The problem is just when someone in the past said โyou should join
<forum x>
!โ, you were always able to just immediately go to forum xโs signup page and sign up. But if someone hears of Lemmy, and goes to join-lemmy.org, there is no way to go to a signup page directly.
People should probably stop saying "join Lemmy", and instead link directly to the site/instance they suggest
User should create an account on one server
Mostly this. Some people might want a few accounts but those would be hardcore users.
the password/cookie should still work even when awaiting validation, password is set before the email is sent
maybe I'm misreading what you're saying, but we already have this, works the same way as Reddit
the Summit app does it too
Lemmy should have some sort of recommendation alhorithm.
https://quiblr.com/ is a Lemmy frontend that does this
https://quiblr.com/understanding_your_private_personalized_feed
Will Lemmy can become easy like Bluesky? Are there plans like that?
I'm not a Lemmy dev (well I've made a couple of small commits lol), but this type of question can be hard to answer from the inside of a project.
It would probably be easier to answer a question more like: "Do you plan to implement feature XYZ in order to be easier to use like Bluesky?"
the apps! the app support is really great for Lemmy
I would be interested to see if the Reddit crowd is more receptive to Mbin or PieFed
On Reddit you see tons of people giving up due to signup issues, usually due to emails I think. Instance admins should really double check their process and make sure it's all working often.
And the app devs too, if you can signup through the app gotta make sure it works on instances with captchas/email verification/etc
it's such a good soundtrack! the in-game MIDIs are great too
BTW, more music...

The benefit to a forum is that posts with new comments move to the top. If a Reddit/Lemmy post gets a single new comment it may or may not be seen again by anyone except the OP or of the comment was a reply then to the op of the replied comment.
Lemmy does have this actually
New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums
https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html
and then there's the "Active" sort, which is kind of a compromise
Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time
Data suggests RTX 5090 prices are slowly stabilizing
Nice.
The average selling price on eBay has dropped to $4,000

Here is today's group:
It's a little bit not-obvious that the top comments are from [email protected] here
Maybe they should get a header just like all the other communities do for their sets of comments?
the comments from the other communities actually stand out more than the comments of the current community, due to the headers, without the header the comments just kinda blend in
I guess games like Monkey Island (1 to 3, and Return, the 3D ones would be harder) could work using the touch screen or touchpad working as a mouse
Dwaalicht (Wisp) - Sandsifted (2010?)
https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=LKQdh00AAPs&list=PLEsZgo3N97MgvmoZ6legRWZ8qc7nxpdWI
https://archive.org/details/Dwaalicht/Dwaalicht/Euphoria/Sandsifted.mp3
Archive.org says this was released 2015, but he played this song live in Manchester in 2010. According to this now-dead link https://web.archive.org/web/20101222022252/http://www.percussionlab.com/sets/wisp/live_at_the_music_box_manchester_01-04-2010
Here is that liveset: https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.percussionlab.com/audio/mp3s/1032/wisp_masterd.mp3
This song starts out at about 36min, I'd love to know what song starts at 31min
I like Kdenlive, but I never tried Blender. I think Kdenlive is the good middle-ground complexity for me, DaVinci was too overcomplicated for me just to make a couple of videos a year. I used to use VideoPad, which is ok, it renders faster than Kdenlive, but I think the editing process is less efficient, and it has other issues. In some ways Kdenlive is less stable (crashes more often), but it seems less likely to end up with a project file that becomes unworkable. Sometimes in VideoPad you'd end up with too much stuff and the editing process would become laggy or just cumbersome (limited channels and effects). Kdenlive is a bit more powerful without becoming more complicated.
It's a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

devblogs.microsoft.com Announcing DirectX Raytracing 1.2, PIX, Neural Rendering and more at GDC 2025!ย - DirectX Developer Blog
Today in the DirectX State of the Union at GDC 2025, we proudly showcased the next evolution in graphics with the announcement of DirectX Raytracing (DXR) 1.2. This update promises groundbreaking performance improvements and breathtaking visual fidelity, marking another milestone in our mission to d...
DirectX Raytracing 1.2: Game-Changing Performance Boosts
- Opacity micromaps significantly optimize alpha-tested geometry, delivering up to 2.3x performance improvement in path-traced games. By efficiently managing opacity data, OMM reduces shader invocations and greatly enhances rendering efficiency without compromising visual quality.
- Shader execution reordering offers a major leap forward in rendering performance โ up to 2x faster in some scenarios โ by intelligently grouping shader execution to enhance GPU efficiency, reduce divergence, and boost frame rates, making raytraced titles smoother and more immersive than ever. This feature paves the way for more path-traced games in the future.
NVIDIA was already doing these in a few games, but nice to have them as part of the standard

The DOS Floppy and CD versions are supported. The engine also supports a number of localised versions Spanish, French, German, Korean and Chinese.
The floppy version currently lacks sound effects but all other features from the original game should be present.
The engine also has the option of using the "arguably" better floppy music with the CD version if you have both.
To participate in the testing, ensure you have a daily development build. As always, please submit the bug reports to our issue tracker.
