LW will send me PMs about mod reports, but the mod report inbox is ALWAYS EMPTY

Every now and then, Lemmy World sends me an automated DM saying there are unresolved reports in the moderator inbox for the communities I moderate. Every single time, the moderator inbox has not only not shown any indication that it has something in it, it hasn't actually had anything in it.

Not in my app (Jerboa) and not on the website. Replies, mentions and actual DMs properly show up, and notify me. Mod reports don't. You're better off straight up messaging me than reporting posts in communities I serve since I'm always around and the report inbox is busted.

Is Virtual Desktop Streamer supposed to use so much CPU even when not connected and doing anything?

I got a Quest 3 recently after having to give up my Quest 2 a year ago and I'm noticing that VD is using a lot of CPU power even when it's not actually doing anything. Is it encoding stuff even when there's nothing to send it to or what?

I always have to close it when doing flat space stuff because it causes some slow down in games that already don't run great (like arma 3).

If a game adds or changes content outside of extra add-ons like DLC (such as a free update) does that content have to be reviewed by ratings boards and risk changing the rating of the game?

I was talking about bg3 and how a certain part could be changed to be much darker, and it occurred to me that it possibly could affect the rating of the game if they did (being vague purposely to avoid spoilers). But then I wondered "do things like that even have to be reviewed by the rating boards?" Because Larian has made a lot of changes like that to the game and I imagine it would be pretty ludicrous to have each and every one be reviewed to see if it fits within the current ESRB and PEGI ratings of the game.

Remembering the first time I made a gay couple in The Sims

Just randomly started thinking about the first time in the original Sims game how I made a gay couple by making 2 polar opposites male sims, sticking them in a house they couldn't leave together and just making them flirt until they woohoo'd.

One was a big tough jock and the other a wimpy Poindexter nerdy boy. After they woohoo'd, the jock cheered and the nerd cried.

Should I take the disc out if I'm not using it?

I have just a single physical copy of a game, and I've just been leaving the disc in the console; but after seeing a few videos about older consoles and noticing the console slows down while the disc is being read I'm curious if there is danger to the disc, or the console or even if I could get a bit of a performance gain by removing it when not playing that specific game.

Can't log in?

IDK why but the app isn't logging me in today. I also seem to be having issues logging into some instances through the website, but I'm not getting any errors or anything. It just goes like it's working but then when the page reloads, I'm not logged in. Took me like 15 tries just to get to the create post button.

The weird thing is I can still access my profile, I just can't view my subscriptions or make posts because I'm not logged in. Usually if I'm not logged in, I can't see my profile either. 🤨

Don't know if the issue is the app or the service itself.

Being white and not having a lot of black friends makes it harder to notice subtle racism.

I'm thinking about all the times I got into a group and felt off about the group for a while but couldn't put my finger on why until one or more people in the group come out as massively racist pieces of shit.

There are probably so many subtle signs a racist, or victim of racism, would notice that I simply don't because I am neither of those things. A few times, I've even questioned things I thought were odd but the racists lie and tell me it's nothing while non-racists call me racist for asking the question "in bad faith" so I am left ignorant and confused as fuck sometimes.

This is relevant because I really want to escape that bullshit and not end up associated with dickheads unwittingly by getting into communities of them that are really good at being subtle with their hate and with moving to a new platform along with so many others, there's bound to be some turds in the punchbowl.
