I skimmed through the long compilation videos cause there are a few.
I’m pretty sure it was a game list video or a one of his normal videos… I feel like I remember him raving about the music and saying something like “Just listen to this”, and then an entirely too sick metal-ish riff goes off.
It could very well be a false memory though lol
Ugh it wasn’t NES, but there’s a SNESdrunk video out there with an OST clip that absolutely slapped, and I haven’t been able to find it again. I combed all the music-specific videos and then some. I’m not sure if it was even SNES or not. Thanks for reminding me :(
lmao I just said the same thing before reading your comment
Of course it’s just bad writing, but I kind of wouldn’t put it past management to try shoving their multitude of codebases through an LLM at this point.
The A stands for Automation, right?
I use keyd for software remapping now, and I like it a lot more than xkb’s esoteric options. It has functionality for layers like layer:C, where any “passthrough” input will have the defined modifier (or combo like C-S-M), but you can define whatever other bindings inside.
Long story short, I’ve used it to remap caps, control, shift (with a custom shift layer for some symbols), and meta, with overloads, double tap/hold into layers, oneshots, timeouts, and all sorts of (surprisingly fluid) nonsense. It’s so much easier than wading through xkb options for me.
To sidestep the question slightly less, I always got rid of capslock altogether instead of swapping. That still leaves true escape to be hit accidentally, but I think there should be an option to change escape too?
Edit: what I always used was
# make CapsLock behave like Ctrl:
setxkbmap -option ctrl:nocaps
# make short-pressed Ctrl behave like Escape:
xcape -e 'Control_L=Escape'
from here
I think I either tried that or didn’t want to bother lol. I guess it felt slightly less janky to click on another backend on nadeko. Gonna update freetube for sure though. I probably shouldn’t care to proxy videos that much.
Unfortunately the only invidious instance I’ve been able to rely on doesn’t enable the API endpoints. The admin is a real trooper though. I’m not sure if it’s the flagship.
True, that might be more in scope for a client. I do like the idea of a system baked into the protocol that “just works”, but I also know nothing about activitypub lol
Sounds like Screeps or Hackmud! But I think the heavier RPG focus might make it easier to get into. I keep falling flat on games like these, especially with the idea of a few veterans who are automation or async wizards. Definitely gonna look into it more.
Hereditary solely for that ending banger. Or anything by Atticus Ross and/or Trent Reznor. I recently rewatched the Book of Eli and it feels dated, but THOSE SOUNDS.
Brother, you just made one. The answer is deep inside yourself.
You’re totally right. My optimism gets around that by hoping if it isn’t Lemmy, this federation, that federation, some other new initiative or tech, community will find a way to make itself. I guess my bigger worry is accessibility and notoriety/viability, but I think that will always come in time too. There are smart, willing people out there, and gathering is human instinct.
I just made another comment that elaborated my stance more too.
I didn’t realize there was a trend of European users. I haven’t really thought about it, but Lemmy could use some sort of translation layer to facilitate multi-but-not-bilingual community. There’s a lot of German, French, Spanish, and Portuguese speakers I’d probably love interacting with and would never know! For now I rely on bilingual non-English natives or the little French I remember and just lurk.
I’m kind of sidestepping the point, but I think the average user will always be able to depend on the community to some degree, at least hopefully. All it takes is one savvy and willing user to support a huge section of community, bless the admins. If I’m being pedantic, most admins don’t own the hardware anyway, but that’s not the point. It’s not even the software necessarily. If it isn’t Lemmy itself, the spirit of independent web won’t go away. People will be always running Tor, I2P, fedi, I’ll even include crypto. The community isn’t the platform, it’s us.
I apologize for the uncalled-for Ted Talk.
To be optimistic, I’d hope the federation would be able to guard against deeper centralization like a more extreme .world or .ml, a la meta or whoever. There’s always space for grassroots instances, and I’m pretty sure there will always be someone out there running something or with enough interest to learn.
DivestOS has my attention as a graphene user. Not to switch, unless I ever get fed up with the pixel.
Divested is behind the Mull and Mulch browsers, for what it’s worth. I never looked deeper than using Mull, but apparently Divested is one person.
That brief period of time when Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube were “ok”
Maybe it’s just nostalgia
It’s not so much about estimating odds as it is limiting the potential downside. Hedging is the rational part of things lol
I’m down with the notion of resilience in fedi, but I don’t know if that’s necessarily the direct worry.
In the immediate, more trouble could be made at the protocol level, which I think is where EEE is more relevant, i.e. specific technologies rather than federation as a whole.
So in my mind, even bluesky might not have as much potential to mettle with, for example, activitypub. That is unless they can usurp it and make atproto what everyone is using, or pivot to it and take it over directly. They have no real sense of control, except in their bubble. Drowning out the grassroots fedi might be a real concern, but I’m not sure if that’s exactly EEE or not. Rather it would keep grassroots small while growing the non-grassroots presence, but not necessarily destroy it. That might just be semantics though.
I guess my point boils down to the fedi “network” vs the “plumbing” of the protocol. One is a concept, the other is concrete tech. And I agree there isn’t as much concrete threat as perceived, anyway.
