I don't get it.

Skill-driven games require major dedication. Why would @rumschlumpel@feddit.org care to suffer through Silksong, not knowing what to do or where to go, getting frustrated by having to memorize enemy moves, etc. when there are experts out there who have already discovered everything and the most efficient takedown methods (or other amateurs who don't find it as painful to explore so)? I see nothing wrong with this.

I used to be a huge gamer but frankly I find tinkering with Syncthing and Espanso perhaps even more fun than playing tough games, and watching NC (no-commentary) playthroughs by people who have already tested everything, etc.

Youtube is about to get worse than it already is by Flagstaff in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 19 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Huh? That's... still YouTube, just curated. We thought you had meant an entirely non-Google video platform; leaving YT completely is the goal. All I can think of is PeerTube, or the paid service Nebula.

By the way, ads are easy to defeat: use any Firefox-based browser (like Firefox or Waterfox) with AdNauseam, or NewPipe on Android. You don't need FreeTube for that (although I do also try to remember to use FreeTube anyway, haha).

How do you balance enjoying what you do with having friends? by Flagstaff in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

it gets reshaped into something I don’t want

It is bizarre that this happens so regularly to you. Could you go into detail, like at least 3 examples of this? What's going on?

New Mexico becomes first state to offer free childcare for all: ‘model for the nation’ by Flagstaff in c/upliftingnews@lemmy.world

Incredible! I had no idea this was going on; thanks for sharing!

TIL about operation Anthropoid, the only successful WW2 government-backed operation against a high-ranking nazi by Flagstaff in c/til@lemmy.world

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 19 points 7 months ago

The movie was absolutely incredible. I highly recommend Anthropoid to everyone. It's not for the faint of heart.

34% of the US population doesn't vote. Why do polticalitcians cling to the idea that these voters can't be reached? by Flagstaff in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 19 points 9 months ago

I don't think it will ever even happen because the winning party may just always think, "Good, don't vote; that allowed us to win more easily."

Does your family know? (programming.dev)

If so, how did they take it (I'm guessing "not well"), and where do things stand now?

Is there an app that can mimic multireddits? (programming.dev)

submitted 10 months ago by Flagstaff@programming.dev to c/lemmyapps@lemmy.world

17 comments fedilink

I thrived on daily reading of a few multireddits, which are specific clusters of the same subreddits, as my default view; I only went to the general feed for all of my subscribed communities every once in a while.

For example: https://old.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow+LifeProTips+dataisbeautiful

Is this possible on Lemmy?

What's your way to resolve sync conflicts? (programming.dev)

submitted 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) by Flagstaff@programming.dev to c/syncthing@programming.dev

Apparently, my phone (which is an intermediary across PCs) didn't sync properly and now I have a couple of sync conflicts of spreadsheets (specifically LibreOffice Calc's .ODS files). These are... kinda large tables I've got here, with multiple tabs.

Normally with .TXT files I can easily use VSCodium's file-comparison feature to instantly spot highlighted line discrepancies on both sides, but how might you resolve spreadsheet conflicts?

Is there no other way than to page down monitor-size by monitor-size in each file, Alt+Tabbing from one to the other and visually inspecting for changes every step of the way until you spot something (hopefully)? I can't think of any less-tedious way...

... apart from, hmm, I guess my own folly in not noting version changes at the top of each file. I guess I'm only used to doing that with actual code... but I may have to start doing so with all synced, regularly edited files...

[Expired] Play Store is offering a $2 discount right now (programming.dev)

Check your account; I'm not sure if this was targeted at me or if everyone got offered it, but I used the offer on Slice & Dice after weeks of repeatedly playing its demo and am loving it!

Does anyone know what Syncthing-Fork's latest version update is for? (f-droid.org)

submitted 10 months ago by Flagstaff@programming.dev to c/syncthing@programming.dev

4 comments fedilink

Man, I don't understand why Catfriend1 just puts a literal period or bullet point for the version notes. It always freaks me out into wondering if the account was hacked and if the app was compromised and would cause file deletion or something. This app has become too useful!

Unedited comments get marked as edited on "submission," despite no changes (programming.dev)

submitted 10 months ago by Flagstaff@programming.dev to c/thunder_app@lemmy.world

2 comments fedilink

Post a comment
Begin editing that comment
Press the pencil-icon "submit" button without actually having edited anything

Expected outcome: nothing happens to the comment
Current outcome: the comment gets a pencil mark

I don't remember how I ended up doing step 3 (I think I meant to edit yet accidentally hit the "submit" button), but that was my observation of this fringe issue, anyway.

Copying links in comments doesn't close the share panel (programming.dev)

Go here https://lemmy.today/comment/14903795
Hold your finger over any of that comment's links
Copy the link

Expected behavior: the share panel should close

Current behavior: it doesn't, which sometimes confuses me into thinking I didn't actually tap the button

It was their first time experiencing VR and one of them said they could play QubeFall for hours! It's such a bummer that that game never made it out of its prototype stage.

I have a bunch of questions: Whats the best way to get this platform's feed to compete with reddit? by Flagstaff in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 19 points 11 months ago

We're not? I'd love to see this take down Reddit, as miraculous as that'd be.

If it's in the same line as the username, it gets overrun by the domain (for those of us who like to see user domains).

I don't get it. How does Dec4 = Luigi?

Steam Deck Gaming News by Flagstaff in c/games@lemmy.world

[-] Flagstaff@programming.dev 19 points 11 months ago

Hail, fellow ex-redditor!

I had no idea until now that Junk-Store existed, probably because I'm part of the PC master race. It sounds like it's entirely for the Deck.

That is really cool that you know the Heroic devs. Tell them that it really needs a last-added sorter so we can see what was most recently added to our collective libraries.

would dating my ex friend be worth it, do you think he could love me and would calm down if i said yes or am i just thinking this out of sadness? by Flagstaff in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

ik he doesn't care about consent

That's it. That's all your post needed to include. Literally everything else is unnecessary. Your history with your ex is irrelevant to this critical factor.

This is the only piece of information that matters, and it screams, "Hell, no." This man shouldn't exist in your romantic space.

Fight the loneliness by working hard over a year to build platonic friendships with groups of people. And then you'll be able to reenter the arena of romance with a level head, unclouded. Don't let loneliness cave your standards down. That almost never leads to anything lasting and satisfactory. I'm sorry for the pain you're going through but the guy you say you're considering will only severely worsen things, based on your descriptions.
