Yeah, I agree. I don't like it when you have to go out to a 3rd party site just to find that kind of relevant information. Though I realize they're trying to prevent spoilers (both in the screenshots and in the items you can include).

If it makes you feel any better, since such a small % of them get approved, yours probably wouldn't have been seen anyways. Hope that more of them can get voted on and approved :)

No it's not working. I can't see your post. None of us can, we were just playing along. Anyway, sorry to have to be the one to inform you.

I've been having the same problem even on my home IP. It only happens when I'm using Firefox though. If I use Chrome, and oddly enough change my IP by routing through my rented VPS and pass a few captchas then Google will eventually start to trust Firefox from my home IP. It's bizarre and Google is really starting to piss me off because I'm wasting so much time on this shit.

Really like Jacob Geller. I think his video essays are worth watching even if you're not into video games or haven't played the specific game he mentions (some videos might have spoilers, but usually there's a warning about that).

Nvidia Shield plugged into my TV running Jellyfin. Occasionally if I get playback issues I'll open with an external player like Just Player, Vimu, VLC, etc.

Jellyfin used to be pretty rough with playback, especially if you watch with subtitles, but in recent months I've rarely had playback issues.

On PC I use mpc/madvr, but usually just to check a video file, not to watch a whole movie. I save that for the TV.

I hired an electrician to rewire an outlet under my sink so that the switch above the sink can control only one of the two plugs. When he was done, I used the outlet tester and found that he hadn't properly connected the ground wire. I wasn't planning on connecting an appliance that needed grounding, but I think every outlet in the house should be grounded anyways as a matter of course. Got him to fix it before he left. That $9 I spent 7 years ago paid off as far as I'm concerned.

I have a garage door opener and I guess it's just not shielded well enough because LED light bulbs interfere with the signal from my remote, just one example. I would much rather buy new incandescent bulbs every few years than replace the opener outright.

Thanks, I sent it to my sprout friend who has been curious about 1.0.

It would be nice also to be able to browse other instances while logged into your home instance account so that you can find communities that you might not otherwise know about and subscribe directly.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.....

Ghost in the Shell (2017) was quite good.

The developers of Lemmy are the type who have jumped the shark when it comes to leftism.

I can't even blame you that much when places like Costco do their damnedest to get everyone in the self checkout line. If you're not paying attention it'd be easy to roll through there with stuff that doesn't really work well for self checkout.

Even when Susan is taking a huge cart through, a single queue for multiple service providers (self checkout) is always going to be theoretically more efficient than multiple queues - one per provider (one line for each cashier). The best of both worlds are places that have a single area to corral you into line, and a row of cashiers where you can go to the first available.

Yeah I really hate it when they give you self checkout but make everything function way way worse than what the cashier uses. I've never even considered shoplifting before but I've come pretty close on machines that refuse to scan because they're stuck on something 5 items ago when I'm moving quickly. Especially if it still beeps when I scan new items but refuses to actually scan it because it's hung up on something that it was slow to get the weight of -- really throws me off. It's not my job to baby your machine for you. I'm not getting paid for it. Just let me scan my shit and go.

You're not allowed to be mild mannered you idiot. Them's the rules. Now engage me in ill intentioned banter. We will meet at dawn.

That was one of the coolest games I've ever played. I still remember some random guy getting me into a private lobby and step by step teaching me how to K-Style and butterfly which just opened up an entire world of gameplay.

Wait they are on / . these days? Yeah it's been forever since I visited that site.

It's ok, I'm excited that you're excited.

The other thing is that they typically ban you for life, which is harsher even than our legal system. As a society we've agreed that it's possible to pay your debt to society, but private companies have no obligation to see things that way. It's like we've taken rules to deal with trolls in an old school Counter Strike server and tried to extend them to something that resembles a corporatocracy. It's a lot different and more meaningful to get banned from service provided by a monopolistic company compared to getting banned from your local bar, for example, when you can just go across town to the other one.

I really enjoyed Moon Hunters.

It Takes Two was absolutely excellent, but only two of you could play at once.

I usually give my comm to whoever's doing well on the imaginary leader board and moving the run along quickly.

I think part of the problem is that certain factions tend to be, as a whole, antithetical to open minded good faith engagement. The other part is that if you express a view too close to the views of one of those factions then people (reasonably) take shortcuts and use mental heuristics to determine that you're not worth engaging with. The result is that it's difficult to find common ground, especially on the internet where some (many) people are truly not acting in good faith.

Nothing, it's just an extra charge so that the company can make more money.

Many are waiting for 0.18.1 due to captcha being necessary to control spam and bots

I wish someone could explain to me how this wumao BS has gained any traction at all.

Crazy how the creators of Lemmy made that instance along with this one.

Nice, good info to know. I've been using this browser extension to speed up subscribing to communities across different instances, so I end up just loading the URL directly rather than searching for it on lemmy.world. I'll make sure to try searching next time if I run into the same problem.

It works for me now, thank you. I guess there's just a delay in pushing/pulling things from different instances?

I brought up this community on the ffxiv discord, and I think I managed to convince at least 1 person that lemmy is a pretty cool idea.

To be honest, I remember Reddit having a similar feel back in the day before it grew so massive. But this is still nice.

Any idea why I can't open https://lemmy.world/c/gardening@mander.xyz? Mander.xyz should be federated. I just get 404: couldnt_find_community
