Ergonomics, NFC support and gyro. Of course the rumble could be stronger but I have gotten used to it.

• 8bitdo SN30 Pro
• GameCube controller
• Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
• Super Famicom controller (mainly the face button colors and layout)

That in general sense is linked to how logic works with conspiracy theorists and similar whackos: they have already decided the conclusion, every bit of information is interpreted as evidence.

For me the way has been using gyro aiming. It provides a mouse-like precision for aiming, which is really good for FPS games. It is supported on Steam nowadays. Of course on Steam Deck it may be not the best option in terms of playing experience, as turning the console also turns the screen.

Non-American colors, they are my favorite.

If I were to buy a Steam Deck or similar console, I’d buy a SNES-themed button set for it.

Thank you, beautifully said! When federation between Lemmy instances was finally implemented and people started forming their own instances, I decided to take part in that despite not having extensive system administration experience. I also wanted to experiment. Now I have thought that my intention for Sopuli is to be an alternative to the shitty corporate social media platforms you described – and looks like this has taken off very well in the last few years. Good to hear that I am doing something inspiring and beneficial.

That’s our defence minister Antti Häkkänen, who is here participating remotely in a Nato-Ukraine council meeting with other defence ministers.

Not a minor bug, I just decided to put random things as taglines for the instance, such as that one quote from some Lemmygrad user. Just for fun.

As the instance’s owner and admin, there was a server migration that lasted for a day and nearly 8 hours. And yes, !meta@sopuli.xyz and my Mastodon are good places to check out regarding Sopuli’s status.

I can’t pin my own replies, but I can mark them with “speaking as an admin”.

This makes a good feature request to make at Lemmy’s GitHub: add a feature for pinning messages in a thread.

There’s a Patreon page?

Sopuli’s registrar is Hostinger, I don’t think there is a threat of a similar problem.

If Microsoft stuck with what it already does, it would be better. They already have cloud streaming technology which makes playing games on their ecosystem possible on any screen. Having a separate handheld console would complicate things. I just don’t see the appeal.

Anti-science has gained too much traction in recent years, I doubt USA will survive if H5N1 starts spreading from human to human.

Hello! Whether a bot is allowed on Sopuli depends on the bot’s purpose on a case-by-case basis. A spammy and annoying bot is a no-no, same for a bot cross-posting from Reddit. Otherwise I say yes.
