I think being added to join-lemmy definitely helps but people that are already on Lemmy aren’t going to that site so it definitely shows that we are growing (or at least replacing people at a decent rate)

Sounds like you have a good instance, congrats on the growth

This is the only comment your instance knows about because of the way federation works. I can see his comment history goes back 1.7 years

It’s just the default front end that does that. Using a front end like voyager can automatically redirect links to the instance you are signed in on, more apps and the default front end ought to do that quite frankly

Ironic considering Lemmy.world is Dutch I believe

I’m mean there is no real downside to having and sharing an opinion outside the “hive mind”

“Karma” on Lemmy isn’t tracked. Having a negative score comment or post doesn’t affect your account or experience at all. I’ve posted plenty that has gotten downvoted into the negative and I haven’t even gotten a warning because Lemmy is an actual free speech platform unlike twitter or Reddit.

That doesn’t mean that everyone has to like your opinions though, hence the downvotes, but that’s ok.

It looks like you fixed your issue but I had the same thing happen on windows 10 so I am gonna post how I fixed it in case someone runs across this thread later.

In my case everything had been working previously but after an arbitrary reboot, my windows 10 PC could ping the local network and nothing else suddenly. No access to the tailnet, Internet; DNS or otherwise. On the wired interface that is. I could connect to WiFi and it would work just fine. I had a DHCP reservation set, deleted the reservation, let it get a new IP and then it worked. No idea why? Recreated the reservation and it still worked back on the old IP again

You get used to being house poor. You learn how to budget how much it really costs you to live.

It beats paying someone else’s bills. That’s for sure

When you think things are bleak as far as repairs/maintenance, look to local lenders in your community. Unless you made a significant down payment they probably sold your mortgage to Freddie but they still can give you loans on your home equity especially if going to pay for things that are going to put more equity in your home.

Essential game if you are playing with an original dual shock for sure

She’s a kid, you are hardly an adult. Just be kind, the things you are going through she can’t really understand at that age. And the things that a big deal to her, aren’t that big of a deal for you.

When you both are older and more mature you will hopefully just remember that you were kind and not the teenage drama that comes with adolescence and finding your place in the world.

He’s fine. His videos come off as a bit whiny. The stance of pirating content as being justified instead of just abstaining from an unsatisfactory service seems entitled to me but I get it. I think he’s mostly right in his analysis of things, I don’t make it through every video that he posts though

Is it full of spam because it’s unmoderated or is it just empty. If it’s just empty but has a good amount of subs just start posting. A lot of times the community can police itself and if you need a moderator if it becomes more active then reach out the the instance admins that the community is hosted on.

Old games don’t need to be played on a CRT any more than modern games need to be played on an OLED/LCD flat panel.

If it can purchase alcohol it’s retro

I have a 500GB drive in my hard drive slot using the third party adapter and grimDoomer OPL

From my experience using mem2sio to run games from an SD card is that the memory card slot causes issues with certain games causing issues from lagging cutscenes, long load times, and freezes. Are those fixed in this version or is it similar as far as compatibility goes?

No that’s a one gap pit that drops you back in the lower half of one of the sewers in the first area of the game. But yeah that one is rough too before you realize you can use walk over it

The level in the sewer with that 2 block jump and a short ceiling that kills your turtle if you fall in the water is way more diabolical.

Would rioting actually make anything better? Seems like people have more to lose by rioting than they do by posting a mean tweet
