Ordered LE ~20 minutes after launch. Currently stuck on "Packaged items", and refreshing way too often to see the same message...

Our distributor has hit a processing backlog for orders to Canada. We are actively working through the issue and will ship your order as soon as we can. You will receive an email with tracking information once your order ships

I'm hoping this backlog won't be too long. 🥲

It seems really dumb to play on such a device, but I've been playing a few rounds of Bejeweled 3 when looking for something in short bursts. There's a controller profile that works surprisingly well with the dpad + face buttons.

For laid back / cozy games, I recommend A Short Hike, TOEM, the Frog Detective trilogy & Dave the Diver.

A mesh system would be better or even an old router in AP mode. That's actually what I'm using to get full speed downstairs. It works really well, with no latency even for complexe things such as my Plex server or VirtualDesktop (wireless VR with my PC).

Wired is always better than wireless. You'll get better WiFi speed with AP than Wi-Fi repeater.

Don't give Todd any idea. The world would crumble if Bethesda was to port Skyrim again.

Doom on the wrapper, it really can be played from anywhere. Now that's peak gaming.

Why am I not surprised it's been done. Mad lad.

It looks great as it is. I'd vote for the current one.

It's been in my backlog for a while (it just keeps getting bigger & bigger...). I try to switch genre every now and then just so I don't get bored of the sameness, but given the appreciation this received online and your comment, it's been pushed to the top of that list haha :)

Almost done with Eternights. It has its janky moments but for a first game by a one person studio, it's surprisingly good!

I'm also halfway done with Gato Roboto, it's a great (but short) game where you play as a cat in a mech suit à la Metroid 🐱🤖

C'est un pas dans la bonne direction! Par contre, quand je vois des termes comme "durée raisonnable" et "accessible" sans davantage de détails, j'ai peur que ça soit appliqué qu'à moitié par les fabricants. J'ose imaginer que le projet de loi contiendra plus de détails là-dessus.

Par exemple, si la documentation est derrière plusieurs liens semi-obscures (et/ou qu'il faut se créer un compte), c'est accessible oui, mais loin d'être dans la meilleure intention du consommateur.

Pour que ça fonctionne bien, faut que ça soit bien délimité et que les sanctions soient assez importantes. Sinon, ça sera bien beau sur papier mais on aura peu de changements concrets.

What's the theme? I tried a few but they didn't look as good. Yours seems to fit great with Gnome 40+.

It's still possible but that requires a few steps to works.

If you're using the official YouTube app, you can press the three vertical dots button on the website, you should have an option called "Open app".

If you're using ReVanced/Vanced, and because Google has made poor design choices about handling links, you can go into the app settings to tell it to handle every YouTube URL. This should works when clicking a YouTube link from Sync. However, for links that you changed manually from Piped to YouTube, Chrome doesn't provide a way to open in app. Firefox can do that, but if it's not your default browser, this option requires you to change browser every time you want to see a video inside the app.

The best option is to use "Open Link With..." which provide an easy way to open apps from your browser. It's as simple as sharing the website to "Open Link With..." and select your app eg. YouTube/ReVanced/Vanced/etc. You can also set it as your browser which should do that automatically but I haven't tested it so YMMV.

I hope this was useful!

Seems to be from the "No Poop July" trend a few months ago.

It use the same path logic as YouTube. You only need to replace "piped.video" with "youtube.com".

Didn't you know that telling a joke more times makes it funnier? smh my head...

Sorry, I thought it was obvious I was sarcastic about their "mistake". They want to be seen as the victims like they didn't know in advance the outcome of their decisions. Backing down on the changes only to show something "less worst" is only a way to make the pill easier to swallow. Unity cannot be trusted anymore.

How to be a company in 2023

1. Make a controversial move to please your shareholders without caring about your loyal customers.
2. Don't use a proper PR team, just use the same apology template on Twitter that everyone is using.
3. People are angry... Could anyone seen that coming? 🙈
4. Undo some changes without addressing the root problem.
5. ????
6. Profit (if by profit, you mean loose every inch of respect people had about you)

Rinse & repeat, because we're all humans and we can't learn from our mistakes. Surely, this won't happen again... right?

It's always the case of a small group ruining the whole thing for everyone. Identifying and removing big dodgy paid servers would be a good middle ground without punishing the others.

I'm using a mix of Sync and Eternity. I was using Infinity for Reddit before the migration.

Because Sync came first, it's still my default way to navigate Lemmy but Eternity is slowly growing on me. I prefer to alternate between a few apps to stay up to date on the alternatives, and to ensure I don't become dependant on a single app/interface.

I've also tested a few times Photon, great web UI which can be installed as a PWA.

Good analogy. The battle shouldn't be about forcing abandonware to be opensource. We should focus on DRM, it makes games almost impossible to play when servers shut down.

