American values aren’t important to them. They want different things. A strong leader, be heard, simple truths and/or some people below them to hate and pick on.

Yeah, Back when I was a kid we used to roam those point and click adventures a lot. We’d get stuck all the times. Sometimes a friend would have an idea and we’d make some progress. But the internet was slow and we still had dialup. I guess there weren’t that much walkthroughs available. At least not in the parts of the internet I knew my way around… Yeah, and English is my second language. So information was kinda scarce antways, before I learned the main language of the internet in school… Everything developed and now I have everything available. I even have those old games sitting on an SD card on a Raspberry Pi and waiting for me. I really should finish that game at some point. On the flipside, I’m an adult now and it’s difficult to find the time to play point and click adventures all day long 😆

And regarding the items: I tried ManiacMansion, which I believe is included in DOTT. That’s properly impossible without an expert at your side.

It’s a hashtag. Pretty much invisible but I can still see it.

Well that shouldn’t happen. I guess it’s technically possible because I can also change my own comments and they’re not signed or anything… But changing other people’s comments is kind if lying and being disingenuous. Either it’s a technical issue, or your comment was so offensive that it warranted an exception to the rule, or the mods/admins don’t know what is right and what is wrong.

Hmmh. I guess Lemmy should display that kind of information more prominently. But there isn’t much progress UI wise… Guess you could just look it up in the modlog. Or do it like that 😆 Thanks for the report anyways.

I think they don’t take inspiration from Photoshop. Either it’s been a clone of a different product at some time or they developed it themselves. Hence the differences. I mean the whole UI doen’t really resemble similarity to Photoshop.

Yes. I have like 3 different apps but I regularly use Eternity. I think you’re right and a decent part if it is Eternity. Like half of the empty messages show up in other apps or the web interface. But not all of them. I don’t quite think it’s just deleted messages. Some others are definitely there and also don’t show up in Eternity… Maybe it’s a combination of factors. Honestly I didn’t quite pay attention when I was using which app. I’m still trying to figure it out. But this definitely seems to be part of it.

There are some blog posts on annas-blog.org from 2022, talking about IPFS.

Day of the Tentacle

Ah, thanks. Maybe there’s a few people like that out there.

The article doesn’t talk much at all about all the interesting technical details.

The press release talks about trouble with payment providers… So I suppose they accepted credit card payment.

Maybe the court documents are publicly available if anyone is willing to dig them up in order to find out… I don’t think I’m that interested. If it’s a good story, maybe someone will do a documentery or podcast episode at some point. Would probably do for a “true crime” show.

Hmmh, not sure. I think broken images show up with some character. But that post also has one comment that shows empty in one App and text plus a picture on a different App. I think I need some time and figure out what it does on the computer.

Fair enough. At least I’m not getting crazy…

Sure. I can read 99% of the comments normally. Thx I’m gonna try Jerboa again and see if I can reproduce it.

Yeah, that’s a bracket but very close to being invisible.

that’s empty.

Didn’t Finland have an entire culture of doing spoofs on old German shit, like TV series? I’ve seen Die Kühe and I think it’s absolutely awesome. (The Dutch also did a good impression in Jiskefet.)

And I remember watching / listening to lots of M. A. Numminen. Not sure if that’s just the stuff that found its way back to Germany and me… But nonetheless…

The thing with the tv series might be a thing of the past, though. I’m not sure if anyone still remembers “Der Alte” or “Derrick”. It’s probably not that funny without the context. And how we watch TV has certainly changed during the last decades.

Give me like $7,500 and I provide enough harddisks for 183,200 episodes. I’m not sure what to calculate for traffic, though.

And I mean it’s a bit unfortunate that you have to commit money laundering and/or tax fraud alongside this “business model”. It’s just not that easy to say: Hey, I would like to pay taxes on this pile of money and I don’t want to say where I got it from, it’s definitely mine, though.

Correct answer. And this is going to help way more than adding a few trackers. Also consider doing the port-forward in your router, if you’re behind a NAT and it doesn’t do it automatically. That makes even more peers available.

Where are you going / steering towards?
