Yep, with the desktop versions of Signal, Matrix (Element) and Steam chat.

I'm yet to try out gamemode, which may help. But I typically close Signal and Element when I'm gaming, so it's usually not an issue for me.

Edit: I'm on EndeavourOS, KDE, i7, 16GB, Nvidia 2060.

You appear not to have heard of Google Glass.

Not sure about the top and bottom ones, but I'm pretty sure those @a.gup.pe ones are Mastodon "groups". They're a reflector that you tag into a post to have it shared to its followers across all instances, rather than just your local instance (as with hashtags).

They're a workaround for one of the limitations in Mastodon, but they work. I expect they'd appear empty if viewed in Lemmy.

I run this in a Docker container on my home network without connecting it to their cloud platform (despite their - increasingly strident, it feels - "encouragements" to do so). It's very powerful, and the majority of low level configuration is done via text files. But 99% of it is automatic.

The UI is unique. It's a single, long and scrollable page, which may be an issue for some.

There are other tools out there, too. I previously used one that integrates Grafana, Prometheus and Node Exporter, which is more complex to set up and configure.

Hadn't seen that before. Love it. 😄

This seems a reach. Podcasting (MP3 files distributed by an RSS feed) is platform agnostic.

To me, claiming that any platform is "killing" any demographic's podcasting capability is screaming "I know absolutely nothing about podcasts".

YMMV. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Finally. I've been using .arpa ones for years.

It's a net positive, not a negative: using ESDF means you have a bunch of keys available to the left of your movement keys.

Sure, it can be a pain if a game forces WASD, but otherwise you're not the person having to lift your hand off the movement keys (or buying an MMO mouse) to have the same flexibility. 😄

I think it's the usual "it hasn't impacted me personally, so how bad can it be" maintaining the status quo at all costs.

Once something happens that they care about, they'll be on the Fediverse that day crowing loudly about how awful Xitter has suddenly become...

Parts of the Internet now only searchable on specific sites now? What next - charging a monthly subscription to use Google?

This needs to be regulated before the Internet becomes like streaming TV.

Had no idea about this. Very useful, thanks!

I second this, as it's my use case.

Providing you lay out each note correctly with appropriate frontmatter, Dataview's DQL and DataviewJS give you all the SQL-like functionality you could want.

Plus a load of useful functionality beyond a plain DB.
