As a guy who has a lot of experience with old emulated Nintendo games and things like that, I keep a bunch of ROMs on a cloud storage service for backup. But all those files add up and eat storage space. For a service like this, do you just have the installers themselves stored for easy installing/uninstalling? How big are those files, for storage purposes? I have a lot of PC games, but, you know, I don’t like paying for all of them. Are you able to have tons of “alternative” Steam games or does storage space run out quick?

Anybody on this thread on iOS, check out Vinegar. It’s a Safari extension for YouTube that converts the YT media player to a generic iOS one, removing ads and allowing PiP and other stuff. Best 2-ish bucks I’ve ever spent.

I’m a pilot, certified flight instructor. Not professionally techy, but like techy stuff as a nerdy pastime. Lemmy’s honestly not that complicated, you just need to be willing to put up with the bugs and growing pains. I’m enjoying the ride so far!

Been trying to use Ice Cubes due to it being free and open-source, but I feel like it’s just way too slow to load up new posts, making using Mastodon feel like a chore. Anybody else experience this? Is paying for Ivory worth it as an alternative?

I’ve seen a lot of people say that kbin is better but I’ve really gravitated toward Lemmy. What makes it better to you?

What I find when I follow tags is that my feed is now totally flooded with hundreds of new toots every time I log in - how do you deal with this? It’s way too much for me to ever go through and get anything meaningful out of it.
