The Y2K issue was real, but a lot of people spent a lot of effort to fix it before it became a problem. The dire warnings were exaggerated, it was never going to end the world, but the problem really did exist and it really could have led to some pretty serious issues especially with financial institutions.

If you’re the type of gamer that gets sucked into Rimworld, then Dwarf Fortress will very likely consume you.

I once experienced a site just silently truncating a password that was too long. Such a ridiculous thing to do. It was several years ago, gaming related. I think it might have been Ubisoft, but I’m not sure that I’m remembering that correctly.

I’ve started carrying it more recently during times when money is tight. Helps me keep from overspending.

Even us elder millennials often don’t carry cash. I’m so elder, I might as well be gen-x. And until recently it had been years since I carried cash.

That deck appears to have a kickstand. It’s hard to see, but it’s just to the right of the cable.

Many people misunderstand. It’s not that Orange Cats have a single braincell. It’s that all orange cats on the planet share a single braincell among them. At any given moment only one orange cat may be using the braincell.

I haven’t tried these so I cannot comment on their quality. But this has a list. Of particular note is RetroArch, OpenEMU, and Gens as three FOSS options.

Edit: Also, alternativeto.net is usually a decent source for finding alternatives for specific software. Here’s the list for Kega Fusion alternatives. This has some more options than the other link I provided.

The tooltip for fedipact says: “Agreed to block all communications (their blocklist is private)”

To me that says, they’ve agreed but it’s not confirmed that they’ve gone through with it because the blocklist is private. Blocked on the other hand says “All communications are blocked”

IIRC Exanima itself was never meant to be the full open world RPG. It was always intended to be a smaller game to perfect some of the game mechanics for their ultimate goal of building that open world RPG. I have no idea if they still plan to build that other game or if they are working on it in parallel or have ditched it entirely.

Edit: The community seems to believe that the devs are still planning to make Sui Generis at any rate. Exanima has been in EA for 10 years or so now, and based on what I’m seeing online they are almost at their 1.0 release version, at which point they will divert their attention to to Sui Generis. Take with a pinch of salt, as this information comes from the r/exanima community on reddit.

When I set up mine, I created a separate /data mount point and drive for anything that I expect to keep between distros. The problem with keeping the home directory is that means all your personalized config files which may or may not apply to a new distro you switch to. I keep configs I want to keep in a git repo (like my i3 configs and scripts that I absolutely wouldn’t want to redo from scratch), data I want to keep in /data, and everything else can pretty much be wiped for a new distro on a whim without too much hassle.

It’s a fork bomb. It exponentially forks processes in the background in an attempt to consume all CPU cycles.

I frequently have that problem with redgifs on the website too. Even when I go directly to redgifs. Just earlier today, I was browsing and more than half the gifs I was trying to view failed to load, or were very slow to load. I’ve been having this same problem with redgifs for as long as redgifs has been a thing. I don’t think the issue is with Sync, but with redgifs.

I had a similar problem with one of my displays going wibbly like that every time I rebooted during POST and system boot. Only going back to normal once X started.

When I checked my monitor’s display settings when it was wonky, I found that it had the refresh rate set to 14hz and really strange resolution. Turns out it was the display port cable. Replacing that fixed it right up.

Your spoiler tag works fine on the web client. That is the supported way to do spoilers on Lemmy. However, Sync, if you use that doesn’t support Lemmy spoilers and only supports reddit spoilers. Unfortunately no matter what spoiler method you use, it will not work for someone, somewhere. There is no unified spoiler markup across the fediverse, but there really should be.

I saw this getting traction on Tik Tok a few days ago warning rightsholders they have until, I think, Mar 5th to pull their content from the platform.

I just tried again now with JS enabled and my ad blocker enabled in Firefox, and it seems to be working ok now.

Whatever the reason, this appears to be fixed now.
