Geeze, what an obvious sales pitch.

Try The Secret of Money Island instead, it’s much better than Loom. 😉
As an AI language model, I concur with this assessment.

It certainly doesn’t help that Lemmy had and still has absolutely no sensible way to actually surface niche communities to its subscribers. Unlike Reddit, it doesn’t weigh posts by their relative popularity within the community but only by total popularity/popularity within the instance. There’s also zero form of community grouping (like Reddit’s multireddits) - all of which effectively eliminates all niche communities from any sensible main view mode and floods those with shitty memes and even shittier politics only. This pretty much suffocated the initially enthusiastic niche tech communities I had subscribed to. They stood no chance to thrive and their untimely death was inevitable.
There are some very tepid attempts to remedy this in upcoming Lemmy builds, but I fear it’s too little too late.
I fear that Lemmy was simply nowhere near mature enough when it mattered and it has been slowly bleeding users and content ever since. I sincerely hope I’m wrong, though.
Boost is the reason I’m contributing to this community.
And as for “no FOMO”, that’s just straight up, uncomplicatedly untrue.
Most predatory in-game shops create FOMO by offering exclusive items for short time windows only. Or they offer massive, often personalized, timed discounts on overpriced items. Or they offer expensive purchases of previously timed exclusive in-game items.
I’d argue that it’s not impossible to run a “no FOMO” cosmetics shop, but it probably wouldn’t be very profitable. No idea how Inkbound’s shop worked, though - I never played the game.
The ball gag is for the “Ommms” not to bother the neighbors …
Same here. One of the biggest issues is that Lemmy is currently terrible at surfacing content from niche communities: no weighted activity, no “multi-reddit-syle” community grouping - pretty much any main view mode is dominated by a few large communities only. This makes the death of the small communities a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The next version of Lemmy is making some very tepid improvements in that regard, but it’s nowhere near enough.
A new
scaled
sort option has been added. This sort is identical to theHot
sort, but also takes into account the number of each community’s active monthly users, and so helps to boost posts from less active communities to the top.
This is such a vital change and should be the default. Lemmy is currently effectively suffocating and killing its small communities and stunting its own growth due to its complete inability to surface their content. No scaled sorting, no “community bundling” - this is an important step in the right direction but there’s likely a lot more work needed to solve this problem.
They used to be the biggest publisher on Stadia as well and they couldn’t have handled Stadia’s shutdown any better than they did:
Even though Stadia refunded all purchases, Ubisoft still granted each owner of their titles on Stadia the full, non-plus-ultra-deluxe PC version of each of those game on their launcher. Automatically, for free, and without talking much about it.
Unlike e.g. vitamin C, excess vitamin D isn’t really excreted. It’s stored long term and eventually causes hypercalcemia and kidney stones if persistently supplemented at high doses over a long time. OP’s dosage is above the “sensible if you never see the sun” range but not quite in the “dangerously excessive” range.
Dear Penthouse RawStory, …
Frankly, I want X to lose big time.
As someone with “founder” status in both services, Stadia’s user experience was far better. It also had the best latency with its direct connect controllers.
While GeForce Now made some steps towards mitigation and cooperation, with 2FA it’s often still a mess of tediously logging into PC launchers before finally being able to play. And because the hardware changes every time, this repeats before every session.
GFN’s library of compatible games is still stupidly limited, yet has all remaining competitors beat by a wide margin. And it has by far the most powerful hardware.
Both of those things probably make it the best streaming service right now, and outweigh the shortcomings. But “good” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
That’s weird, doesn’t it usually take seven?

Are you seriously suggesting running a Plex server on the Steam Deck in addition to the Plex media player? Because last I checked, the Plex media player can play (I think) but not index them. I’m a happy Plex user with lifetime Plex pass, but that’s just stupid.
Kodi is a solid standalone solution for exactly what OP is asking, with controller support. Kodi wouldn’t be my first choice for networked media playback, but it’s brilliant for exactly OP’s use case. And it really isn’t laggy unless you overload it with plugins.
Can you maybe clarify what you mean with “work”? What are you trying to achieve by significantly exceeding any supplemental recommendation that I’ve ever heard of?
Are you worried, that your Vitamin D3 levels are significantly too low, because you’re suffering e.g. from SAD, another mood- or an autoimmune disorder?
Talk to your doctor, get your levels checked, follow their advice and take the dose they recommend for the time they recommend!
Are you planning to relocate to a cave? Will you never see the sun again?
Talk to a medical professional about that plan, take whatever supplements they recommend for as long as they recommend them.
Are you living in a cold and dark country like Sweden? Then that country probably has safe guidelines you can follow. If you’re still worried or you are experiencing any symptoms that might be related to low Vitamin D3 levels, talk to a medical professional!
Why are you trying to exceed any recommended dosage by the factor of 10? Where did you get that number in the first place?
I believe that number is still low enough to not pose any immediate risk in the short or mid term. Your doctor might even agree that high supplementation is necessary to get your level up.
As a long term plan and without knowing your actual levels, it’s just stupid: At best it does nothing but waste your money on needless supplements. At worst it increases the risks that come with overdosing on Vitamin D3.
