Kevin came later than Aunt Sheryl and her husband. I am sitting, waiting patiently. As Kevin walks into the room, Aunt Sheryl looks horrified and goes completely silent. Her husband asks if everything is okay and greets Kevin courteously. Throughout dinner, my aunt acts super suspicious and Kevin acts uneasy too. Her husband, bless his stupid soul, doesn’t see any of this and starts actually bonding (the stupid man!). Soon after we finish dinner, we all decide to drink some beers and watch the game. Aunt Sheryl complains of a headache and retreats to the guest bedroom. Kevin also wants to leave but Aunt Sheryl’s husband goads him into staying for a bit longer. Kevin reluctantly agrees.
Back on the site-that-must-not-be-named, u/shittymorph would wander subreddits randomly and drop a comment that seemed relevant, but devolved into a diatribe about a 1998(?) pro wrestling match in which The Undertaker threw Mankind off the top of Hell in a cell, 16 feet into an announcers table.
Damn, I feel like I just channeled him to write that comment.
In 12 years, selfhosting will be so cheap and one-push-button easy that everyone will have their own instance and federated with each other. It will be called Neo-Geocities 2.0.
Well, not really the same thing but I saw this the other day. I think it is awesome, but that is probably only nostalgia talking. It is a geocities website for the current day!
Ha I am actually still friends with people I met on G+ as well. Before Pokémon Go Niantic had a game called Ingress and we organized teams and strategized on Google+ groups and chat. I don’t know how google messed it up honestly with the way everyone with gmail had an account…you could chat and there was audio and video calling that worked pretty well. It was also very clean and modern for the time. Oh well, Alphabet.
If it’s anything like what “All” shows me, it will be mostly furries, sissies, anime, and 196 with just a splash of conservative. Unless you block it, Lemmy got some weird shit yo.
I really want to get this to work! I tried to install The Hell 2 myself in Lutris and I see a result similar to yours: I can hear music and see a blank screen and a crash follows soon after. Different Wine versions & settings seem to make little/no difference.
I closed Lutris and reran from the terminal with lutris &. From there I could see that when I run The Hell 2 I was getting the following error:
ERROR: ld.so: object ‘libgamemodeauto.so.0’ from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored
Internet searching for that error lead me to people with similar issues: unable to start games with this error appearing in the background. I found multiple pages which suggested that the reason for the error is that the game requires a 32-bit version of libgamemodeauto.so.0, and that doesn’t come preinstalled on some distros. There are instructions explaining how to uninstall/reinstall to get the 32-bit version. I’ve followed those instructions and when I run The Hell 2 I no longer get the libgamemodeauto.so.0 error but I still see the blank screen + music followed by a crash.
I’ll keep thinking about this. In the meantime you can check whether you have the 32-bit version of libgamemodeauto.so.0 by running ls /usr/lib/*/libgamemodeauto.so.0. If you see an entry mentioning i386 then you’ve got them - otherwise not.
By then I predict the big corp news media will report on Lemmy like it’s the new 4chan. Unmoderated instances that no major instance links to will give them plenty of ammunition. Non technical users will believe it to the frustration of all Lemmy.
Not trying to be a downer when they attack you, you know you’re winning
Google+ was so weird, for a considerable amount of time it was invite only, you needed some form of connection to get in – turns out this wasn’t great as they assumed it would be. I can only assume that is the reason they pulled a massive U-turn and decided to foist it upon anyone and everyone after the fact, which, it would appear, was also a bad idea.
It had some cool features, like how you could group/rank who you were following. It was just missing users
I think the best allegory I saw was someone trying to get into an exclusive club with a really long line. They finally get in and the place is empty so it sucks
I’m wondering if Bluesky is doing the same thing to itself
If I recall, they’ve just finished up a round of seed funding. I’ve heard precious little about the project itself, though. You may be on to something.
Google+ was the home of the online TableTop RPG scene out of whatever reason. We used hangouts for videochats back in the day, because you could directly stream them to YT, which was also favoured by the RPG Streamers at the time. It was wild, Google Hangouts frames were hot shit to portray your character stats and stuff. I really miss those times…
