Idea: Allow users to subscribe to threads they didn't make so they can get alerted of top-level replies in c/fedigrow@lemm.ee

I agree with you that Lemmy should have it (and seems like it will in v1.0), but the devs are more likely to see our feature requests if we submit them on Github instead of as random posts in different communities

and Github makes it easier to prevent duplicate submissions

Yeah, but they'd probably be better submitted as GitHub issues instead of posts here, or in this case searching for the already existing issue

Post on /r/RedditAlternatives painting Lemmy in a bad light, most of the comments counter that Lemmy is a better place than Reddit in c/fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

So many upvotes too, that's crazy

Back to Anachronox, Shogo Mobile Armor Division, and Battle Zone 98 Redux, for me.

Wow what a list of games lol. I loved Anachronox, that game is underrated

Another Redditor gives up on Lemmy due to signup issues in c/fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com

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

Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. in c/fediverse@lemmy.world

[–] Die4Ever@programming.dev 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

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

Nice.

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

Maru played every game as Protoss for this group. All these players are qualified for the main event, these matches are just for seeding purposes. It was a GSL-style group.

Announcing DirectX Raytracing 1.2, PIX, Neural Rendering and more at GDC 2025! - DirectX Developer Blog (devblogs.microsoft.com)

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 — up to 2x faster in some scenarios — 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

Cooperative Vectors & Neural Rendering: Next-Generation Realism

Neural Block Texture Compression is a new graphics technique that dramatically reduces memory usage, while maintaining exceptional visual fidelity. Overall, our partners at Intel shared that by leveraging cooperative vectors to power advanced neural compression models, they saw a 10x speed up in inference performance.

Real-time path tracing can be enhanced by neural supersampling and denoising, combining two of the most cutting-edge graphics innovations to provide realistic visuals at practical performance levels.

NVIDIA announced this recently
