Interesting thoughts on this.

I think it's only natural as part of cultural transferral, as you mentioned, but would agree that games hit a little differently than films in this regard. I think this probably has more to do with Youtube's ability to transfer feelings of nostalgia around subjects in ways that previous generations didn't have moreso than gaming being different fundamentally.

It's certainly interesting times. When people younger than the games express nostalgia for games they didn't even play, it's always a bit of a double take. I would argue this is happening more with films as well, with things like Jurassic Park.

    Does Tuta work with external mail clients like Thunderbird and all that? How does that work vis-a-vis encryption?

    I dodged a bullet on proton, but this is something I'd like to know eventually as I feel like changing away from gmail is an inevitability.

    I agree but the silver lining here is that more geeks finally see what artists, writers and musicians had been complaining about for years. It took sucking the soul out of gaming and games preservation to finally convince a specific subset of the nerddom that, no, AI actually fucking sucks.

    Hey everyone,

    I bought a RK61Pro with the intent to flash a custom QMK onto the board. It was my understanding that Royal Kludge does somewhat OK flashable QMK keyboards that also offer wireless, but I'm not a bit worried now that this keyboard isn't compatible.

    I looked under the space key for the flash button as reported on the RK61 section of mk_firmware/keyboards and there was notably no button where I expected. Similarly, any attempt to hold escape or fn+escape or any of that when booting the keyboard did not result in a bootloader state like I'd expect.

    Perhaps I've been mislead, but is the RK61Pro not a valid QMK keyboard as it's advertised on Amazon? I've had a few issues with this keyboard up until now and was hoping to be able to flash it to remove some of the complex layer-state management that comes with the keyboards default configuration, but perhaps I'll have to complain to amazon about this product being misleading.

    They'd still do this even if they had the opportunity to not do it.

    I've said it before and I'll say it again-- the only thing AI is good at is defrauding others. It's literally what it is trained to do.

    I use Lemmy and Mastodon, so I'm not really a great person to ask.

    But I think all federated platforms have branding issues. "You should use Lemmy." What does this mean exactly? What site do you join? What app do you download on the phone?
