I’ve never heard of this game, but I’ve enjoyed every telltale game I’ve played. I wishlisted it and will be looking for steam deck performance reviews.

Even as an avid Apple user, it just comes off as either sheer incompetence or disingenuousness to hear Apple wax such poetic over compromised security from alternative store fronts when macOS is just sitting there, having been doing it fine for generations.

I’m almost expecting Apple to deliberately self-sabotage iOS in the EU somehow just to make a point.

I can see why your friend would assume you could hack their phone based on how specific these steps are.

FFVIII was the first mainline FF game I played after exposing myself to the franchise with Tactics. I was new to turn based systems, so I never picked up on the criticism. I was blown away by the presentation, fantasy and adventure of it all. The gunblade was about the coolest thing a kid of my age could have been exposed to at that time as well. Right now I’m big into VII for obvious reasons, but I really want to replay VIII.

I’ve had this wishlisted on my steam deck for a while now. I didn’t even know it was coming to PlayStation until it was mentioned in the DF video.

Which is…?

Edit: eh nvm. I have no idea what you’re on about, and clearly neither do you. Go ahead and keep stereotyping people if it makes you happy.

What’s an Incel?

Not until you explain yourself. What’s up with the attitude?

Yeah, I was that way with many things as a teen. I still get that way as an adult. I don’t like cooking because I’m intimidated by the effort, and I often tell people I don’t cook well. It’s a fixed mindset. However, I have a student from Poland. She took a family pieroski recipe from her grandmother, translated it into English, and gave it to me because it’s her favorite dish, and she thought I should try it.

Obviously, I had to do it while my wife took pictures. And you know what? They turned out pretty good! In fact, I’d like to do it again, and I think next time I can do them even better.

I think the biggest challenge to fostering a growth mindset is overcoming reluctancy to just try. As a teacher, it’s something I try to listen for from my students.

Oh wow. Jumping straight to the ad hominems, are we? I usually only get that from people who really want to be right and don’t know how.

As the parent of a 13-year-old, that wouldn’t work either. They’d just pout and tell you that you think they can’t do anything right.

What you described just now is known in teaching circles as a “fixed mindset”. A person decides they can’t do a thing because that’s just how things are. No two people are the same, but you might be able to foster more of a “growth mindset” by continuing that conversation…

“No, don’t sell yourself short. This is just something you’re not good at yet. Come on, let’s see how we can do this better together. It’ll only take a minute.”

You’re absolutely right. In the case of an adult, I’d just take more of a stance of, “look at this crazy thing that happened! lol! Omg I wonder what went wrong” and try to elicit her awareness that way. Then teach through soft suggestion, “maybe we shouldn’t XYZ, huh. Crazy.”

 

I jump between kbin and Lemmy fairly often, and it just seems like most content/communities end up settling on Lemmy. Which kbin communities do you actually think are better than the alternatives?

Hope you're all having a good weekend.

I've just been giving it the old college try to see if I can get a proper workflow going with it.

I teach, so I often have a lot of apps open for research/reference, lesson planning/preparation, as well as messaging services and other various apps.

I keep Apple Numbers full-screened in a space to the left, where I maintain a Grade/Schedule/Planner "book". I have Affinity Publisher 2 full-screened to the right, where I make prints/handouts for my classes.

On my desktop in the center, the stages (app sets) I keep are dedicated to...

  • a single instance of Safari for lesson research (and procrastinating on Kbin)
  • all my chat applications (iMessage, WhatsApp, etc)
  • multiple finder windows to find, manage, and organize materials and resources I require to prepare new lessons every week.
  • both my email client (spark) and calendar (FirstSeed).
  • occasionally Spotify, if I need some music to help me focus.

If I didn't have stage manager, I would have been using a similar setup across around 2-3 desktop spaces and some full-screened apps. My "home" desktop in the middle, with reference-based stretching apps leftward, production-based apps stretching rightward, and my entertainment-based apps out on the fringes. This worked really well for me in the past, but stage manager has actually made things smoother for me, since I'm doing a lot less swiping around. (Yes, Mission Control was ideal for reaching more fringier desktop spaces, but when you're in the habit of just quickly swiping between 1-3 key desktops, it gets easy to forget how "far away" some of the other desktops are.)

Currently, my two biggest wishes for Stage Manager are...

  1. that we could save stage presets so I could launch mine quickly with a Siri shortcut, and save a LOT of organization time after a restart.
  2. that there were more comprehensive keyboard shortcuts specifically for navigating stages rather than individual apps. (There might be, but I haven't found a clear guide anywhere since most publications are more interested in the fact that Stage Manager exists than how to make it useful.)
  3. a greater number of stages, with the ability to scroll through them and pin favorites to the top.

(I'm still on Ventura, so if these features were added in the betas, I wouldn't know.)


Question:
Has anyone else been discovering ways in which Stage Manager on Mac as worked out for them?

 

Microblogs are an interesting thing. I was never able to get into Twitter or Mastodon because it feels so disorganized and chaotic to me. That said, I think microblog compatibility is low key one of Kbin’s best features with a lot of potential. The problem is that right now it seems like kbin doesn’t really know what to do with it.

This is where I wonder if a dedicated Kbin app like Artemis could really carry it further. Has there been any discussion on this yet? How would you imagine microblogs being better implemented with Artemis?

 

I know they came out the same day but it’s hard to see a reference to one without the other.

 

Downloaded the .dmg file for latest Mac build (installer/jellyfin_10.8.10.dmg) from the website and installed it.

Launching the app doesn't do anything. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Are M1 Macs not supported? Thanks for any help.

(I browsed the forum but couldn't find any Mac discussion. I tried a search for "Mac", but the term is too short to allow search for some reason.)
