It runs pretty well! Linux certainly helps a little by being lighter overall than Windows, but everything works great on Fedora. I haven't had any issues. Dolphin runs well too.

I think so too. ☺️

I’m using Pikmin 2 as my rainy weather or too hot right now activity. ☺️

Thanks! I’ll check those out.

I love both games, but personally Pikmin 2 is my favorite. I really like the treasure hunting mechanics they added and the dungeons.

It’s a PowerA Nintendo Switch Enhanced controller. ☺️

I think most of it has to do with that lemmy.world has better hardware than other instances. The admin Rudd has a lot of experience running federated services as well. So it may be his first rodeo lemmy-wise but not hosting a federated service with a large user-base.

So when a lot of smaller instances started getting overwhelmed and stopping signups, lemmy.world was going strong without the performance issues that other instances might see.

That along with the fact that NSFW content is allowed makes lemmy.world a good alternative for Reddit refugees looking for something stable with a similar set of rules as well.

I myself joined lemmy.ml at first, then beehaw.org when lemmy.ml asked everyone to spread out, and finally found home on lemmy.world because I didn’t really like how downvotes are disabled on beehaw. Not to mention the defederation that beehaw has done recently. Although I can understand and appreciate why they’ve done that.

I’ve mostly been using lemmy now, but I am still checking back on Apollo from time to time, just to see what’s going on over there.

Lmao. I relate to this hard.

They do certainly! And what a perfect pair. 🥰

I’ve been getting the urge to rewatch Karate Kid part I, II, and III. It’s been a while since I’ve watched them.

Can someone explain why port forwarding is such an important factor? As in why is it a sought-after feature for a VPN?

I like this way of putting it. It’s like that post that was around a few days ago discussing lemmy as being “CEO-proof”.

It’s not really I guess, but if an instance got big and started being unfriendly/unreasonable to users they could just go to another instance and still be part of the federation.

This is a neat infographic! Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely. I think mine is still around somewhere, but the screen has a pretty substantial crack if I’m remembering correctly.

How have you found Lineage OS? I was curious about FOSS phone OS options a while ago.

I loved my nexus 6 back in the day (which I believe was made by Motorola). I miss it sometimes today.

That’s neat by the way: using the edge part of the screen as trigger buttons for Citra.

Yeah it’s a familiar story isn’t it? :/

As for where to post your art: I’m not sure what is the most effective these days, but I’d definitely see if you can find some communities to post to here on the fediverse. I think they’d appreciate your stuff and you could cross post to a few communities across instances if I’m not mistaken.

This made me think about how much I miss the video store!

There was something really special about going out as a family and browsing all the cover art. Copies of Star Wars were always rented out at ours. Memories of renting a Godzilla movie you’d never seen, begging your dad for candy and popcorn on the way to the checkout counter. Good times. I miss them. 🥲

Yeah I’m having a lot of crashes too. It also seems like notifications aren’t working for me/aren’t implemented yet.

It’s looking good though and I guess I’ll switch between web and Mlem while all the bugs are ironed out.

Ahhh I see. That makes sense.

I guess a bunch of big severs downloading everything from smaller servers would also create an issue too just like the other way around huh?
