What Mastodon server are you on?
  • I'm over at https://mastodon.gamedev.place and enjoy it a ton.

    There are a number of prolific game designers as well as tons of indie devs sharing knowledge + life updates. A very cozy instance without any hateful BS.

  • Steam Summer Sale is now live
  • what kinds of things are you guys gonna pick up?

  • FYI: You all know lemmy.world (instance) is consistently failing to send to other instances, right?
  • Also keep in mind that defederating (blocked instances) will prevent posts and comments from syncing between instances as well.

    You can see blocked instances on lemmy.world here: https://lemmy.world/instances

  • What is your favorite way to spend money?
  • Yooo nice. Speaking of which have you found any good fashion / fit sharing communities on lemmy/kbin/masto? Most of what I find is just "look at this celeb wearing Dior" and I am fr yawning

  • I feel you. I have written browser automation scripts to press "I am not interested in this ad" buttons for me it gets so bad 💀

  • Who are your favorite creators on Patreon / kofi?

    I've found Patreon to be really rewarding (hidden gems in the game modding space, music producers, technologists + tinkerers of all kinds), but am curious about the vast number of other creators out there.

    Do you have any favorites or even just a list of folks you support on Patreon or kofi?

    What is your favorite way to spend money?

    Over my life, I've noticed that my expenses for living fall into one of three buckets:

    1. Exciting buys
    2. Wise purchases
    3. Necessary costs

    But I'm mostly curious about that first one...

    What is your favorite kind of exciting buy?

    My exciting buy might be a new musical instrument even though I have plenty, a new video game, purchasing art, a vacation, a luxurious meal, etc.

    And less on the fun side of things, my other categories would shake out like:

    • A wise buy might be investing in a house or business, putting money away for savings, or spending a premium on a BuyItForLife kind of purchase to avoid buying a new one every year.
    • A necessary buy is probably the same as most others: housing costs, utilities, clothing, household goods, food, transportation, etc.

  • Looks great, love the alignment on mobile apps lol

  • Watching over hell
  • honestly, game needs more of these vistas!

  • Bootstrap Themes with Ansible Install
  • According to the docs, there should be a lemmy-ui folder that was created by the Ansible install. Within that folder, the app is set up to search for an extra_themes folder by default.

    For native installation (without Docker), themes are loaded by lemmy-ui from ./extra_themes folder. A different path can be specified with LEMMY_UI_EXTRA_THEMES_FOLDER environment variable.

    Digging into the docker-compose.yml file used by the Ansible playbook, it looks like this is where extra themes directory is mapped into the lemmy-ui service.

  • I'm using Gitea and it's been wonderful.

    • I run it as a Windows service - I know I know, I should containerize it 😄

  • Like a fission reaction between cope, capitalism and hypetrain grease. Compels me though 🤔

  • Star Citizen costs exceed Cyberpunk 2077, GTA 5, and RDR2 combined
  • Absolutely no way Star Citizen isn't a massive scam. I mean, people can be incompetent, but

    over $580 million

    ...seems like it has to be some kind of upper limit of incompetence?

    Relive the Internet of the ’90s With ‘Neocities’

    Have always had a huge soft spot for Neocities, happy to see it getting some time in the news.

    I made this dumb game years ago and it somehow is just still there, being a weird HTML game on Neocities.
