Hi Threadiverse! I'm making a set of Pixelart Icons for fedi/foss apps in c/pixelart
[–] 2 points 6 hours ago

Let's see, if you want of course, you do better RetroLemmy/RetroFed icons. I just threw them together quickly when I started hosting the platforms. So I'd love to see an actual artist try a crack at it.

    This guy has never been relevant in my home country in Europe. I'm pretty sure at least 99.5% of people here had never heard from him including me. It was still on national news the entire day, and the aftermath in the following week was on the news too. So yeah. Everyone can be a pretty apt description.

    "You Can't Rule Out The Possibility That Executives Are Idiots" - John Carmack On Microsoft's Gutting Of id Software in c/games@lemmy.world

    You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots, but that shouldn’t be your default belief. I don’t think there is any obvious path that would have doubled the revenue from Id games.

    Could they have gotten more with a different pricing strategy? Could they have created more things for fans to buy? Could they have cost-effectively marketed in a way that reached more players who would have loved and bought the games? Could they have changed the game designs and broadened the appeal to more players without alienating existing ones? Could they have produced the games at a lower cost, faster or cheaper? I really don’t know.

    The actual quote that means the actual opposite of the title.

    Help needed! 86Box (86box.net)

    cross-posted from: https://piefed.social/c/emulation@sh.itjust.works/p/2192640/help-needed-86box

    In case anyone is wonder why progress on the emulator appears slow or feature requests feel ignored, we are currently still understaffed and have, in addition to new bugs reported every day that have to be fixed, a backlog of items on our internal TODO list such as:

    • EISA;
    • Turbo Button for XT PCs;
    • Emulation of the ESS Solo-1;
    • PD (Phase-change Dual) and DVD-RAM support;
    • IBM Expanded Memory Adapter (XMA);
    • Passthrough of real CD/DVD drives to the emulator on macOS;
    • Support for cloneCD and TOC CD-ROM image files;
    • Mitsumi CD-ROM emulation (it would also allow eventual emulation of the Tandy VIS).

    In addition, we are currently in severe need of developers and/or maintainers for the following:

    • New dynamic recompiler;
    • macOS support;
    • Emulation of the NEC PC-98 family of computers;
    • A potential built-in non-GDBSTUB debugger to replace the current GDBSTUB implementation;
    • Our SDL backend;
    • The ImGui OSD;
    • The Qt UI.

    We would also appreciate anyone who could help the fixing of issues that get reported to our GitHub or in our Discord server.

    Retrofed updated to piefed 1.7.x (retrofed.com)
    submitted 3 weeks ago by [M] to c/meta@retrofed.com
    comment fedilink
     

    Hello!

    We have just updated to piefed 1.7.x. Piefed updates with regularity, and usually this is no need for a post as it usually has minor changes or fixes.

    Now is a different beast. See all changes here.

    Some cherry picked changes that I like:

    • You can follow other users and their posts will always show up in your ‘Subscribed’ feed, regardless of the community they were posted into. Following Mastodon users works also but should be considered as very experimental. This will improve soon.
    • Communities can be marked as being a favorite, which makes them more prominent in the ‘Communities’ menu.
    • RSS feeds on the home page, including a feed of posts from your subscribed communities

    But these are but a few. Read the post with all changes yourself if you want to know more

    If you have trouble logging in, clear your cookies. If it doesn’t show up, force a refresh (with ctrl+F5 on PC)

    The update went on without many problems, and only took a few minutes.

    If you have any problems or questions, send me a message or reply to this thread.

    It will never be the same in c/piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com

    Apps not working - Bug with update (retrofed.com)
    submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by [M] to c/meta@retrofed.com

    Hi. As you might have noticed, the site was unavailable through apps for a part of the day. If you browse through the web interface everything was working. Apparently this is a bug with the new update of piefed.

    The problem is connected with a private community, which we have on Retrofed (Bottest is only for testing my bot so I had it on private). Easiest solution before a bug fix is; temporarily making the community public, which I did.

    Hopefully there will be a fix soon. Sorry for the inconvenience.

    RetroFed - A new retro inspired piefed instance (retrofed.com)
    submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by to c/fediverse@piefed.social

    After hosting RetroLemmy.com for close to 3 years, we are proud to announce we now have also opened up a PieFed instance called Retrofed.

    This is not meant to replace RetroLemmy, but instead give retro-minded people a choice.

    Also, Retrofed is available and fully functional on http as well as https. Meaning old hardware should be able to connect and interact with retrofed if people so wish.

    Your home away from modern life.

    Welcome to the nostalgia-filled piefed instance of yesteryear.

    Open Registration with Application questionnaire.

    Welcome to Retrofed! - A quick guide to PieFed (retrofed.com)
    submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by [M] to c/meta@retrofed.com

    I want to welcome you all to the fediverse, piefed and retrofed specifically. If you need help starting out you can either try !newcomers@piefed.zip or you can comment here, post in this community or message me or @Die4Ever@retrofed.com directly. We are here to help.

    Some basic things:

    Usernames are usually written out as @DosDude@retrofed.com. The @ in front indicates a user. It looks like an e-mail adress by design, Because there can be users with the same name on different instances. For example: @DosDude@retrolemmy.com

    Communities are usually written out as !meta@retrofed.com . The exclamation point indicates a community. This also looks like an e-mail address because there can also be communities with the same name on different instances.

    Sometimes new communities will not load. This usually means that the community is not yet federated. You can either manually add it to lemmy-federate or you can subscribe. That way the community is federated and posts will show up. If you make a new community it is always good practice to add it to Lemmy federate. To make sure it's federated to all participating instances and maximize your user spread.

    This wiki from piefed.social can help out with further questions

    Some good resources for finding communities:

    https://lemmyverse.net/ - A website dedicated to finding new communities. Be sure to set your home instance using the domain name: for example: "retrofed.com". This is to make sure that if you click a community, it automatically links it through your instance.

    !newcommunities@lemmy.world - a community dedicated to promoting new communities.
    !newcommunities@discuss.online - same as above.
    !newcommunities@yiffit.net - same as above.

    Apps

    There are loads of apps for your phone on the stores. Many of them were refitted from reddit/lemmy apps to PieFed. Here's a wiki page on apps compatible with PieFed - via piefed.social

    We hope you have a good time here!
