Of the people who say anything about it, there seems to be two mutually exclusive camps of people on Lemmy in regards to how it should be structured.

There's those who want it to be a drop-in replacement for whatever platform they migrated from (Reddit, ususally), with everything cultured in one simple, easy-to-browse place where there's enough activity to support diversity, just without the enshittification, even though the centralization they crave is exactly what invites the enshittification...

...and then there's those who specifically want the site to stay fragmented, because that's the whole point of federation, it keeps out all the riff raff, and prevents the platform from losing what makes it so great. But many of them complain about why it isn't growing as fast as they'd like it to, despite the fact that the fragmentation of community is by far the single greatest barrier preventing the mass adoption they yearn for.

Each one seems to want a piece of what the other has.

Appreciate the confidence boost but at present I consider it a feature, not a bug.

If I got married (somehow) and subsequently divorced, I'd probably have to do this with my fumos.

Not that I ought to be concerned, of course, given that my mere ownership of fumos renders the prospect of marriage entirely hypothetical.

It seems I'm miscommunicating. I'm being interpreted as saying, "We're already here, and this is fine actually." My point is "We've been on the setup for ages, you shouldn't be surprised this is where we are going without intervention, and we need to intervene right now".

The world hasn't slowly built up to being this bad. They've been laying the traps for a long time. We're in the late game, not the early game. There is a lot to undo.

You don't, though. Or rather, you don't own its contents. It's not being pedantic, it's simply correct.

This isn't a perspective shilling for big corp. If anything, understanding that society has already sleepwalked into a post-ownership era long ago, and that technology has only just now appeared to let the logical conclusion of that come home to roost, should only increase one's unease of mass unchecked corporate ownership.

I got a 1U rack server for free from a local business that was upgrading their entire fleet. Would've been e-waste otherwise, so they were happy to dump it off on me. I was excited to experiment with it.

Until I got it home and found out it was as loud as a vacuum cleaner with all those fans. Oh, god no...

I was living with my parents at the time, and they had a basement I could stick it in where its noise pollution was minimal. I mounted it up to a LackRack.

Since moving out to a 1 bedroom apartment, I haven't booted it. It's just a 70 pound coffee table now. :/

can you burn a Luigi board?

I'm surprised I've yet to hear of a homebrew industry of completely cutting out the microcontrollers and soldering in a Pi or something to drive the raw display. I don't predict it to be easy, but it doesn't seem completely unobtainable?

Flashing a custom bootloader would be even better, but I assume that hasn't been done because they got that shit cryptographically locked down at the chip level.

I think my purest moment of gaming bliss was experiencing completely blind the last handful of worlds in Super Mario Odyssey while buzzed with a few whiskeys. God, my soul was in orbit with that experience. Pure, unfettered joy and whimsy through and through and cinematically epic when it wanted to be. I wouldn't call it the best game ever or even my favorite game ever, but god damn it, it struck me just right way at just the right time. It was something truly special.

More games I will cherish will certainly follow, and have followed. But for that specific set of vibes and circumstances, I don't know if I'll ever top that peak from playing a video game ever again.

Ah, a gellow Ghost Trick enjoyer!

Ah. So it's a gauge system. Like steel plate or copper wire thickness.

5-gauge ham.

perhaps they should just lay square eggs
