Out of the handful of good things CNN did, demonstrating the failure of libertarianism and getting r/jailbait banned is near the top.

Perfect, I was looking to improve my chess skills

Good on KDE and Valve for just doing HDR and bypassing the wayland people who have just sat on the PR for 3 years: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin/-/merge_requests/4589 ; https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/14

I am subscribed to both, now I get double the rules! Wait...

To get these in front of the devs, you could open an issue in the lemmy-ui repo: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-ui/issues

Holy shit, an actually good explanation of the vulkan pipeline!

Honestly, lemmy and the fediverse as a whole will have natural growth and thats fine - mastodon has been around for like 8 years and is only recently getting a small amount of attention and mainstream usage. Like take the long view - like the really long view like 15 years from now. It'll probably be huge, but until then we will just share memes and have a good time discussing stuff.

Yep :/ for any readers here is the issue in github.

This is now going to end up costing them more money cause they'll have to police the usage of thier api with all these exceptions lol

Absolutely agreed, source

Everything is locked down and filled with NDAs when it comes to console development. To access the xbox game development documentation - you need to sign an NDA (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/gdk/_content/gc/getstarted/gc-getstarted-toc). To access the SDK (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/gdk) you need to be a "Registered Dev Center Partner" which requires a publisher, fee payment, and agreement (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/publish/partner-center/open-a-developer-account). BUT even more specifically section 3 of the public GDK license agreement (https://github.com/microsoft/GDK/blob/Main/LICENSE-EN-US.MD) gives an idea of what you are allowed to do with that SDK code once given access and you can only use the code for "internal" use and only make one copy for backup use. This isnt even getting into how using the GDK makes your app subject to the usage agreement (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/usage-rules-for-digital-goods-rules-83812b1f-1ecd-9a46-d3a7-ad1eadce49d1).

According to https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/pull/3090#issuecomment-1591055551, it seems to have worked

I would also suggest starting communities! The bystander effect is strong, dont worry about things too much right now as everything is still relatively small.

It was between this one and https://mastodon.social/@ryanhoulihan/111497118442295008 ; which someone else can post

This game helped me realize I really like they/them pronouns for myself - which started my discovery that I'm non-binary.

Unironically this

In the comment editor hit the smile button (4th from the left) then when the emoji selector comes up, select the emoji catagory at the far right with a star symbol ( * ) to get server specific emoji

Yeah, in the lemmy source code they are called "Communities"; in the kbin source code they are called "Magazines"; I think Mastodon uses the ActivityPub lexicon and also uses "Groups" in it's source code. I perfer "Communities" because that is how the "Groups" are being used.
