Coming to Game Pass: Neon White, Flock, Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2, and More in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

Excited about Neon White and Case of the Golden Idol. Although I still have to begin Chants of Sennaar as well. Seems some of the best (indie) games of the last years are coming to Game Pass, which is of course great.

[Request] Fork an open source version of Connect (suggestions and discussion welcomed) in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago

I remember the developer mentioned something about this once, and I had to scroll way to far back to find it: https://lemmy.ca/comment/1264956

I can totally understand being somewhat insecure about your code, or have the feeling that you need to do this/this/that before you can publish it online. And indeed dealing with an issue tracker, pull request that people expect you to review, forks of your code being published elsewhere, finding and trusting other developers to commit directly to your project can feel stressful. Disabling issues and pull request on GitHub could resolve some of these issues.

Connect is a fantastic app, and still my favourite lemmy client. I hope it will continue to work en be great for a long time. And most importantly that the developers still has fun working on the project.

Avatars and community images not loading on some instances (0.19.4+) (lemm.ee)
submitted 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
0 comments fedilink

When using my home instance, lemm.ee, the user avatars and community images of all communities and users of other instances are not loading. Instead they show a infinity spinning icon.

Since the release of lemmy 0.19.4 images can be loaded via the new image proxy. Connect seems to append format=webp&thumbnail=64 to an image URL. However, when this is added to a proxy image URL, it it not working. These query parameters are only working for /pictrs images.

Example of url that fails: https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png?format=webp&thumbnail=64

Edit: as far as I can see in the json API, the icon/avatar url is delivered without the query parameters, and Connect is adding them. For users/communities on my home instance the url is always with /pictrs, so after adding the query parameters it still works. But for users/communities on another instance the url is with /image_proxy and then adding the query parameters leads to an error.

Missed a bit of variation in the games. I felt alot of it was 3D with guns and generic video game graphics. Would have been nice to have to have a platformer, or some titles with distinct art styles.

Issues with external avatars and metadata images in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Thanks for the reply. Regarding the avatars in Connect, I see that it tries to load https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png?format=webp&thumbnail=64 , which indeed leads to a 404 error. The problem is in the additional query parameters added to the URL. Without them the image does load. It's not just a URL encode issue, as the fully URL-encoded https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Flemmy.world%2Fpictrs%2Fimage%2Fc6d6b005-8790-4d12-a11e-ef2cba2cb397.png%3Fformat%3Dwebp%26thumbnail%3D64 also gives the same error. So it might just be a bug Lemmy itself.

Issues with external avatars and metadata images (lemm.ee)
submitted 1 month ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
2 comments fedilink

I've observed two issues with certain type of images on lemm.ee.

The first issue relates to external avatars, both user and community. In the Android app Connect they are no longer loading and just show a spinner. Only the avatars of users and communities on lemm.ee itself are loading. It doesn't occur on web. And when using my lemmy.world account in Connect, all external avatars do load correctly. I think this started after the upgrade to 0.19.4.

The second issue is with metadata image, the og:image a page declares. This isn't always shown on lemm.ee. As an example a post I made with my lemm.ee account on a lemmy.world community.

https://lemm.ee/post/31969605 - Next to the title it just shows a generic external link icon.

https://lemmy.world/post/15406863 - Same post but now via lemmy.world shows the image that the target webpage defined as its og:image correctly.

Interested in playing The Quarry. Let's see if this is fun to do as a couch co-op.

It's a great game, from a great developer. So you shouldn't regret anything.

App freeze and no content when scrolling through list of posts (lemm.ee)

I updated to the latest beta, 1.0.175, bit this seems to have a major bug. When scrolling down in a lost of posts, after maybe 20 posts there is no more content. When this happens the app completely freezes and o have to force-quit. And when scrolling really fast through the list of posts, the whole screen turns grey and the all also freezes.

Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 11 points 4 months ago

Is this a long term source of revenue for Reddit? Or will it loose value at some point, simply because LLMs are all trained sufficiently on user generated content. Is there more to learn at some point?

Also it seems that a lot of content on Resdit is already AI generated, so it would train on data from other LLMs, which I'm sure doesn't improve quality.

What’s the right way to do e-readers in this year of our lord 2024 in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Get a device that is supported by KOReader and install that. I use an old Kindle Paperwhite 2, and with KOReader it's great. I use Calibre for library management (on a laptop) and it supports a wireless connection directly to Calibre. Or if you prefer to have your library on a NAS device (or sync it) you can set up an ODPS feed to directly browse and download from your NAS.

Microsoft’s New Xbox Indie Selects Promo Rekindles Memories of Xbox Live Arcade (www.ign.com)

Rekindling memories of the Xbox 360’s famous Xbox Live Arcade, Xbox Indie Selects features a monthly, curated collection of six indie games in the Xbox Store, dashboard, and on Xbox social channels. Microsoft added that it will not include indie games already in Game Pass, “even if they’re fantastic”, because Game Pass games are already featured in the Game Pass hub.

Coming to Xbox Game Pass: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla, Resident Evil 2, Hell Let Loose, and More in c/[email protected]

I used to be a big fan of Assassin's Creed games, both the old style and the two new RPG styles. But not sure if I'm down for a 100 hours game.

I think having Game Pass expanded the style of games I play quite a bit, and I now enjoy short games a lot more.

Apps that shouldn't be Subscriptions in c/[email protected]
[-] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

I agree that a lot of subscriptions are really overpriced, but updates to an app are also a sort-of service. Pixelmator explained it quite well when their app switched to a subscription model, mentioning some fair (I think) pros and cons of the succession model, both from the perspective of users and developers.
