I do like a good meatball sub

The vibe when you're a 30 year old software developer and still could never afford a house in this economy....

I only use it for finding information or how tos for stuff that just doesn't have the community or information backlog on Kbin. Lots of guides for how to install stuff on the Steam Deck on Reddit, for example. Most of my friends still use reddit so I'll read any links they post too, but my primary social media is Kbin

I absolutely love the Steam Link. I don't use it quite as much as I did before I picked up my Steam Deck, but it's the perfect way to play games on the TV with my wife when we aren't a console household. They also still ship updates for it despite not actually manufacturing it anymore. Really incredible little box.

Might it be easier to start by adding mentions of Kbin on another Wikipedia article? I've read a bunch of news articles about Kbin and most of them aren't thorough enough to really base anything off of, or they're just wrong. Most people writing articles about Kbin don't seem to have used it enough to really give a full picture of its capabilities or history

Curious if anyone here knows why PHP was chosen for kbin's implementation? I know PHP has come a long way, but there's still a lot of uncertainty / dislike for it out there. @ernest might just really like PHP, which is totally cool, but as someone who would like to contribute, but also as someone who hasn't touched PHP in almost 10 years, I'm genuinely curious!

This is an incredible article! I very much relate to the disillusionment of doing something for the sake of sales, and also find myself on a winding journey to do something that has meaning without really knowing what that is or should be. Best of luck to him!

@KingPromethus welcome to the !

Hey y'all, I'm trying to understand how boosts / upvotes / downvotes work for kbin. If I go to my profile and look at the boosts tab, I seem to be seeing upvotes and downvotes in there, even for posts I didn't boost.

This isn't that big of a deal, except in the case of a downvote. I don't want to accidentally boost a comment I dislike.

Also, what are the privacy implications here? Is everything I upvote, or downvote, or boost, public?

Is there any way to get notifications when a Person I follow creates a new Thread or Post? Looks like there's a similar setting for when a Magazine gets a new post, but I think individual posts from users I care about are much more likely to get lost in the shuffle or be something I care about, specifically

Anyone feel like this Soul event was super easy? I feel like the last one was a lot more challenging and took some time to complete. I wasn't able to play for a week or so, but knocked the entire set of quests out in one sitting.

This the place to be for off-reddit gunpla posts? That's probably the sub I'm gonna miss the most!

I gotta be honest y'all, there's a lot of things that are mentally exhausting, but I think moving has got to be one of the worst ones.

Packing up all the stuff you own, just to move it somewhere else in the hot summer heat. Can't afford a house, so it won't be the last time. Realizing all of the garbage you've collected over the last few years, and reeling at the sheer amount of stuff there is to donate or throw away.

It's just completely exhausting. I really hope someday the housing situation in this country mellows out so we never have to go through this again.
