Goodbye Youtube and thanks for all the fish
  • I use safari with an adblocker extension (AdGuard) on ios

    youtube works just fine in a browser, the youtube app sucks anyway

  • 2023 Qatar Grand Prix - [RACE] discussion thread
  • that graphic showing how many laps on the current stint is going to work overtime today

  • Piastri loses 3rd place in Qualifying while giving interview
  • the beginning of the interview was funny as well

    Naomi apparently didn't know Lando's lap time was deleted and she asked Oscar 'why am I talking to you?'

  • Unity apologizes to devs, reveals updated Runtime Fee policy
  • I'd been using Unity off-and-on for more than a decade, even published two crappy mobile games back in the day

    this recent kerfuffle led me to find Godot and I actually quite enjoy it. so even if Unity did a full reversal I can't see myself ever going back to it

    I had no idea their CEO was from EA, so in a way I'm glad all this happened as I learned quite a bit

  • Webamp: cross-platform implementation of Winamp 2.9
  • oh interesting, hadn't come across that project before

    thanks for the tip!

  • New Nintendo patent suggests Switch 2 may solve joycon drift
  • does the switch pro controller use different joysticks than the joycons?

    my joycons have drift but the pro controller, which I've used more often, is perfectly fine

  • Every time you click on this link, it will send you to a random Web 1.0 website
  • wow scary stuff! going back into lockdown immediately!!

    A recently noted medical phenomenon involves small amounts of DHMO leaking or oozing from the corners of the eyes as a direct result of causes such as foreign particulate irritation, allergic reactions including anaphylactic shock, and sometimes severe chemical depression.

  • Can't see posts from hexbear
  • probably a federation issue

    I have the same problem with kbin.social magazines (well, m/mma which is the only one I care about)

    tried asking on both platforms and didn't get much traction

  • Frasier - Top 50 Niles "Burns"
  • I remember seeing Frasier as a kid when it first came out and I thought it was a boring show for old people

    Then I ended up watching it after recovering from surgery a few years ago and it is easily one of my favorite shows of all time

  • The Armored Core 6 preload is live on Steam
  • thanks for the heads up, loading it now!!

  • To test or not to test, a technical perspective
  • thanks for sharing these articles!

  • How do i stop this kind of pop up from ever appearing again? Win10
  • man, so many old school internet references will go unnoticed on lemmy :(

    holds up spork

  • The History of Windows 2.0
  • Nice article!

    Blockbuster Gumball Machine $10 at neighbor's garage sale
  • what is proper cross-posting etiquette

    if you want to cross-post the same exact image to a different community there should be a link at the top of this post to cross-post (if using the desktop web ui), it sorta looks like a copy icon

    but if you wanted to use a new photo then I think just creating a new post over there is probably easiest

    I've gone ahead and subscribed to that other community, hopefully it gains some traction. I enjoy seeing old finds from yard sales, etc

  • Blockbuster Gumball Machine $10 at neighbor's garage sale
  • the only general community I could find while searching is this one, but it appears to be completely empty

    kinda surprised there isn't a generic vintage type community, maybe there is one out there somewhere!

  • Out of Print Archive - classic video game magazines
  • ha, I used to go the grocery store specifically to read entire magazines

  • The TV streaming apps broke their promises, and now theyโ€™re jacking up prices
  • just ordered a nice OTA antenna so I can watch my local channels, anything else needed will be purchased for exactly 1 month and then cancelled

    I've also started looking at smaller streaming services like CuriosityStream and MagellanTV cause I'm more interested in documentaries and such instead of the latest weekly tv dramas

  • TMNT: The Last Ronin (The Game) - Reveal Trailer | PS5 Games
  • was probably planned from the start

    TMNT is one of those franchises where they can make comics/tv/movies/merchandise all at the same time for cross-promotion, like the movie that just came out (even if it isn't directly related to The Last Ronin)

    I've been meaning to read the comic so I guess I'll move it higher up on my reading list now

  • Out of Print Archive - classic video game magazines

    found this account on Mastodon and seems like a cool project trying to preserve some nice video game history

    what magazines did you read as a kid? EGM was my favorite

Footage shows clouds forming, rain starting, damp track, puddle formation, sunshine, drying line, drying track and more. A few different tracks are shown, including Daytonaโ€™s roadcourse.

    Lemmy's active users appear to have stabilized over the past two weeks

    According to https://lemmy.fediverse.observer/dailystats

    Lemmy has ~67,500 daily active users over the past two weeks (it did peak at around 72,000)

    How do you feel about the activity in your communities?

    Do you think it will take another 'event' on some other website for more growth, or do you think Lemmy can grow naturally from here?

    Or are you fine with the current activity and don't necessarily see the need for more users at this time?

    Did anyone play Darkstone back on the PSX?

    I had not played Diablo at the time so this game was my introduction to the genre

    It was only $10 brand new which was awesome for a poor kid like myself

    federation with kbin still extremely flaky?

    is anyone else having federation issues for kbin 'magazines'?

    I've been subscribed to m/mma for a month and posts/comments do not come over to lemmy in a timely manner (or at all in some cases)

    I'm not sure if the issue is on the lemmy side or the kbin side so I don't even know where to check or submit an issue

    Is there a community on this instance for discussions on Testing (be it Unit/Performance/Interface/Automated/etc)?

    took a gander around and didn't see anything at first glance

    I'm not sure how much activity there would be, but it'd be neat to have imo
