I'm unclear on the exact parameters of it, but there's an issue open for it. SJW is my home instance, so maybe that has something to do with it?
Kind of seems like reaching the point where counterfeiters could make fakes as good as the official ones was only a matter of time. The solution probably isn't just making them more difficult to copy. You'd probably need to tie it to a digital identity provider.
Although honestly I think "just make our drinking age more in line with what Europe does" would solve a lot of this.
Well when they're saying there's 2% odds, that's....probably still higher than you want for the probability of a world ending asteroid strike.
I mean, it's likely that it wasn't capcom us rejecting the japanese design. Far more likely that Capcom JP didn't share marketing materials with US branch and left them on their own to figure out how to market it. Japanese companies not taking any interest in how things were localized for other markets was completely the norm during that time period.
If you want a company that actually did have the US and JP branches actively warring with each other, Sega is the company to look at.
Are there endless wars? A lot of people don't like .ml, lemmygrad, and hexbear and they're defederated by a lot of instances, but that's not really a hot war. Outside of that most drama seems to be about certain mod/admin decisions. But that kind of feedback loop is by design. People are supposed to have opinions on whether they think instances are well run and aligns with what they're looking for...and if it doesn't align, that would be a good reason to switch instances. I see more fretting over how to make Lemmy more popular than arguments about instances.
They make it sound less like a bug and more like apple made a breaking change in how IAPs work.
Been there. Tastes good anyway.
I use parchment paper, personally.
I'm curious how well polished the stuff you get off of soulseek is. Private music trackers have pretty strict standards for uploads, which generally means making sure that everything is organized consistently, that all tracks are tagged correctly, and that things are encoded to high standards (filtering things like bad transcodes). If you're having to manually check all of this stuff, it would be pretty time consuming for a large collection.
OPS is probably the one you want. RED has more selection but also a very difficult economy. OPS still has a great library and the economy is far more manageable. Of course you will still need to build up a ratio if you're planning to download a lot
You might want to get on a general tracker like TorrentLeech that has 0day scene releases. But you won't find as good retention on older releases. It works as a nice supplement to a more selective tracker.
You mention that PayPal was bought by eBay (in 2002) but not that it was spun off again in 2015. They're separate companies. If anything, Venmo is a competitor of PayPal.
There's a major incompatibility with newer versions of the Lemmy software where Sync shows a comment count but cannot display the comments. So at the moment I can't see any comments from posts hosted on sh.itjust.works. I know that there's other less severe issues too (I think spoilers are semi-broken in some instances).
Defaulting to any one instance would be against the goals of federation, I think. Much better to have a centralized site to help people find an instance that uses factors that wouldn't bias too much. Perhaps pushing towards "general purpose" instances that would make geographical sense. And then you could highlight instances that cater towards more specific groups. But I think the goal of this would be to spread users across many instances rather than funnel them all towards one.
I might propose having something things like server ping be a factor, and capacity of the instance. Perhaps instances could also be shown with their largest communities so that people could see the vibe of the instance before they join.
Me too but it's semi-broken right now and hasn't had an update in a long time. I really don't want to switch, though.
I like how you have somehow managed to avoid encountering unflipped manga until today, and yet still think you know the best way to present it.
Just saying that to a certain extent, I can understand how a fan might say "yeah he says crazy nonsense all the time you shouldn't take it too seriously" but this doubling down makes that an even more untenable position.
Because it's japanese and japanese is often written right to left. You can't make it read left to right without changing the art. People who read manga understand the convention. It's surprising if you haven't run into this before given the popularity of manga now.
He doesn't seem to have a very firm grasp on reality so I could easily see people not taking some of the shit he says seriously. But yes he already gave plenty of reason to cancel him.
Apple basically killed any chance ogg had by not supporting it on ipods. Which was unfortunate.
