I set up pihole a few months ago. I added a few dozen of the highest recommended block lists, but I wasn't impressed at all. It didn't seem very effective at blocking ads in both real world tests and tests that I found online specifically for testing your adblocker.
So I started working at a startup right after I graduated college. They couldn't pay a competitive wage, so they gave me a ton of stock. A year into working there, about half the company was laid off. I survived. They begged us not to leave the company by giving us more stock. I started interviewing elsewhere, because I have bills to pay, but I never got any other jobs. Then one day they handed me an envelope. It contained paperwork for even more stock. I thought it wasn't going to be worth the paper it was printed on, so I kept looking for other jobs. Never found one.
Well, a few years go by and the company starts doing very well. Then we got bought out. Suddenly all the worthless stock they gave me was worth a fuck ton of money. The buying company bought ALL of it. Even unvested shares. One day they wrote me a really, really big check, then I went and bought a house.
It was absolutely life changing, and I tried to throw it away at every chance I got. I got so lucky.
You don't use Home? Home and End are my two most used keys on this list. IDEs move your cursor to the beginning of the line but after the indents. It's God -tier.
I think it is a valid point, though. How do GDPRs even work on Lemmy? Do you need to submit one to every instance that your instance is federated with? What about transitively federated instances? Sometimes when you delete something, the delete action doesn't get federated. That's kind of terrifying. If you post something personally identifying without realizing it, then try to delete it, you might not be able to.
Imo, it's something to keep on mind when posting on Lemmy, but not a reason to not use it.
I honestly think it was a case of he was just so popular that everyone has to act like they hate him to seem cool and hipster. The same thing happened with Green Day in like 2006. The same thing is happening with Taylor Swift now.
I actually still find Dane Cook's stand up funny, which I know is not a popular opinion on the internet. But I still think anything longer than 60 minutes - MAYBE 90 minutes - would be excruciating.
I never played Ages. I borrowed Seasons from a friend, and I don't think I knew it was part of a set until years later.
I keep holding out hope that they'll remake Seasons and Ages using the Link's Awakening remake engine. That's what is preventing me from playing it now on an emulator.
Oracle of Seasons was my first Zelda game ever! I think I actually liked it more than Links Awakening, but I might be biased because it was my first one. Both are excellent games, though.
I'm finally getting around to playing Hollow Knight. I'm decently far into the game now, and I'm having fun. It reminds me of the original Metroid where there are very few limits to where you can go early on, and you can just sort of get lost exploring and discovering really meaningful upgrades seemingly by accident. As opposed to the Ori games, which remind me of newer Metroid games where there is clearly a path that you are supposed to be on and very set order for you to get meaningful upgrades with a little bit of variance to reward extra exploration.
It really depends. For example, the app might not be sending data on what is happening. It might just say "event 1 happened" which triggers it to flash blue or "event 2 happened" which triggers it to flash rainbow. If there are no additional information, then the only way it could be done is by modifying the app.
And that's not even getting into creating custom firmware for the device. You would either need to get your hands on their source code for that or reverse engineer it.
I'm a firm believer that nothing is impossible, but one this is for sure, it would likely be a ton of work.
Thank you for the explanation. I admittedly am a bit cautious about this feature. But I can see how it can be a powerful tool to prevent bullying.
Hopefully we can trust our admins. But theoretically a bad actor could make an instance that federates with everyone and then takes this info and posts all the vote counts publicly for every post and every comment. And if we don't know which instance is the one responsible, we wouldn't be able to defederate from them to stop them from getting this info.
Not that this feature is the cause of that. Admins could already do this with a db query. And I don't think there is any way around that without making votes completely uncrackable. Just kind of thinking out loud.
Typically quality goes down as more third party studios get involved. If they can keep their quality up somehow, this will be a good thing. But I don't want annual shovelware Zelda games like COD or how Assassin's Creed was in the 2010s.
