This week in KDE: we modernized the breeze cursors, created a new banner component and released a "KDE For Travelers" webpage. in c/kde@lemmy.kde.social

yeah, i liked the soft & friendly kde cursors.

not sure about the colours either, but that might be because they've changed from the portal colours to the portal beta colours. i never thought of them as portal themed before, but now i can't unsee it

Some things never change, but at least there is progress! in c/programmerhumor@lemmy.ml

bangs are invaluable, and the main reason i stick with ddg. having !w and !pcgw just instantly take me to the right page is great

Why are people saying that Lemmy is free of corporate interest? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
Anyone else playing on a 5-20 year lag? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works
[–] Zeus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

yeah, that's basically when i play most aaa games - when the mood takes me, but mostly ~10 years old. i've just recently finally played wofenstein new order, followed by the tomb raider legend trilogy (they're really short), and i've now started on the tomb raider survivor trilogy

indie games i tend to play a bit sooner; partly because they're cheaper and partly because i feel they're more likely to use (and need) the money to make more games. although the last indie game i played was fez, and the dev of that has quit completely...

I know this has been asked before: question about music in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

as a way to search inside communities: https://www.search-lemmy.com/ is in early development but it works surprisingly well usually

Lemmy app (or in development stage) that has slideshow mode? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] Zeus@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

~~slide had a "similar" thing, so slide for lemmy probably will; but it's in very early development and that feature doesn't yet work~~

edit: never mind, i just saw your comments on that sub so i guess you already knew about it

What are your favorite podcasts, video content creators, etc for gaming content? in c/patientgamers@sh.itjust.works

manyatruenerd is pretty much the only gaming youtuber I follow anymore. he's just so positive and always finds some good in a game (apart from redfall)

What's your opinion on Snap/Flatpak, and why? in c/linux@lemmy.ml
[–] Zeus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

pretty unpopular opinion i believe, but i loathe them. they feel like installing apps from the windows store, but worse. i use them on steam deck and my laptop, but they often fail to launch with no feedback[^1], won't accept drag&dropped files, store their dotfiles in weird places, take up much more disc space (and therefore take literally almost 10x as long to download), won't inherit the theme (i think because plasma stores the gtk theme in a non-standard place), etc. they feel like they've been designed to flout what os developers have built up over many decades and are just a struggle to use.

[^1]: on steam deck particularly (so i know it's not a configuration i've screwed up) no flatpaks will launch unless i launch them twice. even after that, there's a long delay (~1 minute) and then two instances launch. i know this sounds like i should just wait until the first one launches, but that doesn't work

[Meta] Community icon, banner, rules, description in c/retronet@lemmy.sdf.org
[–] Zeus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

just came to make a post about this actually, i really like the new icon and banner!

Could this become a "Caring is Sharing" sub, just like the old days in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

may i introduce you to... neocities (other free site hosts are available,[^1] but neocities is very much based around the spirit of geocities/angelfire)

[^1]: i myself use github pages

JS Bookmarklet for Switching to lemmy.world (lemmy.world)

i find it annoying to have to manually change urls to subscribe to a community outside lemmy.world, so i wrote a bookmarklet to quickly switch to the lemmy.world instance

to use, just drag the following code to your bookmarks bar (name it whatever you like), then click it when you want to use it

javascript:(function() {const myInst="lemmy.world";let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");let currInst=currUrl[2];currUrl[2]=myInst;let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;window.location=newUrl;})();

readable version:

javascript:(
	function() {
		// make sure to change this if using on a different instance
		const myInst="lemmy.world";
		let currUrl=window.location.toString().split("/");
		let currInst=currUrl[2];
		currUrl[2]=myInst;
		let newUrl=currUrl.join("/")+"@"+currInst;
		window.location=newUrl;
	})
