vaguerant

the old URLs (with the subdomain blog) will no longer work…

if you’re trying to open an old URL, just swap “blog” with “news” in the subdomain.

This seems pretty fixable, doesn’t it? Once the old blog shuts down, can’t you just redirect the subdomain so that the old links redirect to your current blog and everything is fine?

Mostly every Rare game.

• Diddy Kong Pilot (the voxel version)
• Dinosaur Planet
• Donkey Kong Racing
• Twelve Tales: Conker 64

I know 3/4 of these sort of got released, but the mode-7 style Banjo-Pilot is fundamentally not interesting to me, Star Fox Adventures is fine but was a lot more ambitious when it was on weaker hardware, and while Twelve Tales looked generic, Conker’s Bad Fur Day is the least funny thing to ever attempt humor.

I didn’t forget Donkey Kong: Coconut Crackers, I just don’t mind missing out on that.

Surely this means Lemmy has finally reached critical mass and we’re slashdotting other sites now. /s

Both things are technically true: the article is primarily made up of content literally written by the company or people contracted by them for PR purposes, and it is a Good Article (Wikipedia jargon for having passed a review of certain quality standards around writing, coverage and sourcing, but not the higher standard required to be classed as a Featured Article).

How much of a problem this is probably depends on the subject. Does Juniper Networks have any bad practices which the article omits because the people who researched it (i.e. Juniper Networks) didn’t think they needed to go in the article? You’d basically need an independent observer to research anything that potentially should be in the article but isn’t there, but how many people that aren’t getting paid are invested in researching a corporate networking business?

There’s absolutely merit to Wikipedia having articles that are written by people paid to write them by their subjects, because a lot of it would otherwise be missing from Wikipedia entirely. But it’s also good to know that many articles are not necessarily written by impartial authors.

I don’t know about Wisconsin specifically, but some jurisdictions legally classify explosives as WMDs, alongside all the nukes and chemical weapons and stuff that people think of ordinarily.

Here we go, I found lemmy.zip admin Demigodrick’s Mastodon.

Hey what’s going on with lemmy.zip? I’m getting host errors when I try to connect. I’m new to the whole fediverse thing so just trying to figure out what’s up?

Demigodrick

hey, currently a substantial server error - I’m looking to restore a backup ASAP but need the time to do it, so hopefully later on today

This was posted about an hour ago at time of this comment.

The last post in !announcements@lemmy.zip was for a scheduled downtime yesterday while they did server maintenance and possibly updated their Lemmy version. Did they ever come back up after that, or have they been down since then?

There’s a bug where edited link posts don’t propagate to Mbin, so for any other Mbinners, the new link is https://apnews.com/article/idaho-police-autism-shooting-teen-d9eef615233c7e95d4fa3ee8a627f7d2

And welcome to the jam.

It’s not so much that they object to hearing those opinions, it’s that major news organizations’ opinion sections have a noticeable impact on the opinions of the wider public. Jeff Bezos probably doesn’t care that much about his staff’s opinion of him, but he would sure like it if they would make it their job to push 340 million people toward sharing his opinions.

I’ve heard about this, but can anybody who’s gone through it describe how much effort it was? Do you have to do a from-scratch Windows install? Did you lose any of your stuff? What level of computer expertise would you say is enough to handle installing LTSC, e.g. could your parents do it?

Mate, wtf is an old carburator?

Our country’s gonna boom.

How did you get my nudes?

It really whips the Lemmy’s ass.

This article sucks horrendously. The Japanese PM was asked about Assassin’s Creed Shadows by a member of the House of Councillors, which from a quick search is roughly like the Senate in many western governments.

Prime Minister Ishiba responded to the questions by Kada, saying that if such actions were carried out at real-life landmarks in Japan, he would oppose them. He said that acts such as shrines being graffitied are completely out of the question, which was in reference to a real life act from November 2024.

Holy fuck, the PM doesn’t want people to vandalise shrines in real life. He’s so mad about Assassin’s Creed Shadows, everybody point. Also, the writer doesn’t know how to spell feudal (“fueduel”) and that’s probably the worst part.

Reddit probably closed down their existing community.

The big headline is understandably that it crashes into a fake painted wall like a cartoon, but that’s not something that most drivers are likely to encounter on the road. The other two comparisons where lidar succeeded and cameras failed were the fog and rain tests, where the Tesla ran over a mannequin that was concealed from standard optical cameras by extreme weather conditions. Human eyes are obviously susceptible to the same conditions, but if the option is there, why not do better than human eyes?

“We’re getting these babies now–strong, American babies–these babies are at temperatures, big numbers, numbers we haven’t seen for 60 years here. Yesterday I had… a baby came to me, tears in his eyes, he said ‘Sir’–these tough babies call me sir, have you noticed that?–he said ‘Sir, you’re giving us something in this country that we haven’t had in generations.’ People are saying they’ve never seen this before. We brought it back.”
