I think low voted comments still get pushed to the bottom though, is that not right?

This has basically been our spring and summer for 4 of the last 5 summers in Alberta. Just awful

It's winking at you

Jerboa or just in the browser. Honestly though most people's issues are likely to be because they joined a huge instance which is falling over due to load. Consider making a new account on a smaller instance.

I feel like what you're referring to is higher order thought. Do you think that beings might exist in this universe that are beyond our thought process? Would they view us as lacking a "soul" like we would view insects as lacking a soul?

Is this different than firing someone over their social media posts or inappropriate conduct captured on video? To me it does, but I'm not sure I can articulate why. Am I being a hypocrite?

Isn't there something with disco elysium and whoever is profiting off of it now is not the original creators?

Kinjo in general is pretty good value.

Completely forgot about boulangerie. What a great cafe

Right, why participate if it's just going to be buried under the mountain of other content.

I'd imagine you're rather unique. I have a hard time imagining atheists believing in something as nebulous as a soul.

EDIT: Please don't downvote OP, if anything this is a more interesting discussion thread than just "No, we're just meat and electricity"

Better than 8388409 rows deleted at least.

Unfortunate. Although maybe I should have a look at the API

Yeah thinking of going over to another instance. Anyone know how easy it is to migrate subscriptions from one instance to another?

Incredible destruction 😮

Yep that's exactly what I was trying to convey. It does feel like the early internet days when everything was just a bit broken and streamlined UX was not at the forefront of tech. The primary users were the geeks that could figure this stuff out.

All good

My understanding is there isn't one Lemmy. There are lots of instances, but they all talk to each other. I.e. they share the posts and comments their users make. If an instance becomes problematic then other instances will choose to stop receiving updates from them. So users of the bad instance can still see the content and comment on it, but other users won't see the content from those users.

Sad grass

I kind of like the lower comment count. It sucks when there are literally no comments, but for me, I'm much more inclined to leave a comment when there aren't too many already. Plus I found most comments were really low effort jokes. For every well thought out comment, there were a million 'this' type comments.

Plus everything is just a bit broken and requires some figuring out. I'm definitely pretty tech savvy, but I'm having a hard time imagining non tech savvy people figuring out how to sign up and access these communities, at least not in the current state of things.

Interesting, thanks for explaining

I'm not prompted at all by the nightly. So far I've been just following the community and manually installing the new version of the nightly.

Mostly spend time with family and friends. Usually there are big gatherings in most cities or towns and fireworks. Do you have anything similar (big national holiday)?

Follow on question. Is vimium c a fork of vimium then?

That time of the year

Yeah active is pretty bad unless you just want to see the active posts from the last few days. Hot is pretty good primarily because of the explosion in users over the last little while.

Haven't yet, but I should take the family to get some ice cream

Performance is good. It looks like there's an issue with upvoting sub comments. When I upvote a sub comment it instead upvotes the parent comment. I can keep upvoting and the counter for the parent comment keeps ticking up.

FWIW the pre release build is actually in a pretty good state right now

I recently watched a French movie called La Haine which is basically about the same thing this movie was released nearly 30 years ago so things have not changed much it seems.

The issue I have with memes is that you end up with the same low effort meme posts:

"does anyone remember this forgotten gem? (image of best selling game)"

"When your custom character is in a cutscene"

"You're 12 again, school is over and you're about to play (massively popular game)"

Etc

I feel like maybe there should just be a gaming memes community. For that sort of content.

Definitely looking forward to a more native android theme although I'm sure it's not a priority rn

When my kids were about that age we would play piggy back brigade. Fun little racing game with cute pigs. Easy enough for kids to pick up and fun for adults too.

I feel like fluxx has a bit too much mental load for a 5 yo with how many rules can be in play at any given point. Sushi Go can definitely be a good choice though.

I honestly didn't event know this was a genre (aside maybe from football manager) until a few days ago. Getting super overwhelmed by the depth of these games, but watching through tutorials to try to get a handle on it.

Bought out of the park 24 and franchise hockey manager bundle

Still remember listening to her late night radio show with friends and snickering at all the sex talk.

What a bizarre story. Another good reason not to use Facebook.

Is this a friendship you want? It sounds like it's upsetting seeing her with someone else. I would say it's time to move on.
