Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.
I think the rest of my communities haven’t seen activity lately, so I’ll have to post in them first!
Maybe you’re looking for !folklore@mander.xyz
Why? Because they’re mine and they need more love.
True, but the Switch was a big rethink so retaining backwards compatibility would have been tricky.
The 3DS had backward compatibility with physical DS games. The Wii U had backward compatibility with Wii games (the Wii could also play GameCube games). No surprises here - especially if they are going to call it “Switch 2” I’d have been surprised if it wasn’t compatible.
3DS cartridges had an extra notch on them to stop them being inserted into a DS. Probably we’ll get something similar here or there will be some software mechanism to stop attempts to run the new games on the old system.
This is a legitimate concern.
Looks like that was just credential stuffing, though, not an actual vulnerability. Unique passwords and 2FA are enough to stop your account being compromised. They’ve been good enough to refund anything spent as a result of this. There have been far worse breaches and less reasonable companies, although I understand any concern after this sort of thing is reported.
I don’t know what a shield TV is, but I quite like the Roku streaming sticks. They work flawlessly for me, and you can cast to them from another device.
Depends how many sugars. At least three heaped teaspoons should qualify, two is borderline.
I don’t know anything about Pinboard, but if you do decide to change you might want to look at the Fediverse enabled Postmarks.
There’s also some sort of soft blocking option, which largely hides the instance AIUI but still gives the ability to follow users. This seems like a better option rather than completely defederating.
If Meta want to scrape your data they can do that anyway. All defederation does is stops you looking at their stuff (which, as you say, can be blocked at the user level anyway)
There’s also Linen.
No, it’s a cross platform standard. You can even run a server on Linux interfacing with SANE to convert older scanners.
I looked up the non-Apple name and it’s eSCL. That’s a lot easier to search for.
Yes, you can now use AirScan (also called something else I don’t recall currently) for “driverless” scanning.
Wait, what… World of Goo 2?
I’ve just noticed there’s a Fediverse “optic”, so you can restrict it to Fediverse sites.
Tbh I just saw it needed a login and scrolled back up to the link without reading further, so was obviously a bit hasty in my assessment of it being a paywall.
To save reading the paywalled article, the site is at https://stract.com
I’ve only done a single search but it gave me a summary at the top, and some discussion forums in a different format. I’m impressed so far!
They need to be trained on the film “Wargames”. Or forced to pay Noughts & Crosses against themselves.
I was going to put Bedfordshire in brackets next to that, but I forgot. I knew it could cause confusion!
