@Michael Vogel @Hypolite Petovan

Until the pull request is merged and pulled on squeet.met, you can go to User Menu -> Settings -> Account -> Basic Settings and change your "Full Name" which will change your display name as well. In this field you should see "oldie" at the moment.


Thank you for this step-by-step guide.

Note for Michael: I only received the two comments from Hypolite Petovan via email, but not in this discussion.

Earlier this year I converted my old subspacelink.com domain into a mastodon site. I've now begun restoring one of my old domains, holodeck3.com to being a new Star Trek fansite once again. Check it out, I'm quite proud of my progress.

Suggestions for resources to find free/libre #games for #linux ?

Usually I just rely on the package manager to check out/try out games, but one of the main things it lacks is screenshots.

Here are a few websites I found as resources:

gamingonlinux.com/free-games/

savannah.gnu.org/

libregamewiki.org/GPL_games

It would also be nice if there was a reliable place where libre games have "ratings" so I can decide wether a game is even worth downloading.

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽฎ

Hey, couple of simple question if I may please:

First) just clicking through to this bundle and the first three games I clicked on said they were supported on windows or macos, but no mention of linux. Do we know if they run on linux?

Second) is a steam membership / subscription / etc necessary to get these, or are they (as a very old school guy) just a download?

Ty!

in reply to pspinler

@pspinler

First) I literally list the compatibility for each title, read the article properly

Second) All Steam keys unless otherwise stated

I can't even...they're going to remove blocking from #Twitter or #X or whatever the fuck it's called today.

This is absolutely brain-dead. Muting only stops you seeing them. Blocking prevents them replying with shit that others will see, that you then can't see. Removing blocking is just so stupid.

So many reasons why a hard block is necessary from bots to harassment. They don't stop just because you can't see them ffs.

Dear #fediverse friends,

Stop saying "there's no algorithm here".

"Chronological" *is* an algorithm.

It has pros, and it has cons.

Which means, at the moment I don't have any algorithmic freedom on Mastodon.

To make this post a bit spicier: on Twitter we can choose 2 algorithms, on Bluesky many.

Lack of algorithmic freedom is a feature for some, a bug for others. But let's call it by its name.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

And there's an expense process in the bylaws (wiki.social.coop/wiki/Bylaws) so that the coop can pay other people to do the implementation work if they don't have the necessary skills to do it themselves.

Their process is pretty similar to what I outlined earlier ("Write clear descriptions [...] Get feedback on that [...] write code, or convince someone else, or pay someone else").

But it starts with someone taking the initiative.

If not you, then who?

in reply to Nik

yes, in this case there is a specific governance framework. It does involve effort and certain kinds of skill. But it also means that nontechnical members have the ability to directly allocate funds to achieve a certain thing through a collective process. It is not just on me, it is on us.

Went to Mountain "Lake" yesterday for a faculty retreat and I had to get some samples to look for microbes while I was there. Pretty epic mud.

The claim to fame of this lake is that Dirty Dancing was filmed here (when the lake was full). It is one of two natural lakes in Virginia and it has highly unstable water levels.

@kennypeanuts I'm not entirely sure, but I think that may have made it worse by blocking springs underneath. The geology is rather complex.


This is an incredibly important piece of this reality.
