Okay so it’s not just me. Wild

We love old memes because they remind us of a time when we felt like participants instead of consumers in c/showerthoughts

You’re never too old to learn when to use where vs were ;)

I do like pugs but this is accurate af in c/[email protected]

Au contraire. I think these fuckers breathe a little too much because I turned to stone lol

The future is now, old man in c/antiquememesroadshow

I was double dipping on old memes by using the text from another old meme to describe this meme. It’s the future where you can find Heinz beans on the Internet old man!

This was surprisingly interesting! Thanks for posting it. I didn't think there was anything noteworthy to glean from it, but @[email protected] mentioned down below that USB doesn't have interrupts, which I was unaware of. I especially liked how he covered different types of USB keyboards running at different speeds, and he briefly covered n-key rollover, or the lack thereof on the two keyboards he had on hand as well as why some key combinations fail due to shared wiring in the keyboard. The latency discussion between PS/2 interrupting and USB being polled for data at the end of the video was also fascinating.

Edit: Ben Eater did a follow-up video on how n-key rollover works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lPzTU-3ONI

No worries! Usually the memes here aren’t so technical. I only got the joke because I was required to take a class on operating systems for my degree, and we covered interrupts.

I don't know if everyone here is just a galaxy brain or what, but I'm surprised nobody has asked or explained the joke. The red bird is a CPU running lines of assembly instructions and the crow is user input causing an interrupt to press the e key. This particular type of interrupt exists because it would feel really bad if you were typing, and the text didn't show up until several seconds later when the CPU felt like processing the (hopefully) buffered input.

Quality meme op

Nine Parchments is interesting. I didn’t know the developers of Trine have been keeping so busy

I found hunt showdown to be way too serious and difficult lol. I’m trying to stay away from pvp shooters as well. Great game if it’s what you’re looking for though

Helldivers looks interesting. Based on the trailer on Steam I’m getting a starship troopers vibe.

I have fond memories of playing Trine 2 with some online friends. We haven’t gotten around to #3 yet with all the shortcomings

Seems there are plenty of Reddit bootlickers lined up ready to oust all the protesting moderators. https://twitter.com/aaronp613/status/1668683335718035457

Worse still, the mods at r/Apple caved and voluntarily reopened instead of letting Reddit replace them: https://web.archive.org/web/20230616040715/https://libreddit.garudalinux.org/r/apple/comments/14al426/rapple_blackout_what_happened/

Inspiration for someone's Lemmy instance (Lemmy.Town) (lemmy.world)

I just joked with a friend they should make their own Lemmy instance. I got curious and checked Google Domains. I saw Lemmy.Town, and my mind immediately went to Richard Scarry's Busytown. Hopefully I'm not the only one here who remembers the old Busy Town educational video game!

Why does this keep happening? (self.lemmyworld)

I keep noticing three very strange happenings here:

Upvotes going wild for a bit before settling on the wrong values.
Posts sometimes refreshing showing the contents of an entirely different post.
Whatever this is where I'm viewing https://lemmy.world/post/163272, but it's showing me a removed pornographic post with the comments from https://lemmy.world/post/163272

I just ran through /c/lemmyworld and cross-posted everything I could find that's been locked in order of most comments since @[email protected] wants to keep /c/lemmyworld focused.

Let's treat eachother better; this isn't Reddit 2.0 (self.general)

I'm already seeing a small but distressing increase in behaviors that are frankly embarrassing.

There's no need to make what seems like an extra effort to treat each other poorly. Being "casually" antagonistic, dismissive, and instigatory for its own sake is miserably sad.

We don't have to migrate the crummy reddit culture, too. Let's leave it back on the dumpster fire?

Forget growth, lets enjoy what we have (self.general)

There is a huge emphasis I see on just growing community size and creating an alternative to reddit.

Back in the day we used to hang out in irc chats with 5-10 active users or forums with few thousand users max. I made friends there I visted across countries. Years after Id log in and people would ask how you've been.

I had a reddit account for over 10 years and I dont think a single person would recognize my username. Its always felt like people aren't talking to you but trying to appeal to the whole audience for points. Reddit exploits our psychology for attention but nothing humane is gained there. The super massive "community" ends up as a void where 99% of posts go completely unseen and any discussions suffer heavily from mod mentalities.

If this a place where even just ten people call home but feel good doing so, that is more good than a million being miserable. Maybe the best alternative is not to be reddit altogether.

Besides, good things have a natural tendency to spread, we don't need to focus on it.

Apparently there's an issue with some instances banning users for criticizing authoritarian governments. Is lemmy.world a safe place to criticize governments?

The blackout is starting to have a financial impact on Reddit, but we must stay dark! (www.adweek.com)

If the performance weakness continues for a week or two, the agency would start recommending decreasing spend with Reddit or directing it to other platforms.

After the blackout, we will be closely monitoring user behavior on Reddit and guide clients when we can unpause,” said Freddy Dabaghi, managing director at Stagwell-backed Crispin Porter Bogusky, which has asked clients to stop campaigns, depending on their client goals.
