  Or half a mile if you have a couple junctions with red lights ahead, like around the block. Anon could’ve been living in a flat over said pizza joint for all we know. Or they are just a liar, who also have a crush on delivery driver, so they order pizza to see them again.

  Photon’s dev reacted somewhere saying it’s not their business.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tesseract⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious about it’s overall usage statistics, but I guess the best metric - downloads of said banlist - is in their hands. I’ve seen people saying they’ve used it at some point, but I don’t think there were a lot of people. I’d go as far as to suspect that more people saw and reacted to recent news and memes about this frontend than used it at any point in time, total. My perspective as a mostly smartphone user is screwed though.

  Do you play original DS or it’s remaster? I found the OG one to have such a nice art and gameplay direction that I don’t find problems playing it today. The way they show HUD on character makes it feel more futuristic than it should.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deja Vu⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  An admin of an instance dubvee CaptainPatric published a frontend for Lemmy - a different interface to look through - called Tesseract. Many instances provided it as an option for their users.

  Something around a year ago they suffered a burnout from fediverse (idk how) and seemingly cut their presence here.

  Just recently, db0 instance admin got a funny result from updating their server software. They couldn’t see their own instance’s posts through that frontend, it was reporting an error. Going around it with a magnifying glass, they learnt, that an update to Tesseract silently shipped a new filtering engine with a list by dev. It downloads said list as the frontend starts, so you (1) won’t see it on github and (2) they have all power over what you see or not. Content matched with that list by instance, author or regex keyword doesn’t show up, like it isn’t there at all.

  It appears, not only spam or fash dens were there, but a lot of active instances incl. db0 and lemmy.ml (that you are on) were on the list, as well as many individuals. In a long post CP argued, that they wanted their frontend not only to spice up the interface, but also to provide a better normie-friendly look at a fediverse, to make more people stay (unlike them), without anything upsetting, or “toxic” as they say, meaning anything slightly political or verbally violent too. And as some users wondered what’s left of fediverse with that opinionated filter applied and what it says about that person’s leanings

  others took being in the list as a medal of honor, and started memeing about that, and talking about dev’s shadowy practices. The overwhelming majority was not having it, excluding maybe Rimu, a Piefed dev, who soberly corrected that there was actually a misleadingly named switch to turn filtering off - and iirc they had some sort of a drama themselves recently, so it may come off natural to them.

  Either way, this piece of software was forked by multiple users to exclude shadowban list. Memes roll, people are jelly they aren’t in the elite club, and we get another story about small power causing god-like delusions in a person. Unanswered though stays the question of why the fediverse, seemingly the size of town, has a capacity for drama.

  I’m not sure I got everything right, but other people’s writeups appear under almost any post concerning that matter, so you can see if they cover it better than I.

  I was interested in the claim about engine swap, and it seems to be a popular suspicion that is not in the OP but laid out in detail with links there: shanethegamer.com/…/id-software-layoffs-spark-fea…

  What AAA studios still use their own solutions now, except for Valve and Rockstar? Is everyone else on game engines world’s Chromium? That’s a big loss to players and the gamedev as art.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI banners: what owner sees vs what I see⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d need a time to make my own versions, like a couple of days, but I won’t go with a straight regeneration of AI image, and my two-three initial design ideas are:

  1. Go with the harlequin theme, but make the hat on top of the A a rich two-color geometrical pattern like it’s usually depicted, with the main dome and side domes.
  2. Drop the A, and make it just a harlequin face, although it doesn’t make it anarchism-related, and picking red-black or any other flag color is limiting.
  3. Drop the A once again to make a red or white circled… B? Since it’s a B-tier or even /b/-tier anarchism-related humor, and most people are in the know to descipher it, why not, lol?
  4. Or make it F+, for both flip and the unpleasant mark we get for not reading theory.
• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI banners: what owner sees vs what I see⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If that’d become a popular opinion, it can be turned into a vote, and maybe a fun contest for replacements 🤔 Imagine having a vote that is not about drama, harassment, atomization of fediverse but a low-stake negative commentary causing a good change with a side of community-building? I’m not against machine learning, but I am for nice events ;3

  The main downside is my legal fees are rapidly approaching the cost of the tank so I hoping we can have them pay these.

  If having hallucinations and diarrhea was on norovirus, then what’s that? Shitting themselves and delusions seems like their bread and butter.

  I will shit in the tank, and make them pay for it!
