Unfortunately that setting seems to be broken in Jerboa, at least for me. I have it set to Subscribed but the app still opens in local view every time. Website works correctly, though.

WINE Is Not an Emulator 😉
Seriously, that's what the acronym means, because it's not an emulator, it's a compatibility layer.
There's also Proton for Steam games, or even non-steam games, though it's a little more complicated to set up in the later case.
Oblivion's excellent with mods, though I'm unfamiliar with modding Bethesda games on Linux.
That anyone ever acted like that is so insane to me, it doesn't even feel like it happened on the same planet. Among my middle/high school circle of friends through the 00's, not a single one of us would have ever given shit to anyone, male or female, for playing video games. To us, every new gamer we met was a potential new friend who spoke our favorite language. Then we graduate, go out into the world, look around on the internet, and hear stories that there exist complete fuckwads on this green earth trying to keep girls out of gaming?? Like... what??
You're on the Beehaw instance, like me, so you would be able to interact with that specific federated community at https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected].
If it helps you mentally decode the meaning of that URL, the community (the /c/ part of the URL) is named stallmanwasright, it's hosted on lemmy.ml, and you interact with it through beehaw.org, which is where your account is that lets you subscribe, comment, etc.
You can decode the other URL /u/[email protected] gave you the same way. The community they sent is named kbinmeta, is hosted on kbin.social, and accessed through beehaw.org. Once you understand how it works, it's pretty simple.
A web browser, yes, but you should be able to use your sopuli.xyz account just fine. For example, to get to the Jerboa community we're having this discussion in, you would go to the URL https://sopuli.xyz/c/[email protected] in your web browser. What that does is basically tell sopuli.xyz to show you the community named "jerboa" hosted on the domain (instance) named lemmy.ml. Without the @lemmy.ml, it would look for /c/jerboa on sopuli.xyz, and get a 404 because it isn't hosted there.
If you're signed in to sopuli.xyz on that web browser, you can subscribe to the community from there, and then you would be able to get to it from within Jerboa. My account is with beehaw.org, so if I wanted to do the same, I would go to https://beehaw.org/c/[email protected]. It's a bit weird, but not that complicated, and it will quickly seem normal once you get used to it.
All that said, one thing I've noticed is if a community from a different instance than the one you're using has 0 posts, it will 404 if you try to go to it from your own instance, and it also won't show up in a search within Jerboa. For example, [email protected] has 0 posts as of this writing, and will 404 if I try to view it from Beehaw or sopuli; it only shows up if I view it directly at lemmy.ml/c/animanga, which doesn't help much since I don't have an account with lemmy.ml.
There had to have been people in marketing that knew this would happen and were overruled by bean-counting executives. The top card of each generation outdoes the top of the previous gen, but for a couple of generations it's been increasing in price in almost lock-step with the performance increase. Often the newer card will have worse VRAM than the previous generation's equal-performing card because you're looking at an older top-spec card vs a newer midrange, and the midrange cards always have less VRAM. With AAA games now starting to really want more VRAM in order to have better visuals, the older cards wind up actually being the better option long-term.
There are a few videos from Machine Thinking that focus on the early or past days of industrial technology, particularly things such as precision, screws, lathes, etc. I can recommend these in particular:
- Origins of Precision
- The 1751 Machine that Made Everything (the lathe)
- America's Iron Giants - The World's Most Powerful Metalworkers
- Where DO screws come from? (part 1 of a, so far, 3-part series on screws)
Another thing to look at would be infographics, especially from Animagraffs by Jacob O'Neil. They've got a few gems that cover some of what you're asking about, such as pistons:
For something a little closer to a full-blown free course or series, there's this Basics of Mechanical Engineering playlist put together by John Bedford Solomon, but it doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason as to the order, so skip around a bit, or look more specifically at any of the channels it selects videos from.
Lastly, the top videos from US Auto Industry on YouTube (sort by popular) are some old but phenomenal educational content on some of the basics of cars, with videos about differential steering, transmission, suspension, and hydraulics.
Happy learning!
I also had no idea, since mods for prior games had basically nothing, but wow, the Nexus page has a lot.
Bioware needs to focus on DA and ME
I'll just wait here for them to show ME3 co-op any respect at all...
