I think someone else would've eventually used BSP for games. The genius move was doing it per column instead of every pixel or per row, so that it could run on a 386. This imposed some restrictions on the level geometry but it made the game possible at the time, otherwise we might not have seen BSP in a game until the Pentium at the earliest.

And then making the textures stored in columns instead of rows because the whole game was drawing in columns was another great move.

Even in a worst-case—Chapter 7—situation, somebody would buy the names and logos.

imagine this happens and then the Reddit codebase turns out to be too much work to maintain so it just becomes a Lemmy/Kbin/similar instance lol

I've used Jerboa and it is good but not as good as some others. Which is understandable since a lot of these apps are built off of their own Reddit apps and adapted to Lemmy.

I'm still incredibly sad they didn't tie this into The 7th Guest VR and use that Stauf Mansion, seems like a huge missed opportunity

have you seen this already? https://join-lemmy.org/docs/administration/troubleshooting.html

I do like the calculator button personally, but my keyboard has more keys

if I had this keyboard I would probably just pin the calculator to my taskbar instead

IDK if you saw it but 0.18.5 was released a while ago and it fixes federation of admin actions, which is one of the things you mentioned. https://lemmy.ml/post/5712032

I would hate to see you guys leave the Fediverse

yea I understand, but I think the term "instance" confuses new users

I would only use terms like "proxy" or "hub" if the instance actually had federation enabled, otherwise I would probably just call it a "server" or "host"

The thing I like about proxy or hub is that they imply you can access the other content out there and the choice isn't super important

the point of this post is to reevaluate our terminology because it's a huge source of confusion for new users, I don't know what term is best but I'm pretty sure "instance" is not good

maybe we should stop calling them instances and start calling them proxies?

wait is there a connection between dark color themes and autism?

Like reddit, Lemmy discourages long lived threads, which is unfortunate.

luckily we have the ability to sort posts by "New Comments" just like old school forums do

Fix for bug with federation of admin actions, does this help you?

They seem to be taking it seriously, even considering making a hotfix for it despite v0.19.0 coming soon

edit: and now they've tagged a release candidate for 0.18.5 with this fix in it
