I fear we’re going the idiocracy route. Lower and lower intelligence of the population in general.

The removal of the custom thumbnail is refreshing. No more wired reactions with an arrow pointing at something.

I’m going to give this a try. The sponsorblock people have great ideas!

I’m realizing that a few weeks ago I wanted a lot of people to flock to Lemmy and away from Reddit. At this point I just don’t think about Reddit anymore and find myself hoping Lemmy doesn’t get too popular because of everything that comes with that (trolls, meme posters, bots)

There’s currently a bug with “hot” and “active” where old posts remain at the top. I don’t remember the details but it’s getting fixed in v.0.18 (which is already in release candidate 4).

There are two solutions until the fix is released:

• get your server admin to reboot the server everyone in a while. This seems to temporarily refresh the content.
• use “new” or “top day”. That’s what I’ve been doing.

If I’m not mistaken, you can download your logs directly from the dashboard under manage > troubleshooting.

I know I know. Just thought it was interesting that they had the same thought process in the article too. 😄

Is it giving you any kind of on-screen message? What about the logs? Is this Direct Play or Transcoding?

I know some players don’t handle HDR very well, but that’s usually related to bad tonemapping.

How does Proton VPN compare to Mullvad? I’ve been using them for years and they really are anonymous. You don’t even provide an email to create your account.

The article did address this:

The internet loves roasting “boomers,” the shorthand term for the Baby Boomer generation born in the ‘50s and ‘60s. Admittedly, most boomer shooter fans are likely Gen-Xers and Millennials, but they’re still co-opting the term in a sarcastic but positive way that conveys the old-school nature of this niche genre.

It all comes down to it rolling off your tongue better.

I’m not too sure which story is true. I’ll stick to both sites as a reference to be safe.
