I just went through this tree about a week ago. Downloaded the app for iOS to try it and would say it wasn’t ready for mainstream. It looks very similar to discord but it just consistently would crash or send me back to the website in order to get anything done. Even the main channel for Revolt would hang and not load properly. That and iOS is on TestFlight… not gonna work well for non tech enthusiasts who know how about it. That
I have a small server on Discord and would love to move it. But the people on it aren’t super tech savvy and the replacement will need to work. Plus, I have less desire to go from one centralized service to another, especially when the backup doesn’t work well. Wish Element would get it together with the phone app and make spaces appear as they do on the computer. That and stable call/video channels.
It would be nice to see a capable app built on matrix platform. Or just another capable platform that has a well working app. Just my two cents.
Aaaaand this touches on the problem with matrix in general, no standard is properly followed, way too many forks with feature support all over the place
There’s only one standard, it has no forks. The discussion is about a filtering feature.
A lot of people don’t seem to respect spaces and communities - from my perspective it looks like the devs are currently pivoting to make the official client look and act more like Telegram/Signal/WhatsApp than Discord/IRC.
Your issue is that the dev team of EleX not prioritizing a feature you want.
If anything, this is a strength of an open source ecosystem: someone who agrees with you was able to, months ago, setup a fork that appeals to your work flow.
There is a single standard with no forks, I said not a single one followed. I run my own Matrix Home Server and use it frequently, there are a lot of different clients and there are a good number of them that do run their own features that are not exactly in Spec because one does not yet exist in the official spec. Stickers used to be a good example of that I remember when there were like three different clients Each of which implemented them in a different weird way until the spec finally landed on an implementation.
And even within this back there are some basic features not supported on certain clients and other such problems. I’m just saying it’s not an alternative to Discord and it will never be mainstream because it’s too confusing and frustrating from the perspective of a standard user.
Same concept that made bluesky get popular over mastodon, trying to find anything on Mastodon of interest is a chore because there’s no real Central spot to do everything the very nature of it is that it’s scattered to the winds, there’s also multiple apps available for Mobile on Mastodon Each of which have different layouts, different features, and normal people that just want to be able to find their topic of Interest can’t be bothered to deal with that
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.
They keep pushing GTA V for free on PSN, except that it’s not GTA V. Period. Full stop. It’s GTA :O without the single player and absolutely nothing on the store page itself says this. You only find out when booting it up. 😬
I was really motivated to get one to play the Demon’s Souls remake, beat it 3 times in a week, and since then I’ve probably spent more time updating the system and collecting the monthly ps+ games than actually playing.
I gave up after PS4 had no games and the few it did have were ported. Except Bloodborne, but emulation caught up and runs it better.
Now I’m just PC/Deck + Nintendo. Xbox I dumped after the 360.
Or just PC/Deck and a used Switch 2 later is my new plan. It’s going to cost too much new.
Maybe not interesting, but it was a big change from being the guy who owned every successful console and some oddballs imports from the 70’s onwards at one point.
I’m pretty similar in the console to PC shift. Pretty much had all consoles and handhelds through Xbox 360/Switch/PS3.
I still miss the Wii controls (I hate moving my neck for anything VR) but I don’t think with Switch 2 motion controls/mouse will get me back on Nintendo. Twilight Princess and Metroid Prime Trilogy were awesome on Wii. Only reason I bought a Switch was for Zelda but I didn’t care for it and eventually gave my switch away, never finished BoTW. I don’t think Metroid Prime 4 is enough for me to justify buying a whole console. So I’m planning to get a steamdeck instead of the switch 2.
If we ever see a world where nintendo games are on steam and you don’t need a nintendo account to play them, I would totally buy up all my favorite games and play them on PC.
Otherwise I really don’t care for the business model of re-buying the games I already own, just re-released on the latest console. Don’t care for paying for online access. And the few games they have really aren’t compelling enough for me to justify buying a console when I have hundreds of unplayed games in my steam library. (my humble bundle subscription snowballed my library lol)
The steam backlog included. I actually started chipping away at mine last year inspired by a tuber challenging themselves to get through all of theirs in a dramatically arbitrary amount time for the clicks.
Basically doing the same without the pressured deadline:
go alphabetically not picking and choosing or it’ll be all crap you keep skipping over to pick from at the end.
play for two hours minimum
if you don’t like the game by then, drop it forever.
I got it down from 304 games to…126 as of yesterday lol. Not humble bundle here, but the very first steam sales. The worst are the old indie games publshers bundled in that I didn’t seek out myself. Most simply do not hold up if they ever really did.
Same. I was so hyped for the hardware, but the games never came. I guess it’s because Sony went all-in on live service games that ended up getting cancelled instead of backing lots of single player games like they traditionally had. Steam Deck took my PS5’s place and eventually even got me into PC gaming to play what my Deck couldn’t — and PC gaming on Linux at that. I doubt I will buy any future PlayStations now, not after how this generation went. There hasn’t been a single PS5 game that I wanted to play that hasn’t come to PC anyway. Like you said, can’t beat the catalog. Plus modding capability and backwards compatibility.
It’s impossible to beat “every game ever made.” Which while it may not play some games now, the platform will eventually play those, too. One way or another.
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.
there’s a subtle difference, but if i’m following your logic, then weapons manufacturers have no moral/ethical responsibility for enabling war to happen? if you made a knife—harmless on its own, and then gave the knife to a murderer who then killed someone with it, are you not enabling?
I just want to make sure you notice it says “encrypted messaging” meaning matrix as a service, as opposed to “encrypted messages”, meaning selling your messages.
sure, it’s nuanced, but imho there’s a difference between actively helping and propping up vs providing free software. when you have active contracts with entities that discriminate, it becomes a different ethical stance than simply building FOSS.
yeah i can understand that viewpoint, and for all the matrix users i hope that remains true. maybe i’m just jaded, but i’ve been around long enough to know that just because a company isn’t a complete pile of shit now doesn’t mean they won’t be in the future—ESPECIALLY when you can see the company they keep (and defend).
The animals are my favorite part of sharing with this game. I took a picture of a Stingray and some sort of Shark today while i was playing and i’ve already decided that i want to use on of them in today’s post
I think part of the magic here is that you’re having fun, and it shows. You’re spreading joy here, bud. Like watching gaming through the eyes of a kid again, but explained with the eloquence of an adult.
Jest jedyną pozostałością słowiańskich dialektów pomorskich. Etnolekt ten należy do grupy języków lechickich; jego centralna odmiana jest bliska polszczyźnie standardowej, z wpływami języka dolnoniemieckiego oraz wymarłych połabskiego i pruskiego[5].
Śląska mowa jest etnolektem wieloskładnikowym.
Na kształtowanie się słownictwa etnolektu miały wpływ zapożyczenia z języków: literackiego polskiego, czeskiego (szczególnie z narzecza morawskiego, traktowanego niekiedy jako odrębny język), niemieckiego (najczęściej z germańskiego dialektu śląskiego) oraz częściowo słowackiego. W mowie tej konsekwentnie dominuje dzisiaj fonologia i morfologia słowiańska i przeważa takiż źródłosłów. Dyskusyjna jest kwestia statusu mowy śląskiej. W publikacjach językoznawczych śląszczyzna uznawana jest za dialekt języka polskiego. Jednakże znaczna część wyrażeń bliższa jest językowi staropolskiemu niż współczesnej polszczyźnie standardowej[9].
