It’s not super old but I patiently waited for a sale on the Repentence DLC for The Binding of Isaac. Besides the new content it’s also a sort of v2.5 of the game (if Rebirth/Afterbirth was v2.0) with many quality of life changes. Admittedly some of the changes were a bit startling at first but I quickly got used to them and after a few hours it felt like home again.

I have about 500 hours in Isaac and this refresher has breathed new life into it so perhaps I am good for another 500.

I’ve been waiting forever for this to get a real price cut but instead it just got 50% more expensive. I guess I will just have to be patient for another decade.

Nice, now just another year to go while they fix it to run well on the Steamdeck.

If you have an email workflow that you like then something like rss2email might be an option. You simply feed your incoming rss into your email. You’ll want to auto-tag (or otherwise organize) these emails to keep them separate from regular emails. Then you use your usual email tools to organize them further.

I’ve been using such a setup for the past 15 years.

With Fez I feel I may have forever missed the window when I could have picked it up. It used to go on sale for $1.99 with an all time low of $0.99. Now it never gets under $4.99.

In a vacuum I’d probably just pick it up for 4.99 but knowing the pricing history I just can’t do it.

This is a personal decision but I think it’s better to be pragmatic about it. If your country of origin permits dual citizenship I’d do the naturalization simply because it gives you more flexibility. It’s a more secure status, no need to worry about renewing or spending longer periods abroad. And you get to vote of course.

Citizenships and passports are bureaucracy and they don’t define who you are, that comes from your heart. I’d look at it as a practical matter.

My understanding is that Germany is looking to start permitting dual citizenship later this year.

I’ve been using various Aftershokz/Shokz models for many years and well over a thousand hours. They are a great option for speech-focused contents like podcasts, audiobooks and that’s what I use them for. I almost never use them for music, the lack of bass (even with earplugs) just doesn’t do it for me. But I don’t find any earbuds satisfactory for music either so maybe I am more picky than most.

I agree with OP about the controls. They are workable but could be much better even considering the limited inputs. I particularly hate the choice of triple-click for backwards-seek and I mess up the timing half the time. Another pet-peeve is the loud beep on play/pause that cannot be turned off. Using the phone/computer controls instead of the on-device ones avoid these issues.

As far as models I originally got the Aeropex and later on “downgraded” to the OpenMove. The audio quality is comparable between the two, the only thing you are missing with the lower end model is comfort - but that is highly subjective! I actually prefer the way the OpenMove feels.

I really wish that there was more competition in this space. The Shokz products are a bit overpriced and slow to evolve and the rest of the options I’ve seen seems lower quality and worse form factor. Would love to hear if anybody has found a different brand that they prefer over the Shokz models.

Costs a lot less than therapy too.

I’m only here to appreciate OP’s username. Quazatron is such a cool game, I still fire it up every once in a while.

Imagine the person (or more likely a whole group) who has spent weeks designing and iterating over those arrows.

Interesting that they went with the possessed teletubby look.

I use parcellite. Sensible UI, has all the functionality I need and it’s not tied to any desktop environment.
The functionality I care about:

• history, including customizable persistent entries
• customizable key bindings
• handles both primary and selection and can sync them
• can trim whitespace
• can launch customizable actions on the active entry

I am pretty sure that giving you more control over your device is not what they have in mind.

Some kind of federation for hashtag follows is what I’d like to see the most. Currently I am using a larger instance mainly to get a good chunk of the traffic for the hashtags that I am interested in. The ability to filter content for user follows would help in this area too. I want to be able to follow a user but only see their posts with specific hashtags.

Oh, and markdown support! Really miss having a proper way to do lists, literals and code blocks.

keyd has a list-keys sub-command that lets you list all valid key names and also monitor to print the names of keys as you press them.

The linked post has some analysis of Reddit’s loss off traffic based on SubredditStats data. I noticed the same trends when I was looking earlier but some of the drop-offs look so dire that it made me think that maybe the data collection broke. Any idea how they get their data?

Edit: there is some discussion of this over at [email protected] too. lemmy.world link to that thread.

mastodon.el is great if you are an Emacs user, works very well and you have all the usual Emacs conveniences on hand.
For Lemmy so far I am sticking with the default web UI and Jerboa. Tried some other alternatives but I keep coming back to these.

Fedilab is #1 in the “Top Paid” category! (US)

Fedilab is an open source client for Mastodon and some other fediverse protocols (no Lemmy yet). The Google Play paid version is a way to support the developers.
