Welp, I had no plans of buying Palworld. I've been playing Enshrouded instead. But I'll be picking it up now. Screw you Nintendo and your anticompetitive ways.

Might I recommend Magic Earth?

Organic maps is great, but the search is really finnicky.

Magic Earth has amazing UI, search, it can acts as a dashcam as you travel and that video can pinpoint your place on the map. I'm loving it.

15 years ago I got a job where I wasn't allowed to do anything. I hated it. I wanted to learn and be valuable and be valued. I left that job.

I worked for a bank and then Red Hat and I loved what I did and burned myself out trying to make them happy. Only to find out they still didn't value me.

I switched jobs two years ago and increased my pay 30% overnight and back to a job doing nothing. And I'm totally fine with it now. I have a family and I focus on them and during work, if they don't have anything for me to do I make my own happiness.

Fuck corporations. I'll take your money, I'll never again kill myself as I'll never be valued anyway. Jobs aren't worth it. People are.

Which TV has a (mostly) ad-free OS and works with a few regular apps? in c/[email protected]

Buy a good inexpensive TV. The manufacturer can make them cheap because they're losing money and hoping to gain it back with ads and analytics. Don't connect it to the internet. Get a Steam deck or small form factor PC (Intel NUC or variant) install Linux, profit.

I've bought a few small form factor PCs, and again Steam Deck works great, for $300 and then a great TV. And I don't have to put up with any ads, any crap applications that barely work, it's just browsing ANY website I want, playing ANY PC game I want. It's honestly the best outcome and I'll never go back at this point.

Don't let yourself accept the subpar TV applications that are just a website with awful frontends, that run like shit and that the companies creating these apps have 0 incentive to make properly because their app isn't there for a good experience. It's there to track you, just like the TV.

I'm weirdly on board with this and I think my kids will love it.

Others already suggested great answers, so I won't repeat them, but I let my kids play on pbskids.org . tons of fun and educational videos and games for kids if they're younger.

Odd Realm 1.0 it out today! Pixel graphic colony sim. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not the developer, but I can pass it on if you'd like. :-D The dev reads the Steam Forums and has a Discord as well. I think it should work with Steamdeck and the touch pads, but I'm guessing the menus are going to be SUPER small and probably quite difficult to see, though I haven't tested on my Steamdeck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

Absolutely! I bounced off Songs of Syx personally, but I've played DF, Rimworld, Oni, etc. I love the look of Odd Realm personally and I had quite a few hours in it, but then the entire UI was reworked, and it seems a bit daunting to get into. There isn't a tutorial atm, but the dev and myself have put up some video tutorials to get started. I think it's unique in the colony sim genre due to the graphics, music, but also the flexibility of the UI. It's not DF deep, but the UI allows you to REALLY dig in deep to automating things if you want, or just manually queue up stuff. I think it still has some rough edges, but for $15 at the moment it's got a lot to offer.

I'm planning on streaming some more Odd Realm 1.0 to my Owncast as well if you're interested. :-)

Have fun and best of luck!

YSK that you can run your own Twitch alternative with Owncast. (lemmy.world)

Owncast is a free and open source live video and web chat server for use with existing popular broadcasting software.

Basically it's Twitch, or any streaming platform such as YouTube Gaming or whatever it's called now, that you can run on your own hardware. Control your platform and your content where you make the rules as to what you can/can't do.

There's a growing community and you can find folks streaming all kinds of things in the directory:

https://directory.owncast.online/

I know some folks think it's not possible to run something like that as it'd require tons of PC resources, but I've run an Owncast Stream with 70+ active open connections to the server on a $8/month VPS.

The install can be as simple as a VPS that will spin up an Owncast instance for you, or as "difficult" as pulling the Owncast script and running it and it just automatically sets everything up. It's probably the easiest software installation I've done in a long time and I've been in IT for 15 years.

I also run the [email protected] community so if anyone has any questions please don't hesitate to poke me there or Matrix or come check out a stream, I'm usually hanging out on someone's stream somewhere. :-D Or don't hesitate to ping me on any one of the platforms in my bio.

You may be offered a free premium Telegram subscription – but please don’t accept (archive.is)
 

Telegram is giving away FREE Premium subscriptions! All they need from you is to use your cell phone as a relay to text out their OTP codes! And the recipient of the OTP sees your phone number! What could POSSIBLY go wrong with this deal?

PLEASE don't use Telegram! I personally recommend Matrix as it's totally FOSS, you can self host, there are tons of front end clients to choose from. Or even use Signal. I have my own issues with Signal, the fact they don't allow third party clients, you can't self-host, they have a proprietary shim in their stack that only they know what it does, they were pushing crypto, etc, but at least Signal is better than this garbage.

VLC - App stores were a mistake (archive.is)
 

VideoLAN @videolan App Stores were a mistake. Currently, we cannot update VLC on Windows Store, and we cannot update VLC on Android Play Store, without reducing security or dropping a lot of users... For now, iOS App Store still allows us to ship for iOS9, but until when?

I've never played Roblox or Fortnite so I have no reference there. But The Mirror, while still Alpha, was lots of fun to try out and works just fine on Linux out of the box for me on Debian using the Itch Flatpak.
