If you’re seeing it and you’re not subscribed here there you must be browsing Local or All rather than your subscribed communities.

• Subscribed - only stuff you’re subscribed to (called Home in some apps).
• Local - all posts from communities on your instance, and this Stardew Valley community is on your instance.
• All - all posts your instance knows about, everything from your Subscribed and Local feeds plus every post from every community that someone on your instance has subscribed to, including communities on other instances

So the answer is that you’re seeing a lot of posts because someone is making a lot of posts, people are upvoting them (the game is from 2016 but it’s still very popular and still getting new content updates) and you’re viewing feeds where they show.

It said it was free to download and use but a convenience charge for getting it on Steam.

But like you, I’m also happy with Heroic, and there’s also Lutris.

20 years ago, if someone said ‘u’ for ‘you’ then I assumed they were young. These days if I see someone use ‘u’ for ‘you’ I assume they are 60+.

I think Searx is a good suggestion. Can be a bit slow to return results because it runs the search on a bunch of search engines and compiles the results, but that helps to make sure better stuff rises to the top.

It’s 1996 and we have plans for a new telescope game!

2021: finally launches

OK maybe the software industry already operates like NASA.

Wait, so you get a 4 day week but everyone else has to do 5 days so you can go to your appointments?

I can easily search up people talking about both the Windows and MacOS system wide spell checks. While for Linux you just find people talking about how dumb it is everything uses different implementations: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxquestions/comments/hu4ktg/does_systemwide_autocorrect_and_typo_flagging/

As for NZ English words, it would mostly be words that have come from the Māori language including place names and people’s names.

In theory having multi-language spell check would solve most of the issues, but I’ve never seen Māori as a supported language on Linux.

For some examples of words, there are place names like Taranaki, Te Anau, Te Awamutu. People’s names like Hone Harawera or Apirana Ngata. And common words and phrases that have made it into English like Kia ora (mostly used in English as a greeting) and Aotearoa (a name for New Zealand). There will also be company and product names as well.

Haha I get that I can’t really expect better than “English”, or maybe “US English” and “UK English”, but having a system wide dictionary I can add words to by right clicking and choosing “add to dictionary” would be nice.

As I understand it, each program keeps their own.

Linux in general has good language support.

I’ve yet to find a distro with NZ English 😆. I’d love to just start a new dictionary and add words to it for all the spell checks, but I’ve never worked out how to do this. I’m not sure there’s even system level spell check.

Well, every time assets get split between their 3 kids, you reduce the assets accumulated in one couple.

Or if they give a bad review they won’t get a free phone to review next time.

Ai capabilities turned off in Europe

I don’t know the backstory but I’m guessing it’s slurping up your privacy so hard it’s illegal in Europe.

Oh man the early Onepluses (up to 3 or so) were the best! They were so much cheaper than other phones at that price. Must have been selling my data or slave labour or loss leader because the value was crazy.

I had a 5X. I loved it, never noticed issues like you mentioned. 18 months later it got stuck in a reboot loop, took it back. Known issue, have a refund.

I used a 5X for a year and a half for free. Best bang for buck I’ve had in a phone.

I joined Steam when I bought Portal on disk from a store and couldn’t play it without signing up for Steam and installing Steam just to play my game.

It’s open street map data. If there isn’t mapping info for your area, you can fix that.

You’re assuming that Arch causes the unhappiness. Maybe unhappy people naturally tend to use Arch, so as to avoid further pain from painful distros like Pop! OS?.

Yes that’s what I’m talking about. It’s automatically triggered at the end of year 2 but you can trigger the assessment at any time after that point at the shrine with a diamond.

There are lots of challenges people do because they enjoy it. Things like trying to complete the community centre in year 1, which requires using each day to its fullest. But it’s all self imposed.

There are probably only two things that could kind of be considered, which I will try to keep spoilers to a minimum for any readers but it’s still a little spoilery. One is what happens at the end of year 2, but if you don’t stack up then you can retrigger this on demand. And the other is the randomised quests that come late game with time limits, but this is a short term time limit (do X in X days) and you don’t have to do them they are just random challenges.

There probably will be something. We may not be able to predict it. But reddit will pull a Digg or a Twitter at some point and people will be looking for alternatives. Then we get another surge of users.

Alternatively, one of the federated Lemmy alternatives (Sublinks, Mbin, Piefed) might hit the right audience and push up the platform userbase.

Peak Lemmy users happened, it was in the later part of last year as a result of the reddit API controversy. No one expected that to stay, and users slowly waned after this as expected.

I’d say we’re in a maintenance phase at the moment. Active users is somewhat steady, posts and comments are somewhat steady. There are around 45k active users, but note that Lemmy counts this different than other sites. For later Lemmy versions, you need to comment, post, or vote to be considered. Lurkers that don’t vote (whether logged in or not) are not counted at all (for earlier Lemmy versions, voters are also not counted).

Growing more will probably happen after some other event to dive people away from reddit.
