Well, that just looks incredible. 2025 can’t come soon enough.

As a Turk, let me just add:

It’s very well known that the AA is basically just Tayyip’s propoganda machine. It’s a very hard bias towards whatever he’s looking to say, at that point in time, not necessarily right or left wing.

Bowl mixer? Just put on a podcast and knead that by hand for 15 minutes. Ez-pz.

Works fine, here?

Other than the slightly similar camera angle - and emphasis on slight: those games have very different styles of camera - those are completely distinct games.

I get the idea that you’re not a fan of those titles for their design choices which led to mainstream success, but holy crap give them an iota of credit.

Well, to be fair, they did write - in bold letters - on the Steam page that a Playstation network account is required to play.

They simply didn’t enforce that rule up until now.

I’m totally with you on that latter point - Sony needs to do something about that.

derin, 1 month ago

That was Sony’s site. Super shitty what they did there.

But on the Steam Store page it was always “a PS account is required”.

A game where you pay up front for access, as opposed to a free-to-play/freemium title where the initial download is free.

I use Navidrome myself, and I still think it would be nice for people to know a little bit about the software in an update announcement post.

Seems like a very reasonable request, I don’t grok the vitriol in your response.

derin, 1 month ago

You know what you sounded like.

It’s a small text addition for context, not a big ask. Most of these upgrade posts in this community have people asking the same thing, so they can discover new software.

Ultimately, though, it’s your choice.

Steam goes down for maintenance at this time every week.

Edit: Tuesdays ~3pm PST

Same here, my dude… Same here. Why does my back suddenly hurt?

I use Fantastical; pretty decent for an iOS App - if not a bit pricey.

Edit: As an important note, while I’ve used Fantastical for years, it’s really only for the Mac ecosystem so I’m looking to move away from it.

Nowadays Morgen is my Calendar app of choice, but its iOS app isn’t feature complete yep. It’s fantastic on desktop, though.

Well, that looks great. Hopefully it’s as good as the last DLC.

Just use any open source client. You can literally do that.

And if you don’t trust the company - for any reason - use their code to deploy your own backend.

derin, 2 months ago

You were asking how it interacts with Discord. That is the code.

Beyond that it’s running a version of Synapse and has its own client - the latter being optional.

derin, 2 months ago

I disagree. Beeper’s client is meaningless, it’s the service being offered that has value.

If you don’t mind trusting a third party service with your Matrix instance + bridge hosting, use Beeper.

If you’re into OSS and owning your own tech stack, self host the whole thing.

At no point do you have to use their client for any reason.

derin, 2 months ago

Fair point, if you’re just against the fact that they wrote a closed source client.

It’s frustrating that closed source software exists, but in this context I’m (personally) okay with it as it funds the development of free software.

derin, 2 months ago

I am worried about that acquisition, to be honest.

I’ve been supporting them via Github sponsors for about a year, now - as I only use their open source software; I’ve no intention of touching the service or closed source client.

As a result, I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was anxious about their new owners basically telling them “hey, why are you releasing all your bridges for free, anyway?”

Really hope that doesn’t happen, as their bridges have been my primary communication channels for a long time, now. I love not having to keep WhatsApp or Discord installed on my phone.

derin, 2 months ago

The not cool parts just relate to any sort of hosted bridge. If you don’t trust them with decrypting messages on their end, then don’t give them your data - there are no bridges capable of doing that, anywhere.

So it really comes down to “trust someone else with your data, or host it yourself”; and if you’re - understandably - frustrated with those options blame companies like WhatsApp or Discord that make it nigh impossible to integrate their services with outside networks.

Functionally, these bridges just forward your content to a library acting like a headless client - there’s no way to encrypt that as the reverse engineered clients are not libraries and need to take raw input. You can’t end to end encrypt it as the client is one of the “ends”.

As an example, the WhatsApp bridge uses WhatsApp web as a backend, and has all the limitations of WA web.

As a result, I find the expectations to be a bit unrealistic.

I hope they continue to do good, but am also skeptical.

And, man, I miss the old Gravatar.
