Godot quickly became one of my favourite open source projects to watch. I played around with it for a bit when 3D was clearly an afterthought and seen continuous improvement ever since.

-1 for INWX. Still waiting on a domain transfer, domain is stuck for about a month, chat support was useless

Yeah, min-max that shit and live your happily ever after.

I have it running. For epic games it mostly is a reminder to start Heroic, as the auto claim does not work for me. Gog rarely has free games, so I am not sure. Amazon Prime works fine (sometimes it has codes for gog/epic), which can also be used with Heroic.

Such a good series, but I deliberately didn’t mention it here as not to spoil too much😅

Religion might be right and you end up in the bad place

With modern life being as it is, we would be screwed either way in most religions. Everyone is probably breaking at least a couple of dozen rules in every religion.

Even if you just need to follow a central “be kind”-rule - how kind is it to buy stuff on Amazon, packed and delivered by wage slaves, which was imported from China (which may include child or slave labour) [or some US states for that matter] while also hurting the environment in the process.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Dauntless, one of Epic’s first exclusives is shutting down on May 29th. An (ironic) post about which was shared here on Steam, if you want to see it

I am a bit sad for what could have been. But I am not surprised at all.

The game basically always stagnated and content came way to slow. Cosmetics and the battle pass were updated regularly though. Anyway since the game was dying, they brought an “big rework” and brought the game, previously only available on Epic, to Steam.

The big rework changed most of the game into a grindfest/paywall, especially for new players. Old players were shafted as in weapons, builds, armour they spend time grinding for was removed from them to enable a “fresh start”.

That obviously did not turn out well with new and old players. And now they are going to the live service game graveyard. Anyway fuck Phoenix Labs (and more specifically Forte Labs, a bunch of cryptocurrency twats who bought the former studio), another company blacklisted and I will never buy anything from again.

Give everyone Indian accents?

Very, very cautiously. It looks better than previous games on Switch, but still not good. On the other hand: maybe they are showing this footage from a Switch 2.

The East was never really invested into after reunification

Gee, I wonder why, after having been screwed by the sovjiet regime for decades (first by complete destruction of all industry, then in regards to fair voting process) and then getting screwed by west Germany by complete destruction of all industry & a lot of scams running wild, thus leading to high unemployment, thus leading to all kind of fun things, like widespread drug abuse, which then leads to domestic abuse and poorer education, digging the hole even deeper.

This is a problem 75 years in the making and there is no help in sight.

It is OK to like a specific era and for that to be your favourite but to claim that modern music isn’t interesting is just a shitty take.

So much this. Claiming modern music is all bad or something has the same energy as

Well, it clearly isn’t finding Truth.

What benefits does RSS have over normal news sites?

Main benefit is that you don’t have to visit websites to get the news. And once the news are on your client it is up to you to decide how to work with it. Filter ads from articles, or remove all articles with the word “orange” from your feed, let an AI add a summary at the top, automatically fetch the full version of the text (if it isn’t already). RSS means you are in control of what and how you consume.

Are they more privacy-focused?

That depends on your client and configuration. Do you block/filter ads? Do you proxy images? Do you proxy the requests to the rss file?

What feeds would you recommend for a fellow Lemmy user?

This very drastically depends on the user. I have web comics, releases from GitHub, news, porn, tech/cooking/gaming blogs, general News, shopping alerts, my selfhosted change detection, YouTube feeds and more in there.

That is awesome. Was thinking about building a service which sends me the top X entries of a subreddit each week, but this is even better!

Too bad that that is a country tld, which means they could basically withdraw that from you at any point.

This old blog post summarises a lot of pain points: https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html

Similar to Brave (and more recently Proton) I simply can’t trust them, despite liking the idea of their respective services.

It was okay while I was using it. Just a bit pricey. But I stopped using it when they started the whole “EUs GDPR doesn’t apply to us” non-sense. Simply not a company I can trust to handle personal data properly.

Good catch, thought of the wrong translation apparently. To be fair, even deepl was confused.

I condemn burning books in general. But I disagree that this should be punished. Yeah, people feel strongly about the qur’an. Others feel strongly about the bible and others feel strongly about Harry Potter. Just because it has some sentimental value to some as long as it is his own copy I don’t see an issue.

If it works for you, there is no reason to switch.

The benefit for me is mostly the systemd integration (e.g. do a simple DB backup before running the container using StartExecPre) & the corresponding unified logging with journalctl. Then there is auto update and boot persistence without having to run an additional process.
