I still prefer *bin over Lemmy for the UI and the domain-blocking feature, even with Lemmy having post-hiding features. 🙂

  • I prefer AppImages. I find system-wide installations risky in the long run, and don’t mind managing each software myself. Plus, often I have to use super old software, and when the current programs become old themselves, it’s useful, I think, that they’re as independent as they can from dependencies that may or may not be available anymore. However, still using apt download just in case as that variant of the command also downloads dependencies.







  • If war-themed FFs fit in, and if people accept a 19 y.o. PS2 game as retro, Final Fantasy XII is pretty good, and points for the story going more the infiltration and diplomacy routes instead of protagonists buldozing everything like in previous games.

    And on a more classic sense of war, Outlive is pretty good but hard. Also wasn’t expecting the units’ quotes (at least in the Portuguese dubbing; haven’t checked it in English) to be as silly/amusing, but it helps cracking up some smiles here and there.






  • I think there has never been a proper line separating indies from other games, rather being a loose perception of games made to show what the developer wants. And the impression growing stronger as bigger projects more and more seek to go for the lowest common denominator or go by what who gives the orders demands.

    Even if a game is from a bigger company, but the company gave the thumbs up for doing whatever the team wanted, without conditions, handholding, etc., then I’d say the game is indeed independent enough.

    Though, on a more negative view, I wonder if Dave the Diver getting nominated was a case of that meme of the older man trying to act as a cool kid.


  • I consider two things to think Peertube not being sustainable isn’t the case.

    First, the noise caused bad actors / professional fearmongerers, and people too used to Youtube or that think any social medias would skyrocket in the first month of service, may make people think it’s a far more prevalent opinion.

    Second, platforms such as Peertube may cather to any movements, be them cultural, political, for business, and so on, while also, due to being based on instances, it much harder to be taken over.

    Those two together make me see the project as having great potential, a potential that some may fear intentionally or otherwise.

    And on a side note, “the new mobile app” reminds me, anyone could potentially make programs for it, or even integrate Peertube to their own. Another reason for it being able to cather to way more people, I think, as then programs could be made to interests and needs otherwise not found.







  • Given this has nothing to do with what I said, it sounds like an inversion to try to bait me into losing my cool, a strategy I often saw in trolls in other forums in years past. Still giving the benefit of doubt, while each person has his/her own form of taking and sharing information, I would still suggest considering how what you say could be taken as baiting or other strategies employed by trolls.
