Unfortunately there are some communities (especially gaming ones) that just don’t have a Lemmy equivently or don’t have enough critical mass to be useful. I would say Lemmy is a great addition, but not a drop in replacement.

What’s the other choice these days?

Edit: Did some research, sounds like a few apps got API exceptions because they are consider accessibility apps. Am currently test driving RedReader. It’s not bad and so far ad free.

Honestly, I’ve had nothing but good luck with Asrock. The few times I’ve needed at MB replacement (one was for a 2 year old board that had a known issue, Intels fault, not theirs) they just sent me a replacement board after I sent mine in.

Its probably been 5 years since I’ve had to use thier RMA process, but I’m still putting Asrock boards in everything I build. I build for pretty much all my friend and family circle (probably 3-8 builds a year) and I don’t know of any that have had an issue so far (they would for sure come back to me for help if they did).

Taichi is such a great enthuaist line and Steel Legend is a great mid range. I’ll always recommend them.

So the way I read it, if you want to opt in, you make the new changes they state in your yml. I didn’t and just hit upgrade to pull the new images and it worked fine. I don’t see any issues, but I’ll be glad if someone says I did it wrong.

I think it’s only breaking if you pull the new yml and don’t move your data.

Sadly doesn’t appear to be usable for SMS by Google Fi users who have web sync enabled. Guess I’ll be holding off.

Self hosted searxng is where it’s at. Seriously love it and have replaced my search engines on all my computers and phone.

I use this along with Vivaldi browser that will let me switch engines quickly with “search shortcuts” for those few times I need local Google results.

It’s more that I would like a complete experience than have features and content trickled to me. I generally don’t have time to play a game more than once, so I want the time I invest to get the best return. For me, that’s not until a game is released.

Thier last game (released over three years ago) is still in Early Access and they already got thier pay day. This is why I hate modern gaming. Gamers can’t help but pre-maturely ejaculate over some new thing, so devs are able to keep shoveling eternal Early Access games. I vote with my wallet and don’t buy EA games, but my game group still does. I miss out on a lot of gaming sessions because of it.

Personally I think gaming companies should not be allowed to charge for Early Access and basically just go back to free betas for testing. Or if they do have an Early Access, they should be forced to have a published release date or automatic refund if they miss. That will prevent devs from releasing half baked content and coasting on it for years.

They can still provide content and fixes via standard updates.

It was the new lock picking mini game.

Usually I've seen this be an issue on custom build rigs where bios might be out of date or something like fast boot is enabled which is known to cause issues in some cases where computer won't shutdown cleanly.

So the reason it does this is Windows update requires a reboot. So it installs the patch, reboots AND THEN shuts down. If your missing the final shut down it's becuase something is preventing it or you started using it again.

I’ve never even heard of Kane and Lunch so sounds like he was probably right.

I just heard the unlocking sound in my head.

Hard agree. For me Sync was Reddit. Once it stopped working I had no reason to put up with a substandard experience. I do miss the content and would probably even go back if they reversed their stance.

Came from using Sync for probably close to a decade on Reddit, so I’m definitely a creature of habit switching back for it on Lemmy. That being said, I tried ALL the apps looking for a solid experience and nothing delivers like Sync (opinion). All of them were missing something that completed my experience, was that experience coloured by my time with Sync on Reddit, sure. For all the options Sync gives me I’m willing to pay the dev half the cost of a steak dinner. I’ve already spent 100x longer on Sync for Lemmy than it would take me to eat said steak.

As for FOSS, let’s just say it’s not the be all / end all. Look at all the options that Sync brought to the table in a month that Lemmy hasn’t added in the whole of its development.

Personally I feel like most of the folks complaining about Ads in Sync are just complaining to complain. The FOSS crowd is also the most likely to use ad blocking, filtered dns providers, pi-hole, adguard etc and if that’s the case they won’t even see a single Ad.
