ShittyKopper [they/them]

I’m boring and I shitpost and tech-post all over the place. Big fan of Ea-nāṣir.

  • I’m on Matrix and GoToSocial (both selfhosted).

    I also made an alt on kbin which is probably where I’ll probably end up migrating the “serious” discussion to, so this account will really end up as my shitposting account just like it did back at Reddit.

    I also have an account on Tildes under a different name and from a long time ago.

    All of these are different enough that I end up checking on all of them quite regularly.

    Oh and I have a Discord too but it just feels too overwhelming how fast most guilds (they’re not servers and I will die on this hill) move so I really use it to check for updates on shit like Sync’s Lemmy port instead of posting memes or whatever.

    And finally: YouTube & WhatsApp. both of which are unescapeable. I’ve tried.

    As for the ones I cut off: Facebook around 2015, Instagram since so long ago I forgot, got banned off Twitter several times, and I’m waiting until Reddit gives my GDPR export to bail from there as well.

    Edit: Oh, they processed my GDPR export. Brb off to delete my account






  • Also, repeating comments on the same post. Obviously you don’t have to read all the comments if there are already hundreds of them. But if there are too many comments saying the exact same thing it just gets harder to read them all. So it would be nice if people would look whether the point they want to make maybe has been made already. They can increase that comment’s visibility by upvoting. No need to make other people read the same content multiple times and by that make it harder to read different comments.

    This may be a little bit of an issue here as small instances (or frequently defederated instances) may not be aware of replies made on older comments. To see the whole reply chain of a comment you need to click the fediverse button (the rainbow star thingy on Lemmy web) and read the source. If people don’t do that they may legitimately not know that someone has replied with the exact thing they were about to reply with.













  • I started dual booting Linux back when Steam for Linux was reasonably new and Portal 2’s native port was on beta. Briefly went back to Windows after building a new, much powerful system for about a year, DXVK & later on Proton happened, and now all the games I care about work flawlessly.

    There have been games on my Steam library that I never ran on Windows despite them not officially supporting Linux.

    With the deck I seriously hope devs slowly but surely start thinking about native ports as well, but I won’t mind waiting another - uhh, 10?! - years for that to happen. I expect Steam Linux Runtime & Flatpak to be the DXVK & Proton of native ports - as in, the thing that will make them “viable” instead of “theoretically possible”. Win32 is still the most stable ABI on Linux after all.
