stack overflow is great if you want to be berated, given an irrelevant solution, and then have your question closed as a duplicate incorrectly

that Piastri kid is gonna be champ someday, assuming he doesn’t get unlucky with bad team/car choices

yeah it sucks that F1 basically dictates how the tires are manufactured

my only wish is that Pirelli is somehow able to create a tire that does not require the blanket warmers

the sorting algorithms definitely need some work, I try to use 'Hot' but it constantly shows me posts from 1+ year ago

and multi-reddits were the only way I used that site once the feature was created so that would be a very welcome addition to lemmy!

that’s awesome!

The Blackberry Bold was probably my favorite line of phones

equalise the engines and fight amongst yourselves we have aero advantage anyway

this is what it sounds like, Red Bull has Adrian Newey so might as well neutralize the engine advantage that Ferrari or Merc could possibly have

mlmym does have their own site where you can login with sdf credentials, or maybe that's how you generated your screenshot?

I used it for an old.reddit.com nostalgia hit, but it was kinda flaky because I couldn't post or comment a few times without some error

I do think alternative frontends would be cool to have on lemmy, but that would also increase maintenance work for the admins to keep it updated and whatnot, so I sympathize if they only want to have the 1 official frontend to maintain

Unsolved Mysteries was another good one! Not sure if they aired that in the UK or not

Intro Theme

websites that force login or have a paywall

pasting in the text, or linking to an archived version would be my preference

Non English articles

Ideally I think the original language + a DeepL style translation would be best. That way if the translation doesn't sound right then people can still grab the original text and try a different translation service or ask a native speaker for clarification

Social Media Content

I'd prefer a screenshot to avoid login-walls, also sometimes the original content gets deleted so this preserves it. a link to the original in the post body or a comment would be nice though in the event people want to browse to it and favorite/share it, etc.

looks amazing!

I only played the original AC and just a little bit of AC2 so I'm really interested to see if this version is 'easier' to control. I would imaging so with full and proper dual stick usage

FromSoftware has been killing it for a while, so I kind of have high expectations for this one

anytime I saw a thread on reddit with 1,000+ comments I didn't even bother to add my own view

I do like how pretty much any thread here on the fediverse is small enough that I feel like I can make a comment and participate

 

Available now!

HYPE!!

 

I just created a community where people can discuss old internet or software topics

Topics can be sites/fads/software/games/memes or any general happenings that used to occur on computers way back in the day.

You can think of this as a sister community to the retro hardware community !retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

here are some links you can use to find us!:

retroNET

!retronet@lemmy.sdf.org

https://lemmy.sdf.org/c/retronet

 

I unironically used this theme when I was a kid!

what kind of themes did you use to customize your operating systems or software?

Did you keep the standard themes or did you spend hours customizing the look and feel?

 

let's spread the love so other instances/communities can be discovered easier

here are a few I recommend:

!retrocomputing@lemmy.sdf.org

!selfhosted@lemmy.world

!steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

!hockey@lemmy.ca

!moviesandtv@lemmy.film

 

I have a lemmy account on lemmy.sdf.org

When searching for communities to join I can see several in the list from lemmy.ml and beehaw.org

but while searching for some communities that I know exist on lemmy.ml or beehaw.org I am getting no results

will a community from instance A only appear in search results on instance B if a user from instance B has already manually subscribed to that specific community from instance A?

basically, there is no scraping of 'all available' communities even when two instances know of each others existence? only 'specific communities' are indexed when a user has manually found/subscribed?
