The AMD devs must have experimented with injection and test played with the new drivers before release. I wonder why this wasn’t caught by Valve then.
I thought what should have happened was either the dev would get banned, or contacted by Valve and get told they technique should not be used, before driver release, and they could have worked with Valve to fix their code and/or VAC.
I felt slightly frustrated when I tried some Lemmy apps and they only offer a few largest instances in the initial setup and leave people to discover/find smaller instances by themselves.
It is understandable that they don’t want to present a thousand choices and confuse people, or get people to sign up for an instance that disappears a week later. Also, larger instances tend to get a snowball effect by receiving more donations / volunteers and scale better, other nodes are also more likely to help them if there are e.g. federation problems.
However this effectively promotes an centralized ecosystem that both depends on and burdens a small number of key instances.
What happens with magazines that don’t have tags set, like kbinMeta? It seems that kbin people can select a magazine when they make a new post but (I don’t have a Mastodon account) do people from Mastodon have some way to make their post show up in kbinMeta’s microblog section or follow kbinMeta’s thread/microblog contents?
Yes I did that to try out the apps too. wefwef/Voyager is very nice and is being updated frequently and getting new features. Memmy is pretty good too. Lemmy.world was a bit sluggish before they fixed it that’s why I was trying out a less busy instance.
When Artemis for kbin comes out I’d like to check it out too.
Lemdro.id fixed it on their end and the following should work. Is it still not working on your instance?
You click on the magnifying glass on the top right (on kbin.social this leads to https://kbin.social/search) and search for “@[email protected]” (without quotes).
It was with kbin instances.
It is fixed now and the community can be accessed from kbin.social at https://kbin.social/m/[email protected] .
I can find kbin.social in https://lemdro.id/instances . Unfortunately I do not know where you can find this information on kbin.social.
I also tried to search for “@[email protected]” on https://kbin.social/search and it generated some results the first time (just thread contents and not the magazine) but now it comes up totally empty (not even a “not found” message) which seems to indicate there is a problem.
EDIT: opened an issue on codeberg: https://codeberg.org/Kbin/kbin-core/issues/637
Currently there are (is?) content-only servers like https://lemmit.online/ .
I have been thinking perhaps the idea can be carried further and we can separate the user-facing front end and the back end.
Imagine having multiple front end servers (e.g. fe1.site, fe2.site, … fe5.site) all connecting to the same user database and the same back end server which serves the communities and contents etc (call it be.site for example). A user signs up once and can login to any front end server with the same account, create a community /c/whatever on e.g. fe3 and it will be accessible automatically on fe1-fe5.
This is in addition to the back end federating with outside servers. Outside sees the community as be.site/c/whatever and users there as be.site/u/whoever. (or maybe make an alias like www.site/c/whatever www.site/u/whoever).
Additional front end servers can be added to spread the load if there are many users. If done right the users shouldn’t even need to choose (or be aware of) which front end server they log on to, it can be automatically load-balanced. Another idea would be that special front end servers can be created to only serve API calls for apps.
I’m not sure if this will have bottleneck somewhere else, but I think this is an interesting idea to explore.
Would there be any benefit to lemmy.world admins running a lemmy2.world and redirecting new users to sign up there? It would spread the load and federation between the two should be easier due to proximity and having the same admins.
I agree. IMO a mascot is something you can make a plush toy out of.
It does not make sense to me why the API charge have to be calculated by total traffic of all users of an app either. I’ve decided to think it is just an excuse to get rid of third party apps until convinced otherwise.
For videos I try to turn subtitles off if possible, I find that they do distract me from watching other details on screen. However a lot of times I find myself switching subtitles back on because the dialogue is hard to make out over the background sounds and effects.
Sometimes after watching, say, a TV episode of some show I go online and check the discussion, when I would come across a question somebody asked and I would wonder “Why would they ask that? It was so clearly stated in the show” and then I realized I had subtitles on and was able to read it clearly, whereas another watcher could have missed / misheard those dialogue if he/she didn’t turn on subtitles.
Was lab1 destroyed by a zombie outbreak?
So Putin thinking Zelensky would flee Ukraine at the first sign of trouble when he invaded is just self-projection?
Also, mouseover is not an easily doable action on mobile / touch-based interfaces.
This is the right approach. Create the mascot with some uniquely identifying features (looks, shape, color scheme etc) first and then make a logo / icon out of it. The OP is a generic looking white parrot head on a purple background. Better to make the mascot purple to fit the purple folder logo.
I was going to suggest a “featured” page for magazines, so the site admin can give a list of magazines that e.g. suit the theme of the site on a page. Perhaps a “featured” tab on the “All magazines” page?
From what I’ve read, transferring account is current not implemented. It is possible on Mastodon, so it may one day be implemented on Lemmy nor kbin, certainly many people have asked for it.
Please take good care Ernest.
