I’m happily oblivious much of to (I assume) US politics, so I’m going to read this as if you’re talking about Magic the Gathering.

I think part of the problem is that even when you’re subscribed to the small communities, it’s easy to miss the posts. Sorting by Scaled helps a little, but I still often find a post from days ago that I missed.
I’d like an option where you could “super subscribe” or something which makes those posts show up first, or even in the inbox.
I’ve enjoyed what I’ve done with it so far, which is mostly little wasm projects. Once they finally get a proper editor I think it’ll really pick up adopters.
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•Would changing useragent to chrome cause me problems?English4·2 years agoNo, it’ll be fine 99% of the time.
Nowadays, feature detection is done within browsers, and the differences between browsers are small enough that servers generally will serve the same version of a page to all.
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Gaming@beehaw.org•Valve's taken down Portal 64, a passion project to demake Portal for the Nintendo 64English16·2 years agoThe fact that it’s Nintendo’s IP seems the key thing here.
So did Nintendo get Valve to do this, or is Valve just covering its back from the notoriously-litigious Nintendo?
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Entertainment@beehaw.org•28 Years Later in Development as Sequel to Beloved Zombie Classic, And it Could be a Trilogy - Report2·2 years agoMaybe it’ll be like the final episode of Attack on Titan where the last season was split into multiple parts, and the final part was split into multiple chapters. Was it also a two partner? It got stupid, anyway.
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Atuin is an open-source shell command history app for Linux with syncing, unlimited history, and with contextual search1·2 years agoAh, ok, that makes more sense. That also solves any ordering problem if you, say, you’re running local and elsewhere commands and a sync means pressing up gives you an unexpected item.
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Technology@beehaw.org•Atuin is an open-source shell command history app for Linux with syncing, unlimited history, and with contextual searchEnglish1·2 years agoSync seems like it’s going to be more pain than its worth unless you have all your machines configured the same. I’m not even running the same distros between machines…
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Science@mander.xyz•The "10,000-hour rule" was debunked again. That’s a relief.11·2 years agoI like this author’s attitude. I scoffed a bit when I read about “joy that can be found in mediocrity” but he’s right that you can (and should) just do something because you enjoy it or it’s good for you.
They sold that stuff to the Brits (the £27bn in today’s money was only finally paid off in 2006).
If memory serves, the US were also supplying the Nazis at the start of the war.
I agree that US involvement was vital to winning WW2, but the idea that they won it themselves is pure American propaganda.
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•FOSS Games are actually pretty good!3·2 years agoI’ve just installed this from your recommendation and it’s brilliant. I love the amateur graphics, it just adds to the charm.
I’m not sure what you’re asking. Do you mean Lemmy communities, Lemmy instances, or something else?
Ah, I just posted about this in !books@lemmy.ml (I forgot what this community was called). My Halloween history:

- 2020: The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
- 2019: Red Dragon by Thomas Harris
- 2018: Lincoln in the Bardo by George Saunders & Something Wicked this Way Comes by Ray Bradbury
- 2017: Carrie by Stephen King
- 2016: Jekyll and Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson

- 2009: Dracula by Bram Stoker
- 2008: Frankenstein by Mary Shelley
I’d agree that you can’t binge on them - best to just read one in between longer books.
I’m another Kagi fan - after customising it a little it’s just so good, and I haven’t even played with features like lenses.
I really like the custom bang searches (e.g. I could make
!ks gravity
search on simple Wikipedia), especially on mobile since Firefox Android doesn’t support the normal browser quicksearches (where you set a keyword for each search).
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What UI design trend do you hate the most?English5·2 years agoThat’s interesting. The flaw with that logic seems to that there’ll always be new users, and they’ll be playing on hard mode since those vital clues have been removed.
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What UI design trend do you hate the most?English6·2 years agoOnline it’s even more annoying (to me, anyway), because we have the time element specifically for this kind of thing and no-one bothers to use it.
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What UI design trend do you hate the most?English9·2 years agoAfter a glance at others’ answers, it’s the same thing: the trend away from skeuomorphism.
I always think about the time I discovered an Android area was horizontally scrollable - with no scrollbars to clue me in, it was only the fact that the icon I wanted wasn’t there that prompted me to discover the secret. I’m a software dev, if it’s unintuitive even to me, how do non-technical people stand a chance?
Deebster@beehaw.orgto Privacy Guides@lemmy.one•A end-to-end encrypted survey tool - Purplix, now in early alphaEnglish8·2 years agoThis is a neat little idea, although I’m surprised you found the motivation to finish what seems like a niche need. Was this something that you wanted for yourself?
I assume it’s just a coincidental interaction. I mean, it’s not like yeast wants us to get drunk [citation needed].
