  • That's pretty dang cool :)

  • A co-op campaign I'd be down for, but I can't say I'm excited for this. I'm just not feeling the vibe.

  • As a huge fan of the original, but disappointed with the sequels, I'm cautiously optimistic!

  • I was trying to combine Captcha with Capisce (pronounced capeesh, like an italian mobster) as a joke, but I'm not sure it landed 😅

  • In my experience, there's only been a handful of mods and an equally small number of instances where I feel that is likely to happen, but for the most part it seems most mods have a pretty light touch. I've only had one negative experience with a mod, personally, and I post quite a bit.

  • Ah, but did ye not pull thyself up by thy bootstraps to attain such magnificent power over thy lessers? Thou hast surely earned thy power by the divine right of business!

  • Welcome to the fold. First rule of 🍑 🔑: claim territory, and keep the isekai clan off our turf.

    They give you trouble, you call me, captchisce? 🤌

  • Hopefully they'll still be made for people without access to high speed internet.

    It makes sense that VHS production ceased, since DVD's are better in every metric, cheaper to produce, and eventually became the bigger market after players got so cheap. I would've thought blurays would continue that trend, but if these sales statistics are anything to go by, it's possible DVD could outlive Bluray as a viable market. I assume DVD's occupy a sweet spot between good enough quality and affordability.

  • I assume there will still be less prominent brands making them, just as there are still DVD players being made.

  • I've always pronounced it Ass-key

  • Comment removal is federated, but .World can only remove comments left in .World communities, they have no power to remove comments left in a different instance's community.

    So if the mods of thing@lemmy.world are acting in a way you don't approve, you could use thing@sopuli.xyz instead, and the .World mods would be powerless to moderate you.

  • True, forgot about them! Only issue with Lems (or at least their boots) is their construction doesn't lend itself super well to resole-ing (though neither do Vivo's, really), though I have heard of cobblers doing it by grinding down the existing sole and gluing on a replacement.

    The Jim Green Barefoot African Ranger is constructed like a traditional boot, so is easily resoled by any cobbler, but I had to send mine back since they weren't wide enough for me (they seem to be on the more narrow end of 'barefoot' style boots).

    But for how affordable lems are, they're a solid choice and have way more cushion than vivos.

  • After trying Barefoot style shoes (which usually have much wider than normal toeboxes) I can never go back.

    Vivobarefoot shoes are expensive, but pretty high quality and have a great toebox.

    Freet are more affordable and often made of recycled material, but some of their designs can be slightly odd looking. They hold up well though, very nice quality from the reviews I've seen. They're made in the UK, I believe.

    Splay shoes offer what is essentially wide toebox vans.

    There's tons more though. I'd recommend Anya's Reviews to narrow down what suits you best, she's pretty legit in her info from what I've seen.

  • Short answer:

    It would be the same people. Changing instances is just changing your access point to lemmy. Your 'local' tab will change to show only communities that were created on that new instance, but your 'all' and 'home' tabs will show all the same communities and posts that you see now on lemmy.world, and all the same people will be there.

    Long answer explaining how this whole system works in detail:

    Lemmy is a federated platform, which just means each server is interconnected with each other.

    Imagine if you downloaded lemmy and installed it onto your computer directly, turning your own computer into a server/instance, just like hosting a game server for minecraft. You could send the link for your server to your friends, and they could connect to your computer and create accounts for themselves there, which would let them create communities that all your friends would see show up in their local tab view.

    But if one of your friends put a link to a lemmy.world community in the search bar of your lemmy, it would tell your server to reach out to lemmy.world across the internet and create a connection between your server and that lemmy.world community, and to keep thst connection going forever, meaning that any posts or comments that are made to that lemmy.world community will automatically send copies to your server, basically mirroring them, and allowing posts to show up in your friends 'all' view, or if they subscribe to that lemmy.world community, those posts will show up in their 'home' view as well, along with any other subscriptions they have. But their 'local' view will only ever show the communities that they made on your server on your computer.

    If your friends comment on those mirrored posts that were sent to your server, your server will send them to the lemmy.world community where it will then distribute out your friends comments to any other server/instance that has users subscribed to that community too, so that those servers can mirror those comments as well, thus making everyone able to communucate with eachother no matter what instance they are logging in from.

    So the only major change between instances is their local view.