OP should have compared it to other medias such as movies. When you buy a box copy, you expect it to work long after the authors/studios/etc. are gone.

The issue is about the lack of legal ways to play older games as time moves on. It will only grow bigger in the next few years with even more games relying on DRM and online servers.

So many questions on a single image. Why the red marks? Why is the laptop so old it has a XP (maybe Vista?) certified sticker but shows a recent Sonic game collection? The world may never know. Godspeed little hedgehog, may you go fast and eat plenty of chili dogs.

Beau tuto, félicitations! Seule petite remarque, sur ton top 3, il serait peut-être intéressant d'ajouter une mention concernant Beehaw vu leur incertitude actuelle sur la poursuite de leur instance. Une section sur les outils disponibles pour migrer d'une instance à une autre pourrait également être très intéressante. Sinon, comme certains ont mentionné, ça serait bien d'épingler ça!

Lately, I've been really into self hosting. My first thought was server fan, not air conditioning haha🫠

Choice is great for the consumers, it means different options for different folks. You want Linux, you got options. You prefer Windows, same scenario. This can be applied for every other aspect; screen, size, controls, offline play, etc.

Lots of options doesn't mean you have to buy each. Personally, I'm happy to see such a thriving market of devices.

It's times like these that you remember how the Internet has become filled with advertisements to the point that it interferes with normal use. Not suprising to hear older folks still getting random crap on their devices when it's shown in their face every moment.

Thanks for the transparency, let's hope for a smooth migration! 🤞

The new island is pretty short, but really enjoyable. Have fun! :)

Such a gem! I've 100% it a few months ago, playing exclusively on Steam Deck. Recommended for anyone who likes games such as A Short Hike, Lil Gator Game, etc.

Can't complete the collection without both.

Fair enough, I was only joking haha. I'm using both Sync and Eternity (known as Infinity for Lemmy) and both clients render Markdown. Can't say for others clients. Seems like not every client see the same thing...

Everyone should use uBlock + Facebook Container. It's still far from perfect, but every step counts.

Pls Shigeru Miyamoto I NEED that Waluigi weenie amiibo in my collection 🥺🥺

Windows Terminal + WSL, everything related to Xbox if you're using Gamepass or "Play anywhere" titles (Xbox/PC cross-buy).

Most basics apps are from the Microsoft app store too; calculator, calendar, paint, etc.

It's been a hot minute since I've used Windows, but you'd be surprise how much apps are now updated through that app store.

If your device use Windows in S mode, all your apps must come from the store & you must use Edge.

From what I've seen online, it must be done during installation. So short answer, no.

As others have said, you could also backup your data and do a fresh installation (from a boot media, not from Windows itself just to be extra safe).

ThioJoe also has a video talking about this English (Europe/World) thing and also provide a Powershell script to delete Windows bloatware. This option could be interesting if you don't want to reset your whole installation.

You must switch back to English (US) after installation if you want access to Microsoft Store (and even if you don't, you probably should because most apps are now there).

I've seen a few tools to suppress most telemetry such as ChrisTitusTech's winutil or O&O ShutUp, maybe you could give that a try. Microsoft is really pushing hard Bing & Edge...

Also, as a Linux user, I must obliged to the rules and say there's alternatives out there if you want to try something new. :-) !linux@lemmy.ml

Same scenario for me! My laptop only serve to have a device when I'm on-the-go, but at home, I use my desktop. It was one of the reason why I went with an older Thinkpad, it's well supported and with no dedicated GPU, it's dead silent most of the time. I'd love a 16:10 screen, but the options are pretty expensive and often not as repairable as my T480.

Switching between "Active" and "Top [1h/6h/12h]" at different times of the day has provided me with enough content & interactions to make Lemmy my new home. I always was a lurker on the old site, no comment nor post, not even an account. Now, I'm slowly trying to break from this habit. Being on Lemmy feels like I'm not shouting in the void; when a platform gets too big, you get lost in the crowd. It's always nice to see recurring usernames on different communities.

Seems like someone is new with Markdown notation haha :-)

You probably tried to write "number 1 [...]" but the hash (#) converted your whole text to a Heading level 1.

I'd say lack of marketing and higher price tags. Money / Performance ratio is also better with a decent Thinkpad.

Some of these options can't (or not without high markups) be bought and shipped to Canada.

Because it use common hardware and bought "en masse" by enterprises; they tend to be more supported with FOSS than other options.

I've been happy with my used T480 so far.

There's KOHO for Canadians, still not a proper Privacy.com replacement but you get two Mastercard cards (one physical & one digital) and they are refillable via Interac payments.

When doing trials, I set a few dollars on the card to ensure if they try to do a 1$ transaction to verify the card and I'm good to go. Even if I forget to cancel, the payment won't pass.
