Aesthetic taste is so individual and relative though. Can you mention a 2D visual novel game that you consider to have better art so we understand your perspective? I personally like the art style of Summertime Saga quite a bit, and is what originally attracted me to it. I much prefer this style over the vast majority of hentai, just as an example.

I see, thanks for explaining!

Why not the Windows native version on the Windows machines?

Not slowly though. The wheels are rapidly falling off as we speak.

Haha, great name, thanks for the link!

Yes, thank you for sharing! I think it looks good and should be useful to new users. I’ve bookmarked it.

As for adding anything, this may be too advanced and could detract from what you have written for beginners, but might work as a second article: tips for linking across instances. For example:

• To link to a community so that it opens the reader’s local copy on their own instance, use the !communityname@instancename.tld format.
• To find your local instance’s copy of a linked comment or post in order to interact with it (comment, upvote, downvote, report, etc), search the linked URL string in your own instance’s search to find it.

BonziBuddy, lol

From what I understand (and note that this is unsubstantiated, because we just simply don’t have the same size userbase/activity here), while lemmy is fairly good, piefed is supposedly even better.

Better in terms of lightness? I would be extremely surprised given the vast difference in performance and resource consumption of Python vs. Rust, and because apparently Piefed already has more features than Lemmy does. But maybe I misunderstood your point.

You definitely have a good point!

Ok, thanks! Kind of what I expected both in terms of not being able to compare exactly and Lemmy being light. I appreciate it.

Do you have any thoughts on how the two compare in terms of resource utilization (CPU / RAM) given a similar number of users and activity?

I’ve been curious about this, because Rust, the programming language used for Lemmy, is supposed to be a LOT more CPU/RAM efficient than Python, the language used for Piefed. Python, on the other hand, is supposed to be much faster to initially develop in, which would at least partly explain how Piefed gained so many features so quickly compared to Lemmy.

Cool to see a Linux smartphone, but holy moly, what a terrible name!

• Completely flat chiclet keyboards on laptops. It drives me absolutely insane because I can barely tell if my fingers are aligned with the keys. Thanks, Apple!
• Hidden controls on desktop software or desktop websites (ex: hidden exit, forward, and back controls on picture galleries)
• Hiding or collapsing scrollbars on desktop software

In general, it seems like there’s a major trend in design of form beating the heck out of function. It looks pretty! Who cares if you can actually use it or not?

I haven’t used Blender in a long time, but the graph in the OP says it’s Z-up?

Edit: never mind, I misunderstood what you wrote!

Good to know, thanks!

Ah, yes, I can understand that. I remember reading about all the issues that .world was having in the early days. Good to hear you like .zip though.

Interesting, thanks! I did not realize that.

What do you mean to edit your top posts to an archived version?

What do you mean? Don’t instances keep a local copy of images from other instances?

All good points.

Faster than .zip? Perhaps. But when I moved from lemmy.sdf.org to lemm.ee I went back to using SDF several times because .ee would have major slowdowns. Which is weird because of how hands off the SDF admins seem to be. Perhaps the performance has more to do with network location and resources allocated to the server?

Exactly. People will have different definitions of “good”.
