- Comment on 'We Thought It Would Be Fun': Nintendo Has a Whole FAQ on Why It's Selling Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Separately for $20 Each - IGN 2 minutes ago:
Yes, but not mainline Pokémon games.
- Comment on 'We Thought It Would Be Fun': Nintendo Has a Whole FAQ on Why It's Selling Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Separately for $20 Each - IGN 4 hours ago:
Never in my life have I been as excited about a video game release as I was in 2004 for Pokémon FRLG.
Now I haven’t touched them in a long time and have no idea why anyone might be excited about games we already know everything about. But then again there are children out there who are the same age as I was in 2004 and they might never have played FRLG on the GBA.

TBF these are games that were originally released with separate cartridges for each language, so this isn’t an especially surprising thing.
- Comment on Meta: Can you please not announce every single porn community you create 16 hours ago:
If I interpret this comment and this comment correctly, this may be a feature of PieFed that automatically (or with a checkbox?) announces new communities to this one, so the people who are doing this might not be completely aware that this is what they are doing and might end up not reading this post.

- Comment on Humans' behavior about LLMs is the same as animals with a mirror: they believe there is "another" in there. It's just their reflexion 1 day ago:
Except it’s not my reflection, it’s a reflection of millions if not billions of humans.
- Comment on Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black? 2 days ago:
A piece of paper is white at first. After you’ve drawn colors on it, you’ve made it closer to black. If you draw in many different colors, it will eventually be black.
A screen is black (emits no light) at first. After you’ve made it emit light, you’ve made it closer to white. If you make it emit all colors at the same time, it is white.
- Comment on If you called someone "skinface" it would feel like a huge insult even though it's meaningless and people's faces are made out of skin. 2 days ago:
any word can sound like an insult if you say it with the right tone, I think? Isn’t there a song somewhere on YT about words that aren’t technically slurs that makes that point?
- Comment on If the next pres. is a Democrat and wants to roll back all of Trumps bullshit. How can they do that quickly and efficiently? 2 days ago:
They can’t. Judicial appointments are for life. Laws require another majority in Congress to repeal again.
The place they’d have the most power over is the executive branch. They could rescind executive orders, replace staff, etc.; but “all of Trump’s bullshit” isn’t possible, never has been for any previous president.

- Comment on Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned 3 days ago:
Yes, if they pass laws creating liability for their operators, or regulating that they have to verify ages or identities, etc.
- Comment on Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned 3 days ago:
I post articles from many sources I come across that are somehow interesting or make good points in relevant communities, including ones for countries if the articles are about those countries. I have no intention to stop doing that.
- Comment on Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned 3 days ago:
Back in the old days we used to run forums and mailing lists for people of various interests. People used to make their own little idiosyncratic places full of creativity. I miss it so much.
Me too, friend. Me too.
The central reason why we can’t have it anymore is that governments around the world have regulated it away. One example being what the article in the OP is about. 🙁

Hi, I am from an instance no one ever seems to talk about and when reading these kinds of threads I am glad I made that choice. 😁

- Comment on mastodon age verification 3 days ago:
Everyone on today’s internet is directly exposed to regulations like GDPR, the Digital Services Act (DSA), the Digital Markets Act (DMA), and lately numerous age verification (or assurance) laws and related social media bans for minors.
How, how, how did we manage to stray this far from John Perry Barlow’s dreams? Is there any good left in the world?

- Comment on What was your social media path? 4 days ago:
phpBB-like bulletin boards (first one I became active on was based on something called UBB which I’ve never seen elsewhere) -> wikis -> IRC -> instant messengers (although I’d sporadically used those before IRC already technically) -> reddit -> lemmy
- Comment on Why am I able to edit communities that don't belong to me? 1 week ago:
On YOUR server you can do whatever you want. You are the admin, so it’s logical that you can perform any action whatsoever on your local copy of everything that has been copied there. (If you couldn’t through the UI, you certainly could through manual changes in the DB.)
Nothing you do because of this will be successfully federated to anywhere other than your server. That would be a major security issue, after all anyone could maliciously set up a server and make random changes affecting everyone.
- Comment on Do you ever feel guilty for trying to sign up for government assistance programs? 1 week ago:
No one should.
Think about how much you’ve paid in taxes in your life. What could possibly be wrong with trying to get some of that money back?

- Comment on You board a train, board a bus, and board a ship, but you don't board a car 1 week ago:
I think it has to do with the fact that in the first three, you can (and do right after entering) stand up (like on a ship, probably where this was first used), while in a car you immediately sit down?
But ultimately this is a trait of the English language, in my first language (German) we “steigen ein” in all of these.

Me, absolutely. At breakfast buffets you may have to stop me from eating way too many eggs.

The random place in your head is likely a CGP Grey video about animal domestication. 😁
- Comment on Why do some users have zero upvotes on their posts/comments? 2 weeks ago:
Yes it does. It is possible to comment on Lemmy posts from Mastodon if the posts were for some reason federated to a Mastodon server.
