I haven’t yet got a PS5 but I’ll likely buy the upgrade from the website, for the sake of a tenner.

Interesting that they’re advertising it now how they probably should have done initially (as a game with 2 protagonists).

Don’t worry. I’m not in a position to ban anyone from anything. Sorry if it seemed otherwise - I was just warning a fellow user not to be too casual about lemmy.world’s rules. As the community I linked to demonstrated, we can be on other instances, posting to communities on other instances, but if we’re banned by LW, no-one on what’s easily the biggest instance will see what we’re saying.

As for the ‘access all content’ line, it should probably be ‘you can access all content [that your admins allow you access]’.

It all works by every instance copying in communities that their users are interested in, and then every instance merging the results. I commented here, but I never left my server on endlesstalk.org - I commented on endlesstalk.org/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world. Similarly, you commented on lemmings.world/c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world and now we’re both seeing the merged result.
This means that, when an instance is copying something, it’s free to leave out anything it doesn’t like (e.g. stuff from a banned user).
You’ll need to copy/paste this URL to see the difference: https://lemmy.world/c/sciencefiction@lemmy.ml is what LW users see of that community - there’s a lot less there than what everyone else sees at !sciencefiction@lemmy.ml (which, for you, is lemmings.world/c/sciencefiction@lemmy.ml of course)

I’m surprised lemmy.ca is hosting gifs at all. Many instances are set to always convert them to mp4.

Lemmy doesn’t seem set up to handle gifs natively. The thumbnail that’s been generated is https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/33ad12d3-70b1-422f-8e17-f96731de7818.gif?format=webp&thumbnail=256, so it looks like it’s rendering a GIF animation as a static WEBP image.
The original file still works though - the result of ![](https://lemmy.ca/pictrs/image/fc909ca0-7d83-45b6-9d1f-7791cd1b8c2e.gif) is:

If you look at !gifs@lemmy.world, you’ll see that Connect has pretty decent support for animation (whether they’re GIFs, WEBPs or MP4s), although they play a bit slow on my phone.

Posting GIFs is currently tricky:

• Post them to an instance that doesn’t convert them to MP4, and Lemmy breaks them (as has happened in your post).
• Post them to an instance that does convert them to MP4, and you lose looping-by-default.
• Post them to an external site (like giphy.com or tenor.com), and it’s 50/50 whether Lemmy will try to copy them in, and break them (although it’s broken some uploads on !gifs@lemmy.world, so the web client and Voyager can’t load them, Connect and most other apps can).

You could be banned yes, because it would be https://lemmy.world/u/Kolanaki@yiffit.net that would be kicked. To see the effect of this, compare !sciencefiction@lemmy.ml with lemmy.world’s version of it - https://lemmy.world/c/sciencefiction@lemmy.ml - (all the posts by banned user IzzyData@lemmy.ml are missing)

Love what re-federation got auto-corrected to.

The canonical community is the one at feddit.nl, since it has all the history and I don’t really think it’s .nl’s fault that someone used it to attack .world.

The bot’s due to make one more post at endlesstalk (to announce that the problem is over) and then I’ll think about what to do with the community (probably delete it)

New home: !trendingcommunities@endlesstalk.org

Will probably post to both for a while, until we have some kind of resolution.

deleted by creator

It’s interesting that all the replies (so far) are to you, rather than OP, because the behaviour of Lemmy is more interesting than just answering ‘No’ about their original query. So you could nuke everything in this post if your wanted to.

The ‘obvious trade-off’ part doesn’t acknowledge how much of social media engagement is driven by the urge to correct someone. So I think it’s something to be mindful of: if you say something wrong, and someone corrects you, then your choices should be: leave it be; strikethrough your text; or edit it to literally say “[removed]”, which are all better options than deleting it.

To give an example - from when I commented on an eerie Terrible Real Estate Photo with a oddly-placed chair in it:

The replies to me - that it’s an optical illusion, and that the sockets are part of building regs, have value on their own, and shouldn’t disappear just because I might get embarrassed by my comment.

I think the creators of Korean dramas are aware of the issue - the last one I watched was The Glory, which seemed to go out of its way to make its characters visually distinctive.

For me, I have to stop myself blanking it when I hear a name from unfamiliar language, and instead of thinking “Well I’ll never remember that”, force myself to take note, that’s she’s “Lee Sa-ra” and he’s “Jeon Jae-joon”, etc. I find it useful to pause the screen once in a while, to actually make sure I know who’s who, and what their motivations are.

I always took the term ‘bullshit jobs’ to refer to jobs that produce something that society doesn’t really require, and typically only exists because they need someone to deal with the output of someone else’s bullshit job.

As far as your taste buds are concerned, yeah.

Your posts all tend to have a theme.

But the issue is that 50% of your taste comes from smell.

Oh right. So knowledge of Hebrew isn’t “Univershell” then?

I don’t know why I’m investing any time into what sounds like an unproductive conversation, but maybe the objection was to the assumption that all Jews know Hebrew (and associating Jews with Hebrew and vice-versa)

It’s also surreal (for a different reason), to hear lines like

Why attack Russia? Aren’t they our friends now?

from Terminator 2.

These guys look like their waiting for the owner to die, so they can finally get snacking

It can certainly seem that way sometimes. Shows like The Handmaid’s Tale have been circling the drain of their own premise for a few years now. A big part of it, I think, is that they want to keep their main cast for as long as possible, which limits the options of what can happen.

Give me a mini-series, or even an anthology series, any day.

It stores it as a JSON in the same directory as the executable.

The first computer mouse was apparently more of a block.
I imagine it got its name from the ‘tail’ part, and the fact that it now looks mouse-like is mostly a co-incidence of it now being more ergonomically shaped.

There’s this idea, that if the companies just knew enough about you, they could send you the perfect ads. Ads you’d appreciate. Ads for things you didn’t even realise you needed until you saw the Ad. This ignores that there are entire industries, and entire product ranges between industries, that - for one reason or another - never advertise.

All the information in the world about how I might want a new microwave is no good when you realise that you never see and ad for a microwave. Likewise, the ‘perfect ad’ for me most of the time would be something for specialised tools (for plumbing or bike repair or whatever) - again, something you never see an Ad for. So the ads I get are just weird, and I spend longer trying to figure why I getting it than I ever would do entertaining the idea that I’d click on it. In fact, the only adverts I’ve ever clicked on have been by accident, so every one is just a waste of time and space.
