No WAN Show this week. The streak has ended.

    Does anyone have any suitable "alternatives" in podcasts which are similar to the WAN Show in atmosphere? (As in: longer conversations about tech-adjecent topics) I don't feel comfortable wanting to go near LMG's content (my only consistent watching was the WAN Show to be frank) after these discoveries.

    His comment didn't address two key issues for me:

    • The "crunch"/tight scheduling of projects which led to sloppiness to begin with
    • The constant need to correct, ranging from simple mistakes to very problematic methods.

    I've been enjoying solely the WAN Show, but hearing about constant mistakes in benchmarks while praising "We want to show factual information on benchmarks for once.", is rubbing me in the wrong way. You can't rush benchmarking without QA and publish those results as fact. You get to choose for accuracy, or fast to churn content.

    And Linus not mentioning something concrete on the first issue is worrying to me, not showing a clear intent to ease on rushing those benchmarks.

    Not to mention, it's worth taking down a video if benchmarka are wrong even if the conclusion is "most likely to remain the same", which one cannot conclude with certainty without redoing it. It would be better transparency wise to either not knowingly publish wrong information, or put a more clear notice on said videos besides the description and a pinned comment.

    I'll suggest Lemmesee as a word play on Let Me See and Lemmy. Some alternate possibilities regarding styling/spelling: LemmeSee, Lemmysee, LemmySee, LemmySy

    Will definitely keep an eye out on the icon contest.

    Don't get me wrong - I think an included battery that's rechargeable through USB is fantastic. Less customer inconvenience. But they should either go with a standard that's easily reproducible or go with regular rechargeable batteries.

    Gotta go for ProtonMail. Have been running it for a year and I kinda like how it's doing.

    An additional feature is SimpleLogin's "Hide My E-mail" Aliases, which are "burner" e-mail addresses to use with pre-determined SimpleLogin domains (you can add your own domains as well to go around Proton's custom domain limit). Those are included in the full suite and Family subscriptions. (10 a month when subscribing for a year)

    There's also a cheaper variant for 3.50 a month but it lacks the SimpleLogin feature. You can get SimpleLogin seperately for 30 a year, however.

    Since I got those from Ikea, I just want devices to go back to those types of batteries instead of internal battery packs. Still got to appreciate the Xbox controllers sticking to that principle (for now).

    Any thoughts on overhauling cross-posting, to allow more interaction with the source interaction?

    As far as I'm aware: currently when you cross-post, only the recipient instance gets all interactions (comments, upvotes), instead of duplicating to or having the origin solely receive those.

    The current implementation hampers the growth of smaller instances when reposting something to a bigger one. Discoverability is still there due to seeing from which instance the post originates from, but that's arguably not enough.

    I'm honestly disappointed at the hardware:

    • 8 GB RAM for a SKU is definitely fine by me
    • Android 13 from the get-go is good, though I do wonder how fast 14 and up will come, and how many system upgrades it'll get.
    • The Snapdragon 782G is simply the worst of this phone. It is a decent improvement over the 4's Snapdragon, but it's worrying to see a Fairphone being sold at mid to early-premium pricing while budget phones got the same power for much less. I am aware of the Degoogling and Fair Trade Gold and the repairability parts of Fairphone. But I don't see why they can not try and match some actual mid-performance phones nowadays.
    • Haven't heard anything about the display, but I would not be surprised if it will remain stuck at 60Hz - another pain point but this is arguably less of an issue and more of a wish I would had loved to see.

    As long as other phones will have removeable storage (microSD slot) and are cheaper while beating FP's performance, I'd rather stick with them. Really a shame, hoped to see a much better phone this time around. But there'll be even more fierce competition with the EU law on replaceable batteries forcing others (including Apple even) to change to a better repairability model.

    Thanks for letting us know! Here's the code repository, for those wanting to self host it: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym

    I showed this to my friend (an instance owner) and he immediately went "Let's self host this". Really looks great. If someone could make it work somehow with RES, then it would be a total replacement.

    Quick Note: Outer Worlds is the Space Choice's edition, aka the remastered version of this year. It used to have big performance issues, but has been seemingly fixed with recent patches? It at least does not include the original game.

    I could see both ads and subscriptions work (although, the former might be "useless" for those using adblockers, after all, so I'd see persistent/static sponsorship ads similar to how some FOSS projects do it to be more likely).

