Rotate your phone 90 degrees clockwise. Problem solved.

Nemesis is also quite good if you're into that sort of thing. Although it lacks the secret character interactions of bsg that I loved.

So say we all.

The board game is fantastic too, one of my all time favorites.

It definitely had some weak points and the ending was a bit meh, but I wouldn't call it "worth skipping" at all. Especially if you've never seen it before.

Just watch the 2004 miniseries and show.

Skip the original and caprica.

Edit: I forgot there were a few made for tv movies. Watch those too.

Ok that's impressive! I had no idea.

Is it that prevalent? Seems like anti cheat works, at least I don't see much of it in the games I play. Are y'all seeing cheaters frequently? What games?

There's a bit more context over at the register: https://www.theregister.com/2024/09/02/rust_for_linux_maintainer_steps_down/

This is pretty disappointing to read.

Nothing else that immediately comes to mind, it was like 20 years ago.

Two big ones in my younger days:

Alt tabbed one too many times, clicked drop database, clicked ok, realized I'd just deleted the live user database for America's Army. Thankfully it was the east coast site and west coast was the primary, and it was only one way replication. We shut down east coast auth and rebuilt the secondary.

Someone distracted me while typing in a vlan command on a switch, I hit enter without double checking, took out our fiber between two datacenters in the middle of a move. Took me 15 minutes to run to the DC, plug in a console cable and fix it. Took all of our customers out.

Everybody has a different stomach microbiome, so different results are expected. The nice thing about capsules is you can try to find a mix that works for you.

Sometimes I want to find a post I viewed a while ago. I can hide read posts, but is there any way to view read posts?

I can't find anything in any menus.

Heads up for anyone running mlmym on their instance, your site is probably being used for google SEO manipulation: https://github.com/rystaf/mlmym/issues/101

If you're running an old version, update to v0.0.40!

For some reason I've been added as a mod of conan@lemmy.world, which I actually blocked a while ago. I can't seem to self remove myself, maybe a lemmy bug from me being on a different instance.

Can a LW admin please remove me from that community?

I've done a quick upgrade to bring us up to 0.19.2, which should resolve the recent federation issues.

Heads up that on 0.19.2 admins also have the ability to now view up/down votes in the UI (rather than having to dig through the DB).

First off before we get into this I want to make clear that I'm not just throwing shade at the specific instance involved, and I'd also like to avoid focusing on the specific content of thread. I think this is a larger issue that warrants an open discussion, this could have happened with any other instance on a wide variety of thread topics.

Context:

  1. Swordgeek@lemmy.ca created this thread asking for people to resist Tucker Carlson being allowed into Canada - https://lemmy.ca/post/12683277
  2. A user on a very large instance reported the thread with the reason "Inciting Illegal Behavior"
  3. This report was seen and cleared by lemmy.ca admins, as it didn't violate any rules and definitely wasn't inciting any illegal behavior
  4. The external admins removed the post based on the report
  5. Sworkgeek was DM'ed by automod to let him know, otherwise he would have no idea the largest lemmy user base can't see his thread
  6. Swordgeek asked about cross-instance removals here - https://lemmy.ca/post/12724897
  7. Swordgeek asked about appeals for the removal here - https://lemmy.ca/post/12789496

There's more discussion around this in the threads linked above, they're worth a quick read.

TLDR: swordgeek made a post asking for political action and someone reported it with a fake reason, and an admin on a large instance removed the post. This removal would only impact their users, giving a largwe lemmy user base a selectively censored view of the lemmy.ca community.

It concerns me greatly that a lemmy instance can act as a censor and push the biases of their admins, on users who are completely unaware it's happening. It also concerns me that a user could manipulate other users, if admins aren't looking closely at the reports they get and just blindly remove things.

IMHO instance admins should not be moderating communities, that is the job of the community mods. Admins should only be involved in urgent + serious reports that are for things like CSAM, dox'ing, death threats, etc. All other reports should be left up to the moderators of the community to deal with.

If an instance wants to block a specific community or defederate then by all means, but instances selectively censoring content in a non-visible way? No thanks.

Can we have some sort of group policy that major instance admins should restrict their moderation activities, to significant rule violations?
