Read somewhere else that the engine in that plane lies really close to the ground, and the guy (maintenance worker on his first day) got suckered in. Can't say if any of this is true but that's what I read.

This one is hard to explain to people from the 2020s

as the defectors must take courses on South Korean society before they are formally integrated

Would love to see what these courses entail

Sadly, that would have to be one huge island.

More like 24. Low Earth Orbit is just hanging out in the porch. :)

I clearly remember when I first got broadband installed, yes faster downloads were nice and all, but what I really cared about at that point was that sweet release from the tiranny of the freaking phone line. Not ever having to worry again about people wanting you to disconnect because they want to use the phone. Connected 24/7, baby! What a revolution, lol

Some of the best instances are those focused on a subject. I especially like programming.dev, mander.xyz (science) and slrpnk.net (solar punk movement or "practical utopianism").

Lemmy has a slur filter regex. In case you're curious, you can see an instance's regex using this url (replacing the domain as needed):

https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/site

CTRL+F "slur_filter"

That's a nice problem to have, in my kitchen the only option is to "align stuffed to the brim"

For a serious game I'd recommend UnCiv, imho the best adaptation of Civ to the mobile form, even counting official games. Very frequently updated.

For casual games, I like:

Lona: like Snake from old feature phones, but with circular motions. You'll understand it when you see it. Familiar and fresh gameplay at the same time. Difficult to master and keep beating your highest scores. Very addictive.

Vector Pinball: as it says on the tin, just an honest to dog, simple pinball. Many tables to choose from.

I'm also addicted to Poland can into space, which is a stupid game with bad gameplay, but fun nevertheless. :)

They didn't specify box-sizing, so it will default to inner.

You just described the Esperanto community 😅

Voyager (formerly wefwef) is a self-hostable web app, so it doesn't have this problem. Of course this only means you can inspect the code you're running. You still have to able to understand the code to be sure it's not doing anything malicious.

And that's why there will never be a Lemmy client that satisfies everyone completely

!gamedev@programming.dev

This filter was very controversial, especially because at first it was hardcoded into Lemmy itself, and the devs initially were insistent in keeping it that way. Fortunately they eventually allowed it to be configurable by instance, which is a much more sensible approach. Especially considering other languages and even some english variants. And while most people like you and me appreciate the intent, many are still unsure if this is a good approach to fight the problem. It does seem hard to avoid a lot of silly false positives. I remember someone mentioning being really confused by this "Sremovedew Valley" mentioned everywhere, until they realized it was just Stardew Valley being mangled by the filter.

I think you did a great job distilling it. I can see many parallels with other communities I know too.

Touché!

A random deployment is certainly risky, but no riskier than a random apk. I'd argue the random deployment is less risky because it's easier to inspect it in the browser and see what it's doing with your password. But of course both are to avoid. Self-hosting or compiling your own clients if you can, official deployments or releases otherwise.

Anytime!

Closed source ones.

Its less dumb than entering it into a regular app compiled into an apk, which is more opaque (even if it's also FOSS). Voyager you can host it yourself.

Sure. Both compiling your own apk or self-hosting are ideal. If you're not doing either though, the web app is more easily inspectable.

First thing I thought of when reading OP haha

Steven Seagull!!!

That's true. I mean, you have to consider beehaw is a bit unusual, most instances federate with all other non-extremist ones. The typical experience with Lemmy is being able to go to one spot, your instance, and pull content from all over. But yeah, defederation is always a risk the design allows for. The best we can do as users is try and pick an instance that seems unlikely to do that.

I don't think the fediverse paradigm moves away from that, on the contrary. We still have a single landing point, our home instance. Except now it even pulls content from 3rd party servers all over the internet. If you were interested in reddit, hacker news and tildes, you'd have to check out each one separately, and use a separate app for each one. With lemmy, kbin, mastodon, pixelfed, etc, you can use one app and one account to follow all of them. We just have to work a lot on the UX of in-app discoverability, which really has a looong way to go.

I'm so glad they're unwavering in their commitment to foster growth of the fediverse!
