After letting them pass many times (well, one of them, the other's more recent), this time i said "Meh, let's do it this time" and got Untitled Goose Game and Little Kitty, Big City. Both got me hooked immediately, did all the achievements for the kitty and nearly all for the goose (there's some for speedrunning, and I'm not really into doing that, so likely those achievements are gonna stay undone forever). Both were fun and would recommend them.
At this point is there anybody left not upsettero? 😅
Noted! Have been following the manga but i guess the novels will be further ahead, thanks for the heads up!
The blond-haired hero duo has fully at this point morphed into Team Rocket 😂
Yeah, hope for more seasons
Second season! Yay!
I have to be the one to come defend Rimuru as somebody who's catching up to the novels (I'm like 3-4 books behind the official translations). Oh yeah, several "Meeting Episode" in a row will disappoint people, but just hang on, now we're in the Rozzos story arc which while by itself is not the most exciting (they're financial enemies, by nature the fights are not gonna be too flashy), it does bring fun stuff thanks to the festival, both interesting new characters and fun events, and i do believe it's at this point that we get some fun demon action. Then there's one interesting story arc i cannot even name as it's in itself a spoiler, AND THEN it's multiple novel volumes of just war and more war, which should completely satiate all the battle nuts. Not sure how far we will go this season but i anticipate the rest of it should be more fun than just people sitting in meetings (which i nevertheless defend because those explain all the stuff that's happening).
If i recall from the manga Makoto mentions he CAN'T see those two in that way no matter how hot they look because he cannot forget their true forms, which honestly is something i can understand
Isn't that USUALLY the theme with isekai stories? Either the crappy super-generic edgy ones represented by SAO ("I'm the very special boy who's super duper OP and will conquer the world and somehow have a harem of girls trying to woo me despite having no personality"), or the dramatically better ones represented by Rimuru and others of "started in the shittiest spot and eventually became world-class with hard work"? Because that's EXACTLY what i sign on when starting one of these series, i know the basic tropes and wanna see how they develop whatever the latest one being discussed does, the fact that they follow familiar beats is not necessarily a bad thing as much as HOW they do it, i haven't heard of this one yet so cannot comment on it, but seen a few that were enjoyable despite following some predictable beats, and yeah, many crappy ones we can forget, i just wanna know where this one falls
The Beehaw maintainers already said they plan to move to something else, as when they complained about unimplemented moderation features the devs acted like douchebags and outright told them to leave the platform if they didn't like it, when they move on from Lemmy i will follow them to whatever they move to, hopefully still on Fedi
You assume they give a fuck
This is precisely for the master password of your password manager, the one you actually need to be highly secure but memorable

I am very out of the loop with related recent tech, but once in a while i wish i had subtitles for internet clips, and i understand there's good tech out there for this these days. Is there something i can download in a typical headless Debian machine that i can then point at some MP4 clip to get subtitles? Even if imperfect it's better than trying to type that from scratch
After episode 12, we're on chapter 34 of the manga out of 97, on a series with a promised 24 episodes, by Trigger which has never done multiple seasons of any show, and which has adapted the story EXTREMELY close to the source without rushing anything.
Am i the only one worried about how the hell are they gonna adapt the remaining chapters in the remaining 12 episodes?
Unless Trigger breaks their streak and they actually have a second season of one of their shows for the first time in their history (I'm ABSOLUTELY IN if they do), i just don't see how they're gonna do it, they have NOT rushed any part of the story yet, and i don't see much if anything of the manga that could be safely cut without structurally compromising the story.
Do we know if they have promised an S2 or something? What do we know?
A couple weeks ago Discord announced their plans to go down the IPO route. This means that there is now a ticking clock until the platform goes full-on enshittified like so many others before them.
Last time i checked last year there weren't many options to migrate to, mostly Matrix communities (which are not quite the same thing) and Revolt Chat (which is a non-federated but FOSS and self-hostable drop-in replacement for Discord). Revolt sounds like the logical route as it's clearly designed for just this exact role, but it seems it's still early in development and not yet ready for the average Discord user (looks like the voice functions in particular are still in development)
Has this changed or improved since then? I feel like the use case of "IRC servers, but modern!" should have been solved years ago but feels like it hasn't, i have lots of non-technical people who heavily use Discord who I'd love to rescue from it before it starts actively burning, a replacement that isn't complicated and has all it's features would be welcome.
First focusing on AI and now this, already cancelled my donations, do we have a good fork to move to?
Hundreds of pirate sites are currently inaccessible after a domain issue at a single registrar stripped them of functioning DNS.
The AnimeBytes outage from yesterday was because of this, DNS registrar seems to have gone down with all it's .tv domains, and this has taken down lots of sites
Initial reaction from one of the main admins was that if in 12 hours there had been no news they'd nuke the servers, seems like they're not gonna do it anymore. Many domains registered by one admin were seized at the same time, so might not even be aimed at the tracker. Waiting for more news.
Update: Looks like the DNS registrar itself was the one that went down and took lots of sites with it, TorrentFreak article: 100s of Pirate Sites Go Dark as .TV Domains Placed on ServerHold - TorrentFreak

Well shit...
The popular language-learning program Duolingo cut 10 percent of its contracted translators last month amid a generative AI push.
Duolingo is very much on the Enshittification path, seems like they fired a number of translators and have the rest just proofreading AI.

