I thought that was the only protocol that currently allows for federation. Are there others? Or other ways?

The Matrix and XMPP both support federation, though those are mainly for chat platforms

Tbh, not a huge fan of the pick. I had various Motorola Droid phones for years before switching to Samsung. All of the Droids were horribly underpowered after 2 years and the batteries only had 1/2 of their original capacity by that point. Then I got a Samsung S10e and it lasted 5+ years.

I seriously hope Motorola has gotten rid of their planned obsolescence policy in the past few years. It’s nice that there’s going to be a second vendor option for GrapheneOS soon, but I wish it was a better vendor

The Nazi instance that got blocked literally had something adjacent to “nazi” in their url. Fairly clear decision if you ask me. This was a few months ago so I don’t recall the actual server name without digging it up.

Then there was the Hexbear fiasco, where they decided to federate with us (apparently they have it set up for admins to opt-in to federation instead of opt-out). They ended up swarming all of our communities for 4-5 days with nonstop harassment. Then their admins decided to re-defederate before we could vote on whether to block them. Literally a “you can’t fire me, I quit!” scenario.

Dude, you don’t have to disparage other games to promote another. And there’s plenty of other games that do get monster design right. Go look at Coromon or Palworld.

And while LumenTale looks good, I’m not fully sold on the creature design. A lot of it looks overly detailed, like the newer Pokémon games, like everything has swirls and/or spikes.

There’s something to the phrase “less is more”. An overall simpler design with 1-2 defining features does a much better job at making a particular creature design stand out, even amonst a large roster. If everything has tons of details and flair, they all start blurring together.

Personally, I think creature aethetics that are closer to Gen 3 or 4 Pokémon strike the best balance. And some people would argue with me on that point and claim that Gen 2 or even Gen 1 designs are the best. And you know what? That’s fine. People can like what they like because it’s subjective.

And no, that last part isn’t contradicting my first part. I’m giving reasons as to why someone might not like the newer style. For some it’s not a factor, for others it’s a big deal.

I migrated during Reddit’s API debacle. I picked sh.itjust.works for several reasons:

• No email required to sign up (at the time)
• Hosted the only NonCredibleDefense community on Lemmy (at the time)
• Had almost no defederated instances (at the time)
• Consistent uptime (was 99% at the time and still not far off)
• Hosted in Canada but accepting of US citizens
• Powered by 98% renewable energy
• TheDude abides

While some things have changed like defederating from more servers, it’s left up to a vote by users of the server and the vote doesn’t get proposed unless there’s a good reason (such as a server being Nazi-friendly or constantly harassing/trolling users)

Does watching Twitch through GrayJay get around this?

Well, yeah, they’re samurai

Medieval European knights weren’t much better either.

Turns out the rich and powerful have always been assholes

Wild Blue Skies looks like the sequel to Star Fox 64 that people have been waiting >20 years for

I’m kinda surprised that the Zizians didn’t get more news coverage to be honest. You’d think they’d be obsessed with a tech-based death cult where half the leadership also happen to be trans

I gotta admit, I like wholesome greentexts

Eveny single website running should do this, and refuse to display for Californians

Tbf, there’s options that are just as secure and don’t require a phone # to register, but that doesn’t make Signal bad

Exactly. Meta is fine with What’sApp having E2EE, because they can still spy at the endpoints

but it’s really expensive to pay for the traffic.

Why not torrent then?

I’ve slept using latex pillows my entire life, can’t go without them.

I once forgot my pillow at home on a 1 week trip, and I had terrible sleep the entire time

Abigail is heavily slightly implied

FTFY

There’s only one line that could arguably be interpreted that way

Quick FYI: it’s Elder Scrolls VI, you added an extra ‘I’ by accident

And eventually companies will hopefully start cancelling those subscriptions to move to Open Office or Libre Office.

France is already starting that push by having government departments transition first, and are projected to save millions of euros in licensing fees each year. Once you get a critical mass of users on libre software, it’ll hopefully spread on its own

Despite the division they’re closing making way more money (aka > $0) than the one she was moved from
