It’s not clear what’s going on. Several major bugs (crashes and blank community lists) have gone unfixed. There’s been no activity for a few months.

I do hope the developer is okay.

Hey, @[email protected] any updates? Hope you’re okay as things have gone a bit quiet.

Hi Cameron,

I thought it might be a good idea to explain how to join the Compuverse matrix rooms.

https://conduit.compuverse.uk is the address of the Compuverse home server. Rather than a link to the space or rooms

If you open a client such as Element search won’t find the space or rooms because it’s not part of one of the default networks. What you need to do is tap search, tap switch, then tap +, enter https://conduit.compuverse.uk in the box and tap Go

You’ll then see the Space and Rooms, tap join to join. The rooms will appear in your chat list from now on.

Cameron, would it be possible to provide an invite link? Then people could just click it to join in a client they already have?

Hi

For example the Avelon community has a lower number of comments and votes than when I look at it from a different instance

This post https://lemmy.world/post/6717293 has a score of 72 when viewed with an account on lemmy.world but only 5 when viewed with an account on compuverse. Also most of the comments are missing

Thanks for looking into it 🙂

Thank you for the explanation. These technical things happen so thank you for persevering.

I am so pleased to see compuverse back.

But there seems to be federation issues. I don’t think we’ve been defederated but comments and votes aren’t federating properly?

Getting a bad gateway error?

I can’t quite grasp this. It seems to be one LLM produces a tool that others can use. That doesn’t seem much different to, eg using a compiler on a powerful PC to produce optimised code for a less powerful microcontroller.

Just don’t ask where the protein for the protein synthesisers in Star Trek replicators comes from!

I’d forgotten that. I miss the good old BSOD.

The thing is, the cells in your body are constantly dying and being replaced. So you are not 100% the same person you were even ten minutes ago.

Having said that there’s a short film on Dust that presents a different angle. (I must look it up). The people that are transported come back ‘changed’ because of the experience. It’s disturbing.

 

What would you choose?

For me it would have to be a teleport/transporter. Especially, something like the personal teleport seen in Dr Who, The Tomorrow People or Star Trek Discovery.

I would like to visit distant lands but get badly travel sick.

 

Why does every printer I’ve had or used, with any version of Windows, stop connecting after a while and need setting up again ? (We even get this at work with networked printers)

Is it printer support in Windows being overly complex? Poor printer drivers? Poor printer firmware ?

 

I’ve used the word machines because in the UK at least retro gaming is as much about computers and electronic games as it is consoles.

So my favourites:

1970s Binatone Pong clone built into two controllers. One held batteries and the other the chip and RF modulator. (Close second was an LED pool/snooker electromechanical game I can’t remember the make)

1980s ZX Spectrum. Just excellent gameplay (see Head Over Heels, Batty, Glider Rider etc)

1990s DOS Games too May to list

2000s GameCube. At the time under-rated but now appreciated for some excellent games

This is really interesting. I’d been an Android fan for years but moved to iOS and have been impressed with how privacy conscious it is.

Hello everyone,

I’m Phil and I’m excited to be here.

Although I’m an electronic engineer, I’ve actually worked in other fields for the last 25 years. In my spare time I enjoy trying to fix retro tech, retro gaming and occasionally programming.

I hope to have many discussions with you all
