I haven’t seen anyone mention Mirror’s Edge yet! The free running (especially in the first game) is such a unique and rewarding experience. A little janky and frustrating sometimes but when it clicks it just feels so good

Where do you have that running? I set it in my i3 config and it never takes properly on my laptop. On my desktop I ended up just doing it in hardware because it was easier

This is horrendous. I love it

I’m not on Twitter, what’s happening?

I’ve heard arguments that back in ye old days each row only had 80 characters and variable names were shortened so you didn’t have to scroll the page back and forth

This is super common with fighting games. The expectation is that people will be playing on all kinds of input devices, many of them custom. I wonder if part of it comes from the older game’s tutorials being written for arcade cabinets where that’s how the buttons were actually labeled

This is pretty normal in the US if you’re using the ISP provided router

This has been a project I’ve always wanted to do! Yours looks great!

If I’m buying a product with FOSS in mind it would make a difference to me

I definitely feel this happening for me as well. The weirdest/hardest part for me has been getting used to not being able to answer everyone’s questions. I’m less familiar with the facebook/twitter/amp webpages side of the internet now and having to learn to cope with not being my friends one stop shop for everything on the internet

Explaining why something is bad advice is as important as saying it is. Otherwise it’s just a pissing match between two random people on the internet. Why also keeps people from making similar problems.

Disclaimer that I haven’t used Tor in a while, do your own research, etc

The US navy designed and open sourced the Tor network. If all the traffic meant to be anonymous was coming from the US navy it doesn’t work well as an anonymizer. There’s been various claims that they have backdoors over the years, but to my knowledge none have held water.

Unless you’re running an exit node (which requires different software than the Tor browser) other people’s traffic isn’t getting routed through you so you’re fine legally.

VPNs are not very good at protecting you from the websites or services you connect to. They’re best used to hide where you’re connecting to from your ISP. Modern fingerprinting using things like browsing habits, installed software, web browser size, cookies, etc is barely effected by VPNs and the Tor browser takes care of an minimizes lots of those tools.

The biggest issue for day to day use for me is how slow it is. Because your traffic is being routed through 3-5 nodes before getting to its destination overall speed and latency suffer a lot

Give me neovim or give me death

Factorio?

Looks like something JetBrains

Yeah, but it’s also limited to usb 2 speeds and it’s brutal to have to move any amount of data to/from and iphone.

If I click on a username there’s a big block button in the top right hand corner of the screen. The “Blocked” tab on my profile settings also suggests the ability to block communities. I’ve heard that kbin supports blocking entire instances at a user level, but only instances can defederate from instances on lemmy
