If I am honest and base it on my actual play patterns it has to be The Binding of Isaac and Slay the Spire. Or maybe Ascension (digital version of the physical deckbuilder) especially if there is ever more content for it.

For spot checks I just run sensors or watch sensors.
sar -m TEMP | grep amdgpu when I want to see history (needs the sysstat cronjob configured to collect sensors data).

How visible is this to the average user? Just wondering because I have yet to see any spam at all in my Mastodon feeds. Big thanks to the admins for being on top of it!

Brotato is a perfect game for the Deck and it's my favorite from the "auto shooter" genre.

Yep, that's the only answer that makes sense to anybody who actually plays and likes roguelikes.

As a rule of thumb I like say that if it needs a pause button it's a 'lite. This doesn't come close to covering the criteria but it's a good shortcut to weed out a lot of them.

If you care about privacy, which I understand, you probably want to leave quickly.

Just because you care about privacy it doesn't mean that you have to stay indoors all the time. You can still hang around on the town square you just have to be conscious about what you do where.

A big part of caring about privacy is understanding how the platforms you use work and using them accordingly. With proprietary platforms this is often opaque and the rules can change. Open platforms are transparent and you can actually understand them - if you make the effort.

The Binding of Isaac and Brotato are my most played by far. Both are on sale currently. Just one more run...

gotosocial might we worth checking out. It provides Mastodon-compatible APIs (so you can run Mastodon clients and UIs against it) but it's less resource hungry and easier to deploy (in my experience). The caveat is that it's less mature.

They federate because it’s the most efficient way to scrape fediverse instances and build profiles on fediverse users.

That's not true. Quiet scraping is much easier to implement than integrating AP into your platform.

Not a huge fan of the noise this adds to the threads. Would be nice if Lemmy frontends could provide better ways to interact with bots. For example custom buttons that would PM the bot with the appropriate message to trigger the action.

Maybe they are not to your taste but games like Shattered Pixel Dungeon and Mindustry are undeniably top tier at what they do. They are in the play store too with 1M+ downloads and high ratings.

And keeping the v2 (or v3+WebRequest) support in the browser is not enough, they'd also have to start running their own extension store since presumably the Chrome one will no longer carry such extensions.

Imagine the person (or more likely a whole group) who has spent weeks designing and iterating over those arrows.

Interesting that they went with the possessed teletubby look.

Autotype is already solved - ydotool, wtype and dotool exists (and possibly others as well).

These tools work by creating a virtual keyboard so they don't let you send input to a specific window. The input goes to whatever happens to be focused at the moment. This makes them less reliable than the X11 equivalents and unusable for tasks where you need to guarantee that the right window gets the input.

Those of us who use the autocd feature of shells "execute" directories all the time. For example I'd type just /usr/bin RET if I wanted to cd to /usr/bin.

There are already almost a hundred extension protocols and you need dozens of them to implement just barebones desktop functionality. If you look under the surface the Wayland ecosystem is arguably already more complex than X11 ever was and it's only going to get worse.

There is a fairly compact Thinkpad USB keyboard which would be much easier to connect if you can make it fit somehow. It has the trackpoint but no trackpad.

Yeah, I ended up doing something similar but using my own Dockerfile where I specified ebook-convert as the entry point.

Yep, I realized that as soon as I posted and tried to ninja-delete but too late :)

If I sum up the numbers from March 2022 it's 26% AMD and 38% NVIDIA.
