I wanted to love TotK. It brought some very welcome quality of life improvements, a darker side of Hyrule, new mechanics, and more spaces to explore. I appreciated all these things, and enjoyed it for a while, but ended up getting bored and wandering off.
Despite all that it brings to the table, TotK feels repetitive and uninspired to me. It didn't draw me in. It didn't make me care about anything. Every time I pick it up again, I get bored again, and leave. I usually end up starting another BotW play-through, and having fun all the way to the end. (Edit: The DLC's Trial of the Sword was a good challenge that I intend to repeat, too.)
Man collecting handsome salary and amazing healthcare in exchange for betraying his entire country tries to shift the public focus onto people trying to make their lives less miserable with video games.
You can see this when pressing one direction button, as the other three tilt along with it. The switches behind this plastic piece are separate, but as far as I know, that's true in all D-pads.
The Switch Joy-Con is indeed an example of four distinct buttons.
SteamOS is not designed for general computing, so if you use your machine for anything outside of gaming, a desktop distro would be a better fit. (If I were to do this as a first step away from Windows, I would probably choose Linux Mint and switch to the KDE Plasma desktop environment after installing the OS.)
You could then install Steam and get all the gaming goodness without giving up productivity apps. Maybe use Steam's Big Picture Mode if you really want a console-like interface.
In what way is the search function in Lemmy awkward to use,
Generally, I find that it requires too many clicks.
To search for things I'm usually interested in, I have to click a link to reach the search page, wait for the page to load, click a drop-down box, select and click a target type from the list (e.g. "Posts"), click a scope (usually "Subscribed"), click another drop-down box, select and and click a date range from the list, and then enter my search. That's a lot of steps.
(I could enter my search before selecting all those other things, of course, but it wouldn't reduce the number of steps, and it would put extra load on the instance host by triggering multiple extra searches before the one that matters to me.)
Also, in certain cases like searching for a community by ID, there's a weird glitch where the search yields no results at first, but clicking the Search button again gets the expected results.
is there anything specific that can be fixed?
Yes, I think the user friction could be improved in several ways.
I haven't made a list of potential search improvements, but just off the top of my head, it would be convenient to have a simple search box in each community's sidebar. Reddit had this back when I was using it, and it made checking for duplicates before submitting an article much more convenient than it is here.
EDIT 2:
It's also inconvenient that the Community search field displays them in example.org/community format, rather than the normal !community@example.org format, and fails to recognize input in the latter format. The slash format might be a little easier to type for a minority of people who expect it, but it's surprising by being unfamiliar to everyone else, confusing by introducing a second format for community links, and counterproductive by defeating copy/paste of a community link from someplace else.
My suggestion for this would be to standardize on !community@example.org format, and allow omitting the ! on input. It's a dedicated input field just for community searches, after all, so the software shouldn't need users to lead with a bang in order to know we're searching for a community. Side benefit: Since this format places the community name before the domain, users could simply start typing the community name without having to remember what domain hosts it, and they would see useful autocomplete suggestions right away.
EDIT 1:
Outside of search, the first thing I would suggest is making Lemmy readable without JavaScript. This would make it usable by people who disable scripts for security and privacy reasons*, and allow more search engines to index it, both of which would expand Lemmy's reach and utility. And, since we're talking about Lemmy as forum software for communities beyond the fediverse, this change would avoid imposing new requirements and vulnerabilities on communities whose web sites do not currently require JavaScript.
*Note that this matters not only for someone's home instance, which might be whitelisted for scripts, but also when following links to other instances, which is pretty common in my experience.
when a new folder is created or an existing folder’s contents are modified, it seems to be setting the files and their folder’s owner to “52587”
Rootless Docker and Podman run their applications within a user namespace. This means most of the user IDs within the container are mapped to a different uid range on the host, often called a subuid. It's part of how "rootless" mode can allow an unprivileged user to run software that expects to have privileged IDs.
Are you sure it doesn't exist? Have you looked at the ranges defined in /etc/subuid on the host?
My first thought is that the uid numbers you see might be some of your host user's subuids. If so, they will appear as different uids (perhaps with usernames) within the container. Try launching a shell within the container and examining the same files, to see what their owners appear as there.
If this is what's happening, it's normal. As long as the software trying to access the files and the software creating the files are both in the same container, it should be fine. If it doesn't work, there's probably another problem in play.
By the way, Podman almost certainly has a way to map certain container uids to host uids of your choice, which can be convenient when you want to share files between containers or between a container and the host.
I'm not aware of any such communities that run their forum on Lemmy.
I think it could fit, although Lemmy's design as a link aggregation site gives it some rough edges for the purpose we're discussing. For example, the search functions are a bit awkward to use, there is no support for subtopics, and file upload support is (from what I've seen) very limited.
On the other hand, Lemmy's use of Markdown makes it more comfortable for text formatting than BBCode, which is the HTML-like markup used on many forums.
Mishulin vaguely compared Osiris Reborn to a Souls game -- not in its difficulty, but in discovering weapons during the game and strengthening your play style around it.
I find Souls games boring, but this particular aspect wouldn't bother me. It's common in other genres as well, like deck-builders.
Somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't Trump a convicted felon who has not yet been sentenced?
