As a former Sync user of nearly 10 years, I’ve moved to Summit now. It’s the closest to Sync of all the apps I tried.

8·18 days agoNot sure how meaningful it is to say that Firefox “embeds a web browser”, considering that it IS a web browser :P
This didn’t age well.

2·1 month agoIt’s pretty much only available in US, EU, Australia and a few Asian countries (Japan, S. Korea). I can’t even buy one officially in Switzerland, and I imagine the markups are much higher anywhere in the global south.

Games@lemmy.world•Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]English
1·1 month agoI’m sure you can also stream to it over a conventional wifi connection as well, the point of the dongle is so that they can guarantee a direct connection with lower latency and on a dedicated radio frequency to avoid interference, which is especially for non-techies who don’t know what they’re doing and just expect stuff to work out-of-the-box. The headset is just running SteamOS and has a regular wifi antenna, so I see no reason why you couldn’t stream to it using plain old Steam Link or whatever if you already know your connection can handle it.

12·2 months agoIt not being available to purchase directly from Steam means you have to get it from a 3rd party reseller, or order it to an address in an officially supported country and forward it from there yourself, both of which are generally more expensive than what steam is offering. The cheapest price I can find for a Steam Deck OLED in my country is a solid 20% more expensive than the price Steam lists on their website.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Do trans people like to be noticed?
10·2 months agoOTOH, I was introduced to a trans girl at an event recently (although I didn’t know it at the time, she passed too well), and we chatted a bit. I learned later through a mutual friend that she was disappointed I hadn’t clocked her. Make of that what you will, I guess?

Games@lemmy.world•Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java EditionEnglish
21·2 months agoMy point is that literally nobody has been looking at obfuscated code for at least 5 years by now. All the toolchains automatically handle de- and reobfuscation transparently to the point that nobody has to think about it anymore unless maybe you are one of the like 3 people who is actually maintaining the classloading stage of a modloader, or if you are manually writing a bytecode transformer (which almost nobody has needed to do for years either, ever since tools like Mixin entered the scene).
For 99.9% of the modding community, and this includes most optimization mods, the only thing that is going to change is everyone deletes a line or two from their
build.gradleand continues about their day.As far as reporting things to Mojang: again, nothing changes here either, everyone who has ever set up a mod dev environment already has a copy of the deobfuscated source code on their computer, which is the only thing they are looking at when inspecting the minecraft source code or making changes to it. There have been reports on the issue tracker with actual suggested code changes basically since the issue tracker became a thing.

Games@lemmy.world•Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java EditionEnglish
25·2 months agoThis doesn’t really change too much for the modding scene, it just allows the deobfuscation step to be skipped when setting up a dev environment. Mojang has already been providing official deobfuscation mappings for years, and before that we had community-made ones which were already pretty great.
There are already plenty of mods which drastically overhaul how major parts of the game work to get better performance, and there are some projects like Gregtech: New Horizons and CleanroomMC which have pretty much completely torn apart and rebuilt the game on older versions from before official deobfuscation mappings were even available.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•men of lemmy, if you've ever taken estrogen, what was it like?
3·2 months agoI want to give you a belated “thank you” for writing this up! I had kinda been feeling like I’d reached a dead end with my whole gender exploration adventure, but you have not only inspired me to do a second (longer) trial run using EV instead of EEn (which I have just started), but I’m also gonna go to a local meetup for trans/enby/questioning people later this week. Something about your comment here really helped me get out of the rut I was in. Thanks for all your support!!! ❤️
The number of times I’ve spent hours trying to figure out some obscure issue only to stumble upon a multiple-years-old stackoverflow post of myself asking the same question isn’t that high, but definitely higher than I’d like to admit.





AFAIK they still don’t support reclocking on anything older than Turing, meaning the GPU is stuck at the lowest clock frequency and therefore runs very slowly.
