There's a pretty robust modding community for Super Mario World (SNES). Many ROM hacks ranging from casual to kaiso.
Visit a dwarven tavern and use your suspiciously high rhetorical skills to assume the position of fortress mayor. Then initiate a project to eliminate the communal dorms and give each resident their own personal bedrooms... for privacy.
Dono from Maddie Thorsten (creator of Celeste): "The SMW Kaiso community is a cesspool of beautiful sickos."
I use DDG. It's getting worse, but it is still better than Google. At some point I might switch to Yandex.
Does China have any good search engines for English content? I'd consider Baidu but it is not practical to use if you don't read Mandarin (though you can still query in English and get English results).
Also, for DDG heads looking to try something else, you might be interested in a browser plugin like this to keep DDG "bang" behavior with other search engines. I cannot vouch for this extension in particular though aside from pointing you to the same review page I just looked at.
Looks like my wireless router firmware has not been updated since Obama was in the White House.
Sending a report to the mods, "This 'THING' is not cute."
I'm tempted to create an account and reply in that thread. Not to scold them or create drama, but to simply explain a couple things. About "echo chambers" i.e. that the biggest echo chambers in the world are run by Mark Zuckerburg, Elon Musk, Steve Huffman. That the "animosity" seen on the Fediverse is driven by the underlying political economy, i.e. the only reason the Fediverse exists is because there was not enough room on the mainstream Silicon Valley platforms for us. That it is not possible for LGBT+ people and anti-LGBT+ people to "get along" with some friendly ribbing in this political environment. We cannot "agree to disagree" about matters like pogroms and genocide.
"Lemmy needs more normies," No. Yes, but that's not how this fucking works. The normies are all still on Reddit, browsing the default subs, and upvoting u/GallowBoob's reposts. Those are the last fucking people you're going to get. Those are the last people you should be interested in talking to, too. You're talking about people who (for example, among hundreds of other things) are perfectly comfortable on a website where the canonical "lesbian" community is a category of pornography instead of a community for the L in LGBT.
That thread quickly turned into a "What's wrong with the Fediverse" meta discussion, and there is a lot of big time ideology going on in there.
When I petittion to get Hexbear.net defederated from Discuss.Online, thereby opening up a generic instance that would be open to all incoming people fleeing from Reddit from Huffman’s shittiness, I started to have a brief hope. It did not last long, b/c the USA elections happened, and more importantly the trolls seemed to switch their strategy, no longer remaining constrained on the Triad servers and instead appearing everywhere, by which I mean Lemmy.World, lemm.ee, sh.itjust.works, etc
Surely it can't be that people hate the Democrats, hate that the bar for "lesser evil" has been lowered to unlimited genocide, that this is a broadly held public sentiment, and as a result you can find evidence of this anywhere you look. Especially around election season, when all the people who still believe in American democracy are thinking about what policies they should advocate for, and what they should expect in return for their votes. It must be a conspiracy. It must be a social contagion. It must be a highly organized disinformation operation.
I have even had to resort to going back to Reddit - damnit the events happening in the world are IMPORTANT, and so when I’ve blocked most of the toxic communities on Lemmy, or even when I don’t block anything at all, that NEWS often simply is not here to be found and read, much less discussed! :-(
I blocked all the places where people discuss current events critically and now I can't find any discussions of current events.
I've been a bum for the past couple weeks and haven't been riding my bike. Got back on the horse today and worked up a good sweat. Also found the time to clean my rims and scrub them with emery paper. My breaks went from sounding like a neglected public transit bus to silence.
