Yep, with the desktop versions of Signal, Matrix (Element) and Steam chat.

I’m yet to try out gamemode, which may help. But I typically close Signal and Element when I’m gaming, so it’s usually not an issue for me.

Edit: I’m on EndeavourOS, KDE, i7, 16GB, Nvidia 2060.

You appear not to have heard of Google Glass.

Hadn’t seen that before. Love it. 😄

This seems a reach. Podcasting (MP3 files distributed by an RSS feed) is platform agnostic.

To me, claiming that any platform is “killing” any demographic’s podcasting capability is screaming “I know absolutely nothing about podcasts”.

YMMV. 🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s a net positive, not a negative: using ESDF means you have a bunch of keys available to the left of your movement keys.

Sure, it can be a pain if a game forces WASD, but otherwise you’re not the person having to lift your hand off the movement keys (or buying an MMO mouse) to have the same flexibility. 😄

I think it’s the usual “it hasn’t impacted me personally, so how bad can it be” maintaining the status quo at all costs.

Once something happens that they care about, they’ll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become…

Nearing? I’m already there and I’m the young 'un in my group of gaming buddies. The eldest is in his 60s and we’re all playing most evenings.

Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?

This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.

Had no idea about this. Very useful, thanks!

I second this, as it’s my use case.

Providing you lay out each note correctly with appropriate frontmatter, Dataview’s DQL and DataviewJS give you all the SQL-like functionality you could want.

Plus a load of useful functionality beyond a plain DB.

It is.

I’m sure you’ll be shocked to learn that their consistent advice was to call them so they could take it away to examine instead…

Here we go again.

I dealt with a few CSAM cases in previous jobs and there’s an oddity in UK law: if you even suspect there’s a CSA image - including regular nudes of someone under the age of consent - on a device, it is illegal for you to check.

By opening the image to determine what it is, you are prosecutable. (Not sure if anything has changed since, as this was nearly 10 years ago).

There are many, far better, ways to deal with this issue that don’t destroy relationships and futures.

One business dying is not the death of a media type, FFS.

Searched replies and was not disappointed. 😄

Also: phone, earphones and mask these days.

I once wished for this, especially back in the days when there were next to no laws regarding it, but there’s zero chance as the money and attention has moved to it. There’s political capital in demonising online discourse.

“Think of the children” is somehow the gotcha for so many of the hard-of-thinking amongst us.

Staggering that Myst is at that price. Sure, it’s great, but it was one of the first CDROM games and its gameplay reflects that.

Linux users: People have problems with web(p|m)? Huh, TIL.

An important question, usually conspicuous by their absence with confirmation bias-related posts. But in this case, the source is provided. You can check for yourself and let us know, if you have a Xitter account to see the replies.

Unless Elmo’s added yet another layer of enshittification. It’s hard to keep up.

“This is illegal!”

Bung in the post

“This is legal… for a fee!”

If the punishment is a fine, it is targeted at those who can’t afford the brib—I mean fee.
