- Comment on Lemmy needs more donations 1 week ago:
It’s a tough balance to strike. On the one hand, not everyone will have their political beliefs align with the Lemmy devs, so donating to them feels like betraying your own morals and values. On the other hand, they’re pretty much the only ones keeping Lemmy going (in terms of active development, at least), so it makes sense that they need some sort of revenue to keep things afloat for everyone else.
Donating to the instance admins is awesome since users are more likely to interact with those than with the OG devs but even that only helps so much. Speaking as a user first and foremost, I can’t afford paying more than what I already am for our instance to stay alive since I’m a broke student. However, donating to the “real” devs is just as important, and if you do have the money, it’s worth a consideration at least, I’d wager.
My two cents. Obligatory “fuck tankies”

Which franchise would you see this in?

I hear you. Took me some time get it working myself, but there’s also a plug-and-play solution as well. Got it for like 20€ off AliExpress for convenience’s sake, so I don’t have to connect a PC to run the jailbreak every time.
Ooh, cool! I see the appeal, but apart from my teen years, I haven’t been much of a PC gamer. Or rather I never bought any games on Steam which I could run on a SD. You probably have a big enough library? And will you be getting the dock too?

PSP was my first ('98 here), the 360 my second, a 3DS my third. I probably spent thousand of hours on my PSP, so I’d go for PSP probably. Jailbroke my childhood PSP a year ago or so and enjoyed playing a bunch of games I couldn’t get. Also jailbroke my 3DS and gave it to my partner as a birthday gift so she could play all the Layton games which she grew up with.
A couple years ago, my obsession was probably the GBA, though. Growing up, we couldn’t really afford any consoles, so my only experiences with Pokemon and stuff was via emulators on my PC. Had a period of them where I’d buy old GBAs, shell-swap them, restore old games and their batteries and fun stuff like that. Haven’t touched the couple I have for some time now, sadly

Base PS4 or Pro? If the former, a Pro could be a pretty good upgrade. Also not super expensive compared to the base model.
A PS5 is, of course, also nice if your budget allows it. Been happy with mine since its release. Feels like a real step-up compared to the entire PS4 line, even if you’re only interested in PS4 games.
Also, check the firmware of your PS4 in case you haven’t updated it recently. You could potentially jailbreak it and unlock heaps more potential. Emulation and stuff, for example.

I’d laugh if this weren’t so sad. Sounds like Sony is doing what they can to can any developer under their umbrella. Although, that’s more of a Microsoft thing, sad to see this happen so frequently

- Comment on YSK that if you hover your mouse over each segment of Wikipedia's IPA pronunciation key (typically found at the beginning of an article), it will let you know how it sounds in the tooltip 2 months ago:
It depends on the language you’re coming from and whose IPA transcription you’re learning. I’ve got a Bachelor’s in English linguistics so I’ve initially learned about IPA in the context of the English language. Being a native German, it was a bit difficult to get into it and remember all “special” characters that are exclusive to English and don’t appear in German or rather “uncharacteristic” realisations of German phonemes.
In my second Bachelor’s, I studied IPA in a German phonetics class and actually were really fine in that class - got used to the character since most German phonemes match with their IPA counterparts.
In my current SLP apprenticeship, I’d wager that I’m best in class in terms of IPA: transcribing utterances phonetically and reading IPA.
All of that to say, it’s weird at first but since German and English share the same language family and both languages’ letters match the IPA versions, it’s quite manageable, I’d wager. Welcoming any other opinions :)
