flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Games@lemmy.world•A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"?English67·2 days agoFallout 3. The criticism is absolutely fair*, but it was the first RPG I ever played and I’m still very fond of it.
* I never got the ‘metros are hard to navigate’ criticism, I never had that issues. Most of them are pretty linear.
The one I’ve heard the most buzz about is Rue Valley, but Travelling at Night does look interesting. Thanks telling me about it.
I just hope one of the ‘spiritual successors’ is able to live up to it. I don’t want to imaging going my whole life and not experiencing something like DE again.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Two Approaches to Solving the “Quiet Fediverse” Problem: Conversation Backfilling MechanismsEnglish1·8 days agoThat still only shows replies the server knows about, this article is about making sure all replies to a post are present on all servers.
FEP-1b12 (Group ferderation) kinda already alleviates this, our part of the fediverse doesn’t really suffer from the missing replies problem, but it’s a solution that doesn’t work well with microblog platforms.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Fediverse@lemmy.world•Need help implementing ActivityPub - getting inconsistent results across platformsEnglish1·9 days agoI’m not the most knowledgeable about Mastodon’s APub implementation, but having a look at the
Actor
of that profile, it might be because it’s invalid JSON-LD. Now, Mastodon doesn’t actually do proper JSON-LD checks, you can follow PieFed profiles from Mastodon and they don’t produce proper JSON-LD, but they do include"https://w3id.org/security/v1"
in their@context
, and doing a code search of Mastodon’s source code does show some checks for if that’s included.Lemmy’s I am familiar with and irrc it doesn’t even check if
@context
is present.

Is it really self-hosting if someone else controls the data and software?
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•So death threats are a 7 day ban, but misogynistic comment on an entirely different sub is a permanent ban?English15·2 months agoOh, so when you make baseless assumptions about people it’s just you rationally arriving at a conclusion from context, but when someone else says your personality sucks based from your diatribe about women and dating, it must be because they’re an irrational, emotional wöman.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•So death threats are a 7 day ban, but misogynistic comment on an entirely different sub is a permanent ban?English18·2 months agoYou’re literally attacking personality of someone you don’t know in that comment.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•So death threats are a 7 day ban, but misogynistic comment on an entirely different sub is a permanent ban?English25·2 months agoSo she did, I’ll admit I missed those ones. Still, you have this still up on you account, undeleted, so I’d say YDI:
And I would feel fairly confident that the commenter was a woman because attacking someones personality (that they don’t know at all) is typically done by women. If they don’t like something you said they tend to tell you that you have a crap personality or a tiny dick.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•So death threats are a 7 day ban, but misogynistic comment on an entirely different sub is a permanent ban?English44·2 months agoThis is the the death threat, btw:
bro I’m literally putting a curse on you rn. you’re going to die soon
Damn, I wonder why misogyny got a longer ban than that. /s

flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Technology@beehaw.org•The fediverse promises social media without Big Tech – if it can avoid familiar pitfallsEnglish27·3 months agoThough this content could flourish in pockets of the fediverse, the scary scenario of prevalent child sexual abuse material is not the case. There are many moderation tools, including shared blocklists, that prevent it. However, the idea that the fediverse is full of harmful content was used by Elon Musk to justify his anti-competitive decision to block links from X to Mastodon.
Didn’t he unban someone who posted one of the worst CSAM videos known?
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukOPto Lemmy@lemmy.ml•[Discussion] Should Lemmy allow mods/admins to edit user post dataEnglish5·3 months agoIf a post contains content that is not allowed, the post should be deleted, that’s it.
OK, but what about content that is allowed, but has certain restrictions, like needs to be tagged NSFW. The current workflow to get this changed is: A mod comments under a pot telling the creator to tag it NSFW -> Remove the post -> wait for the creator to edit the post -> restore the post. This seems needlessly complicated and labour intensive, no?
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Since updating from 0.19.3, my instance no longer pulls Youtube metadata/thumbnailsEnglish2·3 months agoDoesn’t matter if they do, Lemmy cuts off the connection after streaming the number of bytes it wants.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•LW admins instance-ban a Lemm.ee user for being underageEnglish1·3 months agoInteresting. I’ve always considered an API a way to control some other software, while a protocol is about different software communicating. IDK, I just don’t consider APub’s S2S an API. Don’t know if that’d hold up in court, but that’s what I think.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•LW admins instance-ban a Lemm.ee user for being underageEnglish4·3 months agoIt’s a protocol, which I suppose you could argue is an API though that’d be a very liberal definition of API.
flamingos-cant@feddit.ukto Ye Power Trippin' Bastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com•LW admins instance-ban a Lemm.ee user for being underageEnglish16·3 months agoOkay. So again, what’s the problem? Everyone should be happy.
No one on lemmy.world will see anything Sag posts, ~ 1/3 of all Lemmy users. Not the end of the world, but it can be demotivating.
Humor me for a moment - if you go to a website, directly, do you have to abide by their terms of service?
No, a TOS is a contract, you have to agree to it to be subject to it.
Where are you getting the idea that I’m saying TOS shouldn’t be enforced? I’m not saying that, I’m disputing who it applies to.
You said, and I quote:
I just don’t think banning a remote user for TOS violation is a good one.
Remote user, i.e. someone who’s account isn’t on lemmy.world. Local accounts on lemmy.world should still be subject to the TOS.
Oh for sure, Fallout 3 Geoguesser would be hard. Idk, I just never had a problem navigating them, even if they were a bit samey.
