Honestly, I just make sure my default view is “Subscribed”. I can go to ‘All’ if I need to, but it definitely helps.

(Mastodon also works best when limiting to local instance and follows - it would benefit from being able to aggregate a few select local instances in a view, but that’s getting even further off topic!)

No game has ever home close to Zork for me. I was the right age for it, and there was so much imagination in it, and more importantly, it inspired so much imagination in the player. Nothing wrong with new games, but nothing’s ever come close to that feeling.

That may not be why his kid hates him…

23.5 in day and 22.5 at night. For summer, at least. I realized too much AC really affects my joints. Too little is unbearable. Humans are a fickle bunch…

Might for 22.5 day 21.5 night for winter.

Maybe, but with a sharpie and a bit of creativity, you could have yourself a barely functional wall clock.

Old school, but I really like midnight commander or mc. Fast and easy.

Another good one is ranger - more concise, but great.

I’d hate to be one of the 15 unlucky buyers…

That said - fsck Apple. I’ve no interest in their little walled garden. These stunts just reinforce why I feel that way.

Absolutely. Such a great movie.

It is all thanks to the Russian mission which went in beforehand to establish that the surface was, indeed, solid…

Honestly, the main reason is no fun anymore is the lack of a decent app (I loved BaconReader - YMMV). Since the UX has been downgraded severely (most have lost their preferred app), the user base, community and content have suffered.

I’d have been content to pay a reasonable subscription fee to keep using BaconReader. I’d even pay for ad removal - I’m not after a free ride. However, an enjoyable ride is now unavailable be it free or paid.

So, here’s Lemmy. I hope it works out long term, but the growing pains associated with scaling are not to be underestimated. I suspect the challenges will be less technical in nature than in user wrangling and moderation. (though running the tech ops mustn’t be underestimated).

TLDR - Yes.

Have they tried subscribing to Twitter Blue? As I understand it, it ‘unlocks’ the door feature…

Update - I’m still giggling.

That is the funniest thing I’ve read in quite a while!

Although you can add lemmy communities it’s really very limited and not useful (for me at least).

Likewise.

Love this song.

You are exactly correct.

I posted this in response to the DDOS attacks a few weeks ago. Same idea.

"… This is a shame. Hosting a high visibility server is no joke, and I don’t envy the admins and the very difficult work they do. It’s simultaneously an argument for and against decentralization. For - a single instance can get knocked out without talking out the whole fediverse. Against - it seems as though high visibility communities are potentially fairly easy to target and take down.

I think that decentralization wins out here in the end, but it does feel like there may be a need for some sort of fallback mechanism to be in place at an instance/community level. I suspect this might evolve somehow over time. It would require some way to expand trust between instances and or portability of communities (which could be fraught with user trust/data integrity issues).

If things don’t evolve it could grow into a whack-a-mole game for bad actors, or there might need to be more investment into server infrastructure (which could work against decentralization if only because of economies of scale).

Or maybe there’s no issue after all? I’m just imagining potential implications of a scaling fediverse - it’s fascinating and exciting stuff! …"

So… A hot shower? With no shortage of water pressure…?

This is a good comment. There is no vacuum. Well said.

I love Fela Kuti.

Recently picked up the complete boxed set with 27 (30?) cds.

Amazing stuff.
