Deleting friends lists seems pretty extreme for being late to verify your age? What age are they requiring? 18?

Try switching the option back and forth? I’ve had to do this before and then it worked for me

I think the original games could really benefit from being widescreen (more field of view), and difficulty settings (increased health and breath), and probably analog controls could help too

Also, they have no idea how to use it? Bullshit. If they can use Reddit, they can use Lemmy.

Mostly yes, but to be fair Lemmy was more buggy and less intuitive back then, it was 2 years ago

you need to do it on a post or comment they’ve made in the community

Seems to be a locally run AI model that generates the mask

Fixed proxy clips workflow for videos with an alpha channel

this is pretty cool, I wonder if they’ll eventually do proxies of sequences, like I had in my feature request here

I think the main thing is that it’s the lowest friction for just sending a message, making a “post” gives people pause, but sending a message people will do no problem, so small communities get more activity in Discord than anywhere else

I’ve got 2 gaming Discords I want to bridge with Matrix (and maybe Revolt too?) can you suggest an instance? one is for Deus Ex Randomizer, and the other is for The 7th Guest fan club

Note that when you join a Space, you are not automatically joining all the rooms inside it.

this is going to be a bit painful for people who are used to Discord

you can search public rooms but not public Spaces? how do you find Spaces? they should’ve copied the good parts about Discord lol (EDIT: I found the way to search public Spaces, I guess it can’t search across instances though which is a shame, it probably wouldn’t require much disk space to index the name and description of every Matrix Space)

I don’t even see rooms linking back to their Space?

tchncs.de has a lot of public spaces, I created my account using my Google but it just assumed my username :(

Lemmy supports local-only private communities now, might be a good use case for that

we all know there’s currently only 1 chick in the fediverse

Streaming services pretty much top out at 80Mbps

what (legal) streaming service is giving such high bitrates? I thought they were giving like 20 at most

pretty rare to see technology moving backwards

That being said, UHD BD is at around 75 mbps. So 8K would be around 300 mbps,

I don’t think multiplying by 4 is correct here. Even though it’s 4 times as many pixels, this is compressed video we’re talking about, the limiting factor is how many details are in motion. 1080p blurays are like 40mbps, 4k blurays are only double that bitrate with 4x as many pixels and 25% more color data (SDR8 vs HDR10).

It’s a better codec which helps, but 8k could use h266. Also I think 4k blurays have less artifacting than 1080p blurays, so 4k blurays seem to have a surplus of bitrate relative to their content.

I think there exist bluray drives that can support up to 144mbps, so I don’t think it’s much of a stretch that we could make 8k blurays that look better than 4k blurays with existing tech and the h266 codec. But making people care about even more quality is another matter, if their eyes can’t see anything finer than 4k anyways. Most people can’t even tell the difference between 4k on streaming services vs 4k on disc.

You could do it as a DHT network (distributed hash table)

It would be interesting to see someone spin up an instance, no signups, just Lemmy-Federate. Check how much resources it uses up.

But for an instance that already has a lot of users it’s going to be a drop in the bucket. Any large communities probably already have a real user following them, and any small communities won’t have enough activity to cause significant load anyways.

Lance’s quote at the end of the article is so good lol, really cool that Mastodon has lived longer than Google+ already!

They already did, in 0.19.11

Dont render images in private message (#3043)

Kinda like https://quiblr.com/understanding_your_private_personalized_feed

But for Peertube instead of Lemmy? Sounds cool, I think Peertube needs it way more than Lemmy does

I meant something owned/maintained by Valve, it’s a name people can trust and would catch a lot of angry Win10 users switching

personally I don’t need any specific distro, but it would be a big boost for Valve
