Fediverse@lemmy.world•In my opinion, having multiple accounts in different apps and instances is better than trying to combine them into the smallest amount of accountsEnglish
1·3 years agoI mostly agree with this. Here’s how I use the Fediverse:
I have an account on every instance that I want to browse, while keeping my own personal instance up in the first tab. I browse multiple instances, and when it comes time to comment, I just add the post to my own instance and comment away.
I use all the other accounts as lurker accounts. That way, my identity on Lemmy is consistent but I still get to browse anything I want without worrying about everything federating properly.

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•What headphones are you all using while gaming on Linux?English
2·3 years agoI have a pair of Senheiser HD6xx from Drop.com. It’s basically a pair of HD600s with slightly cheaper plastic and bare bones packaging. They have the exact same drivers as the 600s. These cans have been famous for decades with good reason, as they give the perfect balance of low, mid, and high end.
They’re a bit pricey at around $230, and you’ll also need a great amplifier to power it. You can always go with a decent $99 desktop amp or you can shell out $300 on a high quality DAC+AMP. I have the Audient ID14, and everything sounds FANTASTIC. I can turn up the music super loud and still have head room.
TLDR; Drop.com Senheiser HD6xx with an Audient i14 to power them. Overkill for casual listening, perfect value for audiophiles.
Just use a cloudflare tunnel. It’s free and can be used on pretty much any network that sends and receives data.

Technology@beehaw.org•On this day in 2007 the iPhone was released.English
3·3 years agoThe release of the iPhone and iPod touch was such a special time for me. The jailbreaking scene was just getting started and it started my life long fascination with tinkering with technology.

Android@lemmy.world•Are you guys tired of "Material You" design?English
161·3 years agoAs a UI/UX designer myself (hobbyist, to be clear), I really like it.
There seems to be this notion in the homebrew/FOSS/Linux community that “wasted space” is always non-preferable. I can see this being true for some people, but I feel like a lot of people and band wagoning this opinion.
It’s pretty universally known and accepted in the design community that padding is extremely important when it comes to helping your brain read and separate content. And to be fair, most non-tech people prefer space and padding in their applications to make things easier to understand.
I can be entirely off base here, but TLDR: I like padding and it’s literally beneficial to helping your brain understand the layout of what you’re looking at better.
Eddie@l.lucitt.comtoReddit@lemmy.ml•Minecraft to Reddit: So Long, and Thanks for All the FeedbackEnglish

Chat@beehaw.org•What are some good uses we can do/make with ai and such?English
5·3 years agoI just posted about this today in another thread. The ability for AI to be able to describe photos for people who are visually impaired is a total game changer. Most visually impaired people rely on people posting AltText or photo descriptions to become involved, but as most of us already know, most people don’t think twice about it, including myself. I’m definitely trying to be better.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Valve Contracts Another Prominent Open-Source Linux Graphics Driver Developer
3·3 years agoValve is truly one of the last respected game companies. Sure, they make a lot of money and take a 30% cut from developers on Steam, but because of how satisfied their users are, they keep coming back and keep buying more games, which is a win in the long term. Too many companies think short-term or quarterly while Valve seems to look at the big picture. I give a lot of credit to Gabe for not truly selling out at any point. And if it hasn’t happened by this point, I don’t see it happening in the future. It would have happened by now if so.

Technology@beehaw.org•Twitter's new TikTok copycat is filled with animal cruelty videos. Elon calls content "Edgy"
2·3 years agoI think you’re overthinking this. Twitter used to be a place where I could keep up with my friends. Now, it’s a place filled with many forms of hate. Because of this, I no longer wish to use it, so I left.
I personally have no care in the world for what happens with Twitter. Why should I? It becomes overrun with bigots? So what?
Remaining on a platform filled with hate is an indicator that you’re ok with that. I am not, so I left. end of story.
I suggest we create a list of who is bringing what to the party, that way we’ll know who’s bringing what. I’ll start
I will bring the f*ck /u/spez shot glasses!
If you watch the video, you would understand that this individual is deleting specific comments, then saw the exact same comments that he deleted return some time later.

Android@lemmy.world•Google Pixel Fold Review: Maybe Next Year!English
1·3 years agoIt’s a real shame that a phone that looks that good can turn out so bad. Battery life is the killer here, hopefully Google will be able to improve by Gen2, otherwise I feel like Samsung will remain kings of the folding phone space.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What are things you would rather host on a VPS as opposed to a local machine?English
1·3 years agoI would say this: If it’s just you accessing your server and nobody else, self-hosting is fine.
When it comes to giving other people access to your server, no matter how close of friends you may be, I would recommend renting a cheap VPS online. The security benefits are just that much better.

1·3 years agoYeah, I guess when it comes down to it, if you want 100% control you have to pay for it yourself.

1·3 years agoOoh, I like this answer. If they pull it, you still have it. Can always post again.





The reason why I can’t recommend YouTube music is that it uses audio from videos instead of playing the studio versions of the tracks. The fact that it makes me listen to those silly audio parts in music videos while I’m trying to listen to a studio release is terrible in my opinion, and I couldn’t figure out a way to hide those results from search entirely. Does anybody know if they’ve fixed this?
