  • Huh. Yeah I'm not getting them either, and after looking into my other feeds that do have images it looks like those are either video preview images or links to articles, so I guess it doesn't support native reddit image uploads maybe?

  • I have family who works in the railroad and I can assure you that the vast majority do not appreciate what he has done, paid sick days are only a fraction of what needed to change

  • I'm not real sure what the issue is but I can confirm that's the same URL format that I use. I use Feeder on Android if that helps

  • I moved the Reddit content I wanted into an RSS feed by putting the subreddit URL followed by /.rss into the feed URL and it works

  • this reminds me of a few days ago where i saw a post where someone put their oc with a trans black sun and said "there's like no trans fash art so i made my own" like wow i wonder why

  • When I was looking to start learning game dev last year, the Unity CEO made the controversial remarks he did like a week into my journey and gave me a reason to switch lol

  • Good stuff, as the article mentions, California's big population means its legislation typically has some effect nationwide too. But I can't help feeling like there's something I'm missing here, since Apple of all companies supported this bill. I wonder if they're trying to get good PR after their notorious reputation, or is there a loophole somewhere?

  • it's ridiculous how easy it is to use now once you get the basics down. im a bad artist in general, so i mostly use it for editing existing models, but i can also whip up a simple prototyping model pretty quick too. awesome stuff

  • Ah yes, New York south of Texas

  • I jumped to transphobia because of my personal experience with gender. Yes, misogyny is a better word. That's not a mark on trans people though, I'm not the one attacking people's identities here.

  • Definitely keep the original files intact/backup the files before doing anything, but theoretically, I think it should be possible. Likely, though, depending on the game (especially if it's a game not made to be modded) there may be specific things like DLLs that look for a niche Windows component or driver that Proton can't translate and won't work.

    That being said, Proton is open-source so there are old versions and forks that may work better, GE-Proton most famously. Also, if the game has built-in mod support or rely on a platform-agnostic runtime like Minecraft Java edition, those probably won't be an issue anyway as the engine/language runtime should handle low-level stuff like that by itself

  • What I did to learn was basically trying to mimic my Windows install in terms of programs and features. I installed games I played often onto Linux and learned basic software installation and Proton by doing that, then I installed some productivity apps (mostly their Linux equivalents, not the exact ones) and learned to use those, and then did some customizing. Not everything works, at least well (VR for example), so I dual-boot still

    I'd also recommend pulling up the terminal to do some basic stuff to get used to it, like using sudo apt install for some select programs, ls and cd for file navigation, etc. You won't need the terminal for daily use in mist distros, but it'll be important sometimes

    Also, if you choose Mint like I shill for recommend, searching the forum has proven useful in my experience

  • Video game assets/customizing :) I used VRChat as an excuse to design a persona (in my pfp) and I made a game prototype to pay homage to my first car. I wanna do way more stuff but I'm still learning

  • December of 2022. I was moving away from closed-source social media, and after Twitter -> Mastodon, Reddit was next. I didn't become active til the whole API thing tho, because Lemmy didn't have some communities that I liked. So I made one lol

  • The Nissan Leaf seems to be the only one worth being concerned about. Don't quote me on this but I remember reading the old ones (like 2011ish to around 2016-17) had poor airflow to cool the battery so they lost capacity quicker
