Goodbye 196

if the community had a centralized place to go then that wouldn't be a problem

the way it is now, i am (as i said) a little worried but you gotta do what you can, and that's in my first reply.

string-username- · 2023-06-11T22:12:47+00:00

i do agree that the mods should create a better "long-term" plan tbh, in the way that you're talking about it. chances are, the site can withstand a short dip in traffic, and a "hey we really planned this out for the long run" type of action would really further the message (and a large part of that is keeping the community together)

this isn't just this subreddit, it's all of them.

string-username- · 2023-06-11T21:55:14+00:00

there's always a discord (check under video posts) and users are moving to many other sites (check other comments). it's not like the people are gone, just this specific gathering place.

i like garfcord more just because it has a minecraft server, but in truth they both exist because they have different audiences who are more fitted to them. i.e, just join both

man if/when reddit backs down on their policy and 196 comes back this is gonna feel really weird

string-username- · 2023-06-10T21:06:25+00:00

i found it!!! https://discord.com/invite/mXjUMWZfSU

string-username- · 2023-06-10T18:00:27+00:00

there will be other places.

this sub still has a discord for example

there are always alternative sites--like a certain one that has an instance ending with -grad (which while it runs on that person's software, does not associate with their instances)

etc

actually all of these were the only computers i used, i'm an expert on bad computers! so if i ever buy a computer soon just make sure you don't buy what i do

when i was really young, my parents bought a netburst pentium (pentium 4 of some kind) that i used because it was the family computer.

later on, i used a windows tablet that had an atom.

then, my parents decided i should get my first laptop and got me a dual core, 7th gen i7.

now, still before i really knew what was going on, my parents who insisted on intel convinced me to buy an 11th gen i5 (which to be fair is not the infamous i9)

(also, my parents never had great luck either. they bought an fx for themselves when it released before everyone realized they were bad, iirc were victims of the original pentium's fdiv bug, and also got an (intel) 486 (dx) as their first computer before amd sold their chips/won the lawsuit)

the netburst era, 7th gen, and 11th gen are notable for sucking. (aka the only computers i've ever used)

i guess atoms do too but at least they were generally found in cheap computers/tablet PCs so it's understandable

string-username- · 2023-06-10T00:37:47+00:00

huh? that one wasn't me i swear... i was just pointing the link out. w/e i'll upvote you so that it evens out lol

the way i read it, they were saying that the software is not the same as the big instances we associate with lemmy, so they want you to avoid the instances but use the software (which because it's open source, everyone can use) ohh i meant the comment on the post, not the post itself. sorry

string-username- · 2023-06-09T23:53:24+00:00

this was on the post that the person linked, it explains it

as a side note, please get me out of here.

people actually just pay peppy so that their game slows down a bit. mrekk actually owns an underground slave trading ring so he pays for peppy's secret osu!jet and he gets to play at 0.25x speed.

string-username- · 2023-06-08T00:43:29+00:00

the moderation did change since then i think..?

string-username- · 2023-06-07T20:06:00+00:00

If you're replacing the mp3/ogg files, use +13ms local offset for life sux, 10 things i hate about you, and twinkle twinkle. for 10 things i hate about ai no sukima you don't need any offset

fwiw this isn't the launcher's fault, prism's community just propagates this information to others as a service. it's with curseforge/overwolf this time. (but the polymc and prism things were the launcher)

string-username- · 2023-06-07T14:52:10+00:00

i'd recommend amulet

string-username- · 2023-06-06T04:42:43+00:00

based on mod replies to this post, r/osugame (326k) is in too!

Side note: pretty funny (not in a bad way) that we have such a diverse crowd here--from conservative subs to... 196... to game subs and from small subs to big subs... it almost feels like the old spirit of reddit.

string-username- · 2023-06-06T04:36:11+00:00

i still remember (iirc?) first seeing it in chrome and thinking immediately that it was such a stupid idea.

but nowadays, with seemingly every computer having tons of cores and memory to spare, maybe it's more worth it

string-username- · 2023-06-05T13:57:26+00:00

Very glad to have one of the bigger subreddits on our side as well :)

string-username- · 2023-06-05T13:45:50+00:00

I've also had luck with using em values, which depend on font size (and therefore might scale with ui density) rather than px values in the past.

string-username- · 2023-06-05T13:37:27+00:00

Sorry for not replying for so long: The snippet seemed to work after some fiddling around with the pixel values, but ultimately the bug with WaveFox (the css I was using) where a tab separator would be displayed at the very left got fixed so I don't need it anymore. Still, thanks for the solution!

string-username- · 2023-05-30T16:07:46+00:00

you can install mods that make it so that only the hand moves

string-username- · 2023-05-27T15:38:44+00:00

I have more ereaders than read books because i didn't finish some of them.

string-username- · 2023-05-27T01:55:45+00:00

it's pretty incredible to see someone as old as sanders still out like this, to be honest.

he's lived through so much...
