I believe this is extremeRate's full shell replacement. Actually pretty affordable, about $40 after tax. I've heard it takes 2-3 hours to do though. Personally I'd keep the black dpad and buttons

ProtonDB for Decky is a great tool to check how compatible a game is with Proton, even gives it a score

[–] gus@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a plugin for Decky which is a free 3rd party plugin manager. Goto decky.xyz from your deck and download file, make sure to run it from your desktop. Then go back to game mode and hit the "..." button to access it

This plugin is HLTB for Deck. They're also using SteamGridDB to get the custom D4 art and the game's metadata. Game Theme Music, vibrantDeck, and ProtonDB are all musts as well

You're confusing "do not massively defederate" with "do not defederate at all"

We should defederate from obviously problematic instances. We should not defederate in the fashion that beehaw is

I just gave Cassette Beasts a shot and was instantly hooked. Fun PokeClone that is one of the best I've played and gets some stuff better than even Pokemon does. Also on gamepass if you've got that

I disagree. I really think closing ourselves off to a bunch of places goes against the spirit of the fediverse. I want to be getting content from a lot of places which I can then filter out and control myself, and I feel like kbin supports that mindset well. I understand why some would want to defederate and close themselves off, but I don't want kbin.social turning into beehaw. If you're looking for a more controlled instance, join them

These platforms are still pretty early in their infancy and I don't think they were quite mature enough to take on this sudden influx of users (through no fault of anyone). There's going to be some growing pains but we'll get through it and this platform will get better from it

Agreed! Totally think this is a learning experience for both sides

An...earnest mistake?

I'm sorry

I think the 2 day protest was so a lot more subreddits would be willing to participate, and was ultimately used to spread awareness throughout the userbase (and get some traction in the news cycle). I don't think anyone leading the charge was expecting spez or reddit as a whole to cave and revert everything within those 2 days, but you'd be surprised how easily users can ignore that stuff unless it's shoved right in their face

Ultimately despite reddit still being a shithole, I think it was pretty effective. Not sure it could be called "rexxit", but the fediverse is far more populated (and a bit more mainstream) now, as people start realizing there is a way for the community to hold some power and not constantly be at the mercy of bad management or greed

Right, I wasn't saying it shouldn't have been a public post. Just that the public post shouldn't have immediately jumped to accusations. FOSS or not, accusing someone of stealing code and intentionally trying to obfuscate its origin to pass it off as their own is a big deal for a developer. One that can destroy your reputation

A simple "I've noticed snippets in here of my work that falls under a license which is not attributed at all. Could you add the proper attributions or remove it from your project?" says the same thing and doesn't jump to any accusations that you have no idea if are true or not

My only issue is how many posts/comments I've saved on my account over the years. Also how often I searched for product recommendations on there which date back years

Think I'm planning to keep my account, maybe use the script to edit all my comments, and then just view it accountless every now and then

Honestly that's my only issue with this. Ernest was totally rightfully called out for this, as he should have been. But Emma's knee jerk reaction is just a real bad look. Don't make any attempt to reach out and figure out why it's in there. Immediately make a public post accusing him of stealing code, trying to hide that he stole it, and claim it as his own...on a FOSS project no less...

Surely there's a step or 2 before that point..

Very possible. But even the people left I am sure will go back to virtue signaling about how awful greedy companies are and how we need to take a stand against them while ironically still posting from and thereby supporting one

As dumb as it sounds it reminds me of that Black Mirror episode where the guy slowly uncovers everyone is being lied to by the government, and ultimately gets hired by that same government as a skeptic radio persona that everyone loves to listen to while they fall back in line
