Lemmy moment

I wonder what’s the largest that defederates with the most.

Almost definitely beehaw

I also wonder what’s the largest that gets defederated the most.

Probably exploding-heads. If not, then lemmygrad.

Definitely sh.itjust.works. The largest instance that defederates with the fewest other instances (though they could still do better here - there’s no reason to defederate either exploding-heads or lemmygrad), no email required on sign up, and a super chill vibe.

For me it’s anything I have to download an app to operate.

“Framerules” in Super Mario Bros. speedrunning on NES is probably the most memed analogy for a (very slightly) more complicated concept I know of.

The game can only send you to a new level every 21 frames (about .3 seconds), so there are tons of levels where timesaves don’t lead to any benefit, because you have to save a full .3 seconds in order to see any benefit.

In the community, this has been explained with the same analogy so many times that “Imagine there’s a bus” has become a well-known meme.

So, imagine there’s a bus that only leaves the station every .3 seconds (21 frames). Because the bus only leaves at the times on its schedule, arriving early for the bus doesn’t get you to your destination any faster, because you still have to wait for the time the bus will leave. For this reason, any new time saves in SMB1 must reach a new “framerule” (get there early enough to catch the previous bus) for there to be any real timesave.

… you yeet them off a cliff in your “documentary”?

Dune. While there’s no way to perfectly capture the magic of the intricate machinations of (Frank) Herbert’s universe, the movie gets about as close as anyone could, I think. The only thing in its league is Jackson’s LOTR trilogy, and I think Dune is at least as good if not slightly better. Can’t wait for the second (and hopefully third!) one!

It’s a Lemmy thing, not just on jerboa. I just sort by “top day” to see the top posts from the past 24 hours. Once I’ve seen most of those, I switch to new all, which keeps a decent amount of new content coming through.

The platform is still young, so it’s a combo of a) not enough content yet and b) early sorting algorithms that paradoxically haven’t caught up with the influx of users yet.

Dark Reader is what I use. I rarely notice it slowing down page load times, and it hasn’t been enough to bother me so far. The thing about it that does bother me is the rare occasion when specific websites look weird with it, but I can just turn it off for those specific sites and it’s fine.

Deplorable. Obviously inevitable, but deplorable nonetheless. Definitely not going back to reddit now.
