Started [email protected], still playing Stardew Valley (I went up 100 hours in about a month!), and still slowly progressing on My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom -Pirates of the Disturbance- as I yell about on the [email protected] weekly threads. I have also been trying various [email protected], including a billion bananas and Squareixion.
For transparency, just a subscriber on most of those communities, but I do mod [email protected].
Oh thank goodness, this post made it to me on time.
Started a billion bananas and ate a billion bananas. Not sure how interested I am in the game after that.
How/where did you learn PHP? I've been thinking of learning to try to contribute to Mbin.
I also know very little about networking.
Probably 2 or 3. Posting them for the benefit of people reading this:
Fun fact about buns #2: A bun's ears are so powerful, they're sensitive to radio & satellite signals! This enables them to watch TV with their minds!
Fun fact about buns #3: Buns are incredibly intelligent! So intelligent, that they've engineered for themselves rocket-booster shoes! This is what enables buns to hop very long distances!
Pretty out there but still distinctly connected to some known thing about rabbits.
Now that I think about it, I have not actually read Watership Down but I think I heard somewhere about its bunnies only being able to count to 4 or something. Fact #A feels like a fun move in the opposite direction.
Part of what makes me nervous about issue creation is if I'll get asked for examples of the issue, because I don't want my GitHub linked back to my Fediverse account.
I really should just go make another GitHub account so I can do this worry-free!
I love how the bun facts started out somewhat related to peoples' ideas about bunnies and now they're just way out in left field.
Hey, I remember your name from kbin.social and I have not seen you in awhile, nice to see you're still up and kicking on the Fediverse.
I just lucked out. As soon as I figured out what I was doing I wanted off of the flagship instance to help with decentralization, went to kbin.cafe whose admin abandoned it so I went to kbin.run, and kbin.run happened to make the switch to Mbin.
I have seen a few people with both Mbin and Mastodon accounts. From what I have seen so far, Mbin can post to Mastodon and see some Mastodon posts, but it is… rough. Link posts not sending the body out, for one. Making a Mastodon post from Mbin goes correctly without a title and displays like a microblog on Mbin and Mastodon, but on Lemmy it makes a whole new thread for that microblog with the first few words as title. Until Mbin integration with Mastodon improves (and Lemmy integration with Mastodon too, because Mbin federates out to Lemmy too) I can see getting yourself a separate Mastodon account to talk with the much higher number of people there as well.
I'm a US citizen myself. I don't begrudge people the right to talk about things affecting their lives in an appropriate space (maybe don't post US politics in "non-political memes" lol). However, I also thought I'd empathize with the person I replied to and provide my method of keeping US politics out of my feed, seeing as they don't want to see it. Wanting to avoid certain material yourself ≠ calling out others for making it or wanting to consume it themselves, although I can definitely see how the person I replied to might be more on the "calling out" side than just on the "avoidance" side (not 100% sure of their intent!).
I can tell you that for me, it's because a lot of online discussion of politics tends to encourage me to doomscroll and makes me feel bad in a way news articles don't, so I try to keep my Fediverse feeds politics-free. I stay informed elsewhere. I understand the need to vent out frustration! Things suck sometimes! But I also understand wanting to avoid seeing that kind of stuff, whether your reason is like mine or more akin to "I'm not interested in this and my feed is full of it."
You'll never wholly escape it without only sticking to Subscribed in my opinion. In comes something from ADHDmemes, oh look, complaint about medication accessibility, in a way specific to the United States of America's healthcare system. Any post where people might complain about a serious issue probably has someone attributing the problem or an underlying problem to some political/government thing in the USA, and complaint/miseryposts are not solely limited to USA Politics communities. If you do manage to combat it mostly by just blocks, hats off to you.
How does it compare to Magic Research 1? I was enjoying that but the dungeon combat portion turned me off. Especially because as far as I got (didn't finish), you, the headmaster of a wizarding school, basically had to use a sword to win. Not exactly my magical wizard fantasy.
