Do you have a way to see active players? I started up 1.6 in steam a week ago and tried to find servers with active players.
More players are playing this version than there are on steam.

Re:Will Spotify Ruin Podcasting? on Monday February 10, 2020 @01:23PM (#22291731)
I've been paying for Spotify for 5 years, but I now only use it strictly for music. I find their UI for podcasts to be unintuitive and confusing, hoping they can update it soon.

Exciting! I've been a rails developer for the past 5 years, hoping to hold onto it for as long as possible!

Why Ryzen? Mobile intel processors are better x1000

How would this perform as a linux desktop? I'm thinking about grabbing one for my Mom, who doesn't have a computer at home.

Re:How IBM’s ThinkPad Became a Design Icon (2017) on Monday October 22, 2018 @10:30AM (#18274933)
I've been using a t440p as my daily for a year now. Nothing but love for it, I've upgraded the screen, ram, and trackpad. My next upgrade is the CPU to a quad core and this thing will still have a few more years left in it.
Any idea when the mega65 is going to be released?

This. I was pretty curious what a code school for fortnite players was, and I still have no idea.
Re:Why You Should Build a Hackintosh on Tuesday August 07, 2018 @02:08PM (#17708997)
I feel like the post didn't really give me any reasons why I should build a Hackintosh. Also, I wish they went more into their Hackintosh build and not what they want from a mac.

Made the switch to a thinkpad running linux last November and couldn't be happier.

Re:Ask HN: How did you transition from Mac to Linux? on Tuesday June 05, 2018 @01:07PM (#17239721)
It's recommended to stop using yaourt, it's not safe! I use yay, it's pretty awesome. Check here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_helpers

Not sure if I want to switch to Android.
Re:Ask HN: How did you transition from Mac to Linux? on Tuesday June 05, 2018 @11:55AM (#17238875)
I made the switch after my Macbook Pro was stolen and I needed something quickly to get back to work. The transition from osx to ubuntu was pretty easy after changing my shortcuts to mimic the ones I was used to in osx. I've been using linux daily on my work machine for 7 months now, and i'm actually a little obsessed with it. I transitioned from Ubuntu to Arch and am using KDE as my desktop environment. Everything can be customized and it's great, I don't think i'll be returning to osx ever again.

I do miss the integration with my iphone though. I used the messages and notes app a lot in osx, so it's kinda annoying to not have that anymore.

Also, i'm using a Thinkpad. Would recommend.

*EDIT I now pretty much use the trackpoint 100% of the time, and don't miss the trackpad gestures at all.

I lost my dongle two weeks ago, haven't bothered to buy a new one yet. My bus rides have been silent. :(
