@Xkeeper someone made an interesting interface to the fediverse the other day: puckipedia.com/f66d89ff/i-made

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)

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz ohhh! the flank kit

it's fun to flank peeps, even the ones who know you're there

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz swim speed up is a must with ninja squid, since it cuts down your swim speed a lot

if you do the krak-on splat roller, sub saver is nice for not being vulnerable after placing beacons

@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

it's 2:20 am, and *of course* i wanna write a roguelike in lisp right this second

I love that the default Emacs scratch buffer text got into Mario Golf (GBC) somehow. I wonder if this was a mis-copy-and-paste from a developer, or if it was another case of a compiler taking random memory contents and using them for padding in the ROM...

@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, no worries!

i can't actually do right now since it's past midnight here

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz honestly, that's something nobody should assume anyway

it's not really obvious if you haven't done it before

overthinking 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh! the way i usually do that is to say something like "i figured it out! you just <answer>" and mark that as the answer

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i'd be up for this later if you are! (i mean league, i know that rotation is long gone now)

proton/steam play troubles 

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh, no worries!

i know that things can get pretty confusing at first when digging below the interface of a new system--i think you can do it, though!

good luck, @ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz..!

proton/steam play troubles 

@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

proton/steam play troubles 

@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 splatoon dreams are fun! but it's probably a bad sign when you get bodied in your own mind

proton/steam play troubles 

@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

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz ohhh! nice rank x power!

(and you know what? i should play some splatoon soon too)
