On the Future of Commander (WotC taking over management of the format, considering adding more concrete power level rankings)
  • Welp, guess WotC finally got the opportunity to take over their most popular format. I expect this to be terrible in the long run, but the RC made the finance bros mad, so what can you do.

  • Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible
  • Many subs did that, so reddit substituted the mods for others that do as they are told.

  • I make games and this literally happened to me this morning
  • For every streamer that makes minimum wage there are dozens that make so little they don't even get paid.

  • Yugoslavia certainly doesn't think so.

  • Sanders Files to Force First-Ever Vote in Congress on Blocking Weapons to Israel
  • Maybe I'm misunderstanding your analogy but how was Hillary better than Bernie?

  • Does anyone actually use the windows key on their keyboard as intended by the OS?
  • Yes since I use a lot of windowed fullscreen programs and it's the easiest eay to access the taskbar when I need it.

  • Hell rule
  • I was thinking this was something about being forced to make AI art.

  • TIL what an Ortholinear Keyboard is
  • Using one right now. Never had a better one.

  • TIL what an Ortholinear Keyboard is
  • Have you ever used an ortholinear one?

  • Major Critics Of Gaza War Say Trump Will ‘Accelerate The Killing’
  • Well, your thought experiment actually just agrees with the uncommitted, since if they don't want to negotiate now that they want your vote, what hope you have after you lost that leverage?

  • Ventoy source code contains some unknown BLOBs, still no word on the issue from the dev after months
  • I mean the author has simply ignored this issue. If you look into it there are a few that people simply do not know how to generate, so without the maintainer it's impossible to make a PR solving this.

  • Gacha games are out of control. Gambling shouldn't be so widespread
  • Seems about right. CSGO skin gambling was all the rage 10 years ago.

  • Mexico will amend its constitution this weekend to require all judges to be elected
  • Like the unbiased judges appointed by politicians?

  • As a Italian-Polish person, I don't know how to feel..
  • Ok I didn't know this existed and now I want to make it lol.

  • Obviously evey possible good food has already been invented

  • Why does one party keep interfering with voting?
  • Because people can understand paper ballots, while tech is complicated and people don't want to understand it, so they instantly think it's unsafe.

  • DOOM + DOOM II enhanced versions get Steam Deck Verified
  • Maybe I'm getting wooshed but can't you bring up the keyboard anyway?

  • So do I still need to do WvW to get the warclaw?

    Can't seem to find a definite answer for this...

    Today, I left windows behind for good

    I did it. For a few years now I've wanted to make the jump but lazyness and a bit of worry that my main game wouldn't work very well kept me from it.

    Then some effing windows update caused ridiculous stuttering on games (or maybe it was a auto-update of some other hidden thing, I couldn't figure it out) so I decided that if I needed a system wipe, might as well as try gaming on linux.

    Honestly? Much easier than I expected. Install Steam, turn two options on and 90% of your library is ready to go. I had to tinker with getting freesync to work (ended up just switching to wayland, which just worked) but other than the plugins I use for my main game requiring a bit of more work, smooth as butter really.

    So yeah, if you are a lazy gamer like I am, next time you do a system wipe or get a new computer, try installing linux first. Don't even bother Dual booting it, if you don't like it just reinstall (setup your usb drive with ventoy and the images you want to try out.)

    Why does every REST testing software want me to login?

    I just want to build requests and read the responses, why the hell does everyone suddenly want me to make an account?

    What you wish had an active community here on the lemmyverse?

    Your favorite movie, series, or anything else really that you can't find a community here (or maybe it just doesn't exist)

    As a capable but lazy user, how much would switching to Arch frustrate me?

    I know my way around a command line. I work in IT, but when it comes to my personal fun time more often than not I'm quite lazy. I use windows a lot because just plugging in anything or installing any game and it just working is great.

    But support for windows 10 is ending and I should probably switch sonner rather than later, so I'm wondering if Arch would be a good pick for me? For reference, I mostly game and do Godot stuff in my free time.

    Do you guys actually move aroung your ascended gear to play your alts?

    Seems like too much work to me, so I started getting duplicate pieces just to save the hassle, but a few guildies said I was crazy.

    Am I the only one who's sick of the isekai?

    Yeah it was fun in the beginning, after all who never thought about being transported to another world where you ate a big hero with swords and magic?

    But what the hell, I'm pretty sure there's more isekai now than other genres/settings. It's gotten to a point that if I see the tag I just move on.

    So, has the wait been worth it to you?

    This update feels a bit smaller than I expected, but it's been fun for me. Don't know how long I'll keep playing before moving to other games again though.

    So, are enums ok or not?

    I have googled this and even got to the second page, and there does not seem to be any kind of consensus.

    As far as I can tell, it's a bad idea because it creates code you don't see and accepts inputs that you wouldn't want. And yet, many people seem to like them more than, say, const unions due to being easier to refactor in bulk.

    So what gives? Is this a case of IT people having very strong opinions on stuff that doesn't matter? Or is there a technical reason for or against it?

    What happens if a user of an unfederated instance posts in a federated instance to me?

    Let's say I'm from instance A and use a community from instance B. Let's say another user of instance C, that's not federated with A but is with B, post in B. Can I see that post?
