Lemmy's sorting options are so much better than Reddit's and allow long-term discussions
  • It's probably because the algorithm was tuned for a smaller community. As soon as posts got hundreds of comments it likely made things stay at the top for a very long time. Definitely something that will get tuned over time.

  • LORDS OF THE FALLEN - 'Dual Worlds' Gameplay Showcase

    I hated the first Lords of the Fallen, but I won't lie, this looks insanely cool. I'll keep this game on my radar.

    Don't let the simple graphics fool you, BattleBit is apparently a really good Battlefield clone that gathered quite a bit of cult following from its closed alpha tests. Looking forward to this.

    📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️
  • Makes literally no sense to me that Reddit couldn't afford to provide a price exception to 3rd party apps that have helped grow their community and website over the years. I've been using Reddit Is Fun for almost a decade now, and I'm not switching to their official app.

    Companies are getting too comfortable when they have no competition. Really hope a Fediverse alternative will kick off like Mastodon did (ironically I'm placing my bets on kbin even though I use Lemmy. Seems like the simpler alternative that'll be easier to invite people over).

  • Thoughts on minetest?
  • Minetest is really cool but it's always struck me as kind of a shameless Minecraft clone instead of trying to do something new. The graphics are identical, the UI is similar, the gameplay is practically the same, there isn't a huge reason to play it compared to Java Minecraft + mods. It is free and open source though, which is cool.

    I'm more of a Vintage Story enjoyer myself. It has its fair share of issues but I appreciate how it's not trying to be Minecraft.

  • Hey Apple, any chance you wanna maybe... contribute... to WINE?
  • This sound like you don't play games very much because that's not the case, at all. Not everyone has unlimited data caps and fast internet, and those that do would still rather play games locally than suffer input lag and video artifacts. With consoles and PCs being as powerful as ever and still affordable I don't think the cloud gaming market will ever be mainstream.

    AlphaDev discovers faster sorting algorithms
  • This is the stuff that makes me really excited for AI. Sure, having a personal assistant is nice. Generating images and music is also very cool. Optimizing software and hardware though, this is where things get amazing.

    Modern software is pretty abysmal when you think about it. In the last 20 years we've focused more on making things faster rather than making more optimized things. We ended up with ultra bloated operating systems, regularly 100mb+ apps, RAM sucking programs like web browsers and background apps that make even 8 gigabytes of RAM not enough, and so on.

    I'm waiting for a point where AI can start optimizing legacy code and say "Wait, this is really dumb and wastes so much energy". Imagine Windows running on only 100mb of ram. Imagine apps and websites being 10x more efficient than they are now. It's not that crazy of a concept, only a matter of time.

  • 18 Minutes of Final Fantasy 16 Dungeon-Crawling Gameplay | IGN First
  • The game looks great but I'm worried the enemies might be too spongy. Every fight shown in many gameplay videos is just the player wailing in a big slow enemy for 2-3 minutes until they die.

    Ah well it'll be a million years until it gets ported to PC anyways. Still hyped.

  • High-Paying ChatGPT Careers: 30% Of Companies Seek Nontech Professionals For $300,000+ Salaries
  • These numbers seem made up. The article even states Anthropic is hiring people with basic programming skills. I looked up the open jobs at their website and nothing suggests what they're talking about.

    According to a ResumeBuilder.com survey, nearly 29% of companies plan to hire prompt engineers in 2023, and about 25% of them anticipate starting salaries exceeding $200,000 per year.

    Okay, this article is complete BS to try and drum up more hype for AI. Nobody is, or ever will, hire "prompt engineers" for high salaries. Bet whoever wrote this is going to try and sell a course on how you, too, can be a millionaire with one simple trick.

  • Is there any way to disable a flashing light when you switch communities or open a post?

    It's driving me a little insane how the transition from one screen to another fades to white. It feels like I'm getting flashbanged. Is there any way to disable this? I couldn't find much in the options.

    TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge - Dimension Shellshock DLC | Reveal Trailer
  • Although it does get too chaotic with over 3 players. I can't imagine playing with 6, at that point the players just take over most of the screen.

    I tried 4 players and it was a little too wild for me. Went back and played it with just 1 friend, the game feels made for 2 player imo.

  • Apple have made it easier to run Windows games on macOS
  • Good stuff. I've never been a fan of Mac but I'm glad video games are becoming less reliant on Windows, even through a compatibility layer. If games actually run well I might consider getting a Macbook for the battery life.

  • Summer Games Fest is 1 day away. What are your hopes?

    Summer Games Fest will probably be the event this faux-E3 season. What are you expecting/hoping to see tomorrow?

    I'm personally hoping for:

    • Another trailer for Judas

    • Elden Ring DLC teaser

    • Hollow Knight Silksong trailer

    • Hades 2 Release Date

    • Demon's Souls PC port (one can dream)
