I managed to find this post somehow but I can inform you that there’s a community for Tsukihime that I’ve created early on, it’s on a smaller instance that doesn’t wage defederation wars so it should be accessible to almost anyone.

Additionally if you want to appear in our sidebar you can reach out to me over DMs on this account or PM me on mastodon at @[email protected]. (this goes for any anime community; discoverability on lemmy is pretty lackluster)

It’s sad that more companies are just willing to screw their customers and squeeze them dry of every last penny just for the sake of profit and infinite growth even though we know infinite growth will never be attainable.

Every corporate entity is willing to forfeit their goals for money, especially if they hold a monopoly in a certain space and when growth slows they will look for other ways to offset that income.

I’ve learned that loyalty means jack shit to the company and it’s just another thing they can exploit you with, I’m not loyal to AMD but right now they’re the least unethical party in this race to the bottom.

NVIDIA finally being the whole bitch it seems, not unexpected when it comes to tech monopolies.

In the words of our lord and savior Linus Torvalds “NVIDIA, fuck you! 🖕”, amen.

In all reality, a lot of individuals aren’t gonna care when it comes to EULA B’s unless they absolutely depend on it and this whole move has me want an AMD gpu even more.

last I heard AMD is working on CUDA working on their GPUs and I saw a post saying it was pretty complete by now (although I myself don’t keep up with that sort of stuff)

Just came across it and it’s more relevant today than when it was posted

They could bother with pulse, but IDK how portable the API for that is, also discord working on Linux is more accidental and this getting fixed might just be because they want it fixed on the Mac side too.

It’s sad to see that discord has waited over 8 years to do this, but the whole thing is soydev code anyways.

From what I can tell they are working on updating their electron version to one that is aware of pipewire, this is the first part of solving the issue (especially for Wayland folks), the second part is just fixing some code in the client to deal with that and then it should be fixed until we deprecate pipewire in 2079. Additionally it would make discord finally act as a native Wayland app instead of being forced in xwayland.

I heard of MakeMKV before, thing is that I generally don’t buy blu-rays because of the downright horrible DRM schemes.

if DRM makes it harder for me to enjoy the content I bought and paid for (this includes limiting me to some lowres garbage even though my system is more than capable of playing HD and FHD video) compared to what I would get if I were to pirate it then it’s a problem of distribution; not one of morality.

you will always have some group that pirates your content no matter what; but if buying gives me a worse product because of artificial restrictions put on it I can’t give any less of a shit.
there’s very few streaming platforms that even give me a decent option (and I don’t even properly own my library; all I get is a license to watch/listen to something, one that could be revoked at any time in the future without me being able to do anything except complain about it).

Most dvd’s should be fine as VLC can play almost any of them.

BD is where things get complicated because of DRM, expect almost none of them to work thanks to big corpo telling us what we can and can’t do with something you bought and paid for (sadly enough streaming doesn’t get much better either)

If japanese kanji show as their Chinese variant make sure you are using the proper font variant. My recommendation is noto-sans-cjk-jp.

Fedora does allow you to set the locale, it doesn’t mention generating them so they might very well already be present You can use https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora/latest/system-administrators-guide/basic-system-configuration/System_Locale_and_Keyboard_Configuration/ to read more than I can tell you here.

sxhkd/swhkd, both support creating these natively and the second one works not just on Wayland, but also X11 and the TTY.

If I can give my thoughts on what I’ve seen in research and linking various factors together.

1. A not insignificant amount of neurodivergent people tend to pursue a career in IT (mainly people with ASD), these people can learn a lot through self study as it tends to align more with their personal interests, at some point through this they may become exposed to Linux and open source and subsequently choose to learn about that.
2. Research has revealed a strong link between ASD and gender dysphoria. People diagnosed with ASD are ~4 times more likely to experience it.
3. Even if you go through gender reassignment, you are still subject to the societal programming associated with your initial gender (which for boys tends to include videogames).

While these 3 facts on their own don’t mean much, I can see how these come together to create an above-average amount of trans women in the IT and Linux spheres and this only gets amplified by stereotypes.

That said, this is mere speculation on my end based on the things I mentioned above, I am sure it plays a role; but I cannot be sure as to how significant that is in the grand scheme of things.

I love how musk is trying to make X the everything app all on his centralized network, and here we are building a decentralized everything network with dozens of open platforms and good 3rd party clients outpacing whatever musk is trying to cook.

I’ve been using Vendetta with a custom stylesheet for mobile which does the AMOLED theme much better than discord, haven’t used the new app yet and I’m honestly contemplating whether I should get the old android native app running again.

Looks very interesting, love to see how well it works (and interoperates between different fediverse platforms)

Tbh, I would not mind a proper chat standard built on activitypub, it’s obvious that this protocol works, now if only somebody built a secure messaging platform with it.

It’s because they rewrote the app from the ground up. They had a lot of issues getting the AMOLED theme to work because the base of the entire thing was written with the idea that there will only ever be 2 themes.

Yup, still mad about that one. Some day nobody will remember that the mobile app was somewhat responsive. I do know that there are projects that still allow you to use the old app; but I don’t know how long the API for it will still be supported by discord.

Knowing how their desktop app works on Linux (or more specifically doesn’t and requires you to mingle with it if you want any degree of Wayland awareness) it doesn’t surprise me their app remake (because it’s not just a redesign) is total garbage. I hope they get around to fixing the performance and bugs; but as things are right now I’m staying on Vendetta and refuse to update.

Simple, they stand up on flat ground
