Games@lemmy.world•Ashes 2063 - An extremely polished post apocalyptic Doom conversion complete with drivable motorcycle, trading towns, a John Carpenter-esque soundtrack, and it's free!English
2·1 天前I noticed it there, but it seems like on the GOG page it says it requires Doom II to function, so I opted not to link to them since it wouldn’t be free then. Do you happen to know if it works without any tinkering for GOG users who don’t own Doom II?

2·1 天前Oh, cool! I had no idea this was a shared universe thing that others were contributing to. Looks like there’s yet another fan project called Ashes: Epoch, a prequel to the first game.
Man, tons of great stuff going on with that world.

3·1 天前The trailer for Ashes: Blackwater (I assume the 3rd game?) looks pretty rad.

15·2 天前Many foods are fortified with calcium, like soy milk. You can reach the recommended daily intake quite easily. Just be sure to have adequate Vitamin D levels and Vitamin K to make sure the calcium actually goes to the bones instead of the arteries.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Sentient 1997 Review: A Forgotten branching real-time narrative experiment (it's also just really weird)English
4·2 天前Same here. It’s not the type of game that seems worth the time investment, but it makes for a great video essay! Maybe some of its ideas could be re-used in a more polished experience someday.

Climate@slrpnk.net•California is investing a half-billion dollars to decarbonize homes for low-income householdsEnglish41·2 天前I grew up cooking on an electric coil and recently now have access to a gas stove, and overall I find the gas stove has more downsides compared to the old electric coil. Technology Connections did a good video on the advantages of resistive coil stoves as well.

Ross Scott suddenly cries out somewhere in Poland
They are very consistently built (good quality control) and their design has been slight modifications since the 80’s, so there’s no real kinks left to iron out, they are very reliable.
However, they have a very thick and squared off grip, which can make them harder to use for those with smaller hands. They are also known for having a lackluster squishy trigger that can make it harder to aim as accurately with until you get a feel for it.

BestOfLemmy@lemmy.world•u/The D Quuuuuill writes powerfully about how a surviving union coal miner who partook in the Battle of Blair Mountain spoke to their elementary classEnglish
2·8 天前I’ve certainly learned for the future that it’s probably better not use a direct link to a comment as the main post :\

5·8 天前The mine worker related his experience during The Battle of Blair mountain, essentially telling those elementary schoolers about an often forgotten major working class conflict that occurred within the US, when unionized mine workers said enough is enough and took up arms against the mining companies, and narrowly avoided conflict with the US government as well.

12·8 天前Unfortunately on lemmy directly linking to someone’s comment inside a post does not automatically scroll down to it, and instead makes it seem like the link is just to the OP, which is the meme image. If you click the link and scroll down to the The D Quill’s comment, you’ll see what I was trying to reference (I have also edited my post to include the comment itself in the post body).

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Slate Auto gets serious about privacy for its bare-bones EV pickupEnglish
3·9 天前I think they absolutely can have deep hooks, but how much sway those hooks have somewhat depends on how much stake they own in the company, which AFAIK is undisclosed.
Slate Auto is ultimately a standard corporation so I trust them about as far as I can throw them, which is why I framed the point on privacy in the post body as if they follow through.
It is entirely possible that the privacy aspect is purely a pre-release marketing thing, and at the point of release the story suddenly changes and a modem is integrated.

3·9 天前Bezos is one investor of many, unfortunately, but I don’t believe it’s known how much say they have in the company or not.

Electric Vehicles@slrpnk.net•Slate Auto gets serious about privacy for its bare-bones EV pickupEnglish
5·10 天前There have been a handful of open source car projects like the Tabby EVO, but most of them seem to have stalled out somewhat. The Tabby EVO website appears to be down, though you can see it through the wayback machine.
Kit cars based on common off-the-shelf parts may be an easier route for people wanting to build their own car from scratch.
Gnome is quite good with dash-to-dock and the system tray plugins, but it does kinda suck both of those need to be plugins.

261·10 天前If they really don’t include a modem as they claim, then it would be truly fundamentally different, and apple’s privacy claims would not be an apt comparison.
If a user does not install the Slate app, there would be literally no way for the vehicle to collect any information whatsoever, it would be like driving an EV from the 90’s, if they had better batteries back then. That would make it stand out as the only privacy respecting modern production vehicle I’m aware of, besides toys for the rich like a Morgan.

politics @lemmy.world•Euro-Office, Europe's open-source alternative to Microsoft Office and Google Docs, launches June 9English
3·16 天前As someone who only used Onlyoffice briefly, to me they both seemed to do the same tasks about as well as each other. I didn’t notice Libreoffice’s age except in the settings menu. For actually just doing normal stuff, like word processing, it felt comparable, besides some minor stylistic UI polish in Onlyoffice.
Are there any specific pain points in Libreoffice that you can recall that Onlyoffice does significantly better in?





















The first game is glacial, but I found the 2nd game moved along pretty well even from the beginning.
