- Comment on Well if it's low cost and easy to use.. 2 weeks ago:
About 7 years ago in Berlin at the Computerspielemuseum I played the PainStation against a stranger.
It is a pong-like video game that has a flat horizontal stainless steel panel where you place one hand and play with the other.
The panel can deliver non-damaging levels of heat, cold, and electricity when you start losing at the pong game.
Lot’s of fun. For the record, the other guy conceded with a smile.
Computerspielemuseum means Computer Game Museum.

Ads are done as a concept.
Could adopt the Wikimedia style metric of “If each person donated $2.70” That quantifies the amount needed for bandwidth and other running costs.
Or the yucata.de method of having a yearly donor tier list, that shows which users are in each of the 3 donor-level bands. Also shown as individual donor-level flair on each user page.

- Comment on What a nice blue and black dress. 4 months ago:
That is what I am seeing now too, same as the first time I saw this.
However, when it got posted to Lemmy ~7months ago I could switch it between colours.
I posted then, about how to do it. Something like defocussing your eyes, and then looking at the sunny part on the right-side, to switch to white&gold.
