votes were reasonably more private back then.

Not commenting on anything else in your comment except to say: Votes have never been private on Lemmy. The have been made more visible, but they were always just an API call away.

No, you're expected to block communities you aren't interested in. Curate your feed/all.

You said "banned you from the whole instance", which isn't something a moderator can do. Only admins can do instance wide bans, moderators are limited to bans from their own comms.

It wasn't unreasonable to think you were mixing up moderator and admin. Plenty of people did during the first reddit exodus, and still do.

Good old Jonathan Coulton. Guy who did the closing songs for Portal and Portal 2.

Everyone has to portray themeselves within the bounds of "corporately acceptable" for so much of their fucking time that it becomes easier to just stop context switching and let those parts of yourself atrophy.

Given your recent posts?

No. Just go no contact. They're 24 years old. They're going to cry. Breakups usually hurt, and that's ok. It's ok to hurt sometimes.

He is not your responsibility to fix. He didn't respect you or your interests to begin with. If he's worth breaking up with it's worth just going no contact.

No, they don't, at least not the site wide admins.

This community is part of dbzer0, so if you were banned from the instance you wouldn't be able to post here either.

It looks like you pissed off on moderator of a bunch of comms and they banned you from all of theirs. Based off another commentor's link, this seems to have happened when those comms were being hit by waves of drive by downvoting so you may have been caught in the cross fire.

It's dbzer0, and that's the instance this comm is hosted on. So no, none of the Admins of the instance "went schizo".

Looks like a mod of multiple comms maybe.

I have this printed out at work and at home specifically to try and help counter that. Can't really say that it's working though, lol.

I usually have to argue in terms of time savings from eliminating surface for human error.

Excuse me? I didn't say fucking anything about keeping this from being political. I suggested some extra patience and room for nuance when judging the voting populace on the actions of their elected officials.

Beyond that, did my phrasing about getting your scope zeroed fly over your fucking head? Only clipped your ear maybe?

To make it crystal fucking clear: I told you that your take is absolutely fucking ghoulish to direct at the victims and I stand by that. Go after the fucking politicians with all you fucking have, not the people who have lost their kids.

That's it. None of this fucking essay you've imagined into my motiviations. I'm done, so feel free to crazy up some more shit I never said. Have fun with it. Go nuts.

Spite/Fury has been a good one for me in the past, in addition to those.


"How in the fuck was this ever allowed to get to this point? There's no way we can keep up with this unless we change the approach. I'm automating this shit whether they like it or not."

Write an entire chunk of code to handle some edge case that shouldn't exist, but does because people are stupid and make typos on critical shit, in one single frustration fuelled fugue state.

 

Like all the best technology departments, I'm a one man army rockstar. That's a problem when I'm a bottle of everclear deep into my holiday plans, and I don't think I can get away with hiding another replacement cellphone in the budget if I throw mine in the lake again.

So how do you guys keep everything running while you're out?

 

This old youtube poop has ruined Le Mis for me. Sends me into the giggles. Can't believe this poop is 11 years old. An absolute classic from DaThings.

Prisoner 24602064^5^1! You're no one. Lol. Your time is up ^and your time is up^ and I'm Javert! You know what that means.

It means I'm free~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e~e~e^e^e.

No.

Spooky stuff that helps explain a lot of the dysfunction flowing out from Microsoft.

 

From the Jet Set Radio Future Soundtrack. Whole thing is great, along with most of Naganuma's tracks.

 

Yoko Taro is the creative director behind the Nier and Drakengard series, and he has released a lot of supplemental material across a variety of mediums over the years in Japan. Accord's Library is a site that is dedicated to finding this material, archiving it, and translating it.

Today, in Accord's Library Discord, they announced that they received a Cease and Desist from Square-Enix, and on Oct 31, the Library and Gallery sections of the site will be closed and taken offline.

Announcement TextDearest Recorders and Observers of Accord's Library.

These past few years have been a pleasure, but we regret to inform you all that we've been contacted by the Square Enix Legal Team. And after some private communications, based on the outlined requirements we have come to the conclusion that Accord's Library must close its doors by the end of the month. While we are sad to have to go, we also must respect the wishes of the Legal Team.

The Library and Gallery will remain opened for the next 2 weeks and will be officially closed on Oct 31.

We hope to continue spending time with you all, and other fans in the future through our Discord Server, which we plan to keep opened.

On behalf of the entire Council for Accord's Library, we sincerely thank you for your support and friendship over the years. We hope that you will continue to use the discord, though we understand if this is where we part ways.

From the very bottom of our hearts, we will be forever grateful to everyone who's volunteered their time to help build Accord's Library into what it was. Thank you to all of our Transcribers, Translators, and most of all, all of you for sticking with us.

Take care of yourselves out there. Glory to Mankind.

If anyone is skilled with backing up sites, any assistance would be appreciated. Even if it's just to point at the right tool for the job (been almost a decade since I've backed up part of a site).

Shoutout to !helloharu@lemmy.world making the original post.

 

Now that romhacking.net is (effectively) dead, what sites are everyone using to keep up with new releases?

Have any of the fan continuation projects really risen beyond simply rehosting the DB that was put up on archive.org?
