first thing came to my mind are the tachikomas from ghost in the shell for some reason

Don’t forget to supplement with fast thrown rock

Anger? You mean winning a lottery when we’re all living in the underhive for a chance to elevate to the factorium level.

An amazing TIL. Thanks!

It’s baffling how the Japanese brands just fumble electrifying the kei car class. Seriously Toyota, Honda and Suzuki has a strong foothold in my country but the fucked up and conceded to the flood of Chinese EVs. I mean I’m glad that we have the choice of cheaper EV from the Chinese but it’s still kind of sad personally to me.

Aw geez, wish I can help more. But IMO the dev is very aware of this. IIRC when 5.2.4, this current latest version, dropped, I remember seeing in-app popup pointing to that GitHub issue that the dev opened.

Could be related to this issue.

I can corroborate that when I turn off my custom DNS it works swimmingly, until YouTube figured out to block my IP again.

A well made katana is still going to be a status symbol. They might still keep it for keepsake and for reminding them of home that they cannot return to. And if you have marshal prowess why not be a mercenary? And if you’re in foreign land and they are already using firearms, you have to adapt.

It sounds plausible to me at least.

This is good. I want them to succeed with this. This way it could tell Elecom to open-source their mouse firmware and that could make their trackballs more accessible. Come on, Elecom, I need an improved Deft Pro, with open-source firmware!

tbf as a kid I sometimes chew on aluminium foil wrapper of candies (back when they wrap some candies in aluminium) to extract the last dregs of candy. so I kind of can empathize lol

Lovely site. Easy to follow, but I might be biased lol

I’ll be sharing this with others in my groups

Sounds like it will be torture for passengers

I jumped to another piefed instance that doesn’t have that shit. A shame about the comms held hostage in .social though.

IIRC the implementation also effects how users receive votes for posts and comments, not just the users giving it

IMO the greatest strength of piefed is the built in on-boarding to kick start your subscriptions to not feel so empty (since you don’t have any communities subscribed yet or you joined a smaller instance) or too overwhelming (since you joined a big instance and browse All). I signed on piefed.social a year ago and that is what made me stay over the last 2 attempts. A solid foundation to replace the algorithm in reddit. The crosspost support and collecting comments from same posts in different comms is the brick walls and cement for that foundation.

And when the vote quota shit happened, I jumped to .zip because they practically disabled it (IIRC it cannot be turned off, but zip admin just make it impossibly high. It might have changed by now idk (regarding can’t be turned off))

and from some mentions I’ve seen occasionally piefed also has better mod tools. don’t quote me on that, can’t really vouch.

Don’t have to install anything. Some instance make it the default though, but I think most front end like Voyager or Alexandrite (or tesseract since we are discussing it) you can visit their web page and point your home instance to use their UI.

Edit; I’m copying a comment someone else made here https://piefed.zip/comment/6322459 since it’s pretty consise than what I explained 😅

It’s a frontend. So literally a skin to make a website look prettier and more organized.

Imagine a waiter starts telling customers what foods they are allowed to eat. He wasn’t the chef, the manager, the owner, anybody.

That’s how stupid it was.

It kind of is, considering it’s still an app of sorts, but using the web browser. I just keep using “front end” because that’s what others call it. I see it like an app. but yeah, it’s to change the UI if you don’t like the default lemmy UI.

Hmm. I learned something today. Thanks. I think.

bottom face/hands,

I usually don’t like to play the “English as second language” card, as I take great pride learning it, but I need to for this one lol. what does this mean?

It’s a front end to change the UI of lemmy, and others like lemmy. you can see some examples of others here: https://www.lemmyapps.com/ . Filter by web app to see some of the other popular ones.
