tochee, to selfhosted in OpenSubtitles Hostility

The support person even said they don’t see any queries in the logs, you’d think that would be a clue to send the logs including queries.

tochee, to gaming in As a long time Armored Core fan, I am disappointed with Armored Core VI.

(never played an AC game before) The lesson I took from the tutorial boss is that you should use the right weapon for the job, i.e. the build matters a lot. I wasn’t getting anywhere with anything but the sword.

tochee, to technology in Google says AI systems should be able to mine publishers’ work unless companies opt out, turning copyright law on its head

Common sense would surely say that becoming a for-profit company or whatever they did would mean they’ve breached that law. I assume they figured out a way around it or I’ve misunderstood something though.

tochee, to books in What app do you use to read ebooks?

I use Moon+ Reader. It’s not open source but it’s so snappy; page changes are instant and scrolling is flawless. It connects to my calibre server too. Android only I think.

tochee, to gaming in What type of game do you want to play that doesn't really exist?

There are roleplay servers for modded RDR2 online (RedM) where you can actually do this. I just started playing on one with some mates and it’s a player driven economy, so if people need wood they either have to chop it themselves or someone has to do it for them. I haven’t tried it personally but you start with an axe and there seem to be areas where you can chop wood. I just like wandering about picking flowers and saying yeehaw to people.

tochee, to foss in What are some tiny, lightweight apps for Linux that are really neat?

tealdeer takes up 3.7MB on my system. It’s a rust implementation of tldr - simplified man pages with practical examples. If I want to do some common thing with a program I don’t use very often, chances are I can type (e.g.) tldr kill and it’ll tell me what I need to know.

tochee, to gaming in Dwarf Fortress adds experimental multithreading support

Super excited about this as the game runs like shit on my laptop and there’s a long running issue of fortresses becoming unplayable at high populations. Anyone tried it out?

tochee, to gaming in Roguelike recommendations?

Man I’m sad we don’t have an /r/roguelikes here. Discussion of the genre has been clobbered by the much more popular roguelites and it was nice to have a forum focused on traditional roguelikes. There’s a discord but it’s not the same.

Some lesser known ones that I think are quite cool:

Shadow of the Wyrm, open world fantasy with a nice vibe.

Dawn of the Mexica, quite brutal lethal combat with an uncommon setting.

Forays into Norrendrin, traditional dungeon crawler setting with distilled gameplay systems. Brogue-adjacent.

The Ground Gives Way, also a traditional dungeon crawler but with a really interesting fatigue-based equipment system and non lethal combat options. Cool item effects and stuff.

Lost Flame, if dark souls was a roguelike. Quite involved combat where attacks are telegraphed and you can dodge them, use abilities for movement etc. Great atmosphere.

tochee, to technology in EU: Smartphones Must Have User-Replaceable Batteries by 2027

From what I understand, iPhones will downclock themselves when the battery degrades to make a charge last longer and prevent crashes. So your slow phones might have been fixable with a new battery.
