In my head cannon she worships Khorne, “Blood for the blood god!”

Also, isnt that accent Birmingham…? Ignorant yank here

Doing my part to balance out you being ratio’d. Obviously everyone plays this with different expectations, but for some of the players, I think they arent trying to have fun but trying to be the first to find flaws.

I’m a filthy casual with one of each class, and aside from my precious “Big Hammer From Sky” needing heavy stuns to activate, I’m having fun with Huntress and understand its still early access… So ‘devistating’ seems a bit extreme and click-baity to me.

If you dont require open-source in your decision, Vivaldi is great. Its what i use most. It has a ton of granular features that i appreciate, but can be a bit too much for folks that want a more minimal experience.

Two scoops hot cocoa powder with one scoop Mount Hagan instant. I call it a Dirt-Bag Mocha. The ingredients sit proudly next to my array of hand pump espresso machines, pour over solutions and variety of delicious beans.

Respectfully, i disagree. If a person’s main instance defederated from an instance that was set up for a specific game, their main instance is likely doing so for ethical reasons/whim of admins.

If a user of that main instance has values that match with the mission of the instance they will either,

a) not want to be federated with the game instance in the first place, b) only align with a majority of the instance’s values and occasionally need an alt to access places defederated from, or c) find a new main since the one they chose is too restrictive for them.

I agree that having alts is annoying. Ideally, there will be options enough for users to find a main instance that they’re aligned with so they wouldnt need an alt. Regardless, i still think the game company running their own instance for the specific purpose of the game is where the fediverse ought to head.

I want, as an example, the US Forest Service to have their own instance. It solves two problems. One, the USFS gets to personally interact how they want in the fediverse and federate when they want with who they want (just like the rest of us) and two, Anyone with an @usfs.fedi.gov account could be trusted to actually be who they say they are. I would like this trend to include news outlets, gov angencies, schools, etc. It helps with validating information and provides trusted first-source information directly from orgs.

If the girlscouts changed a girlscout cookie flavor, their @girlscoutsofamerica.federated.social could make the announcement and we could trust the info and be mad that a cookie flavor changed.

It solves #1 as well because the Lemmy-phile/end user is already apart of an instance that would federate with the game instance.
Administration is taken on by the game company for their own instance, so updating and technical, server side stuff isnt a worry for the end user. As far as the instance owner, its no more difficult to keep updated as it is for other instances. If anything it would be easier because only the devs and company folks would be users of the instance itself so an update doesn’t impact their user base directly, there might just be a pause in new content while it was updating

If a Lemmy-naut is registered with an instance that’s defederated from the game company instance, they can always register at an instance that is federated, either in addition to their main or to replace it. The company’s instance would likely act as an info hub, but the gamers wouldn’t be members of the instance directly, so it would be like any other content that could be opted into. If it became the norm that games or game companies spun up their own instance, it could become a community and marketing tool for the games. But even if the instances themselves retire, the content made is still around and the existing fans could just start channels to continue the community. Companies that arent complete assholes could even assist with transfer to new channels elsewhere.

I think theres an opportunity down the line for a company/companies to form that specialize in helping orgs to spin up instances and sell their them hosting. Hosting is expensive for small groups to manage, but multiple small groups together could make it viable. Plus having the hosting coupled with help overcoming the tech-knowledge barrier could lead to more orgs feeling comfortable spinning up their own instances.

You know atuin is legit because the demo gif on their site is using GruvBox, the most bestest color scheme.

What a terrible app to clone…

The author of this excellent article mentioned that we and by extension, our friends, all hate being on TwiXter etc. but cant figure out a day to leave or place to go. While I believe the ‘place’ should be figured out amongst yourselves and there are many excellent options getting better by the day, I will do the hard thing and choose a time to make it easier for you/us…

Please be sure to have you destination decided ahead of time. Just like voting, I suggest you do it early and feel free to be a part of the advance team that straddles between the new location while still using the former ahead of the 28th.

I believe in you and know you can do it. Tell your friends. …and you’re welcome :)

edit: RSS is a great tool that will make the move easier

Nice

Does anyone have any good alternatives to my hometown, due to all the problems my hometown has? I dont want to get involved and help with my hometown, just stand in the town square and ask where a better town is. Oh, and don’t suggest the neighboring towns either.

Ahhh. That is good to know. Well, my most down-voted post will at least have taught me something. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Huh, when i started in on Lemmy it seemed that emptying overgrown caches was the first step in troubleshooting app woes. Have they gotten to a place where this isn’t the case? Was i misinformed? Thunder seems to be more snappy now that i cleared it.

You’re one of the smart ones then. This message is for the rest of us

Fair enough. It was meant to be more, "hey everyone, I’m an idiot and thought my app was misbehaving then remembered that i needed to clear the cache. After deleting 3 and a half gigs it’s working very well again. The bit about regularly scheduled programming was probably more projection than anything else. :) Sorry if i came off sounding like a prick, if you heard me say it out loud, it would have been dripping with self depreciation. edit for spelling

… Is technology the wrong channel for cache-clear messages, are we not reminding to clear cache anymore, or is my tone being misinterpreted…? Truely interested

In the future, when this is wildly successful, please develop a plugin for my smart watch so i don’t have too keep my phone in my pocket. /stuffthatsnotrelevantnow
