Boost worked best for me after comparing a few apps for my phone. Coming from Relay it wasn’t a 100% fit but good enough.

I don’t use Lemmy much on desktop because I find all of the frontends lacking in comparison to old Reddit with RES. However Tesseract is my preferred frontend when I am on desktop.

I’ve heard about that but haven’t noticed it myself. It does sound annoying.

Yeah the control panel revisions took some getting used to, but now I think it’s not so bad. I know where to find everything but I can see how it’s frustrating for others. What’s most important to me is that I have local admin rights on my work PC and can customize it to my liking. Many companies lock their devices down heavily, and I don’t want to deal with that.

I’m currently sticking to Windows 10 on my private machines but already on 11 on my work computer and it’s fine with an alternative start menu. I’m also looking forward to the better HDR features on 11.

No, I don’t want Linux or any other OS. I perfectly know my way around with Windows and so many of my regular tasks depend on tools made for Windows. I have used Linux desktop in the past and have many friends and co-workers who use it as their main OS, but it’s just not for me.

Besides of course this recall stuff gets blown way out of proportion like every time Microsoft makes a bad move. All of my computers don’t even support recall and when they eventually do, I’ll just disable it in one of like four possible different ways.

Probably this ball of water and dirt we’re living on.

Yeah it’s inescapable really. Many people probably are more up to date with American politics than those of their own country.

Rematch hasn’t released yet, but a few public playtests happened. While there are some strong similarities to Rocket League like controlling a single player, the walled arena and having a form of boost, it’s still very different and hasn’t yet given me the same thrill.

Rematch does not have the verticality, and so it’s missing a whole dimension (and multiple degrees of freedom) of skill expression. The arena is significantly larger, as it’s built for more players, which results in a much slower game. It has the potential to be a very solid new esports game, however I can’t see it pulling away many players from Rocket League.

Well that’s the neat part

At least it doesn’t have super distracting glass effects everywhere.

It’s called dynamic compression, often labeled as night mode. Makes quiet stuff louder and loud stuff more quiet. My AVR has it as a feature and probably most TVs as well.

It’s a trend in road cycling at least. You completely degrease the chain and then dip it in a special hot wax. Apparently it lasts longer than oil and doesn’t attract dirt.

I do have to oil the chain on my bike every now and then though. (I know about waxing, haven’t made the jump yet)

I know right? It even has var with implicit typing now. While I prefer Kotlin any day, there’s been quite a few qol improvements to Java over the last few years.

Since Java 21, this has been shortened significantly. https://www.baeldung.com/java-21-unnamed-class-instance-main

It’s also 80€ in Europe. Everyone I talked to is waiting for the price to drop, including me.

My friend’s name is literally “Long”. I think that counts.

I didn’t even notice. However now that I’m aware, I like that it’s not shown. Displaying a total score just incentivises karma farming.

I don’t think that, as Microsoft hasn’t done a lot (any?) of that stuff in recent years. It’s good to be cautious but really what is the problem with opening the source for something that already existed for a while and is embraced by many?
