Desktop CPU is overheating during games again. Figure I’ll reapply the paste & add the spare case fan to the side.

Might upgrade the cpu fan too. Maybe one of the ones that aims sideways toward the back of the case.

Went to look up the socket type & discovered that the cpu model is 10 years old :blob_dizzy_face:

I’m sure there are newer CPUs that are both faster *and* more efficient. Might be better than replacing the heatsink. But a lot more involved.

Next Steps for ClassicPress

Over the last few days it has become crystal clear that the community feels that the Directors of the ClassicPress Initiative are now hindering the progress of the ClassicPress Project.

Freedom?

Some of the ridiculous things going on in the name of “freedom” make more sense when I consider that to some people, the only freedom they care about is the freedom to forcibly reject people who aren’t in their ingroup, and to some people, the only freedom they care about is how much money they get to keep, and some people have found it very effective to cater to these two groups.

Speaking of Portal 2, have i mentioned how impressed I am with the design on the multiplayer co-op levels? Every one of them actually requires 2 players working together. And it’s much better than trying to play a 1-player level with 2 players

I seem to remember reading that during play testing, if anyone found a 1-player solution it was filed as a bug

Picking up on this again briefly:

None of these complaints is inherent to the structure or functionality of Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc. They’re deliberate UI design choices to optimize for the company’s targets. A third party client could bypass it all (which of course is why they don’t allow those).

Similarly, Mastodon and Pixelfed and so on *could* implement UI like this, but they don’t. The project goals aren’t engagement at all costs. And each instance can have its own goals.

Someone could add an ATTENTION-GRABBING EXPERIENCE on top of the Mastodon or Pixelfed code.

And those of us connecting with different software wouldn’t be affected.

Or they could write an app that adds it! Though I’m not sure many people would consider that an improved experience.

Then again, people do use Yahoo mail. 🤷‍♂️

IMO there are two sensible ways to handle granular push #notification preferences:

1. Use the system’s per-app settings for all of it. (Tusky does this, even putting your per-account preferences in the system UI)
2. Use the app’s settings for all of it, and let the system just be an on/off toggle for what you’ve chosen in the app (like it was before the system had UI for it)

And while I’m griping about Instagram, why the heck are the detailed notification preferences split between the app and the system notification UI?

That’s terrible design.

Well, if it’s intended for usability, anyway.

If your goal is to make people see more notifications, though… 🙄
