Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.

They were good before (and please correct me if I’ve got this wrong) EB bought them and did a “reverse takeover”. Since that point they’ve been going downhill.

Shame there isn’t an ActivityPub/Fediverse option…

I was going to mention this! I don’t think it meets the criteria completely, but it is quite Souls-like in many aspects.

There’s also Linen.

Is there a unified scanner (the hardware) driver like what we have for printers?

I’m building a sw that should be able to read the papers read from a scanner and process them with a minimal user interaction, basically I don’t want the user to jump into another sw, output an image or doc, and insert that into my sw, this kind of problem seems to be fixed when it comes to printers printing, but I...

Yes, you can now use AirScan (also called something else I don’t recall currently) for “driverless” scanning.

i_am_not_a_robot,
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

No, it’s a cross platform standard. You can even run a server on Linux interfacing with SANE to convert older scanners.

I looked up the non-Apple name and it’s eSCL. That’s a lot easier to search for.

To save reading the paywalled article, the site is at stract.com

I’ve only done a single search but it gave me a summary at the top, and some discussion forums in a different format. I’m impressed so far!

Tbh I just saw it needed a login and scrolled back up to the link without reading further, so was obviously a bit hasty in my assessment of it being a paywall.

Apologies. This is a new series from the guy behind the Digitiser teletext gaming magazine. It’s very much in the style of the magazine, and contains segments about retro games alongside other nonsense. If you know and liked Digitiser them you’ll probably enjoy the humour in this.

Hotel Indigo bathroom art by Mike Maynard (cdnb.artstation.com)

A series of pictures I made to decorate the bathrooms in Hotel Indigo Dundee. The hotel’s decoration is heavily influenced by Dundee’s history, and I was asked to create something that incorporated Lemmings, a video game franchise that originated in the city....

I don’t always, but when I do it’s mostly to do with character customisation. If I’m playing a game where my character is constantly visible I’d rather it was something I wanted to look at, and male clothing is boring. OK, some games don’t restrict clothes but many do. So I tend to create a character which is a female version of me, except in the cases where I prefer a male character (which isn’t often if I have the choice!)

Dave the Diver Is Getting a Free Update Crossover with Dredge | Game Awards 2023 (za.ign.com)

Dave the Diver is getting a free update that will bring the creepy creatures of Dredge onto its menu. It will introduce a new “fog” weather event that will contain the Dredge content, the ability to drive Dave’s boat around like you do in Dredge, a new night map, the ability to catch aberrations, a new weapon, and new...

I use f2fs on my Raspberry Pis, it’s designed for flash storage and appears to have much better performance than ext4 on the same device. I’m not sure whether it’s suitable for SSDs, or just SD cards and USB (these devices are optimised for FAT and f2fs utilises that optimisation). When I tried to use f2fs on a proper laptop it was too early and the distro didn’t support booting from it. I assume that has changed now.

As for the others, I usually stick with ext4 as I’ve never seen a compelling reason not to.

For me it was the second screen of Airwolf on the ZX Spectrum.

It was invite only, not open registration, so not surprising they didn’t have many users. Although Bluesky is the same and that seems to have loads. Hmm.

I had an account but literally used it for five seconds and then largely forgot about it.

3D Monster Maze on the ZX81.

Maybe not very Halloween-y but definitely scary!

Finally got around to trying this (maybe it has been improved since but I’m using the old download). It runs a lot faster than the original which isn’t necessarily a good thing. The mouse support is nice, but you can’t move down to the skills to just click on them - have to use the keyboard still. The music is fab, I believe it is taken from the ST version (which would make sense as they use the same soundchip).
