Has anyone given Silo a look on AppleTV+? I’m a big fan of the books that it’s based on but I’ve heard very little in regards to the show. Opening episodes got decent reviews but I wouldn’t mind a normal person’s take.
For any dairy intolerant or vegan people here you can get a similar effect by clarifying a vegetable spread like Flora and adding salt until it tastes ‘buttery’ enough for you
Currently watching strange new worlds (star trek), lovered the first series and now second is out. first episode was but too "action hero" but second was ok, third ep this week is apparently time travel which can always be a bit hit and miss
Lemmy isn’t going to “die” anytime soon, it has already been around for about 4 years now, it’s not going anywhere…
Maybe activity will significantly slow down, maybe it will go back to being a super small community, but I don’t see it completely getting killed anytime soon.
Have you tried using ZeroTier? I don‘t have much experience using Tailscale but have been using ZeroTier for two years now without any problems. Runs great on Synology
Strange New Worlds has been a hit, and for good reason. I’d say that’s a worthy starting point. Lower Decks is really fun and full of references that might entice you to revisit earlier series (but really shouldn’t hinder your enjoyment.
I tend to think new viewers should just start with whatever’s present, meaning the “new” stuff. Of course there are some older series that are also good starting places (if you are primed for their more episodic nature, something younger viewers may not be familiar with).
If you’re just getting into Trek, start with TNG season 3. Follow that up either with TNG seasons 1 & 2, or jump into Voyager.
For a darker Trek, watch DS9 - but be aware the first few seasons are very uneven and it gets a LOT better. It’s arguably the best of all the Trek series and well worth the investment to get past the first few seasons.
Enterprise was ok. It’s held up well, except for the theme song which was always trash. Don’t watch the series finale - just, don’t.
For the new series, SNW is the best of the live action bunch. Picard S1 and S2 are steaming piles while S3 was enjoyable and what S1 should have been. I personally enjoyed S1 and S2 of Discovery, while everything past that was truly terrible IMO. Prodigy was really good, if you can get past that it’s geared towards kids (which is obvious from time to time).
I don’t really see how you can force/verify another instance has purged their DB. Like the worst case scenario, they can simply make another DB for all the deleted info.
Such purge is harder to ensure than for large companies. Since large companies are (mostly?) Bounded by laws like GDPR. Where such law is harder to enforce on a random fedi instance on the internet.
doesn’t AGPL give some ability to verify? i’m pretty sure it stipulates that you have to distribute the code a network server is being run with. it would at least let people know if an instance has taken steps to keep data it shouldn’t be keeping.
If a server don’t obey GDPR, it is unlikely for them to obey AGPL. If the data is useful for the company, they will just pay the fine as cost of doing business.
i guess? we’re talking about copyleft licenses though. GDPR might be fuzzier because technically you don’t have an account with any instances your account is federated with (i assume), but AGPL is the license for the federated service itself. if they don’t provide their code, they are violating the terms of the license. that opens them up to litigation i think. i don’t know though, legal shit is very much not my wheelhouse.
This script allows you to choose an instance with few blocked users so you can see most content without feeling like you are missing out. Communities only share their content after a user subscribes, so a self-hosted instance is only useful if you manually subscribe to everything you want. It’s better to choose an existing instance with some users who have probably already subscribed to those communities.
the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, just good platformers; first one hasn't aged as well as people think, if you don't enjoy it skip ahead to 2 and come back later if you feel like it
The Lost Vikings 1 and 2, fantastic character-switching co-operative (but playable solo) level-based puzzle-platformer; don't play the sequel on newer platforms like PlayStation, they tried to modernize the graphics and only succeeded in making them hideous, stick with SNES
Star Fox 2, as long as you enjoy dated 3D and poor framerates, this is the most ambitious 3D game on any 16-bit console, with a very replayable campaign full of hidden unlockables that differs on each play
Super Mario All-Stars & Super Mario World, just an enhanced compilation of 4-5 seminal 2D platformers; while you could use save states on the NES versions, the SNES versions all support native saves, so easier to pick up and play
Tetris Attack, nothing to do with Tetris, just a match-three puzzler with deep, engrossing mechanics that can keep you interested long-term; also Panel de Pon with a translation hack if you want more
Top Gear, fantastic competitive racer with the line-scroll road effect you know from classic arcade games like OutRun and a killer soundtrack; pick the white car
Yoshi's Island, another classic platformer
Mega Drive/Genesis
Gauntlet IV, better than the arcade original, this is M2 (now known for developing emulators for many classic systems) flexing with some RPG mechanics added to the traditional Gauntlet gameplay
The Lost Vikings, SNES version is better but there's a few brand new levels in this one if you want more
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 & Knuckles, basically the first Sonic that noticed it's a home game, so it has saving and improved replayability with multiple characters, paths and unlockables
Game Boy
Donkey Kong, this is not a port of arcade Donkey Kong, it's a full-blown puzzle platformer you can play one level at a time
Kirby's Dream Land 2, easy-to-finish platformer but with tons of content if you're playing "properly", using the sort of rock-paper-scissors logic to use the right powers to enter the secret areas
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins, just a proper "mid-period" (SNES-esque) Mario platformer which you can play over as long as you like
Game Boy Color
Balloon Fight GB, predates Flappy Bird by literal decades but like if that was a proper game with a campaign
The Mummy, based on the Brendan Fraser movie and an awesome Konami puzzle-platformer with short individual levels and password save (use save states on emulator), super underrated
Pokémon Puzzle Challenge, Tetris Attack but with Pokémon if you prefer that theming
Wendy: Every Witch Way, based on some kind of comic book I think, developed by WayForward who developed the Shantae games and then branched off into Yacht Club Games (Shovel Knight), Wendy is a gravity-flipping platformer where you're in control of which direction is up or down
Game Boy Advance
Advance Wars 1 & 2, adorable turn-based strategy war game with a campaign based around small, self-contained levels, except for a few huge ones
Drill Dozer, developed by Game Freak (Pokémon), is a sort of level-based Metroidvania platformer with lots of backtracking to older levels as you unlock new abilities
F-Zero: Maximum Velocity, the only true sequel to SNES F-Zero, don't at me
Game Boy Advance Video: Shrek, endlessly replayable
Metroid: Fusion and Zero Mission, they're Metroid games
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 e-Reader version, I think you can get this officially on Switch somehow, but you've been to the Internet before; this officially-released modified version of the original game includes a bunch of brand new levels previously distributed only on scannable cards, I'm not telling the whole story but they remix elements from the first four mainline Mario games into basically a whole original game. This is New Super Mario Bros. this is Super Mario Bros. 5, still don't at me
