Yes.
- Comment on Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me 4 weeks ago:
Redlib does that but it’s a game of cat and mouse these days. Facebook fought off web scrapers and while Reddit is much less technically competent they’ll get there too eventually.
- Comment on Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me 4 weeks ago:
Reddit makes browsing without account harder and harder. I assume the end goal is a walled unindexable garden like Facebook or Discord.
- Comment on Reddit infiltrators, need a shortened Lemmy link to evade Reddit filtering? DM me 4 weeks ago:
I assume those who were interested enough could whip out a script to do that easily until Reddit disabled API which is the moment I lost interest in the platform. I don’t know how people do it these days without getting accounts suspended for automated traffic but it’s something you have to consider and probably the reasons why such tools are not available widely.

Reddit won’t show you that your comment was removed by a mod and shows removed comments on user profiles (unless they had to be nuked for legal reasons). If you suspect you’re shadow banned or if your comment was quietly removed you have to check for that from a separate account in that comment thread directly.
- Comment on Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement" 5 weeks ago:
Having user supply some copyrighted software that they should own (like BIOS or decryption keys) is entirely different from an emulator or a homebrew project taking and integrating copyrighted code. They’re lucky Nintendo didn’t sue them into oblivion like that modchip guy because they really could.
- Comment on Wii Homebrew Community "Built On Lies And Copyright Infringement" 5 weeks ago:
Whelp, they’re lucky Nintendo didn’t care enough. Wondering what prompted this?
- Comment on The History of 120 Star's Early Era 1 month ago:
Added channel name to the title which I usually do, but forgot to in this case. People who’ll be interested will probably know if they want to see it since Summoning Salt is a household brand but for others it might be a bit too niche and that’s fine too.

Wondering if we’ll see X68000 core one day, I’m very interested in that Japanese Amiga.

It can’t be stopped this way but this is just some friction or increasing barrier to entry to discourage it. Most people are lazy and will just drop it as not worth the effort, and the most persistent will be annoying no matter what you do.

- Comment on Does Anyone Else Find the Sega Genesis' Sound Annoying? 1 month ago:
I didn’t mean audio filters but you’re probably using Kega, right? Might want to check Genesis Plus GX core in Retroarch. See the docs here: docs.libretro.com/library/genesis_plus_gx/
By an off chance it’s also possible that something weird is happening to sampling rate, like your digital output only works at 48khz while Genesis outputs 44khz. Makes it sound horrible for sure. Happened to me on some occasions on Mac with a modern USB-C display recently (but like in general and not emulators).
Mega Drive/Genesis FM[genesis_plus_gx_ym2612]
Select method used to emulate the FM synthesizer (main sound generator) of the Mega Drive/Genesis. ‘MAME’ options are fast, and run full speed on most systems. ‘Nuked’ options are cycle accurate, very high quality, and have substantial CPU requirements. The ‘YM2612’ chip is used by the original Model 1 Mega Drive/Genesis. The ‘YM3438’ is used in later Mega Drive/Genesis revisions.
- MAME (YM2612) [mame (ym2612)] - Selects MAME (YM2612) [original Model 1 Mega Drive/Genesis] as FM synthesizer method which is fast and fullspeed.
- MAME (ASIC YM3438) [mame (asic ym3438)] - Selects MAME (ASIC YM3438) [later Mega Drive/Genesis revisions] as FM synthesizer method which is fast and fullspeed.
- MAME (Enhanced YM3438) [mame (enhanced ym3438)] - Selects MAME (Enhanced YM3438) [later Mega Drive/Genesis revisions] as FM synthesizer method which is fast and fullspeed.
- Nuked (YM2612) [nuked (ym2612)] - Selects Nuked (YM2612) [original Model 1 Mega Drive/Genesis] as FM synthesizer method which is high quality but has high CPU requirements.
- Nuked (YM3438) [nuked (ym3438)] - Selects Nuked (YM3438) [later Mega Drive/Genesis revisions] FM synthesizer method which is fast but has high CPU requirements.
- Comment on Does Anyone Else Find the Sega Genesis' Sound Annoying? 1 month ago:
Genesis/MD sound is definitely crunchy but there were multiple different audio chips of varying quality used in various Genesis/MD revisions. I usually play emulated games on FPGA so I can only offer general advice but a modern emulator should allow you to mix and match those. You might want to experiment and see if you like some combination better. It won’t ever be like SNES though as it uses a very different approach to audio.

- Comment on Lemmy vote aggregation idea 1 month ago:
Ah, there’s even an option to turn off vote types selectively at the federation level, that’s pretty cool! This is kind of like my other pipe dream of vote weight being different based on whether it’s local or federated.
- Comment on Lemmy vote aggregation idea 1 month ago:
I was thinking of this too but then you need to keep track of who’s allowed to vote and that’s weird thing to federate even conceptually.
Something along similar lines is how they do it on Slashdot where users are randomly assigned limited number of points to be used for voting which makes them more precious in general. Tildes is also interesting in that regard because while there are no downvotes there, trusted users can apply labels that serve as something between a reason for downvote and a report. For example comment can be tagged as „noise” for not bringing anything to discussion which automatically ranks it below other comments but not removes it entirely. This prevents jokes being the top reply which is nice. Nothing against jokes but it depends on what kind of content you want others too see on your platform.

What’s important is that it’s possible if you don’t like any other instance. Maybe once Lemmy gets popular we’ll get commercial hosts offering to spin up a Lemmy instance the same way they offer WordPress.
- Comment on Lemmy vote aggregation idea 1 month ago:
To me the idea is more important than implementation details because those can be worked out in many different ways as you’ve noticed. If you know what is the goal then you can adjust if you see things not working out as intended.
The most basic approach would be to get positive/negative ratio and decide how much in the middle is still 0.

Does electoral college allow you to create a state whenever you feel like?

Correct :)
