Looking forward to Emil Ferris’s My Favorite Thing Is Monsters, Book Two. I’ll probably reread Book One to prepare, in case anyone wants to join me! kottke.org/24/03/my-favorite-t…
For those who found Nextcloud is too challenging to install, the project developers have created an All-In-One solution that makes deploying Nextcloud incredibly simple.
Would you like to see higher adoption of Mastodon in higher education?
Here’s an opportunity “tip the scale” & show #CUBoulder that Mastodon can be an effective part of their social strategy while ALSO supporting an organization doing amazing work in the fediverse. If you use this link to donate to the College of Media, Communication & Information, the source of the donation will show up as coming from Mastodon.
The UI suggests $25, but you can donate as little as $1
Valve has released the second public Beta for Proton 9.0, what will become the next stable version of Proton for running Windows games on Steam Deck and Desktop Linux.
For game developers that want to continue selling games in Germany, they'll need to ensure they actually have a content rating, including for older games.
Doesn't getting your game rated cost a bunch of money? Asinine nanny-state move indicitive of a country with policy designed to spin wheels while going nowhere.
Damn, you caught me commenting before reading the article. A bad habit I have. Curious what value the law is even supposed to have if the rating is left to any random third party (which steam undoubtedly is, unless the German government is willing to provide certifications for game content raters employed by Valve). Germany, Australia, and a few other sovereign states have an odd obsession with policing the content of digital media.
Well, we have content rating since 1994 in Germany. The system has changed several times since then. Wolkenstein 3D for example got his rating 30 years after release. In the 90s you only were able to buy it under the table.
Compare to the policies from Korean government err legislation backed by some voters: The Korean government says their department rate all the games released in Korea unless it's for a religious cause, public welfare, or is in test period; They rate games and the content changes for a "cost" --They will decide whether a game patch would require another costly rating session. and the cost is not small for a small firm like a small startup company.
For game developers that want to continue selling games in Germany, they'll need to ensure they actually have a content rating, including for older games.
Anyone remember Desert Strike? Jungle Strike? Urban Strike? Well, Megacopter: Blades of the Goddess is for you! Built like the classics, although it looks a lot more wild, like something out of a fever dream.
and believe me upon the direction of the school board after the parent teacher meeting i had to consult the doctor for my child behavior. Like this seems so real in today's world except replacing the radio word with internet.
I find it interesting that they call the radio an "instrument". I like how it highlights that it occupies the same creative space as a musician would, and wonder if that could possibly be an awareness that faded with time as recorded music became more normalized.
Not the first time it has happened, and likely won't be the last unless Valve implement some more security checks, but recently a few games tried scamming players by renaming into other popular games.
After recently updating Proton Experimental to be based on the new Proton 9, Valve ended February 2024 with another bunch of bug fixes for Proton Experimental.

I noticed a number of people, myself included, were nervous about clicking on this routine. Then when we get to the punchline, the laughs are long and loud. So well done!
“Where are you off to?” “I have no idea.” “Are you lost?” “No, I am here.” “Glad to hear that.” “Where are you going?” “Home.” “What is home?” “Where I live.” “But you live here?” “Yes, home is where I shelter.” “Is it warm and soft?” “It is indeed.” “Take me with you.”
I spent my first decades as a generic white boy in tech, then a year ago I signed up for my first mastodon account and discovered I am a girl!
I post about tech, trans life, post selfies, and openly talk about mental illness and pain (cw'ed)
I’m a single parent w/ a 9 yo daughter, working as a software engineer in Seattle. I also write fiction (ya and speculative) and am generally very dorky.
btw you can be a girl if you want to be, inquire within!
We updated Nextcloud server releasing maintenance versions for Hub 4, 6, and 7. We recommend you to update your Nextcloud, as it is always a quick and safe process.
28.03 still shows problems. Upgrade from latest 27.x not running without errors. After manual corrections the log app shows errors while loading log files.
I keep thinking about how Amphotis marginata beetles trick ants into feeding them along the foraging trail... and after being tricked... the ants get angry. They attack the beetles who just flatten themselves and wait out the temper tantrum.
Is there an existing issue for this? I have searched the existing issues What feature are you suggesting? Yuzu Team long spit on Windows 7 hold-outs who refused regressive spyware like 10 or 11 jus...
Though I know not everyone can/wants/finds it better to use Linux, I still think this is the perfect reply to the "issue". Also I read the "I sent many messages to inform [Nintendo] about Yuzu" as "(childish voice) I'm telling on you, you meanie".
If they want to use a super old and outdated build of windows, why not just use an old and outdated version of yuzu? It's open source. it's not like an online service that magically invalidates old builds. This user loses nothing except future updates, but clearly they don't care about having the most up to date software.
Uber lies about everything, especially money. Oh, and labour. Especially labour. And geometry. Especially geometry! But *especially* especially money. They *constantly* lie about money.

I put a reminder on my calendar for 2/29/2028 to play it again. Doing so raised a lot of questions for me: will the game still be there? Will npckc make a different 2/29 game for 2028? Will I still have this calendaring system in four years? Will the world and my life be in a state where I feel able to take 10 minutes for a little game? *incoherent mumbles about climate change and politics*
