How many steam deck folks are here and what are you playing? - Beehaw https://beehaw.org/post/494131

Right now, I’m playing the early access version of Baldurs Gate 3. I’m getting ready to put it down (frustrated: BG3 has the potential to be good, but without controller support, I’m getting really frustrated with the UI. ) and switch to Yakuza Like a Dragon. What are you playing now and what are you looking forward to playing next?

asklemmy Asklemmy What are your hot tips when travelling by airplane?
Jump
  • RoaringSilence RoaringSilence 1 year ago 100%

    Get chewing gum and take one on take off and later descent, it helps with pressure release for the ear's.

    Don't get worried about the noise the aircraft makes when flaps or gears travel.

    If the flight is longer try to get a place at the walkway , you could stretch the legs out.

    It's is nicer to sit in front of the wing area, less noise and flight path changes are more easy to handle.

    Don't sit near toilet's, smell and traffic during flights.

    PowerDeleteSuit does exactly what you need.

    PSA first save your comment and post history then overwrite your posts first and wait a day, so the reddit history database only contains the garbage you entered. Unfortunate I missed it.

    For kbin it is:

    They are both link aggregators. With kbin you can follow, post all of Lemmy without registering on a Lemmy instance.

    Kbin also integrates easy with mastodon and show's the microblog in the same way as if it was a Lemmy thread.

    I registered on Lemmy and on kbin checking both out . I like kbin more for now but keep my options open.

    Soldering iron with needle tip, hot and full of tin. Power plug stuck in the extension cord connector.

    Took the iron pointing towards me in the right hand together with the cord plug and pulled ......... Plug suddenly came free and the hot iron tip stuck in my left arm.

    Pulled it out and it was clean, hole in the arm filled with tin residues. Didn't hurt to much because nerves were dead around the hole.

    Went straight to the hospital, took 3 weeks and a lot of cleaning to get the wound clean.

    PC Software that calculates the optimal distribution for rotor fan blades.

    Android Software for helping me picking food. Two different versions, both using databases and are offline usable.

    A third Software that is connected to a server structure and collects parts picked by user, creating excel format parts lists.

    I am an autodidact when it comes to programming and grew up in times of basic and pascal, before anyone even talked about C.

    So I never jumped of basic and used xojo and B4X to develop my software. I know its not C, Java, python or swift but my Software works perfect on PC or as an app on android.

    I don't think that your concerns will happen. As the fediverse could be easy replicated and it is no problem to run an own instance federating with whatever you want AND be part of the rest.

    My guess is that we will see more instances with different tastes if I may call it this.

    By using tools like kbin you are also free to assamble the fediverse you want without the need to follow a single instance only.

    Without revealing to much, what are your customers or is it pure research based?

    A second question, is the code generated vulnerable often because using certain programming languages that have "known" problems or are the problems coming mostly from bad coding habits?
