Nah, the technology to fake the moon landing straight up didn’t exist in the 60s. There’s a really good video on youtube that goes over it but I can’t seem to find it right now. But basically, even though there were some nice techniques to make special effects for movies, they wouldn’t have worked for faking an actual moon landing.
For the record, I fully support what the remaining mod team is doing, they are a wonderful group and I trust them completely. I don’t regret the choices I made, only that my actions got a few other mods shit canned in the process.
They can ban the mods but if /r/interestingasfuck can’t find new mods for 22 days and counting then /r/dndmemes will probably stay empty for even longer.
Not really, it’s like hosting your own email server. Sounds great in theory and is a fun project but at the end of the day all you get is a vanity URL and a headache.
Plus, the more entwined threads is with the rest of the fediverse, the harder it’ll be for them to break off. Users will be following Mastodon accounts and posting in Lemmy communities and if Meta does something to break that, they’re the ones that’ll get the backlash, not the fediverse. We’ll just continue along as normal.
Ah, no, swearing is allowed as long as it’s vulgarity, profanity is what requires an NSFW tag. It’s a very important distinction that the Reddit ToS accidentally makes.
So, in conclusion: Fuck -> No NSFW tag. Hell -> Yes NSFW tag.
I mean, they can but it takes time to do that and until they do /r/pics is adhering to the letter of the law (or at least an interpretation of it) while spitting in the face of the spirit of the law.
I’m a Reddit refugee who was on that platform for 10+ years. I saw not just a tremendous amount of controversies, but attempts at introducing alternatives to Reddit during all of them. The 2015 blackout saw a ton of alternatives suggested, and if you go back and look at them many have either not survived or never achieved...
Yeah, /r/AnarchyChess wouldn’t be anywhere close to where it is now if memes were allowed on /r/chess. Splitting the memes and discussion apart is definitely the best way to go.
Multi-threaded programming is hard. You can’t just write some code and expect it to work across 4 cores, you need to know what to parallelise and how to do it. If you think normal bugs are hard to fix, just wait until you have a calculation that gives a different answer each time you run it thanks to race conditions.
Could we have had Beast Wars in the 60s? (sh.itjust.works)
With my recent de-modding and ban from the DnDMemes sub, I now have plenty of time to touch grass and help grow this community/instance. AMA I guess? (ttrpg.network)

What I think kbin needs to do to survive, and why I think it has a better chance than any other Reddit alternative I've seen yet.

PC speed gains erased by modern software (hackaday.com)
Interesting take on comparability vs performance. I gotta imaging capturing user data and sending to a cloud collector is also a big culprit.
