I never cared that much about it, but it is a shame that another alternative is going down.

I’ve been thinking about buying one of these for a while but finally bit the bullet now that companies have started raising prices due to the RAM/chip shortage…

And it turned out to be the best purchase I’ve made in a while! It’s a ton of fun gaming on this little thing. I flashed a custom operating system on it and am now playing Castlevania & Secrets of Mana with RetroAchievements support (which adds achievements and progress tracking to retro games).

I’m also playing a lot of random PICO-8 games since it runs on the device and I can easily browse and play free games on it. Low-key wish I had bought it sooner with how neat it is.

Anybody else have a retro handheld here?

Not my project, but this was recently released and I thought it was really cool. It's only 5KB when compressed and feels a bit simpler/more automatic than HTMX.

Also natively handles prefetching on hovering links, has transitions, and comes with a loading bar.

This is really good if you're wondering what a publishing company's contract might look like. They published it to give gamedevs an idea of what they should expect.

They're also celebrating funding 24 different games! I wonder when those will start coming out.

Hopefully we can get 4.6 by the end of the month!

I'm currently working on a file converter app that lets you easily convert your files in bulk without needing to mess around with 500 settings or confusing command-line apps. It's mostly a replacement for all those "convert X to Y" websites.

This is just a front-end for ffmpeg and imagemagick, but the goal is to make something so simple even my parents could use without uploading sensitive files to shady websites on the internet. I've looked around, and I found all the local GUI converters like Handbrake are unwieldy to use, especially if you just want to convert in bulk.

The project is still very early, but I'd like some feedback:

1. Does anyone think this project is worth finishing, or are there too many GUI file converters out there already?

2. What do you think about the UI so far?

Cheers.

Biggest WTF news I've read today. I'm not a web dev so this doesn't affect me, but this is bizarre.

We get a closer first look at what's around the corner for AI coding tools, and make Bun better for it

This incredibly popular tool is now going to merge with an AI company and shift gears to be turned into some forced AI hype machine. Yipee! Exactly what all the devs were hoping for! /s

Google: "Based on this feedback and our ongoing conversations with the community, we are building a new advanced flow that allows experienced users to accept the risks of installing software that isn't verified. We are designing this flow specifically to resist coercion, ensuring that users aren't tricked into bypassing these safety checks while under pressure from a scammer. It will also include clear warnings to ensure users fully understand the risks involved, but ultimately, it puts the choice in their hands."

Thank god. I would've ditched Android for good if this went through, and while it sounds like it would be annoying for casual users to enable unverified apps, at least we can still install them.

I haven't see any discussion for this show on Lemmy so I thought I'd be the first!

Pluribus is the new show from Vince Gilligan, creator of Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul. The marketing on this show was so vague that it was intended to be watched completely blind, with nobody knowing what it was even about.

TL;DW: Fast charging over 2 years only degraded the battery an extra 0.5%, even on extremely fast charging Android phones using 120W.

And with that, hopefully we can put this argument to rest.

Hey folks, I just finished writing a guide for setting up NTFS drives for Linux gaming. There's been some misinformation and questions on whether it's feasible, but if you set it up right you should be fine.

Hopefully this can help others avoid the pain I've gone through to make it work without issues!

Richer HTML exports are very exciting to me. I don't know if it'll be viable but if I ever self-host my own blog, I'd be interested in using Typst instead of Markdown.
