Fair, but "working" is still a condition I put forth as desireble. Whether or not it not working is asklemmy's fault or jerboa's fault, it doesn't "work."

I'm not accusing you personally of sabotaging lemmy, we're all cool here, I'm just saying "a working search function would be a good thing to have inside all communities on lemmy" and I'm not sure why that would be controversial.

But as we all know the greedy capitalists can't keep milking the same old cashcows if the users have a permanent copy that they can potentially also distribute so that won't happen any time soon.

Might I introduce you to a greedy capitalist invention called reels, vinyl records, cassette tapes, 8track tapes, VHS, DVDs, Blu-ray, game cartridges, and game disks.

What you say won't happen any time soon was the way it has worked since the invention of cassettes until "we all" decided that netflix was better than blockbuster. This is the consequences of our own actions as consumers, relinquishing physical discs that can be burned in favor of digital only copies controlled by their companies, held on their servers. My DVD copy of Kung Pow! Enter the Fist can't just be taken off of my shelf like netflix can take it off their server, nor can they take the mp4 with commentary and extras stored on my external hdd ripped with handbrake to bypass the DRM attempt.

And frankly, I'd personally rather pay for a physical copy, but a "free" digital copy as you suggest I'd also settle for. I can resell the disc though, and I can do so after I rip its contents.

The "search asklemmy" link that loads my "local" tab in jerboa? Hard to call that "working" imo.

Weeellll when you click that link in jerboa it just loads your "local" tab, so I'm hesitant to call that a "working" search function.

Oh shit I'm a programmer?!

(I'm not, but this is me rn trying to make a mac script to interface with a weird piece of hardware work on linux without really knowing what I'm doing, and nobody on this obscure piece of hardware's discord really knows either evidentially, and nobody's bothered to figure it out until now but we're trying! Coincidentally, I miss reddit's bash help section, do you guys know another spot I could post some code and get some help on it?)

We really need to get a search function so this post can stop being asked 1x daily by some new refugee.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad y'all are here and it moves a lot faster than 2y ago, but every day with this question, and no consensus has been reached. We should all just stop "asking" and let time tell us what we call ourselves, some word will win eventually.

Good to know, thanks!

Zoey startled the witch.

Well make sure to use unique login info, from what I hear the IPT guy has been known to use people's info to get into other trackers when they had poor enough opsec to use the same pass/email. Iirc there was other stuff too, IPT isn't accepted as proof by most other sites and I'm sure people will chime in here with more sketchy things from the site, but I don't remember. Still I have no other option until the day when I get another option lol.

I'll put my hat in the ring.

I seed, I have a 1.5 ratio on IPT and I didn't buy it. I do use the bonus points but I mean, c'mon, the'yre there!

Been looking to get off IPT though because of the owners sketchyness, so I've been recently looking for a new "home."

Or a club to the fucking head.

(For legal and animal cruelty reasons this is a joke.)

We're doing vintage memes now?

But make sure to use version 2.54 or newer.

Me, running Fedora 38:

Why are 4y old posts with no comments so "hot" right now?

...'chumean? This is a picture of the new(er) xm855A1 round, the "smaller one" is just the bullet pulled from the casing. So in a sense they're both the same "one" of two.
