@Xkeeper someone made an interesting interface to the fediverse the other day: https://puckipedia.com/f66d89ff/i-made-a-forum
i wonder if doing that, and then combining posts like threadreader might be able to get rid of some of these problems..?
it would turn into a hybrid forum where the topics are still only by people you follow, or are on the same instance as, but also make threads more intelligible and rare posts harder to miss
there's still the mentality difference in what gets posted, but maybe it's a start?
meta thoughts
@Xkeeper i actually watch the local timeline here about as much as i do my main one
one of the appeals of this place for me was that local timelines on instances that attracted you would likely have others who you'd mesh well with--and that's part of the reason i kinda don't care for massive instances
i'm probably very much an outlier though--like, i also use tweetmarker on birdsite so i don't miss anything by people i follow (which also means i limit how many peeps i follow)
@Zhorken ooh! mawile is really high here!
i also see maractus and cinccino. less common, but both Very Good
(~) Kinks / Catch 22
@ulvra i think this happens because you put more value in your friends' thoughts, so saying things that might make them uncomfortable can make you pretty skittish
basically, it's hard to tell if they're avoiding your kink because it makes them uncomfortable unless they bring it up first
with a rando, there's no reason to stay in conversations about things they don't like--also, when talking about a kink you don't have with a friend, there's no pressure to continue either
@Raspberryfloof ahahahahah, what the heck??
i'm definitely leaning more towards your RAM theory now though
i mean, if i knew my compiler did that, i would sandbox it so hard! i wonder how much sensitive information has been inadvertently distributed like this?
@Raspberryfloof hee, oh gosh
grabbing random bits of ram in compilation seems hellua-insecure
then again, the only other way i could think of this going down is maybe a developer used the scratch buffer as a scratchpad, and saved it as a file?

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh! you can define that by prefixing your command like 'PROTON_VETSION="3.7 Beta" protontricks (whatever args you give it normally)'
you can also make that variable stick around until you close your shell by typing: export PROTON_VETSION="3.7 Beta"
i don't know if that's the right thing to set it to, but that's how you'd do it

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i guess setting the environment variable isn't enough?
hmm, maybe seeing where it's pulling the original directory from might give some hints?
if protontricks is a script, try just opening it with a text editor and seeing if it's hardcoded, or what environment variable it needs
if it's a binary maybe "strace protontricks (your args) 2>&1 | grep 3.7 -B2 -A2" might spit out something meaningful?

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz maybe setting your launch parameters as 'PROTON_VETSION="3.7 Beta" %command%' might help?
and if not, maybe you can symlink the bin folder from beta into the other one? (ln -s /path/to/bin /path/to/3.7)
you can drag and drop files and folders onto your terminal, so you don't need to type those paths out
oh hi! i do computers, and sometimes draw stuff~ i like lo-fi things and cute aesthetics!
i also probably like you
