unicode proposal: you should be able to send an emoji with a specifier for which image set and version you want.

sometimes you want to send ๐Ÿ˜”, and you don't mind which version is displayed. but sometimes you want to send ๐Ÿ˜”, and have it specifically be the Samsung TouchWiz 7.0 (2016) version.

no other iteration of ๐Ÿ˜” captures the feeling of "sigh... if only my girlfriend Chiaki Nanami from Danganronpa 2 was real... then i could be her Ultimate Gamer Husband instead of studying for this lame physics exam..." quite like this one

@IngaLovinde yes but ideally every client would have to contain every iteration of every emoji set, so i could just send U+1F614 PENSIVE FACE followed by U+200D ZERO WIDTH JOINER and U+EA07 TOUCHWIZ SEVEN MODIFIER

This and the Google product manager for the Pixel image manipulation tools saying you have to "clean up" your photos (remove people, erase incidental objects, change lighting) so that the image records the "true memory" of the moment (meaning, of course, the false memory of it).

Gotta hand it to the Fediverse, people made their own Starter Pack thing (like Bluesky).

So obviously I'm jumping in to help you find people to follow.

My first pack is Gaming News: fedidevs.com/s/MjI3/

Feel free to reply here for suggested accounts for me to add to it. But please don't suggest completely random communities and people. It's for account posting proper gaming news.

Boosts appreciated.

Additionally, if someone wants to install multiple pieces of software at once, they can go on packagepicker.co and pick up what they want from the limited pool, the site will then generate a single command to run on the terminal (obligatory disclaimer to always be cautious of random scripts on the internet)

It's conceptually similar to Ninite on Windows

I tried #GemRB a couple of years ago but got the impression that it still wasn't a good experience, but still a curious experiment.

The worst part was how unstable it was, causing frequent crashes more often than the original game engines. This would be one of the most desirable traits, improved stability and crash management like you get with #OpenMW (The Morrowind open source engine project).

Has it gotten better? I can't seem to find any recent gameplay or reviews of it.

@msbellows thin section of a meteorite in cross polarized light; the meteorite has Martian signature; "Olivine macrocrysts (to 1.5 mm) and microphenocrysts (to 0.4 mm) are set in a finer groundmass of patchily zoned pyroxene, plagioclase (maskelynite), Ti-poor chromite, ilmenite, pyrrhotite and minor merrillite" (LPI)

I found his Instagram, he tags his uploads with "AI artwork" and "generative art", so definitely AI-generated. Anyhow, a disclaimer would've sufficed.

I feel like if I accomplish nothing else in life, I at least manage to get a few students a year to use password managers!

I personally use KeePass, which if combined with cloud storage (I use Nexcloud via @mayfirst) gets you the convenience of a cloud service without any company holding your keys.

On my Windows 10 machine, I can switch the audio output device by clicking on the speaker icon in the bottom right. It brings up a list. This list contains eight (8) items, only two of which I frequently use, and some of which relate to software programs I no longer use at all.The list can only show four at a time. The two I use ("LEN" and "LG") are at opposite ends of the list, so I have to scroll every time.

Is there a way to reorder this list, and/or to rename the devices more helpfully?

in reply to mcc

I donโ€™t know about reordering this list but you can disable sound devices you donโ€™t use. I only use Windows on other peopleโ€™s PCโ€™s, so going from memory:

  1. Right-click the speaker icon
  2. Click sound settings
  3. Find manage sound devices
  4. For each device you want to disable, there should be a disable button

The disabled devices will be removed from this menu. To reenable, just go back to manage sound devices.
