Thank you so much for the detailed answer 🙏

Squad is definitely one of them! Also the Battlefield Collection is on 89% sale (only includes the ones since 2011 tho)

Basic, but Ubuntu. It’s got snaps which are slow and generally suck, plus Canonical

A bit old, but gold: Fate (the dungeon crawler one). It’s a bit low-poly by today’s standards, but it’s so fun and has killer music, lots of spells and weapons, tons of interesting enemies and can be beaten in like 6 hours.

Between the recent breach and the clear sentiment behind their staff, I really don’t know why anyone chooses CircleCI over GitHub / GitLab Actions.

Is kbin.social still going to federate?

I just want to say I completely agree with you. If we want to withstand the companies at the helm of the Internet right now, we have to make it impossible for them to extinguish us. I think that’s what we’ve essentially done with ActivityPub, and frankly I don’t see any way they can try to take us down by normal means.

I mean, what are they gonna do? Pull the VERY loyal people from kbin.social or Lemmy.world into Threads? Or the people from Mastodon?

It’s safe to say the people who have been here 5 months (or even more!) are not really keen on using Facebook 2.0, and we aren’t really the demographic they’re targeting. We also aren’t exactly the biggest demographic, with the Fediverse being a couple million people afaik.

I think if anything we have the most to GAIN from federation. People will know about our little public ad-free corner of the Internet. It’s downright silly to throw up pitchforks just because “Meta bad” because - at the end of the day - HOW will they destroy the Fediverse?

Interesting, thank you for sharing. I’ll have to give it a go next time!

For anything lower-spec (like, <4Gb of RAM), Ubuntu absolutely CHUGS because of Snaps. Flatpak has no such issue.

Ironically, Lubuntu (a lightweight Ubuntu fork) worked the best for me while I was using it. No slowness, but I installed pretty much everything using Apt (didn’t know about Flatpak back then).

I ended up having it lock up and freeze on the sign-in page though, so I moved on to the slightly heavier Linux Mint.

I think this is the perfect post to bring up XWayland.

That being said, I haven’t used it yet (so I can’t comment on whether it works flawlessly)! Can anyone elaborate on their experiences with it? I’m curious on it and don’t have my hands on a Linux machine at the moment

Not here to comment on the Justin Roiland thing, just here to say you should watch Karl Jobst on the whole Completionist controversy

It really is so good. I haven’t played in years but not by choice haha

Doomed by I Prevail

People definitely still play Planetside 2

I can also back that up! KDE feels way faster than Gnome (and especially Cinnamon) on older computers

When I had a miserable case of Covid (the variant that gives extreme nausea) the only way I was able to eat anything at all was saltine crackers. The only way I could drink anything was ice cubes (sucking on them slowly)

Try those out! If they don’t work, definitely call a doctor. Have someone check up on you, last thing you want is to black out and die (which is very easy to have happen)

Lemmy.world as Picard Maneuver explained, but also Artemis.camp is down too (which is ~1000 people).

Wow, I was not expecting to read Civilization: Call to Power in this comment section. There are so few people who even mention the game!

If you’re not in there already, there is a Discord for the Call to Power games you should totally join: https://discord.gg/qwe83zjXES
