Yes, my Mastodon username mentions bunnies, yet the bunny avatar is on this profile, and the Lemming which might indicate Lemmy (this is Kbin, but I am subbed to Lemmy communities) is over there. Don't question.

I strongly suspect it's a timezone bug in kbin. fedia.io is hosted in Germany (I think) which will be GMT+2, which would explain the two hours difference if it isn't converting back to GMT/UTC on the timestamps. Does this happen on kbin.social too? That would help determine if it's a kbin bug or just configuration on fedia.io.

Would a cat-toy laser pointer distract a pilot in broad daylight?

A few months ago I got into an argument on TikTok about this. Some guy posted a video where he pretended to shine a laser pointer at a plane during the day, along with his mugshot and a news story about getting arrested for it. It was clearly a joke/photoshopped because the news story said it happened at midnight....

Is the pilot a cat?

I was sent this fruit cake as a thank you for some software I wrote, back in the 2000s. It's from a famous fruit cake place in USA (I forget where now) and was delicious.

That's interesting. Despite being on the dev branch, Fedia doesn't have this yet! @jerry maybe time for another update? 😉

Oi! Vici MacDonald (featuring memories of her brother and Your Sinclair writer Duncan MacDonald) (pczone.substack.com)

Listen now (91 min) | A more traditional podcast format for the sixth episode of PC Zone Lives, where instead of trying – and often failing – to get a virtual room full of people to remember a very specific time in PC Zone history, your amiable host goes through one person’s entire Zone-infused CV.

Takahē are going to try implementing it too, once Bluesky are ready to federate.

Everything.

A stupidly cheap (£2?) fleece I bought off a sale rail on a whim, thinking I would never wear it.

I practically lived in that thing, and still use it today.

Artifact is an interesting app that learns from your viewing history.

Oooh....

It’s made by the creators of Instagram

Ah, maybe not then.

I think they just get marked as deleted, and what is supposed to happen is that the deleted comment gets picked up through federation and the destination server should delete their local copy. Sounds like that isn't happening between Lemmy and Mastodon.

There's some I haven't used, but Kbin will do Mastodon-style microblogging and Lemmy-style threads, so that's the best of both worlds. I don't think the private messaging function works on it yet though.

Debian Woody PPC. I also downloaded Yellow Dog but don't remember ever installing or using it.

I use a Competition Pro USB. I also have an 8bitdo if more buttons are required. Keyboard is always a favourite though!

This was a great little game, I got it off a magazine covertape (I thought SU but spectrumcomputing suggests it was probably Crash). I didn't necessarily think it was innovative then, but the race mode was fun and I remember changing the UI colours. In fact, I don't remember there being a non-race mode, so obviously didn't go into that bit of the game much!

These error 500s are driving me nuts. In the past day I can no longer visit my own profile because of the . I can see my notifications, but I’ve become completely unable to continue a lemmy.world thread for which I have replies & need to reply back to.

I think these 500 errors are bugs in . Whilst they might be caused by something in the database, the code ought to be fixed to fail gracefully. It's possible that some are timeout related, maybe the location the media files are isn't responding quickly (I'm not sure if they are local files). I know that if I refresh some threads the page displays and it doesn't appear that anything on the sidebar changes. Maybe that points to a timeout issue too? When refreshed whatever it was fetching is now in the cache so it works.

It probably needs somebody familiar with the code to look at the error logs to figure out what is going on.
