In my attic, I have an Open-Stub J Pole and a 20m dipole. They work pretty well! You’ll need to make sure that you don’t have a metal roof or any foil layers in the roofing or insulation. If you’re running a dipole, try to avoid electrical wires – if you can’t, have the dipole cross them at a 90º angle.

Technology@beehaw.org•Zen Browser: A New Privacy-Focused Browser(Firefox)English
5·1 年前I’m definitely curious. Browser-switching is annoyingly mentally difficult, though. I keep bouncing between Arc and Firefox, so maybe this is the perfect marriage.
RetroDECK aims to be an all-in-one solution. No need to mess with the terminal or anything.
It automatically configures the emulators, has a fantastic custom controller configuration, and is very easy to update through flathub/Discover.

Technology@beehaw.org•A New Study Investigates 'The Failed Migration of Academic Twitter' To MastodonEnglish
5·1 年前No but when I tried to change Mastodon servers, I was frustrated to learn that I could carry over my followers but nothing else. The platform highlighted “easy mobility,” but I found that to be misleading.

Technology@beehaw.org•A New Study Investigates 'The Failed Migration of Academic Twitter' To MastodonEnglish
2·1 年前I think the biggest problem that Mastodon et. al need to solve is changing servers/accounts. There needs to be an easy way to move servers while retaining past posts, etc.
Yeah, I turn them off in a lot of games. Otherwise I accidentally hit them and trigger some weird effect.
One of my students has been begging me to buy Ultrakill since last year, and I keep saying no just to spite him. Maybe I’ll finally give it a try!
I’ve been excited for this game since the original trailer (I think it was a Nintendo direct). I have a few games to finish first, then I’ll get this.

2·2 年前I definitely put up with shit graphics and potato framerate for Baldur’s Gate 3

6·2 年前I’m surprised by Helldivers. I can’t imagine that it runs very well.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Maybe hot take: as a handheld, the regular switch is an awful handheldEnglish
2·2 年前OK - I thought this was the case, but wasn’t sure. At any rate, a microSD card is a good purchase (but that’s true for all of these handhelds).

35·2 年前It’s definitely not as comfortable as something like the Steam Deck, but I played so much Switch while commuting on the train since it came out. It’s been a real joy to have. It’s also WAY smaller than any of the current-gen handhelds.
What do you mean by “cart games being downloaded in full to the system?”

Gaming@beehaw.org•Hades II - Sign Up for the HADES II Technical Test - Steam NewsEnglish
16·2 年前I might be in the minority, but I generally prefer to wait and avoid early access, beta, etc. Whenever I participate, I get burned out before the final game releases, so I don’t get to enjoy the complete artistic vision.
I played all of Horizon Zero Dawn on a Steam Deck, so it might work for you. You can get it for like $10 on key resell websites

Gaming@beehaw.org•Roku’s New HDMI Tech Could Show Ads When You Pause Your GameEnglish
5·2 年前That only works if you’re using something Linux + Jellyfin, though. Any set top box like a Fire Stick or Chromecast will sell your data too.

36·2 年前There was a really interesting interview on The Verge with the CEO of Telly. Basically, TVs are so cheap now because they make all of their profit selling your data. His pitch is “why pay for a TV and then also have your data mined. They should at least give you the TV for free.”
It’s frustrating because even if we buy a “premium” devices like an LG C3 or one of the nice Samsung TVs, they’re still going to spy on us. (PiHole FTW).

Steam Deck@sopuli.xyz•Nearly 30 Percent Of The Top 100 Steam Deck Games Aren’t VerifiedEnglish
3·2 年前I did not own a PC for a while. I played BG3 exclusively with my Steam Deck hooked up to a monitor and M+KB. It was honestly great.
I can agree with this. Or pirating old games that aren’t available through GOG, Steam, etc. Like if I want to play Battletoads, I don’t have many options…
I feel like the “pirate everything” mindset focuses on shitty corporations but ignores that paying for media also helps the creators pay their rent.





Citizen Sleeper was phenomenal. I really liked how it handled branching choices and the limitations of time.
