mesamunefire, do games w Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators)

So why not matrix?

Is revolt federated?

pineapplelover,

It’s easier to use and more polished. Also, not federated or decentralized. Although you can self host it

mesamunefire,

Self hosting and open source to me is the most important part. Federation can come if the need arises. I was just curious.

I’m personally going to stay on my matrix channels as they seem more established. But it’s good to have options.

Right now discord seems fine but I’ve already lived through many de-platforming events. And one day it too will go the way of the dodo. People getting attached to nameless online services is funny.

Thanks!

No and they don’t plan to federate it. Not on their roadmap.

Further Matrix is guided by the Matrix Foundation, a non-profit group.

But I mean sure let’s just dump one for-profit app for another as if it won’t follow the same path.

I think you need to re-read my post.

  • I did not say to dump one for another
  • I literally mention Matrix exists
  • I say this won’t be for everyone

Another reminder, this is not my server, I just thought this was fun and I’m sharing an alternative. But I’ve tried reading all I can about Revolt, and I can’t see where they say it’s “for profit”. Can you link me to that?

mic_check_one_two,

Unfortunately, nothing else has really matched Discord’s combination of voice, video, and text chatting. Matrix doesn’t have feature parity, and doesn’t even have a functional client… Which means it’s only really viable for the people who care enough to learn how to set it up. And the average user does not care enough to learn.

mesamunefire,

I’m not sure what you mean? I have voice, video and text working on my yunohost without any real issues. My wife and I use it all the time. Element (the client) could be a bit easier def on the initial experience, but to me that’s it.

The thing discord has is the people. When discord went down a couple of weeks ago, my tiny instance quadrupled in users. And the local city specific matrix got quite a few.

Blue Prince- I’m taking a break after getting to a certain point. It’s been great fun and the underlying message seems very timely. Gran Turismo 7- it’s my “in-between” game and I like to play the weekly challenges. Vampire Survivors- my favorite game on my phone. I was on a break but I’m back to seeing gem explosions when I close my eyes.

For sure he is technically skilled!

Just finished the Front Mission 1 remake and started the Front Mission 2 remake. Found out why it wasn’t as popular. Playing a bit of Space Marine 2, CoD, Warframe when the mood takes me. I also played some more Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, which is like a spiritual sequel to Jet Set Radio Future.

ReversalHatchery, do gaming w I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought.

I have been using IPS displays for many years, and I had to look up what is IPS glow. now I see it, but it doesn’t bother me. what bothers me is that my dell monitor is absolutely garbage on reproducing dark colors, while my much older cheap LG is very good in that. like, the black background of the terminal shows a very visible difference

ModernRisk,

I have been using IPS displays for many years, and I had to look up what is IPS glow.

I was the same as you with my old (still current) monitor but then, I bought the DELL and it was well, very notable: DELL IPS Glow (IPS Bleed?). To the point it was not a black screen anymore. It never really bothered me until, I had the DELL for a short time.

ReversalHatchery,

yeah, it seems dell is just utter garbage

doeknius_gloek, do gaming w I’m in dire need of a new monitor but, it seems, it is harder to find a good one than I thought.

I’ve been using VA Panels for a long time because of that IPS glow. My current main monitor is a iiyama GCB3480WQSU-B1 and I’m pretty happy with it.

ModernRisk,

How’s gaming on the monitor? I kept reading about how VA isn’t good for gaming due to black smearing and motion blur issue.

Yeah, the IPS glow is a major issue. When I bought the 24G2 4 years ago, it was on a whim and probably had luck. Now it’s tough to find a good IPS monitor.

There are some high performance VA panels that are good for gaming. Samsung Odyssey Neo G7/G8 for example.

Are there really no mini-LED monitors in your country? I’m a really big advocate of them. As close to OLED HDR performance as you can get without burn-in and with better peak brightness. I’m currently using a Cooler Master GP27Q that I got for cheap as an opened box, which has been a really solid monitor for the cheap cheap price I got it for (couple hundred euros).

I think a 27 inch 1440p monitor with 2000+ dimming zones will be the sweet spot between performance and affordability, though none like that are on the market yet.

doeknius_gloek,

Gaming is fine, I haven’t noticed any issues but I have to admit that I’m a casual gamer at most. The monitor supports FreeSync and refresh rates up to 165Hz.

I haven’t compared VA to OLED yet, but the latter costs at least twice as much where I live. For me personally, I don’t think that’s worth it. My previous monitor was a Samsung CF791 with Quantum-Dot but honestly I find the iiyama to have nicer colors. That’s highly subjective of course and the CF791 was released roughly 10 years ago, so take this with a grain of salt.

Canadian_Cabinet,

I absolutely love my VA monitor. Never had an issue with motion blur (although I always turn it off in games) nor smearing to a noticeable degree, but I wonder if higher refresh rates can help alleviate it. I have a 165hz for reference

Bartsbigbugbag,

Smear and ghosting are bad on VA in my experience. I had one around when Miles Morales first came out and it was so bad I thought my tv was broken, and Samsung agreed and sent a guy to replace the panel. The new panel did the same thing though, and at that point I just sold it and bought an OLED.

That’s what I have been reading here and there, that VA are good for visuals (movies, tv shows and such) but bad for gaming. Though it seems that some people have a decent experience with VA panels when gaming but I don’t want to risk it (yet). Unfortunate that the new panel did the same thing.

bought an OLED.

How has the OLED monitor been for you when gaming (and either general usage or office work)? Response time, text clarity, motion and actual black screen? Since like another person said that there’s not really one-fit and always have to have a compronis (IPS with glow and OLED with possible burn-in), I’m tempted to purchase* an OLED monitor for around €600 and then just save up money for when the burn-in happens. I have been trying to find a decent monitor for quite a few months, so I have become a bit impatient and just want a good monitor to game mostly (say 80% gaming and the 20% is either browsing, movies, tv shows and office work).

drmoose, do games w Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread)

Was really sad when found out that my Linux home pc can’t run it on 6600rx. Turns out only needed a driver update and set desktop resolution to 1080p and now everything is running nicely at 60fps.

The game is really fun though I already added couple of balance mods:

pfm, do zapytajszmer w (jestem amerykanką) wiem, że w polsce, mówi się po niemiecku. czy posługują się polsko-niemieckim gwarem?

Zależy co rozumiesz przez “mówić po niemiecku”. Jeśli masz na myśli rozmowy codzienne między ludźmi, to nie. Jeśli chodzi o umiejętność posługiwania się tym językiem, to tak, część ludzi zna niemiecki.

I had some 1080p asus gaming monitor with high refresh rate but terrible ghosting and colors, colors were especially noticably bad compared to my tablet. I just got a yesteryears top tier 2k ultrawide 34" from LG for 200 bucks and I’m really happy. 4070ti super manages to runs games on it fine and it takes less space than 3 monitors would.