    Especially the latter, for certain services that focus on providing value. A friend of mine mentioned Misskey for example, apparently being used by some Japanese artists. Considering Twitter's on its way out by being harmful to commission artists, I could see someone spin up such instance and ask X amount for providing a marketplace for commissioned goods.

    To add to the folks owning both a Switch and a Deck:

    Keep in mind that the Steam Deck might be more "unstable" than a regular console like a Switch. Not just games or controller config tweaks, but also general system stability - I'm speaking of experience with the beta software of the Deck.

    Despite that, if you're tech-savvy enough or are happy to stick with only Verfiied/Playable rated games without tinkering, the Steam Deck's highly recommendable. Even for party games, as you can just use any vendor's controller on the Deck basically. Don't need to get 4 of one vendor or the like.

    Own posts aren't viewable from profile?

    Starting today, I noticed some of my comments and posts aren't being visible to me when I am logged in. According to the RSS feed, logging out and checking it through an incognito tab, the posts are successfully posted on the instance and others', however. Take this post for example: https://compuverse.uk/post/822 Here you can see I am able to view my post: ![](https://compuverse.uk/pictrs/image/03e5ab3a-eccd-4ede-beb6-5a52f80bbfb3.png) But when looking at my profile, said post is not visible: ![](https://compuverse.uk/pictrs/image/3dbcce63-8b6a-4abf-b51f-2631e92b9a95.png) Same applies to several recent comments I have made. Am I missing something, or is there something wrong with the instance at the moment? When logging off, I can see the post just fine on my own profile: ![](https://compuverse.uk/pictrs/image/9778096e-991c-43f3-9cc1-db067376d142.png) This is also the case when using the Android client (Jerboa), and when trying to hard-refresh pages etc.

I was struggling for a long time with whether or not I wanted to collect media on physical disks or digitally. > > Right now that’s what I’m doing but there’s always the looming fear of anything I buy being taken away if the service gets shut down. > > I’m curious how others keep their media collections. Are you a Blu-ray or 4k UHD collector? Do you use a digital service like Vudu or something similar? > > Tell me your thoughts!

    You're free to talk about Blu-ray entertainment releases, using the discs for making back-ups or any other discussions about Blu-ray media in general. If you got more information to add to this thread, feel free to DM me or reply to this thread to have it added. -- [Blu-ray](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray) discs are the successor to DVD discs and the competitor of the former [HD DVD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HD_DVD) format. The main variants of the Blu-ray discs are capable of storing 25 GB (single layered), 50-66GB (dual layered), or 100-128GB (BDXL). They are commonly used for home releases of films and shows (along with the still popular DVD format), or used for long-term archival through the use of M-DISCs. Blu-ray players are required to play these discs, although video game consoles (the PlayStation 3, the Xbox One, the PlayStation 4, the Xbox Series X|S and the PlayStation 5) nowadays have Blu-ray player functionality built-in. Discs are still capable of region-locking like DVDs but with simplified regions (A, B, C). Although most discs (especially 4K Ultra HD variants) have relaxed on region-locking the content. [M-DISCs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-DISC) are discs (both DVD and Blu-ray) capable of being written once and kept in storage for a longer period of time, making them ideal for long-term data storage for back-ups of important data. Blu-ray films are currently released in two main formats: regular Blu-ray films with usually a transparent light or deep blue case, or [4K Ultra HD Blu-ray](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_HD_Blu-ray) discs with a usually black case. A handy resource to get to know more about technical information of films, is https://www.blu-ray.com/ 4K Ultra HD discs tend to contain video material with a resolution of 3840x2160 (either native, or upscaled to said format from a lower resolution master) and can contain a higher colour bit depth compared to regular 720p or 1080p standard Blu-ray discs. The [Ultra HD Premium](https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160104006605/en/UHD-Alliance-Defines-Premium-Home-Entertainment-Experience) standard has specific requirements regarding the actual disc consumers do receive, along with the master (the original source) of the material prior to putting it onto a Blu-ray disc. Colour depth as described before, is classified in SDR (Standard Dynamic Range), and [HDR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range) (High Dynamic Range). Common standards of HDR are [HDR10](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDR10) (the most common variant), [HDR10+](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDR10%2B) (using dynamic metadata for adjusting), [Dolby Vision](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolby_Vision) (using dynamic metadata for adusting; although licensed as some Blu-ray players or TV sets can not display them such as Samsung TVs) and [HLG](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_log%E2%80%93gamma) (backward compatble with SDR).
