Yeah, I don’t think there’s any way to report communities, just users and messages
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Nope, definitely not. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. FYI, the reports came through a little weird (since it’s about a community) and I accidentally hit ban on your account, but I’ve rescinded it (also on mobile so the interface was a bit different)
- Comment on Does alcohol expire? Specifically whiskey? 1 month ago:
You’ve obviously gotten the base level answer, but to add some color here - certain types of food, such as dried pasta, rice, beans, grains, high proof alcohol, vinegars, and basically anything frozen to name a few, never spoil in the sense that they’re unsafe to eat.
Flavor, however, is an entirely different matter. Just ask anyone who has eaten freezer burnt food.
Pretty much any high proof alcohol will fall into this category. And, if it’s unopened, it should retain most of its flavor for a very long time. Once opened, however, it can deteriorate relatively quickly, depending on how it was stored.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 1 month ago:
yeah, its hard to predict what will happen to it, especially after gabe steps down or dies, but depending on how much of the company is broadly owned by employees vs individuals, it can help to shield it from bad decisions. Unfortunately, we don’t know the exact numbers. If gabe + mike own 51+% then it could potentially lead to overriding employee will in a bad decision for money (either through their actions or through inheritance like you say). Or the employees could just collectively make a bad decision too.

AFAIK, most of valve’s stock is held by employees, not private investors. It’s usually a pretty hard sell of “make the company you work at shittier to make more money”, especially since most of the employees probably know gabe personally (valve has less than 400 employees) and likely approve of his leadership.

People frequently make demakes with pico-8
- Comment on Let's discuss: Earthbound / Mother 6 months ago:
Earthbound is eternally on my list of games i play through every couple of years. Its such a great game. Some aspects of it are a tad clunky by modern sensibilities (inventory management, going through the menus for a lot of things, etc.), but overall it holds up really well. Also if you liked earthbound, mother 3 is also 100% worth playing. Mother 1 (or beginnings, or whatever you wanna call it), is hard to recommend to anyone but the most diehard fans, though.
I like earthbound the most of all of em, but thats purely for nostalgia reasons. From a critical perspective, i think mother 3 is the superior game.

whenever you start a game, there’s always a phantom player 2 that joins, and it absolutely wrecks the hardest difficulty

pretty sure theyre talking about the show runners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the same people who ran (and messed up) game of thrones.

Glad to hear you like it! Most of the praise should go to Mike shea (aka sky flourish) for maintaining the list though. He occasionally posts here but is far more active on mastodon (chirp.enworld.org/@slyflourish)
- Comment on Lemmy updated to 19.2 10 months ago:
Should be fixed now. The library i was using broke on the 19.2 update, so i had to go find a new one. It was just one of those “need to find time to do it” things. Should see things start trickling in over the next day or so.
- Comment on You know how bad it needs to be to be ignored for over 2 decades! 10 months ago:
It’s probably still perfectly safe to eat. It likely just tastes like hot garbage. Frozen food doesn’t technically expire, it just slowly gets more and more freezer burnt that degrades the quality and taste. It remains perfectly safe to eat indefinitely, however.
- Comment on Lemmy updated to 19.2 10 months ago:
yeah, unfortunately it’s hard to get the message across when people can’t access the site because of the issues.

- Comment on People who dont particularly care for or celebrate Christmas, Whats your favorite Christmas song? 10 months ago:
I’ve always thought it sounds like a horror song as well, which is why my favorite version is by the Lovecraft historical society: Carol of the old ones
- Comment on A robot just swapped my electric car's battery 11 months ago:
I mean, this is still more or less what the fast charging standards do; they’re pouring more power into it faster with higher bandwidth cables and sectioned charging.
The level 3 fast charger is basically the equivalent of 4 power cords from your wall. Also, adding more and more hardware and things for it will effectively make the electronics more complicated, which means more expensive, difficult to manufacture and repair
But also, as you scale this up more and more you’ll start running into issues that make it difficult to start pulling more power; energy from the grid isn’t infinite
- Comment on A robot just swapped my electric car's battery 11 months ago:
This is already what they do. Dry batteries that are bigger than about your phone are generally comprised a whole lot of battery cells. If you ever take em apart, you’d basically see the cells are made up of what looks like a whole bunch of AA batteries (but larger).
They do charge “in parallel”, but that’s limited by how much electricity you can feed through into the system as a whole, and doesn’t speed up the process, it just makes them all fill at about the same rate.
Making the cells swappable is basically what this video is about.
- Comment on Why don't laptops have proper low power states where useful stuff like downloads can run during sleep/with the lid closed? 1 year ago:
ARM vs x86 is part of the equation; ARM uses significantly less power than x86, but has a simplified instruction. x86 consumes more power but is more robust and has higher computing capabilities and higher workload efficiency
The other half of the equation is OS level software that can restrict what is allowed to process during said low power sleep.
In theory nothing stops x86 hardware from having something comparable, but it would probably use a lot more power than you’d expect.
There are ways to make windows and Linux wake at certain times for actions via wake timers which isn’t quite the same, though
- Comment on Not seeing posts in subs from other instances--Where's the problem? 1 year ago:
yeah, the above is likely the issue. If there’s a community with 0 subscribers on on this instance, then none of the content will sync. As soon as there is at least one subscriber here, all new stuff will begin to sync, but it will never sync the history over unless you explicitly search it out as mentioned below. This is how Lemmy is designed to work, and i assume the reason is because syncing a huge back-catalogue could be very problematic from a resources perspective.

- Comment on Squabbles transplants 1 year ago:
not gonna lie, i came in here expecting this to be one of those spambots that just posts like random words with a link embedded. A post called “Squabbles transplant” by “flibbertygibbit” certainly seemed like it would be one on the surface.
- Comment on Communities list via mobile app 1 year ago:
i use liftoff, which has this functionality, but it’s a bit hidden. On liftoff, you click the subscribed communities button on the bottom bar (looks like a list, 2nd button on the left), click the “The TTRPG network” main list at the top, click “about” and scroll down to “see all” under the “trending communities” section.
