@TheEnbyWitch @glassbottommeg @browren @akien I should add that this MBP was upgraded with an SSD; I may have accidentally made it sound much worse than it actually is:)
@TheEnbyWitch @glassbottommeg @browren @akien I mean, it does make a difference! But only if you have a comparison or make measurements. I only noticed that I had Portal 2 installed on SD card because a mid-2012 MBP was finishing loading a bit sooner than Deck during co-op; loading times didn't bother me at all otherwise :D
@glassbottommeg @browren @akien Well, it absolutely is quite noticeably slower, but games in general aren't exactly I/O-heavy, so it most cases it just makes loading screens show up for longer.
@glassbottommeg @browren @akien Honest question - why would you think it wouldn't?
@mcc On a serious note, look up how it looked like in 2007 and you'll be surprised. In last years they have been increasingly rewriting more and more of their UI to HTML (which can be easily felt on weaker machines)
@jwz Posts by people who follow me - with an easy way to hide one's posts from there without affecting anything else.
@patterfloof @jwz You can do that already, e.g. https://mastodon.gamedev.place/public/local

It is. There are also services that let you outsource actual hosting, such as @mastohost
Want to work on Mastodon full time? Iโd like to pay a Rails dev for the next 3+ months to implement some auth improvements that matter to me but also just burn down bugs, make perf improvements, whatever is needed as this place grows. Remote 100% ok but need 3-4 hrs of Pacific time zone overlap, fair pay, meaningful work. #fedihire #ruby #rails #job
Whenever I stumble upon a signed comment in some code (like `/* this workaround is needed because of XYZ ~ dos */`), it feels like I'm doing some archeological digging in codebases from before version control was a thing (which, of course, turns out to not always be the case). The only thing missing for full immersion is a date next to the signature ๐
