I think I will, thanks! I’ve also just posted a small list of Kbin userscripts that I like to spread awareness and added yours as well :)

There is so much news like this coming from France lately. What is going on over there?

I do this as well and sometimes I switch federation off/on. But I would love to have a way to influence how much a magazine/community pops up in my feed though: by giving a “weight” to a magazine/community that could be accounted for in the ranking algorithm, you would be able to prioritize them. If you like a specific magazine you could give it more weight, which could rank all the posts from that community higher on your feed.

But let’s say that I don’t want all news clogging up my feed. However, when there is something very big going on that gets a lot of upvotes, I still want to read it as it might be something important or more interesting than the average post from that magazine. In that case I would subscribe to the magazine and give it less weight, so only the highest ranked threads show up.

I think @ernest is already way to busy right now though, but I wanted to share my idea anyway :)

Damn, what a great guy. He doesn’t just make it easy to request a refund that he needs to pay from his own pocket. He actually made it opt-out. I’ve always used RiF on Android, never used Apollo. But Christian earned a lot of my respect in the last few weeks. Fuck Reddit and fuck how they screwed the people that helped them build the platform into what it is today.

It’s been five fucking years since they released the teaser trailer for Elder Scrolls VI.

I really don’t understand why publishers do this. At best, you can’t give a representative image of the game 10 years in advance and people loose interest over time (Anybody that cared about Duke Nukem Forever?). The whole project might change drastically, maybe even multiple times.
At worst, both fans and shareholders get whiny about the releasedate and demand it to be released ASAP. Resulting in releases similar to that of Cyberpunk 2077. Why not announce the game when it is actually (almost) done?

You’re welcome! And I agree, a ligtweight Open Source front end would be amazing! I know there is a CLI version of Steam (SteamCMD), but I’m not sure how much of the regular Steam functionality is built into that

JSYK for if you want extra performance: Steam also has a hidden “mini mode”, which you can run by adding this as a launchoption to a steam shortcut (or in a terminal) steam://open/minigameslist.

Additionally, you can add the -no-browser launch option to completely disable the built-in webbrowser.

I can’t find any official documentation about these options, but they are certainly there!
