have you tried changing back to the other keyboard, there is usually a button in the bottom left. a lot of emoji shorthands are actually keyboard features.
Funny you checked protondb for the previous ones, but not BG3 itself. It’s out in early access, people have been playing the early acts for a while now.
I had to think for a minute, I didn’t realise how many of the console’s stand-out titles are Japanese. Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, and Driver are my picks.
I didn't really follow the recent "drama" (for lack of a better term), but I'm glad it came about because it created a lot of buzz on hackernews about reddit alternatives which got me to check out the Fediverse (kbin/lemmy), and a few other alternatives. I really like the look and feel of Discuit, but it's inevitable for it to become essentially another digg v4/reddit 2.0 clone because apart from a nice UI and the creator/owner not being a dick, it's still a centralised forum that will limit or censor discussion at the whims of the owner in the end. I don't want that.
Ars Technica recently published an article very critical of Mastodon. The main takeaway is the argument that Mastodon won’t scale well to a large userbase, as the more instances there are, the bigger the server burden to everyone. And as most users are against corporate funded instances (they’d defederate from any that emerge), it may be unsustainable mid/long-term.
I wonder if these scaling-issues apply to Lemmy too? The instances make copies of posts/comments from other instances. They copy images too? And videos? If so, I imagine a future where only the bigger and wealthiest instances will survive.
And concerning moderation tools, I know they’ll improve with time. But how can a federated system like Lemmy do certain tasks that Reddit’s Pushshift enabled? Example: bots detecting and deleting re-posts, spam, bad actors across multiple communities, etc.
I was. Then deleted the whole shebang. I rather write idiot comments than be in charge of anything, especially my own personal blog. I’m not interested in any particular niche that you can come chat about tbh. I am, but not really. I just like using lemmy as a journal lol same way I used reddit. But I do appreciate something when I see it. I love the small self starter vibe, and I can sort by all and interact with everything and entertain myself.
Libgen is great for popular books, but the above guide is amazing for finding basically anything else. I’ve often needed to load up IRC to find more obscure books.
I hear this one too and honestly, it does negatively effect them, they just don’t see it because it feels like it’s always been there. But give them ad-block for a week and then take it away…
I apparently have always used Twitter wrong since I mostly just lurk and people I follow don't get into flamewars or whatever they're called. It's kinda unrecognizable for me how you describe Twitter.
Mastodon on the other hand is just pretty dead for me. I haven't found that much interesting stuff and I don't really know where to look.
From my perspective, they function pretty similarly. I don't see the toxicity you're talking about. Quote tweeting is handy because it's not used to put down others but just, you know, sharing and adding something to the original tweet.
I get having megathreads, but currently kbin doesn't care whether a post on Lemmy is pinned, so megathreads make it harder here to follow news and discussions on the topic.
There seem to be a lot of problems surfacing with federation in general. Some actions seem to be taking a very long time to federate - if they ever do.
this is unfortunate but we kind of have to prioritize our users first and a lot of people are annoyed about all the reddit posts that clearly don't need to be their own thread
I’m more motivated to participate when there’s fewer comments. On Reddit I often refrained from commenting when I noticed the other commenters already covered the point I wanted to make.
Same here. Even subs (instances? communities? still figuring out the lingo, sorry) are so quiet I’m even posting actual posts. Or on news posts, I have a question about the content where on reddit someone will have already asked and I can just see what responses or vitriol they got.

IMHO the time travel is more the background for the La'an and Kirk episode.
They rush so through it that it doesn't seem to me the A plot.
The love interest between them developed to quickly in my opinion. It felt a bit unnatural, especially for La'an who is usually much more in control of her responsibilities and composure.
On the other hand … it’s Kirk after all, and she was just charmed. Part of it was having her heritage erased which allowed her to open up. Part of it also could have been that it’s just love at first sight for her and she knows it. It was quick, but the speed was consistent with the nature of what was happening.
There is such a thing as love at first sight, besides Kirk is a charmer who treats everyone with respect and he’s a highly accomplished officer. They were also put together in a difficult situation, which is a setting that can bring people close.
as well as that La’An hasn’t met someone since grade school that had absolutely no idea of her lineage. She’s a little broken in that respect, and it would make sense to me totally that someone would just absolutely fall for someone who not only didn’t treat her differently, but had absolutely no idea whatsoever why anyone would.
I agree with you but I think they were trying to get the setup across with her sparring with M’Benga at the beginning, and the doc saying something to the effect of it better not being alone? He’s already established to be a good reader of body language.
But I have to say I did sigh inwardly when the romance angle was hinted at (her looking at Kirk in the night). Would’ve been better to keep it back for something developed over a time. Though I suppose given the end there’s the possibly of a relationship with the Kirk from her reality?
