Probably another replay of the parable of the Nazi bar. But as the end of the article says, people who don’t want to hang out at the Nazi bar will just go elsewhere.

At least if things get to that point, we'll hopefully have had some time to really build up places for those people to go.

I definitely wouldn't be surprised if there's a notable overlap there. Probably not a stretch to imagine that the technically-minded users would be more in tune with the protest.

Glad to hear about your successes in the trip! I'm still incredibly early in my own studies, but I've heard the best way to study listening comprehension is by regularly consuming media in the language. What that looks like might change depending on someone's particular interests, but I've really enjoyed putting on Japanese Twitch streams in the background for games I already know (or don't have any need to know, like competitive esports).

As expected, quite a lot flew over my head. But I was also surprised by how much I picked up on, both from the gradual improvement of my more formal studies and also from the loan words that tend to show up when talking about games. And I'm able to leverage my existing knowledge of the subject matter to just let my brain do what it can to contextualize what it's hearing.

The classic! For me, I gotta give it to Heavens Divide from Peace Walker. Such good music to pick from across the series.

Both phenomenal picks. The Bomberman 64 soundtrack is dear to me since I used to speedrun that game for quite a while. The euphoria of the staff roll hitting has never gone away. And Katana Zero is great for getting the player in to a flow state. I love how visceral it gets on some tracks, too.

Absolutely, it's an incredible soundtrack. It does so much heavy lifting on setting the game's ambiance and tone that I couldn't imagine it with anything else.

I've noticed the same situation in some threads on my own instance too. But I'm under the impression that it might just be backlogged on the responsible instance that's supposed to send out the federated content. I've noticed this when just having my home feed set to New and then suddenly seeing like thirty posts from lemmy.world come across all at once with widely varied timestamps.

I suppose the best way to test if this is the case would be to note down any threads that are missing substantial amounts of comments on your local server and then check back with that thread periodically to see if and when they start to fill in.

Absolutely gonna be checking out that Sea of Stars demo later. 👀

That's the real killer for me. I didn't like Reddit's API business decision, but when they think they can just lie to everyone about the entire situation surrounding it that's what's getting me to nuke my accounts and ditch the platform completely.

Utterly disrespectful.

I had a strange issue where the Store interface couldn't be interacted with until I swapped to the Library and back again. I side-stepped the issue by just telling Steam to always open to the Library tab on launch which is honestly preferable behavior anyways.

Whoa, what a cool project! It seems like way more than I need for single-user purposes, but I've been relying on Moonlight, Sunshine, and Chiaki quite a lot more than I ever expected to since I ended up taking quite a liking to using the Steam Deck as a pseudo thin-client. Kind of the best of both worlds letting another machine do the heavy lifting somewhere else in the house, so any advancements in the local game streaming space are extremely welcome to see.

I snagged a couple of VPS from Racknerd in the Black Friday sale. One of them became a home for my Mastodon instance and now the other gets my new Lemmy instance. No issues to speak of with them yet, so I'm perfectly happy with 'em.
