@killyourfm @himmelssohn I suppose the Send feature is the more expensive part of the equation. It’s also something I have no use for, but I can see how it can add value for many.

@killyourfm It may be nice, but at that price you are extremely close to a full package with web hosting and email. Maybe it makes sense for email power users, but I’m kinda scratching my head over here (and I’m actually looking around for something like this at the moment).

@fanta I should really check on my Sam440 to see if it’s still working. I’ve just been dreading the updates.

@fanta +Amidon :)

@killyourfm That mouse mat looks very useful :D

@killyourfm Definitely looking forward to hearing what you come up with.

@killyourfm It HAS been 2AM for a while now! 👍

Fun bit of shopping tonight. Getting a system ready to deliver some quality background audio at work. Ordered a Pi 5 with a tall case, a Hi-Fi DAC, the active cooler and so on. Looking forward to putting it all together with the new speakers coming in from Thomann.

I’m about to finally get my act together and move my little-used Google Workspace account elsewhere. Is there anyone who would recommend something other than Protonmail for mail? I have file storage covered and don’t need calendars. I want to use a custom domain and a way to use IMAP clients is just about a must. #askfedi

I just opened the #Xbox app on my tablet and was stopped by a full-screen notification about CoPilot for gaming being in there. I'm sure that will divert attention from how leadership completely bungled the last couple of generations and current slow strangulation of the platform.

I just realized today that if I wanted to play Mass Effect Legendary Edition I could either play on Game Pass or buy it. Game Pass is now so expensive that I could almost buy two copies of the game. OK, so where do I buy the game? Xbox? It's not Play Anywhere, so I would need to buy it twice to play on PC as well as Xbox (including potential future handhelds). It kind of seems like the PC copy is the better deal for future-proofing. The next Xbox should run that, current handhelds do (the Xbox Rog Ally will NOT run the Xbox version), Steam Deck does... so despite the efforts with backwards compatibility on Xbox, Microsoft has made it so unattractive to buy games for their platform that I'll probably just buy it on Steam (where someone is delivering a handheld-console-vr combo very soon that will run the game more flexibly than Xbox, because the Xcloud is still worthless).

@killyourfm @fedora Yeah, I just installed Bazzite a few days ago and that part still felt rough – even though I've been through it a few times already.

@killyourfm @fedora The partitioning section is a MASSIVE improvement.

@cwebber It's weird, because I've heard lots of people say that, but I've never been able to reproduce it myself. Just really lame slop.

@killyourfm Yeah, please don’t get Alexander Supertramp’ed out there :/

@nowherefast @killyourfm MD not taking off is a regional view. They were absolutely everywhere in Japan. So much so that you can get them for next to nothing.

@killyourfm My MD is ready!

@killyourfm Yeah, add that and I'm out. I don't know *anyone* who would say "yeah, that's what I want!". I know plenty who will nope out, though. OOT indeed.

Look, if you don't want me as a visitor on your site, you can just put up a 404 and save us both some time.

@killyourfm There’s a bartop arcade edition called Alpha with optional Sanwa parts too, now.

@killyourfm Have you had a look at Evercade? I really enjoy it as a way of getting plug and play physical versions of games from a variety of platforms - both new and old titles.
