It’s not about education at this point, it’s about regulation. Without mandates and penalties there is zero incentive to change for the large corporate polluters.

Do you know if the new Messages “check-in” feature works with Android users? Or is it an iMessage feature only for other iPhone users?

I was briefly a moderator of a sub with a few thousand subscribers, the amount of spam alone made me give it up. It’s relentless and never stops. The only thing that made it tolerable was the mod features in Apollo. I can’t imagine what it’s like with some of these really active communities with millions of subscribers. People just don’t realize how prevalent the spam/harassment truly is online, and Reddit screwing over the volunteers who clean up that shit is enough to keep me off for good.

The only things I can think of are

• You are misremembering something. Maybe it was a different Pokémon you saw, or you battled someone with it (although I looked and didn’t see any trainer in Leaf Green with a Murkrow...) Or you played someone’s Fire Red and conflated the two.
• Non-genuine cart with a hacked ROM has exclusives from Fire Red added.
• An unknown/undocumented glitch caused you to encounter it.

The latter two seem unlikely and the first one seems most plausible to me. I don’t mean any offense and I’m not trying to call you out. Just feels like the most likely explanation.

The games don’t forget which version they are so that can’t be it. It’s not a single ROM that gets marked as red or green, each game is compiled and built to be what it is on the cart.

Other than that I really can’t think of what it could be. I agree, searching around online I haven’t found anyone or any glitches to explain that happening. Weird!

You can prevent this by adding a credit card to your account. It “upgrades” your status, and then as long as you stay in the free tier allocations you won’t be charged.

I read somewhere that Lemmy.ml has basically maxed out its VPS with its provider, so they’re stuck for the time being, whereas Lemmy.world actually just upgraded its server hardware. Hoping they’ll migrate to a beefier server soon.

Pokémon Scarlet. I’ve got a bunch of the ominous stakes to find still, I was really trying to not use a guide but it’s been a few weeks now. Even with the performance issues I still really enjoy the story.

I also still need to get back to grinding for all the master trainer titles in Pokémon Let’s Go. We’ll see, as I get older it’s harder and harder to finish games at all.

The majority of Reddit's 57m users do not use 3rd party apps. In fact I'd argue most don't (or didn't) even know you could use a 3rd party app or understand why you'd want to. To them Reddit is just the app. So yeah, of course they're not participating in the protest.

I don't expect Reddit to go away or to be adversely impacted by this movement. But I'm not going to worry about what goes on there, similar to how I don't have a FB account and I don't worry about what the 1B other users are doing. I left Reddit for myself, if other people continue to use it then so be it.

I was with you until the end there. Really uncalled for to call someone disgusting and wish harm upon them because they have a different opinion than yours.

If you read the article, it’s not about rich people seeing homeless folks, it’s about vandalism and open drug use on the sidewalks. You don’t have to be rich or white to feel uneasy while stepping over bodies sprawled out on the sidewalk or walking by human waste and needles in the bushes the next morning.

Perhaps there’s a middle ground like keeping the Wi-Fi on but requiring login with a (free) library card.

If it works anything like Mastodon, server instances may ban entire other instances from posting and interacting with their community. So you can't just create a terrorism instance and expect to be able to spam every other instance. For accounts on each instance, the admins will have to ban them just as any other account.

It is a pretty massive map. I used an online guide for determining the order of which gyms/star bases I would battle, and just explored from there.

I hope lemmy.ml can upgrade at some point. A lot of the slowness I'm running into is trying to browse/discovery communities that happen to live on that instance.
