  • I don’t know if the reverse is a new thing or if it’s always been like that.

    Here’s a comment in a lemmy issue describing mastodon images not appearing in lemmy from last year. Since the issue was closed three days after 0.19.3 released I had expected it to work in the next version 0.19.4, but it appears that was not the case.

    Edit: While I’m here, I noticed piefed also doesn’t support it, so was considering opening an issue to support attachments, but I imagine there wouldn’t be much desire to do so until mastodon integration is more of a real thing? though I think other software does it, like Plemora/Akkoma/Iceshrimp, I didn’t check but did see the code for it being discussed for plemora at least




  • Excited for the Cassette Beasts update next week? I’ve been checking to see if it’d go on sale for a few weeks/months now but I’m guessing it isn’t likely to with a major update on the way. Not sure if I should pick it up or wait for the next sale, how are you finding it? Been wanting to play a creature collector recently after watching so much Persona 3 but haven’t wanted to go back to my digimon/persona playthroughs






  • I recently watched DansGaming play through this last Halloween. Was interesting to finally see what all the hype was about as everyone had asked for it every year. As a fan of point-and-click games, it was interesting to see something in FMV and what they did with scenes to blend the real and video game aspects. Story-wise it felt a lot more coherent and suspenseful compared to Harvester, but didn’t quite blow me away either. That might be too harsh, the music and set work obviously was done well, perhaps after nearly 30 years of other video game media the storyline just felt a little, expected.


  • In the end it’s mostly an agreement on how moderation actions should and are allowed to propagate for activity pub groups, which you can learn more about here https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/1b12/fep-1b12.md#group-moderation

    The tl;dr is there’s a set way of saying these specific users are allowed to send actions such as delete on these specific posts, and software that implements groups (communities, to lemmy) ideally implement it in the same way. Of course, someone could always make a software that denies all remote moderation actions for instance, so it’s always up to those implementing the AP spec.

    Lemmy has a large userbase, so generally probably gets to decide a lot of these things, such as how moderators are listed when getting information on communities, and other software will have to choose to follow along to be able to work with the large userbase or raise concerns/give feedback if needed




  • What gets to me is the “Thanks in advance”. I might be alone in this, I asked a co-worker and she said it just seemed like normal dialogue, but I interpret that as “You don’t have a say in the matter, you will do this, your consent is not needed”. Granted, the people who say this to me are my boss or director, so they’re right, I don’t have a choice. But if I wanted to be reminded of reality, I wouldn’t play so many video games.
