I’m queerly the 'Leigh you searched for! 😉 I do tech things, enjoy pinball, try to draw, make a little music now and then, occasionally jump in the ocean and breathe underwater, and marvel at how I’ve lasted this long in this world. Trying to do my part to make it better.
Trans demigal (she/her)
Probably for reliability and stability — otherwise, every view from every federated instance would create a new request to the hosting instance. The protocol itself would basically DDoS smaller instances. Also you can still read the cached version on your home instance if the remote instance is temporarily down.
Um Jammer Lammy. There’s a scene in the game where she uses a chainsaw to cut down a tree and build a guitar, leaving a stump — oops, I thought you were punning on that! 😆
Never heard of that one before, but clearly I need to find out. 🙂
Bwahahaha brilliant! 😆
passes you a marshmallow
Sam and Max Hit the Road?
While replying, look for the icon of an exclamation point in a triangle below. I had to search for it too!
The sun blew up. Again.
Pokemon, but which version…? 🤔
Magic the Gathering? No one said it has to be video games, right? 😆
I was going to guess “Gone Home”, but then I looked at the hint. 😅
My guitar’s in my mind!
Very much feel the same! “Beat the game” made more sense back when it felt like the game was trying to defeat you, whether that was for more quarters in the arcade or for more perceived value at home. But I switched to saying “finished (or completed) the game” a long time ago as the general nature of gaming shifted over the years. For story games with multiple endings, I might say I “finished it” if I don’t plan to go back and see other branches, or “completed it” if I got all endings.
I too am curious if this an age-related tendency or not, I’m in my 40s.
Wouldn’t it be better to simply never give the tv a wifi password? Or am I missing something here?
Also, Roku is also quite bad about data collection and selling, IIRC. ☹️ But the only real choice seems to be which company you’ll let collect the data, not whether they can.
Sure, but has John Mastodon weighed in yet? 🙂
With everything new we learn, this sequel is looking better and better. I’m hype!! 😄
You’re asking if it has rumble specifically inside the triggers, not just in general, correct? If so, I can confirm the Pro 2 doesn’t have any such feature. And if the Ultimate did, they’d probably say so on their website, so I doubt it does.
Ah ha! Thanks! 🙂
I get a 404 error when I try to view that community from my home instance, but it definitely exists… I suspect it’s because the community has no posts at the time I’m writing this, maybe federation doesn’t work without any?
It’s unfortunate that a handful of replies here are demonstrating exactly why the Beehaw community leaders felt they had to make this choice. 😞
If Lemmy instances are like web forums, federation basically gives us a “Sign in with your [home instance] account” option. (That’s not technically accurate at all, I’m only talking about the user experience.) It reduces user friction and helps people participate more widely. They just stopped allowing that from certain instances because they think adding a bit of friction back in will be healthier for the Beehaw communities. If you’re on one of the defederated instances, you aren’t banned. Yeah, it’s inconvenient for you, but you just need a different sign-in (at least for the time being).
