Wait, what? A user posts a thing to a server, and that thing isn’t then duplicated to 50 other servers … yeah, I don’t see how that can work.

(I’m just kidding - your site looks neat.)

(sorry to intrude). This has had a few cross-posts on Lemmy - this one technically wasn’t, but it seems Lemmy has picked up on it. If you want some ALT text, and to reply to author of this image, the link that goes to !tails@lemmon.website provides that.

Yeah it was pretty nifty in lots of ways. Loads of emulators, of course, and doing stuff like compiling apps directly on the device itself was neat.

Frustrating in lots of other ways too, though. I don’t think the Pyra ever really got off the ground, unfortunately.

This was always an impressive emulator - it was originally made for the Open Pandora (an ARM-based mini-computer not much bigger than a DS). It’s always been free for that - it’s just, you know, you’d have to own an Open Pandora (I do!)

Or perhaps:

Replayed Uncharted 4 for the millionth time. Now on The Lost Legacy. Not enjoying it as much (it’s harder, for one thing). Interesting to see the developments that would go into The Last of Us 2 though (e.g. experiments with more open-world levels, and the attempt to redeem a character that’s previously been portrayed as a villain).

I think it’s difficult to know where we really are in the release cycle for this console, as it’s been disrupted so much by initial unavailability and COVID. Normally, we’d be due a Pro version this year, but it could be this year, it could be next year, it could be never.

Last generation I was happy with a standard PS4 until I played Control, and could see that it was struggling. I’m not sure there’s any PS5 games that are known to stress the hardware, and would do anything with the extra resources.

I’d buy one now if I were you. Worse case scenario: you’ll want to trade it in for an upgrade in a year or two.

Use the pi or whatever little computer that’s presumably hosting the pi-hole software to also be a DHCP server (and turn off the DHCP server on ISP’s router). It can then advertise itself as the DNS server.

Markdown format:

[what the link says it is](where the link goes)

Normally, you’d do [awesome YouTube link](https://youtube.com/) but there’s nothing stopping anyone doing [https://lemmy.com](https://youtube.com)

I haven’t yet got a PS5 but I’ll likely buy the upgrade from the website, for the sake of a tenner.

Interesting that they’re advertising it now how they probably should have done initially (as a game with 2 protagonists).

Don’t worry. I’m not in a position to ban anyone from anything. Sorry if it seemed otherwise - I was just warning a fellow user not to be too casual about lemmy.world’s rules. As the community I linked to demonstrated, we can be on other instances, posting to communities on other instances, but if we’re banned by LW, no-one on what’s easily the biggest instance will see what we’re saying.

As for the ‘access all content’ line, it should probably be ‘you can access all content [that your admins allow you access]’.

It all works by every instance copying in communities that their users are interested in, and then every instance merging the results. I commented here, but I never left my server on endlesstalk.org - I commented on endlesstalk.org/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world. Similarly, you commented on lemmings.world/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world and now we’re both seeing the merged result.
This means that, when an instance is copying something, it’s free to leave out anything it doesn’t like (e.g. stuff from a banned user).
You’ll need to copy/paste this URL to see the difference: https://lemmy.world/c/sciencefiction@lemmy.ml is what LW users see of that community - there’s a lot less there than what everyone else sees at !sciencefiction@lemmy.ml (which, for you, is lemmings.world/c/sciencefiction@lemmy.ml of course)

You could be banned yes, because it would be https://lemmy.world/u/Kolanaki@yiffit.net that would be kicked. To see the effect of this, compare !sciencefiction@lemmy.ml with lemmy.world’s version of it - https://lemmy.world/c/sciencefiction@lemmy.ml - (all the posts by banned user IzzyData@lemmy.ml are missing)

New home: !trendingcommunities@endlesstalk.org

Will probably post to both for a while, until we have some kind of resolution.

You’re showing up as a bot, btw. Anyone with a blanket ban on bots won’t see your comments, so it’s maybe an idea to change it in your settings.

Blatantly.

Not the person you asked, but I think the post they mean is this one

The Ukraine stuff is at the bottom. It says the statement is from their ‘news crew’ - if this means the mods of their News community, then they’re not the same people as the admins, but it is an admin quoting them, I suppose.

(I’ve no agenda either way)

Well, personally I use IRC to steal media, but I realise that’s not why you’re asking.

I suppose the reason people might use it for chat is that it’s been around a long time, so there’s clients (with endless plugins) that do exactly what people want, and it’s all simple, text-based often unencrypted stuff, so it’s easy to write bots for (that might notify you of something, for example)

Woah, meta-drama is the best drama.

Maybe this’ll slow down all the ‘how do I block an instance?’ posts I keep seeing (although realistically, not).

A snippet I found interesting:

among all users that have been banned on lemm.ee for bigotry, the majority were actually not users from other instances, and in fact people with lemm.ee accounts. If we judge any larger instance only by bigoted posts that some of its users make, then we might as well declare all instances as cesspools and close down Lemmy completely

It’s interesting that all the replies (so far) are to you, rather than OP, because the behaviour of Lemmy is more interesting than just answering ‘No’ about their original query. So you could nuke everything in this post if your wanted to.

The ‘obvious trade-off’ part doesn’t acknowledge how much of social media engagement is driven by the urge to correct someone. So I think it’s something to be mindful of: if you say something wrong, and someone corrects you, then your choices should be: leave it be; strikethrough your text; or edit it to literally say “[removed]”, which are all better options than deleting it.

To give an example - from when I commented on an eerie Terrible Real Estate Photo with a oddly-placed chair in it:

The replies to me - that it’s an optical illusion, and that the sockets are part of building regs, have value on their own, and shouldn’t disappear just because I might get embarrassed by my comment.

I think the creators of Korean dramas are aware of the issue - the last one I watched was The Glory, which seemed to go out of its way to make its characters visually distinctive.

For me, I have to stop myself blanking it when I hear a name from unfamiliar language, and instead of thinking “Well I’ll never remember that”, force myself to take note, that’s she’s “Lee Sa-ra” and he’s “Jeon Jae-joon”, etc. I find it useful to pause the screen once in a while, to actually make sure I know who’s who, and what their motivations are.
