I remember the developer mentioned something about this once, and I had to scroll way to far back to find it: https://lemmy.ca/comment/1264956

I can totally understand being somewhat insecure about your code, or have the feeling that you need to do this/this/that before you can publish it online. And indeed dealing with an issue tracker, pull request that people expect you to review, forks of your code being published elsewhere, finding and trusting other developers to commit directly to your project can feel stressful. Disabling issues and pull request on GitHub could resolve some of these issues.

Connect is a fantastic app, and still my favourite lemmy client. I hope it will continue to work en be great for a long time. And most importantly that the developers still has fun working on the project.

Missed a bit of variation in the games. I felt alot of it was 3D with guns and generic video game graphics. Would have been nice to have to have a platformer, or some titles with distinct art styles.

Thanks for the reply. Regarding the avatars in Connect, I see that it tries to load https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png?format=webp&thumbnail=64 , which indeed leads to a 404 error. The problem is in the additional query parameters added to the URL. Without them the image does load. It’s not just a URL encode issue, as the fully URL-encoded https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png%3Fformat%3Dwebp%26thumbnail%3D64 also gives the same error. So it might just be a bug Lemmy itself.

Excited for Lil Gator Game. I’ve heard many good things about it.

Interested in playing The Quarry. Let’s see if this is fun to do as a couch co-op.

It’s a great game, from a great developer. So you shouldn’t regret anything.

Thanks for the quick fix. And thank you very much for this really awesome app!

Is this a long term source of revenue for Reddit? Or will it loose value at some point, simply because LLMs are all trained sufficiently on user generated content. Is there more to learn at some point?

Also it seems that a lot of content on Resdit is already AI generated, so it would train on data from other LLMs, which I’m sure doesn’t improve quality.

Get a device that is supported by KOReader and install that. I use an old Kindle Paperwhite 2, and with KOReader it’s great. I use Calibre for library management (on a laptop) and it supports a wireless connection directly to Calibre. Or if you prefer to have your library on a NAS device (or sync it) you can set up an ODPS feed to directly browse and download from your NAS.

I used to be a big fan of Assassin’s Creed games, both the old style and the two new RPG styles. But not sure if I’m down for a 100 hours game.

I think having Game Pass expanded the style of games I play quite a bit, and I now enjoy short games a lot more.

I agree that a lot of subscriptions are really overpriced, but updates to an app are also a sort-of service. Pixelmator explained it quite well when their app switched to a subscription model, mentioning some fair (I think) pros and cons of the succession model, both from the perspective of users and developers.

I want to play this. But i also still have a lot of game pass games i want to play. Oh, when will my struggles ever end?

Important note is that is only applies to the Elite 2 and the adaptive controller.

Or if you only have 82.5 hours available, check out the episode recommendations at https://medium.com/maxistentialism-blog/star-trek-deep-space-nine-in-82-5-hours-10acde591fd2 I found it a great way to watch it in a slightly condensed form, focussing on the main themes.

Same. Looks a bit like Sable, but with a really different art style.

My Dad Wrote a Porno is seriously funny, and stays funny throughout all seasons.

A bit surprising that most people pay full price. I really was under the impression that almost everyone did the 3 years gold-to-gamepass conversion and get it really cheap. But maybe the people here (or on Reddit) are not representative of all subscribers.

My 3 year conversion ends in February. Still undecided if I’ll renew at the full monthly price.

Autoscaling isn’t only used the grow the number of servers under load, but also to guarantee availability of a fixed number. If the max is set to 1, the bastion host is protected against hardware failure, zone outages, or just you screwing up. Accidentally killed your bastion host? No problem, within a few minutes autoscaling will have provisioned a new one and you’re good to go again.

Arstechnica runs on WordPress on AWS, and they have a really nice series of articles about it. Sure, you could use just one EC2 instance for everything, but on a high traffic website you would need a bit more.

[Baldur’s Gate 3] will also be out on Xbox before the end of 2023. (…) “It’s 2023. And 2023 is narrowing, so it’s already pretty precise in my book. Between September and November… So, as fast as we can honestly,” Vincke said.
