It's not "Firefox-only" per se, it's CSS. Firefox is fast when it comes to implementing updates that benefits multilingual and Asian support, and Chromium is either slow, implements a small part only, or just ignores it completely.

(aside: Another good example is Ruby annotation. Firefox's implementation of Ruby is up-to-date while Chromium's stuck in 2010.

And this is very very annoying, you have to design for Chromium when it comes to Ruby annotations; or use JavaScript to serve different Ruby codes per browser. Chromium is practically the "modern IE6".)

It's the same with :lang().

In Chromium, you still have to do it like this:

:lang(en-GB), :lang(en-US), :lang(en-AU), :lang(en-NZ), :lang(en-PH) { }  

In Firefox you can do it this way:

:lang(en-GB, en-US, en-AU, en-NZ, en-PH) { }  

or

:lang("en-GB", "en-US", "en-AU", "en-NZ", "en-PH") { }  

Another example, in Chromium:

:lang(ceb-Tglg), :lang(pam-Tglg), :lang(fil-Tglg) { }

:lang(ceb-Hano), :lang(pam-Hano), :lang(fil-Hano) { }  

In Firefox:

:lang(\*-Tglg) { }  
:lang(\*-Hano) { }  

or

:lang("*-Tglg) { }  
:lang("*-Hano) { }  

^_~

 

Yet another reason why you should use #Firefox

You can use: #BestViewedInFirefox

  • :lang(\*-Hang)
  • :lang("*-Latn)
  • :lang("zh", "ja", ko")
  • :lang(PT, DE, HE)

If you care about multilingual and multi-script support.

@vk6flab@lemmy.radio That's a very good question! Sadly, I haven't received the update on Android yet. T_T

Good thing you mentioned it, I'll pay attention to that once I get the latest beta update from our region.

 

Finally, #Mozilla #Firefox for #Linux scales correctly depending on the OS setting instead of it being huge. This had been an issue since they removed the “Density: Compact” option.

version: 131.0b1

Now: Screenshot of Mozilla Firefox v131.0b1 in Linux, showing how it finally scales properly based on the OS setting instead of it being huge.

Because there must be bugs. It's a feature. ^_~

@BrikoX

> The ability to opt-out of quote posts is also currently planned, which makes it that Mastodon’s implementation will not be compatible with other fediverse implementations of quote posting.

Not surprising. Even before ActivityPub was announced, when the #fediverse was still powered by #OStatus, Mastodon was already breaking compatibility. There were countless of heated debates about almost every Mastodon-only "feature" they implemented that all other Fediverse devs were _forced_ to implement.

And here we are with yet another.

I wonder what will supporters of opt-out or anti-quotepost camp will do if the other Fediverse devs ignore this Mastodon-only "feature", and just continue with the common implementation of quote posts? Are we going to see a new reason for "fediblock", and finally fragment the Fediverse network?

@slazer2au Apologies! In any case, updated and moved the inline tags down.

[–] youronlyone@c.im 2 points 7 months ago

@vasus It is!

And apologies, hashtags are important in the fediverse. ^_^

Hmm… what I can do next time is to not use inline hashtags, and just have it in a separate line. Thank you for the feedback!

 

A game I recently started playing is ToME or Tales of Maj'Eyal. It is a roguelike singleplayer game.

It has been around since 2010, but it goes all the way back if we count its predecessors. It is also an open-source game.

As of this post:
* There are already 3 expansions.
* The 4th expansion is set to enter beta testing soon.
* The 5th expansion is already being developed in parallel.

Give it a try, available in Linux, Windows, and OSX. (Also available via Steam.)

Check the official website for screenshots, videos, and more information!

A bit of history based on what I was able to find:
* Originally named: Tales of Middle-Earth: The Fourth Age. Set 122 years after the fall of Sauron.
* In 2010-11-21, the game setting was changed entirely into a new one. See: https://te4.org/news?page=27
* Its predecessor was “Tales of Middle Earth”. See: https://www.t-o-m-e.net

@trashgirlfriend I remembered, #Walkr, a space gamification fitness app, have an option to "boost" steps when you're about to go on a long walk/run/jumping rope session. You can use it once every 24 hours only (and only lasts for 2 hours IIRC).

