Not that I disagree with you, because it is absurd, but I’ve been writing off the cost of the battle pass as just a way to get “discount” cosmetics. The overall cost of the cold iron set is cheaper than a standard store set at the cost of needing to grind to get it.

Dark mode can be harder on the eyes and/or give headaches to people with astigmatism. It has to do with halation. White text on a black background is blurrier than black text on a white background. There’s a nice accessibility description here. I personally dislike dark mode for that very reason.

Just to add to this, there are also a lot of them that programmable, so as long as they’re pinned out to the correct HDMI standard, you can add arbitrary custom resolutions using something like CRU or an edid writer.

Each instance has a copy. There are a couple of ways to backfill information, but in general any communication that happens gets broadcast out to every instance that’s subscribed. If an instance is offline or otherwise unavailable (like it’s defederated), then that instance will not get that message and will be slightly out of sync. It’s this semi-sync nature that also makes it so that anything posted likely exists somewhere even after you delete because nothing guarantees that every instance will get the delete message.

Yes. Defederating - at least right now - only stops the communication (hangs up the phone). Any existing posts/comments will still be present.

If an instance is defederated with another instance that all content in and out is ignored after the point at which instances defederated. So, in this example, you might see old lemmygrad.ml posts in your lemmy.world instance. If you comment on one of those posts, only other lemmy.world users will see it, meanwhile none of the lemmygrad.ml users will see it. Likewise, none of comments/posts that have happened after the instance defederated will appear on lemmy.world.

It’s akin to having a conference call/speaker phone conversation. Everyone in your room can hear and speak. Likewise everyone in the other room can hear and chat too. When the call drops (defederates), each room can continue having conversations on what they were just talking about but neither room has any clue about the other’s conversations.

This exact combo of genres hit me like a truck within the past two months or so. I used to not care much for Jazz at all and now it’s been nothing but jazz and 80s inspired synth/vapor wave. I think it probably is for similar reasons. Hearing certain combinations of synth or certain jazzy combos really transports me back in time to specific eras of my child and young adulthood.

Yeah allowing it without voiding the warranty is massively useful, but Valve does not make it easy to replace the battery and would likely be unable to sell it in the EU under the current design (ifixit suggests a 2-4 hour process for an experienced person). I think it’s a huge step up from some manufacturers, but a good number of changes would need to be done to make it actually user replaceable. I’m sure they’ll get there though!

Wow, small world - we literally made these for lunch today! We used the same size tortillas it opted to use a small street taco sized flour tortilla to address the larger one night quite wrapping all the way around.

Hopefully this doesn’t just manifest itself as simply not selling these devices in the EU. Seems highly unlikely that would be the case, but a possibility I suppose.

It definitely works with Lemmy, but that could certainly explain an issue I’ve been having with kbin!

Thanks again for tweaking it, so far it’s looking good.

I find it hard to believe that an industry that uses the Wilhelm scream repeatedly, everywhere, for over 70 years would suddenly want to reuse AI generated extras…

A lemmy instance won’t start federating until a user has searched for and subscribed to a particular community. So, taking a peek at your instance it looks like you’ve only subscribed to one local “Announcements” community.

This is where things need to get a little creative. On my instance I have an account whose sole purpose is to search for and subscribe to interesting communities to fill up my “All” tab. I then use my main account to focus on the communities that I want to interact with regularly. I wrote a little script to automate that, but it’s still pretty simple to do manually.

It has to do with halation. White text on a black background is blurrier than black text on a white background. There’s a nice accessibility description here.

I have astigmatism, so dark mode is harder on the eyes when reading text. So, even though I like the aesthetics of dark mode, I need to use light mode to not put so much strain on my eyes.

One downside is that images uploaded to lemmy.world are hosted on lemmy.world. If the instance ever goes down those images are gone since federation does not propagate the files. This is less of an issue for that specific instance, but I could see smaller instances disappearing and causing issues with broken image links.

I think the full title in the body would definitely address the issue. When I first encountered it, it threw me off before I realized what it was doing - I would click into the post expecting to see the whole title.

Would it be possible to tweak the bot a little? It frequently posts titles that exceed the character limit for the titles. It’s unfortunate because some of the conversations they’re trying to start sound legitimately interesting but they’re cut short before their natural termination.

The ending scene for the mother is what gets me every time.
