"Cryptofash", "fashy" 🤔

Feels like bastardizations of already bastardized words, and I wonder if they're using it to try to sound impactful while not saying much.

If you must get something from Steam, I'd get something with great time by price ratio, like Terraria, Starbound and Stardew Valley. Or also JRPGs like Final Fantasy XII.

But from your picks, Elden Ring is the one I'd go for, mostly because it's the one that picks my attention the most.

Otherwise, maybe you'd want to follow giveaway communities and alert profiles, e.g. here on the fediverse?

Unsure if PieFed is the same, but double space in my instance adds a simple line break, while double enter adds a blank line between paragraphs. And in both cases, they need to be added manually. Maybe it's a similar situation on PieFed instances?

Old-ish post, but would rather buy an offline software instead (which I do). No ties to the company past the transaction, and some of the ones I have are older than me and still work just as fine.

Also for installation, it's pretty much the same, you plug the boot device, enter BIOS, select it to load first, exit and follow the instruction on the screen.

Hardware seems powerful enough that Ubuntu will run fine.

On software side, if you must use a Windows program, Wine usually solves it. If it doesn't, Virtualbox does. If it doesn't, some times you can find per-case solutions. If you can't, we'd be working with extremely edge cases that maybe you could solve by swapping the SSD for one with Windows installed or getting a cheap second hand computer just for that.

I'd need to read through their docs to sift how they do their alleged decentralization. But if those sites work as portals where you create an account and use through there, then I don't think they'd be much different from ActivityPub.

Now, if there's a way for you to have a site-less instance (IP, hash or signature-based, maybe?), then I could see how it becomes more decentralized. Or if they'd do, from what I could understand, as PieFed, where you can apparently change ownership of communities across instances, which despite not being as decentralized as the previous proposal as I understand, it would still be more than it usually is in ActivityPub.

Hadn't thought about the priority of information which needs to be reserved in mind either. 😯

Sounds possible, if not the issue, at least as an aggravation of it.

(Also a note, Portuguese is my mother language "<.< )

Don't think there are any for this purpose. But maybe you can wrap something up. For example, if one such service like Strava has RSS, you could set a bot to share. Furthermore, iirc the user can set his Friendica account to make automated posts while still being a personal account.

Also, maybe also look if a tracking service has integration to an ActivityPub-compatible platform, or even to platforms that can be bridged to ActivityPub. For example Wordpress (seem pretty powerful from what I've seen) and Bluesky (can be bridged to ActivityPub through Bridgy Fed, Friendica, Wafrn and maybe some other service I'm forgetting).

In this idea of nested bridging and RSS, if a tracking app lets you post to Twitter, you could make an RSS reader bot or a Friendica account to read the feed a Nitter instance would provide for your Twitter account.

And in this idea of nested bridging, alternatively and if all steps are possible, to find an app that lets you share to Facebook or Instagram, then share the post to Threads while it has ActivityPub integration active. Not sure if it's indeed viable as I don't use either of the 3.

Also maybe Misskey or PieFed could help? Apparently both have pretty powerful CSS-based user extension capabilities.

And not an immediate solution, but to keep fomenting the idea of having an ActivityPub alternative for that? Or even getting someone to make it, though people don't usually seem to like to make software for one person if they're not being paid and they don't see a bigger advantage to making the software.

From what I remember back when EGS started appearing in the headlines, its main intention was to replace Steam. Besides barely delivering anything relevant other than freebies, and I could argue what people would want/expect after being fed so many "treats", but something born only to destroy is fated to destroy itself. Perhaps due to being stores from other times, but even places like GOG and Itchio understood engagement is important (even if execution is not always pristine).

Surprised it took so long.

If your podcasts have an RSS feed, you can set a bot to share them. Apparently you can configure that natively on Friendica for thread-based posts, and on Mastodon you can ping @birb@rss-parrot.net with the feed link for it to create a bot account for that feed.

Ah, sorry. Misread. Was thinking about KOReader.

Not familiar with Boox but Kobo on a normal-sized screen is miserable. Too much information, tablet-designed, making misclicks far more likely, besides the visual noise/pollution.
