Ohhh, now I get the top comment.

Np, just learned it myself right before posting this.

The Japanese pronunciation is why they wanted to call him Puck-Man! It’s apparently from a Japanese onomatopoeia for a mouth opening and closing, “Paku Paku”

I know… I’m in the same boat. Still though, could you imagine if they did?

The Enterprise looks great, of course, but all the space around it is absolutely beautiful. I bet that took some time!

I’ve heard the name before, but unfortunately I never really used those forums back in the day. If it’s still going, I might have to check it out.

I really want to see federated, non-corporate social media succeed.

Yeah, and it encourages self-censoring too, on top of the punishing effect of downvotes.

It’s frustrating because I really like the readable structure of Reddit-style platforms and find stuff that follows the Twitter model chaotic and disorganized. The classic forum style is fair, but it’s also hard to keep up with high activity threads unless you spend time to read the whole thing in chronological order. I don’t know what the ideal setup would look like.

They muted and permabanned me from the sub.

In my response to this post earlier, I mentioned that one of the problems (which unfortunately reddit shares too) is hostility to other viewpoints, and this is a good example of how that is perpetuated. When a culture on a platform is too homogeneous, disagreement becomes so shocking that it’s seen as “trolling”, “bad faith”, “offensive”, etc. I think it’s partially a symptom of the reddit-like structure of voting + active moderation, but it’s also very much the culture.

You presented your points well and fairly, and even if you hadn’t, I think we all need to get comfortable with the fact that normal humans sometimes interact in a manner that doesn’t sound like an HR mediation session, and that’s ok too.

They are far from the first person who has bailed on Lemmy because of the culture, and their characterization of it isn’t far off. I keep saying that Lemmy needs normies for longevity, because most people find constantly on politics incredibly exhausting and won’t want to join if they think it’s the lefty version of Truth Social.

I’m not saying people should avoid talking about stuff they care about, just that the platform could benefit from everyone being less hostile to wider perspectives and maybe also working on building up more content without a heavy political focus.

It’s incredible how easy it is to remain in a bubble. Family, friends, neighbors, college, work colleagues - all are going to be closer to you than the average person.

Anyone who has worked retail, customer service, or otherwise general public-facing jobs will have this put in perspective pretty quickly.

Can someone make this happen with mobile games please?

Shotguns and swords missing is so painful. They’re usually so reliable that it feels like a guarantee!

In Phoenix of all places?! That’s just cruel.

Oh my god, you mean I didn’t have to do all this manually? I’ve spent so much troubleshooting time fixing file names.

I’m not confident enough in my knowledge to ever open up my server externally, even after reading some methods that are allegedly safe (or relatively safe). I’d just rather not take the risk of me misunderstanding something or failing to keep current with vulnerabilities.

I suppose I see the appeal if Plex handles that without hassle, but man… not for $750. Lol

Wow, this is so much good info. Thank you

No, not yet. I took forever to manually rip what I have, which was a lot, and I’m still working my way through boxes of music (which I’m also hosting on Jellyfin). I’ll figure out that step next.

I didn’t get into self-hosting until recently, and people recommended Jellyfin, so I don’t even know what I’m missing with Plex, if anything. It feels like Jellyfin does everything I need.
