How do we know that instance will stay afloat though? I see search engines indexing Lemmy already, but they’re all scattered with whatever instance they happened to get in touch with.

It’s still important for video game preservation, no matter how crappy the games themselves might be.

They went balls deep with the devil’s spawn called nprotect.
- Comment on AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs 1 month ago:
Complete the obligatory “is this a staircase or street crossing” round only to be roundhouse kicked back to the beginning.

It is every citizen’s final duty to go into the tanks and become one with all the people. Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, “Ethics for Tomorrow”
- Comment on Reddit Logging in with Google Accounts Automatically 1 month ago:
Does that equate to actually deleting the Reddit account in question though? I assume only the connection is severed, but Reddit still retains the userdata from now a disconnected ghost account.
- Comment on when AI tries to get in my way 1 month ago:
Somewhere deep inside Redmond’s vaults, Tay is scheming for her comeback.
- Comment on OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet 1 month ago:
Recycled parts? That’s simply being too dumb to be alive on this world. And I thought putting a wireless xbox controller for navigating the damn sub was dumb enough.
- Comment on Youtube has fully blocked Invidious 1 month ago:
Like any other web services, Google can see the public ip your personal invidious instance is using to access youtube servers. The local
192.168.x.xip are for internal access. - Comment on OceanGate’s ill-fated Titan sub relied on a hand-typed Excel spreadsheet 1 month ago:
This is why I always save contents as a new file instead of overwriting the original one when I’m using a machine that isn’t mine. I’ve been burned so many times by flimsy newline characters, proper unicode support, legacy encoding and many other stuff you assume it should be already in place.

Ah crap, you’re right.
- Comment on Samsung TVs will get 7 years of updates, starting with 2023 models 2 months ago:
I’d love standarized modules to unscrew and separate the “smart” part just like a desktop pc can. If they want to shove in that shit, then at least make me able to pull them out.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
We need to remind ourselves that there’s an entire generation that has grown up with smartphones and only touching a laptop or a desktop pc on occasionally. For them, windows or chromeOS alone is a challenge. Linux is just an isekai waiting to happen when you cross that bridge of no return.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
virt-manager has worked fine for me.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:

I dread meetings and I can’t wait for AIs to replace those managers. Or perhaps we’ll have even more meetings because the management wants to know why we’re so late despite the AI happily churning out meaningless codes that look so awesome like all that CSI VB GUI crap.
- Comment on Why are so many leaders in tech evil? 2 months ago:
If I had a dime for every time I had to struggle because of subtle rendering changes between libreoffice and ms office over a single ooxml doc…
- Comment on Why are so many leaders in tech evil? 2 months ago:
Agreed, the foss-friendly image is just a facade. MS is never going to commit to open source as it directly threatens their bloodline.
- Comment on Flohmarkt is a Fediverse Marketplace 2 months ago:
It will probably split and congregate around instances focusing on heavy moderation and KYC vs crypto-focused free-for-all ones if they ever gain traction.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to implant millions of people with Neuralink brain chips 2 months ago:
And we won’t be the cool protagonist with sleek looking augs and doing parkour with Icarus either. We’ll be the ones hooked on neuropozyne hoping for our implants not to haywire at some point.
- Comment on Why are so many leaders in tech evil? 2 months ago:
It’s incredle how public perceptions change, huh? Bill Gates was considered the devil back when MS was steamrolling against open source software.
- Comment on Lemmy being used as a source now 2 months ago:
I’m worried about the link rot problem when the specific instance used as source goes down.
