Calckey rebrands to Firefish by Cyzor in c/technology@beehaw.org

All these federated services suffer from similar well-publicized problems, but Calckey appears to offer one of the nicer user interface schemes so far. Though unrelated, maybe the rebrand can help build mindshare for Firefox.

I never had a Sega Saturn, but I have a fondness its service as a last hurrah of sprite-based gaming systems. Newly uncovered sales and marketing communications from the era show a kind of disinheriting acknowledgement of its impending demise.

I have already sent this to the sales people with a real positive note. I asked each of them to keep letting their account know about the trend in third party support. I told each of them to find a way to get us close to equal in sell through by June/July, so that going into our power months we can be in position to take over.

This kind of news is what the accounts need to hear. Your reports on store visits has also been sent to the salespeople. Every bit of positive news, no matter how small is going to them.

Is buying a PS3 worth it in 2023? by Cyzor in c/gaming@beehaw.org

[-] Cyzor@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

From an architectural design standpoint, the PS3 is kind of fascinating. It's impressive how good many of its games still look today.

Rodrigo Copetti:

As you can imagine, while the multi-core design of Cell accelerates emerging techniques such as procedural generation, none of these designs are particularly simple to implement, especially considering game studios prefer codebases that can be shared across different platforms. […]

It appears that even with a supercomputer chip, Sony still had to fetch a GPU to finalise the PlayStation 3. This makes you wonder if IBM/Sony/Toshiba hit a wall while trying to scale Cell further, so Sony had no option but to get help from a graphics company.

Is there a way to sign into multiple Fediverse instances using the same account? Or is it possible to merge account across instances? by Cyzor in c/RedditMigration@kbin.social

[-] Cyzor@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

The pitch for federalization gives the misleading impression that the system provides a universal (or at least portable) account mechanism. It seems to be a common point of uncertainty with users taking a look at the emerging platform.

From a usability standpoint, the sign-in process ought to be able to tell when someone is trying to join from a non-local instance, and provide means to redirect or authenticate them appropriately. Maybe something in the style of "Sign in with Google," only simpler.

I think upcoming versions of Lemmy/Kbin are attempting to improve link behavior to make it less likely to unintentionally stray from your home instance.
