Would you be willing to explain what a typed dictionary is and when it would be useful in the context of Godot?

Do you prefer RTS or Turn based tactics in c/games@lemmy.world

For those that want an RTS game that doesn't require a high APM, I'd recommend Supreme Commander Forged Alliance (FAF) and the Sins of a Solar Empire Games (which requires an even lower APM).

Proton launches privacy-focused Google Docs alternative: Docs in Proton Drive is an open-source, end-to-end encrypted collaborative document editor in c/technology@lemmy.world

I know there are different use cases for each, but generally do people prefer self hosted nextcloud, proton docs, or libre office?

Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] gccalvin@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

No, development is still stalled. You need to pay if you want the really high bit rate flac downloads. I pay and can use Deezer as a backup to Jellyfin in the event there's a song I don't have and I'm driving. I was looking at music fab, but it's expensive, the Spotify downloader has worse quality, and doesn't grab the cover art, which is probably a deal breaker for me.

Are they on Deezer? If so, look into deemix-gui.

Does Anyone Host a Discord Alternative? Like a Matrix/Synapse Server? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] gccalvin@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They released an update yesterday for TS3, allowing connection to TS5 servers I think, and breaking the Soundboard lol. TS5 is in closed-beta, right? I would think release would be within a year, but I'm not sure. Also, last I checked, I was reading mixed results on the platform, but I haven't been able to use it myself.

Does Anyone Host a Discord Alternative? Like a Matrix/Synapse Server? (lemmy.world)
 

As r/selfhosted seems to have shutdown due to the reddit api changes (rip), I wanted to see if anyone has worked with these services before?

How do they compare to Discord and how hard is it to maintain, as the setup looks pretty in depth for matrix and synapse. How did you convince your user base to use it over Discord.

I've hosted TS3 for about 8 years and are looking for alternatives, as we have to use Discord for screen sharing.

Thanks!
