Does anyone have any suitable "alternatives" in podcasts which are similar to the WAN Show in atmosphere? (As in: longer conversations about tech-adjecent topics) I don't feel comfortable wanting to go near LMG's content (my only consistent watching was the WAN Show to be frank) after these discoveries.
His comment didn't address two key issues for me:
- The "crunch"/tight scheduling of projects which led to sloppiness to begin with
- The constant need to correct, ranging from simple mistakes to very problematic methods.
I've been enjoying solely the WAN Show, but hearing about constant mistakes in benchmarks while praising "We want to show factual information on benchmarks for once.", is rubbing me in the wrong way. You can't rush benchmarking without QA and publish those results as fact. You get to choose for accuracy, or fast to churn content.
And Linus not mentioning something concrete on the first issue is worrying to me, not showing a clear intent to ease on rushing those benchmarks.
Not to mention, it's worth taking down a video if benchmarka are wrong even if the conclusion is "most likely to remain the same", which one cannot conclude with certainty without redoing it. It would be better transparency wise to either not knowingly publish wrong information, or put a more clear notice on said videos besides the description and a pinned comment.

I'll suggest Lemmesee as a word play on Let Me See and Lemmy. Some alternate possibilities regarding styling/spelling: LemmeSee, Lemmysee, LemmySee, LemmySy
Will definitely keep an eye out on the icon contest.
Don't get me wrong - I think an included battery that's rechargeable through USB is fantastic. Less customer inconvenience. But they should either go with a standard that's easily reproducible or go with regular rechargeable batteries.
Gotta go for ProtonMail. Have been running it for a year and I kinda like how it's doing.
An additional feature is SimpleLogin's "Hide My E-mail" Aliases, which are "burner" e-mail addresses to use with pre-determined SimpleLogin domains (you can add your own domains as well to go around Proton's custom domain limit). Those are included in the full suite and Family subscriptions. (10 a month when subscribing for a year)
There's also a cheaper variant for 3.50 a month but it lacks the SimpleLogin feature. You can get SimpleLogin seperately for 30 a year, however.
If it was so easy to replace them, with each Li-Ion battery being different for every type of device.
Since I got those from Ikea, I just want devices to go back to those types of batteries instead of internal battery packs. Still got to appreciate the Xbox controllers sticking to that principle (for now).
Any thoughts on overhauling cross-posting, to allow more interaction with the source interaction?
As far as I'm aware: currently when you cross-post, only the recipient instance gets all interactions (comments, upvotes), instead of duplicating or having the origin solely receive those.
The current implementation hampers the growth of smaller instances when reposting something to a bigger one. Discoverability is still there due to seeing from which instance the post originates from, but that's arguably not enough.
I used to have this issue, but 0.0.8 is now out. Obtanium pulls in that release just fine!
Try Obtainium, helps if an app isn't on F-Droid or Google Play Store.
Spotting Super Mario RPG in there, you might appreciate knowing some people actually recreated some songs with the original synths used by Yoko Shimomura herself.
I'm honestly a bigger fan of the classic DOOM I/II (199X) soundtracks. Despite being obvious parodies of existing rock/metal songs, they had a certain appeal. Especially when someone makes a very good cover.
I get why people like 2016's DOOM's more "metal" approach, but for me nothing beats an adrenaline-rush song when ripping and tearing those damned demons.
any game with a story
Minecraft, Terraria, Factorio, Satisfactory, Rimworld, Starbound...
Super Mario Galaxy (1+2). Orchestrated music should be a must for main Nintendo games at this point, outside of Zelda (and the Pokémon anime, although that one's not strictly Nintendo or used in actual games, sadly).
The Prevue channel definitely wow'd me with using an SQL database for the data and SDL to render that.
Exactly my thoughts. I was looking to see if he had any possible contact options to ask him to consider that, but haven't been able to find any to this date.

Thanks for letting us know! Here's the code repository, for those wanting to self host it: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym
I showed this to my friend (an instance owner) and he immediately went "Let's self host this". Really looks great. If someone could make it work somehow with RES, then it would be a total replacement.
Any specific recommendations, by any chance?
Also out of curiosity, how did you grab all the foreign pricing from Fanatical?
Quick Note: Outer Worlds is the Space Choice's edition, aka the remastered version of this year. It used to have big performance issues, but has been seemingly fixed with recent patches? It at least does not include the original game.
I could see both ads and subscriptions work (although, the former might be "useless" for those using adblockers, after all, so I'd see persistent/static sponsorship ads similar to how some FOSS projects do it to be more likely).
Especially the latter, for certain services that focus on providing value. A friend of mine mentioned Misskey for example, apparently being used by some Japanese artists. Considering Twitter's on its way out by being harmful to commission artists, I could see someone spin up such instance and ask X amount for providing a marketplace for commissioned goods.

Big recommendation on my part, these either have been good emulations for the Switch console or amazing ports/remasters (Fantasy Zone, Virtua Racing). Some of the emulated titles even got bonus features like a moving border based on gyro along with sound effects to make it seem like you're using the real fancy arcade cabinets. > > > > The series has been developed by M2, a popular Japanese development studio responsible for many emulation collections like that of Castlevania, but also the Virtual Console emulators of the Wii U for the DS, GBA and TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine consoles.

Same applies to several recent comments I have made. Am I missing something, or is there something wrong with the instance at the moment? When logging off, I can see the post just fine on my own profile:
This is also the case when using the Android client (Jerboa), and when trying to hard-refresh pages etc.
