YES for Sacrifice. This game is a piece of art. I don’t get how it was never remade or it never got a sequel. Such a loss…

I am also from Germany. Political and cultural developments that happen in the US will in some form arrive in Europe with a delay of about 10 years, at least that is how I often felt.

Bass Player here, I am pretty confident this is a flute.

Serious question: you use it instead of wiping, not in addition to? I have a hard time imagining the bidet would be more sanitary without the use of mechanical force (wiping) and/or soap. Is it really just a jet of water that is supposed to remove any residue, regardless of consistency?

I laughed hard enough to realize I lost too much life time to Excel.

A time lapse of the history of the universe:

Very minimalistic, but I like the sound and visuals. Just try to tune in and enjoy an existential crisis at the end!

I see it this way: federation is unironically a feature, not a bug. What will the platform look like in 5 years? Maybe none of the currently “big” instances will exist anymore, but others will have taken their place. Maybe a rotation of popular instances will be normal (probably not), I don’t know. I can always make a new account and move to another instance - I find that beautiful.

I think if you retain the expectation of a monolithic all-in-one network like Reddit is, the Fediverse might not be for you - but for others, it will be right! Federation won’t kill Lemmy, it may attract a certain demographic for sure, but again, I see the merit in that.

I don’t understand either. Not having any “social media features” like a profile site or “karma” is a big plus for me. I use my account for access and saving links, that’s all I expect.

Numbers and vowels have colors for me. 1 white-ish, 2 red, 3 yellow, 4 green, 5 brown, 6 dark red, 7 blue, 8 gold-white, 9 dark green, 0 black, A green, E orange, I white, O black, U brown, Y turquoise. Some consonants “feel” like they have color, but far less pronounced.

Also sounds have colors and shapes but that may just be association.

Edit: does synesthesia qualify as neurodivergence? Am I neurodivergent? What does this mean??

I second this - am a reddit refugee from Boost.

Very well put. The whole API thing started a process for me that will not be reversed. Reddit is stained now.

Yes, I am intrigued how this will turn out. I think I see potential in the federated approach in this regard.

I feel reminded of the old days of the internet. It is invigorating discovering this Fediverse. Everything feels a lot more engaged than Reddit. I think it may be a good thing if this does not “take off” completely.
