Throwing a tantrum about what exactly? They’re one of the oldest-running Lemmy instances. Until now they were running a fork based on a pre-Federation version of the codebase.

You believe they did a bunch of work migrating their database only to then negate that work by destroying the community they wanted to Federate with?

It’s a lot more nuanced than that. The Chapo mods wanted to follow site-wide rules but reddit refused to explain what was in violation of them.

Reddit actually has a weird history of flipflopping with the banhammer.

Back in the day, the XKCD subreddit was run by a guy who linked a Holocaust denial subreddit and the red pill in the sidebar. Reddit didn’t do anything about this. In fact The Red Pill still exists.

But then when the subreddit owner closed KotakuInAction, suddenly reddit doesn’t mind interfering with the free market of ideas.

Sure, but that’s a separate argument.

Is it my fault if my coworker decides to live twice as far as I do?

I’d rather just let them sit in traffic thinking they gamed the system.

You could also share links in a Url shortened style and use that redirect to let someone select an instance or log in to another service to know where to send links. This also isn’t great.

The ideal would be a site that asks you for your instance once, saves it as a cookie, then automatically redirects you.

Lemmy.world is slowing to a crawl and barely working due to being overloaded.

I heard 0.18.4 has performance improvements.

The problem with zip is that Windows can’t open every zip file.

Might be a bit heavy, but assuming you have a good upload/GPU: Jellyfin.

1. You could trivially verify an emulated game with a checksum

2. If a game is released on GOG, there are Checksums that are hidden from the user. GOG games are DRM-free, so there’s no reason anyone would modify the installer.

How would this even be enforced?

The school has an obligation to educate students to the best of their ability.

Good luck enforcing that.

Why don’t they stop making education stupid, then?

That’s kinda historically illiterate. The reason people tolerated Capitalism in the first place was that it smashed old forms of oppression and replaced them with less bad forms of oppression.

Once user base is high enough, start introducing features that aren’t available (chat, polls) in the API to entice users to abandon 3rd party apps for new features

Except in reddit’s case, both Chat and Polls are features that were hardly used.

The issue is more political than technical. Hopefully AV1 will fix that.

Check out Isthereanydeal. Tells you other stores that sell a game as well. You can import your wishlist.

As someone who doesn’t play a lot of AAA games, it’s legitimately gripping. Enough that I bought it on both PS5 and PC/Deck. Granted it was on sale both times.

I got a $20 Hub and wouldn’t recommend it. For whatever reason the USB parts didn’t work.

Which Lemmy instance was it that suspended Habeas Corpus?

I hope eventually RISC-V will become viable.
