people like to make a fuss and get attention on social media, it's something to talk about, entertainment

Eh you still can, the git remote is a mirror but you can still make commits locally and sync later

you can also have multiple git remotes/mirrors

I'm surprised this still isn't enabled by default

This is not limited to just Lemmy but any federated systems.

Not just federated systems, things like the Wayback Machine exist too, web crawlers, people can save websites too (every web browser has a save option), or you can self host an archiving crawler if you want to backup a certain website, data hoarders exist.

For example, last I heard, an administrator has to drop into a command line to delete media from removed posts, otherwise they’d still be accessible if the URL was known. (Think illegal material.)

that's not true anymore, there's a dashboard built into the website now

I was so confused when I heard about lemmy-ui-leptos, it really sounds like a waste of time to me 🤷‍♂️

I'm sure everyone has a different opinion, but I think the most important new feature should be the plugin system. It seems like the only way to scale up the number of contributors and support a variety of languages.

Cylobian Sunday! This playlist is Previously Unavailable On Compact Disc (1998), but this track is from Kinesthesia Volume 1 (1993)

https://www.discogs.com/release/990-Kinesthesia-Kinesthesia-Volume-1

I used the original longer version "Triachus (Aphex Twin Mix)" instead of the version from 26 Mixes For Cash, unfortunately the audio quality is a little lower here.

Normally "Previously Unavailable On Compact Disc" ends with "Durftal" as track 13, but I added more tracks from the source releases that weren't part of the CD release for the sake of completeness. These tracks are pretty rough though lol. I used Discogs for the info:

Compilation of tracks previously released on following only-vinyl records:

Tracks: 1/9/10/11 taken from Kinesthesia Empathy Box (Remixes)[CAT 022].

Tracks: 2/7/8 taken from Kinesthesia Volume 2 [CAT 014].

Tracks: 3/5/6 taken from Kinesthesia Volume 1 [CAT 011].

Tracks: 4/13 taken from Cylob Industrial Folk Songs [CAT 015].

Track: 12 taken from Mururoa Project [STOP 1 T].

All tracks written and produced between 1993 and 1995.

https://www.discogs.com/release/13964-Cylob-Previously-Unavailable-On-Compact-Disc

And since it includes tracks from Empathy Box (Remixes), it seems relevant to also mention the original Empathy Box release

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tT-OycUpo74&list=PLZBQ5U70ekuHjclewtPaI7an1fsbyQ8DX&index=1

I actually haven't listened to the whole thing yet, but maybe I'll post one of these tracks for next week's Cylobian Sunday.

 

Happy 20th anniversary to Doom 3! Everyone remembers this game for the tech (programmable shaders, render-to-texture'd normal maps, realtime stencil shadows), but this was also a great horror game! And the story was written by Matthew Costello, who also wrote the stories for The 7th Guest and The 11th Hour!

(IMO the BFG edition makes the game worse by removing the tension of using the flashlight, the levels were designed for the original flashlight switching mechanic. Use a source port like dhewm3 for playing on modern computers.)


Wikipeda Synopsis

Doom 3 is a 2004 survival horror first-person shooter video game developed by id Software and published by Activision. Doom 3 was originally released for Microsoft Windows on August 3, 2004, adapted for Linux later that year, and ported by Aspyr Media for Mac OS X in 2005. Developer Vicarious Visions ported the game to the Xbox, releasing it worldwide on April 4, 2005.

Doom 3 is set on Mars in 2145, where a military-industrial conglomerate has set up a scientific research facility into fields such as teleportation, biological research, and advanced weapons design. The teleportation experiments open a gateway to Hell, resulting in a catastrophic invasion of the Mars base by demons. The player controls a space marine who fights through the base to stop the demons attacking Mars and reaching Earth.

Doom 3 is the first reboot of the Doom series, ignoring the events of the previous games. Doom 3 utilizes the id Tech 4 game engine, which has since been licensed out to other developers, and later released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later in November 2011.

Doom 3 was a critical and commercial success; with more than 3.5 million copies of the game sold, it was the most successful game by developer id Software up to that date. Critics praised the game's graphics, presentation, and atmosphere, although reviewers were divided by how close the gameplay was to that of the original Doom, focusing primarily on simply fighting through large numbers of enemy characters. The game was followed by Resurrection of Evil, an expansion pack developed by Nerve Software, in April 2005. A series of novelizations of Doom 3, written by Matthew J. Costello, debuted in February 2008. An expanded and remastered edition titled Doom 3: BFG Edition was released in the fourth quarter of 2012. It has been ported to various platforms, including some which enable portable and virtual reality gameplay.

Excerpt from a well-known TV show hosted and created by Stewart Cheifet featuring George "The Fat Man" Sanger, the same year he was composing for Putt-Putt Saves The Zoo. It discusses one of his biggest contributions to game audio, "Fat Labs" certification, and Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon makes an appearance.

Correction: This year was Quake's twenty-EIGHTH birthday, not twenty-sixth. I'm getting old...

Quake speedruns are so amazing, I can't believe this game isn't in every single speedrun marathon ever.

I'm not sure why this album was on Analogical Force instead of Planet Mu but it's good

another Cylobian Sunday! I've also had the song "Cum To Me Baby" stuck in my head for a while lol, but I think the first track of the EP is the favorite by most people. If you like this style of Cylob also check out his release "Lobster Tracks" from the same year, I'll have to post one of those songs on some other Cylobian Sunday.

This song was also featured on 2003's Rephlexions compilation https://www.discogs.com/master/12211-Various-Rephlexions-An-Album-Of-Braindance
