Not sure it counts but nostalgia kicked in and I replayed Chrono Trigger yesterday. Sadly I messed up at the fair in the beginning so I’m soon going to be found guilty in the game 😬

I think it has to do with the fact that some investors, payment providers and banks refuse to associate with anything that could be seen as sex work. That was why even OnlyFans was about to ban sexually explicit content 2 years ago.

Hollow Knight if you’ve never played it, it’s 50% off right now.

The web version I find it cool from a technological perspective and while I agree with you on the slowness of Javascript apps vs native apps in general, WebAssembly is a completely different beast and you can have very good performance with it while benefiting from all the portability advantages, it’s basically what Java tried to become with applets back then. It’s cool because you can also have stuff like a whole Jupyter Notebook run locally in your browser without installing anything, which can be useful when you have to teach Python and you don’t want to deal with students not installing their stuff before the class begins: https://github.com/jupyterlite/jupyterlite .

FYI, the OpenLara GitHub repo I linked to also has native builds. In particular, it hilariously has a Gameboy Advance build: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GVSLcqGP7g

Half-Life 2 is also at $1 right now, their deal ends in 2 days

EDIT: just tried it on my Thinkpad T480 running Arch Linux and it runs flawlessly at max settings, it’s freaking beautiful

I don’t see how this is going to end well with Nintendo’s infinite litigation money. Even if Analogue is saying they’re making a new FPGA to run the games “natively”, that still has the same problem as emulators: Nintendo still doesn’t want you to run your games on anything other than their own consoles, otherwise people will just keep buying (or pirate) old games and play them on new hardware will all the tweaks that we can do today: antialiasing, upscaling, custom shaders, bluetooth controllers etc…

Not taking anyone’s side here, I’m merely saying that it adds burden (and thus costs) on the developers. Now whether the additional burden is worth it depends on how big the burden is (do they have lots of hand-optimized x86 assembly? or are they using platform agnostic libraries?) and the expected return on that investment, and companies will see these things differently. For Valve it wasn’t worth it.

Could also be because of the Arm chips which add more burden on the developers who have to account not only for another OS but also for a completely different CPU instruction set.

Only the theme is being changed: https://github.com/LemmyNet/joinlemmy-site/pull/243#issuecomment-1733895034

• Xonotic;

• The Battle for Wesnoth;

• and yes, Veloren is awesome.

Don’t you find it weird that the “fix” that is being proposed is only changing the UI? In a sense, we’re still trusting the front-end while unescaped HTML is still being stored in the database.

I just checked validation.rs (line 132) too and you’re right!

I do hope those apps share at least a small part of their revenue by donating to the Lemmy devs (will be tricky to decide which instances to also donate to though). The app devs should realize that the success of their app business depends on Lemmy still being alive.

This will be like Wikipedia replacing Encarta CDs all over again

Yes that confirms that it’s hosted in his home, which means likely a dynamic IP address and explains why the domain name is pointing to dynu.com. I think the good news here is that he still has the domain name, it’s just his server that is probably down.

When I was still making personal websites ~10 years ago there were quite a few hobbyists who were providing free hosting on relatively big servers and I do remember they had dynamic IP addresses as they had the servers running in their homes and it was a bit painful to setup a domain name back then and you needed a dynamic DNS provider. So probably the fact that it’s redirecting to a dynu.com page is a good sign.

Just sign up on small instances to distribute the load they said… 🙃

I do hope they take back their domain name before someone parks it.

The API is returning the correct error. The UI however simply displays a spinning wheel without any error message and you’re left wondering if the instance has any issues. That is a bug.

it’s running the 0.18.0 version which has some SQL problems that were fixed in recent 0.18.1 rc’s

(unless the devs here are using a custom build)
