I do...mostly. I hit Q and P with my ring fingers instead of pinkies. For AZ;/ and shift and enter I do use my pinky fingers always, except (as I've just noticed) when I'm typing a capital A or Z. I seem to almost always hit the left shift instead of the right, so I end up using my left ring finger to hit the A or Z in that case.

Hadn't heard of this company before; I'm quite interested in getting their (non-trackpad) mouse to replace my Logitech G502 Hero that's dying. Does anyone know any other companies making open-source (or at least DIY-friendly) mice to compare?

I've run into bizarre behavior with windows command lines plenty of times before, but I'd never put all the pieces together and realized that:

a) windows really does pass around unadorned monolithic strings containing the entire command line of an executed command, and

b) there's no parsing standard for command lines in windows

sigh, windows

I see we've hit the first E: Embrace. I'm betting it'll only be a few months until they're Extending the protocol. Any wagers on how long until we hit Extinguish? 3 years maybe?

Need someone who knows more about EU law to chime in here: does this mean valve et al will be forced to implement a way for users to resell/transfer games to other users?

From wikipedia:

China Daily is an English-language daily newspaper owned by the Central Propaganda Department of the Chinese Communist Party.

Ah good, a trustworthy source.

Those are rookie numbers; gotta pump those numbers up.

Do we know anything about genre/gameplay beyond "open-world"?

This is actually quite strange to me - that lemmy doesn't use permalinks by default. When viewing from a non-source instance, there's a link button between the comment count and the save button that takes you to the post on the source instance, but that seems inadequate. I guess the post on the origin instance is its own permalink, but I don't like that it's not distinct in some way.

At this point, me run out of alternatives worth trying. Just signed up for a lemmy instance today, and liking what I'm seeing so far (even if communities are quite a lot smaller than I'm used to at the moment), but there are other sites that might scratch the reddit itch that I'll try even if the fediverse stuff doesn't take off. Reddit has shown that that they're a) greedy, and b) incompetent at being greedy. And I'm not going to contribute to them again until I'm well and truly out of other options.
