Fair. I don’t do audio stuff so I’ll take your word for it.

Agreed. A Virtual Machine is also an option. That’s how I got started, running fedora vms on my windows laptop ten+ years ago.

the announcement says its effective as of june 30th, so i’d bet a release of arena is due out today or tomorrow that will have the change.

You can also find all of his deck lists here: https://aetherhub.com/User/SwayzeMTG/Decks for easy perusal.

SwayzeMTG (https://youtube.com/@swayzemtg?si=wcoaC0Xga5EXp_Tn) is my current daily dose for interesting standard brews.

Also MTG_Creative_Combos (https://youtube.com/@mtg_creative_combos?si=2SlHou4u7lLfqjIB) and MTG Filipa (https://youtube.com/@mtgfilipa?si=rO6dDE-55me1rap9) are good channels.

Nixahon on YouTube put it like something like “even if I’m not into it for the IP or adverse to mixing in non-magic IP, I’m still going to have fun with the mechanics”. I’ve kind of used that as the touchstone for me to enjoy it.

Have not had a chance to play it yet (out of town), but that helped mollify some of my objections. Lots of the early access streams look like it will be a fun set mechanically so I’m looking forward to playing.

I’ve never seen anyone say it was cheating. more like haveling a pocket reference manual.

you can get the same info with quick alt-tabbing to 17lands really, it’s just convenient to have it as an overlay.

I liked them more for the collection tracking convenience myself. that became a lot harder once WoTC took the collection data out of the logs.

I saw the code for one tracker that basically injects some c++ or unity code or something into the memory where arena is running and gets the collection data that way. it does not seem to work in proton the same way though, at least not for me.

Two votes for Nizzahon (YouTube) and Lords of Limited (Podcast, YouTube).

https://www.17lands.com/ is your friend if you have not found that yet. If you’re on windows there are also various collection tracker/game overlays that can give you info about the cards in a pack while you’re in the draft.

I liked https://mtga.untapped.gg/companion and/or https://mtgaassistant.net/Download when I was on windows.

Sadly there are none that really work on linux at the moment. That I have been able to find anyway.

Biometrics are fine as a /username/ but should not be used as a password - heard that on some security podcast ages ago and have kept with it since.

So basically I don’t use biometrics, lol

For the federating its a new kind of AP actor. I’ll be putting in a FEP for it in the near future, but its basically a “Group” that only cares about the “Following” collection.

You can see example json for the AP interactions here: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/docs/activitypub_examples/feeds

The AP interactions for a Feed are:

• Send a Follow request for a Feed
• Accept a Follow request (this is automatic for public feeds)
• Reject a Follow request (this is automatic for private feeds)
• Announce an Add of a Community to a Feed
• Announce a Remove of a Community from a Feed
• Send a Delete of a Feed to subscribers

Shapeshifter, magic, immortal. Boom.

Hello from PieFed!

Dominaria/Brothers War is what was coming out the first time i got into magic. That was a fun time.

Now im back after a couple year break and am getting caught back up on all the happenings.

It seems like standard is a lot healthier now, there is a huge range of good and fun decks, so im happy about that. Im not sure how the universes beyond cards being legal in standard will fly. Im willing to give it a shot but spiderman next to Elspeth or Squee just feels… weird to me.

I’m trying to get into some of the other formats as well, to keep my interest longer this time.

Thanks!

Piefed instances now do have a form of this for instance admins to populate new instances.

Admins can:
-pull the lemmyverse data and subscribe to a bunch of communities at once
or
-target a single lemmy or mbin instance, get the list of communities that instance hosts, and subscribe to a bunch of communities on that instance.

Both have some tunable settings to allow admins control over how many communities are followed.

Its not an end-user thing, but it should help with setting up new instances and them not being so ‘empty’.

edit: typo

Yeah I’m just getting back into MTG after a couple year break. Getting caught up on all the fun deck tech is great for Xmas break.

Tablet for me is mostly comfortable media consumption. Especially when the wife and kid are sleeping or when traveling.

My primary use for smartwatch is media controls when running, so I don’t have to pull out my phone to play/pause/skip tracks etc.

I’ve also found that it’s handy to use for timers for cooking.

This code: https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/src/branch/main/app/api/alpha

Its mostly freamon and rimu working on that part. Iirc its meant to be lemmy api compatible, but i think there are some adaptations needed to accomadate the piefed way differences.

Freamon got a fork of a lemmy app to sort-of work back in september (https://matrix.to/#/!NVUzKiFppMtECaxHQm:matrix.org/$KJqJfus8DVy-B64AC8uWEQ9oiGsRA04AReRF-05nQYA?via=matrix.org&via=tchncs.de&via=jeena.net) so the alpha api stuff has been coming in since then.

no apps yet. work on an alpha API is in progress though, so soon™ hehe

not a fork, its its own code base built from scratch.