I think, now that you suggested it, that was maybe their solution to keeping the sensitivity fixed for their game, but giving users a chance to earn more if they're about to engage in a long session.

🤔

[–] youronlyone@c.im 2 points 8 months ago

@trashgirlfriend Ooh. I like that! It could be a widget too for easy access.

[–] youronlyone@c.im 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

@hornedfiend @schamppu I think the game is set to medium sensitivity, or Low. There are some fitness apps with a sensitivity setting, and if you place it high, it is more accurate. The problem arises if you're just moving your phone, since it's high sensitivity, it counts those as steps. So, most apps have it at medium or Low. That's my guess at least.

@commander_la_freak @emeralddawn45

That's a new way to explain it, “frame rate”.

Most #scifi that touches on #ParallelWorlds and #TimeTravel use some sort of vibration or frequency. Even in the 90s Japanese #anime entitled #SerialExperimentsLain, it used the Schumann resonance to explain its plot. And of course in #Marvel and #DC they do the same.

But, yeah, I'm not sure either about it. Is there a way to find out which author/writer first thought of this idea? Or, was it based on a real-life theory that scifi authors picked-up independently? Or, was it Star Trek that created this approach?

(And again, that frame rate approach is great. ^_^)

@sub_ Yep, I'm using #Exult. I find it easier than regular #DOSBox. I used the files installed by GOG for Exult Linux. And true, I like the QoL features they added!

[–] youronlyone@c.im 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

@Lunar Ahh! Fable, Fallout, and Witcher! I miss those too. Hmm, I think they're on winter sale, I might be able to grab them as well. ^_^;;

 

This year, I bought the entire packs/bundles of #DnD #DOS classics via #Steam as well as #Ultima 1 to 7 via #GOG.

The last time I played most of these were from 1988 to 1996. One or two I played again sometime early 2000s, randomly.

I already started with #ChampionsOfKrynn and #Ultima7 Part 1, and I'm already cheating. ROFL. I mean, the packs made it easy to cheat.

Back in the 90s, we had to use a hex editor like #PCtools. We open the savegame file, search through it through the hex editor, and did our magic.

‘Designer Makenzie De Armas discusses putting a little bit of herself into the game’

#Asteria is “a princess turned paladine”.

‘De Armas herself is autistic, and was able to incorporate a lot of her own experiences into the character.’

Q: What are the five (5) video games from the 20th Century that you want to be able to play again today? And why?

* Maybe you no longer have time, or, there are no modern ports or adaptation.

---

I'll start with mine.

(in no particular order)

  1. #SimFarm

It seems easier to play than #SimCity, but as you progress, it is actually challenging. I love the challenge.

  1. #Empire / #EmpireClassic (DOS version specifically).

If I am not mistaken, before there was the #Civilization franchise, there was “Empire”. It was a fun game. There is #EmpireDeluxe available on #Steam, but I miss the DOS version that I played a lot.

  1. #CarrierCommand

A very fun game. Once I start playing this, time flies fast. I miss this game.

Here's a video of it, it's hard to explain this game as there are many features/gameplay “modes” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBJ0q52bXJM

Modern games today are usually limited to certain themes. If it's flight, it's flight. If it's tank, it's tank. If it's strategy, that's it. Carrier Command have it all.

  1. #Hyperspeed / #Lightspeed (DOS)

Years before the era of #EVEonline came. RPG-ish space game that made me felt exploring space. This was new to me then and I enjoyed it.

  1. #StarControl / #StarControl2 (DOS)

I know, we can still play this today, however, what I miss with this game is the 2 player mode.

You just play with your friend and blast each other to friendly matches and laughter.

Being able to play 2P mode, face-to-face, is something that we have taken for granted, and now we're all just virtual avatars in online games (even online multiplayer games).
