moderating a community with 10,000+ people you can’t expect to filter and manage everything yourself, so a bot scheduling posts and filtering potential spam/low effort content is necessary.

You didn’t read the post. The suggestion is to make the platform more decentralized not centralized. I’m not even going to reply to most comments in this thread that also, clearly, did not read the post and is making stuff up.

Right? Who gives a shit about user experience anyways? When someone has an issue, you just tell them to man up and figure it out.

No, it’s not always obvious which is the “main” community and there are many communities that died due to lack of traction, often because there are duplicate communities that also lacked traction. Community following would not only help unify communities and unify comments in crossposts, it also encourages decentralization by making 5 useful communities instead of 4 dead and 1 active.

It’s not insane or narcissistic to want to reach a big audience. The same audience, across multiple instances, without effort. It’s social media 101. Saying who cares to that is a great way to see a dwindling userbase. Maybe you can’t feel it because it doesn’t directly affect your usage, but it does many others, and providing an optional solution is not a bad thing to consider.

I’d also like to take this moment to show that this is the most popular issue in Lemmy’s github, getting over twice as many likes as the 2nd most liked issue. Everyone convincing eachother in the comments that nobody cares about this is clearly wrong, and are being so in an insanely toxic and dismissive manner. Thanks.

Same solutions apply. They don’t have to be across different instances to be able to group them somehow.

I hope they can revisit the idea. There are many cases of duplicate communities splintering the community, making finding content more difficult.

Followed posts would just link to the original post and wouldn’t be a crosspost, yeah. So assuming a and b are following each other, a post from a would show up in b. If someone in b clicks on the post, they would just open the same post from a.

Ideally only one post would be made, no crossposts. One pancake post would be on your feed, and that same post would be visible from other communities

Obsessive and narcissistic because there are many duplicate communities and it’s frustrating to try and find out which ones to use? Okay…

All this work to make Lemmy “more organized” feels like it’s missing the point that communities here on Lemmy actually have the opportunity to grow organically, instead of being forced open by bots and fake engagement like on Reddit.

Does it mean the average user has to do more work for community discovery? Yes. Get used to it and stop trying to ruin a good thing by trying to make it more like the corporate shitholes we have been trying to escape.

It just sounds like you didn’t read the post and made up a narrative in your head about what it’s about.

I’m aware that people are slowly grouping up to one specific community per topic but I don’t think this means there isn’t an issue with communities being fractured. Using a third party tool to gauge which communities are popular also isn’t a great solution. Just searching Linux shows:

• !linux@lemmy.ml
• !linux@lemmy.world
• !linux@sopuli.xyz
• !linux@programming.dev

I don’t think each one of these communities has a different audience. It’s the same audience, but there isn’t an obvious answer for which one to visit or post in.

I made a guide a while back explaining everything. It’s easier than it looks, you’ll just use a manager like Lutris or Heroic and download the newest version of Wine-GE, then your games should work.

Whoops. I forgot to mention this. I’ll add a little section for it later…

Go to Steam settings --> Storage. There you can add your 2nd Steam folder and be able to move games back and forth. You can select many games and click “Move”.

Thought about putting it on github /gitlab?

I’m not opposed to it, but is there demand for it to be on GitHub?

It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on non flatpak for steam and flatpak for heroic.

Steam’s Flatpak version has some issues, the way it’s sandboxed causes things to not work as it should. I’ve seen people complain about controllers not being detected via Steam Input, confusion around permissions, minor bugs among other things. There’s really no reason to use that instead of your package manager.

On the other hand, Heroic actually recommends the Flatpak by default since it’s stable, has no issues, isn’t distro-dependent, etc. There’s no reason not to use it instead of your package manager.

I’ve heard a lot of varying experiences but for me personally I just couldn’t get it to work, and I tried most of the workarounds like disabling fast reboot. It worked for a while but every now and then I’d constantly have to reset permissions for the entire drive, and even then games would not run sometimes. If someone knows more about this I’d love some info on it, but in general most of the Linux community agrees that NTFS causes more trouble than it’s worth.

I wonder if something is ever going to overtake git as the mainstream source control. I honestly agree with everything, git is so verbose and makes it easy to break something. The commands also have bizarre names that makes doing something specific annoying. The git docs are also a giant wall of text, just yesterday someone posted this.. I really want to try something else but it feels like there’s no point because nobody would support or understand it.

Until then I guess I’ll keep doing git status, git add *, git commit -m "some stuff", git push until something breaks.