Twillio just announced they're discontinuing the Desktop version of their popular Two Factor Authentication client. Their proposed solution is for users to move to the mobile app, which of course doesn't fulfill the use case of people who explicitly chose Authy because it had a desktop client.
If you use Authy and depend on the Desktop client you will have to consider migrating to something else.
Today somebody in a group I'm in which has some accessibility issues was yet again complaining that their Dragon Speaking software was not playing nice with Firefox, which led me to see if there was an alternative, and surprisingly i found none workable at the plain user level beyond Dragon, and upgrading for that person might actually be costly (From what they say it starts at nearly $200 but apparently can go as high as $700? Not clear yet).
So, obviously now I'm checking about the FOSS side of things, a search has been inconclusive as i see stuff for developers, multiple different projects (which is a marked improvement from a decade ago when i last tried and failed to do this), but so far haven't found anything at the user level.
Have i overlooked something? Or is it that we're many years later still at the "building libraries" stage without actual user-level stuff people can just apt-get or download?
Quick edit: I must insist, is there something for USERS, not DEVELOPERS, that i have overlooked? APIs or commandline programs or learning models are not a software i can hand to my non-programmer friend to install on their computer to replace Dragon to help them write on Firefox
So, a relative that all she plays in her tablet is solitaire, saw ads of some mobile crap full of microtransactions and now wants some of those. I said i'd check if there was games kinda like those (all puzzles of some sort), and would highly prefer if they're all FOSS to avoid or at least highly reduce the chance they're gonna turn into microtransaction-laden crap or start syphoning all the data in the phone or something. But given that i don't really play in mobile i have no idea what's available. Checking on F-Droid it just lists every game in the "games" category, "Show all 467 packages", not separated by genre or with ratings or anything Is there a place to look up this kind of thing?
Original comment, copy-pasted for convenience:
>why do so many projects start with a discord and not with a wiki, or github, or web presence?
> simply, discord is the fastest, most frictionless way to do the following:
> - garner a community of support ensuring that there is an audience for the project > - provide access to idea validation for the creators of that project. rapid feedback for their project = rapid progress > - provide the easy creation of (not necessarily accessible nor good, but) quick resources for the project
> forums, websites, hell even github can only hope to match the value proposition of discord, and it's something people fail to take into account when they criticise the move to discord as a file host/forum/wiki/project website
> if you want people to make a file host/forum/wiki/project website, they're directly competing with the frictionless, fast, yet unsustainable and frankly web-shit discord. the fast, frictionless nature is enough for people to use and accept, hell, even to make infrastructural to their project
> a platform that could create a non-webshit, easy way to provide the value that discord provides, all while being just as fast and frictionless if not faster/more lubricated, would absolutely blow discord out the water
I am a sysadmin and my level of tech friction tolerance is different from the people referenced here leading projects, but I'd like to gather opinions on this, the fact that this regularly happens as described suggests there's a whole lot of truth to it, but i feel like it's overstating the friction, am i wrong here?
We have a machine running some stuff on Docker, and little by little it has started to become important to keep an eye on it. However, looking for information on monitoring a Docker server it always seem to assume you're running it in Swarm mode, which is not and WILL NOT be the case of this machine, Swarm adds a layer of complexity unneeded in this case.
What do you recommend for this case? I for one would love if the thing didn't just give you a view of the things running on it but also gave you notifications if something went wrong (like if a container had to be restarted, or if one suddenly started eating all the CPU or something unusual).
The much maligned "Trusted Computing" idea requires that the party you are supposed to trust deserves to be trusted, and Google is DEFINITELY NOT worthy of being trusted, this is a naked power grab to destroy the open web for Google's ad profits no matter the consequences, this would put heavy surveillance in Google's hands, this would eliminate ad-blocking, this would break any and all accessibility features, this would obliterate any competing platform, this is very much opposed to what the web is.
Seen a few ways but all seem to be with deprecated/abandoned methods or tools

Ideally one that can use more than one disk so that i can expand it later when i can. Have some minimal experience with Synology since there's one at work and i have interacted with it a couple times and like the interface, but am not married to any brand as long as it works.

After many days i finally received my GDPR data request, which i supplemented further with reddit-user-to-sqlite, so i have a nice full local copy of my account. Now I'm torn on whether to fully shred the data of the account or just delete it:
- On one side, i highly dislike the idea of willingly contributing to a Wisdom of the Ancients scenario, although it might be a moot point anyway since it looks like Spez wants to wall off Reddit after all
- On the other, fuck Spez and i don't wanna contribute a single cent to their profits
- And as an additional point, it's rather unsettling the amount of info you can gather of somebody from their Reddit posts, just from a privacy point of view
What are your opinions on this?
Edit: Just deleted my RemindMeBot reminders, somehow that felt like it had almost the same finality as deleting my account somehow...
