The benefit to a forum is that posts with new comments move to the top. If a Reddit/Lemmy post gets a single new comment it may or may not be seen again by anyone except the OP or of the comment was a reply then to the op of the replied comment.

Lemmy does have this actually

New Comments: Bumps posts to the top when they are created or receive a new reply, analogous to the sorting of traditional forums

https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/03-votes-and-ranking.html

and then there’s the “Active” sort, which is kind of a compromise

Active (default): Calculates a rank based on the score and time of the latest comment, with decay over time

It’s a little bit not-obvious that the top comments are from [email protected] here

Maybe they should get a header just like all the other communities do for their sets of comments?

the comments from the other communities actually stand out more than the comments of the current community, due to the headers, without the header the comments just kinda blend in

I guess games like Monkey Island (1 to 3, and Return, the 3D ones would be harder) could work using the touch screen or touchpad working as a mouse

It’s a lean, expressive sharding sandcube for testing and deploying large scale Woodchips playgrounds.

Like, a significant issue here is the insistence people have had that up/down-votes be synchronized. People want to know what the global passive-aggressive opinion on a post or comment is, rather than the local one, which requires every single button press to be sent to each and every subscribing website. And people expect stuff to be sent out as a live stream, rather than being held back for batching, too.

I figure this could be reduced a lot if even just 1 minute worth of votes were batched together, although I don’t think the ActivityPub standard technically includes batched activities currently

if the requests are all serialized, if the ping time is like 300ms, and if each request takes like 100ms of CPU time

that means you only need 648,000 actions in queue to equal 3 days

when you consider that even upvotes/downvotes of posts/comments count as actions, I could see it happening

but the queue isn’t completely serialized anymore, so maybe this number is still a bit unbelievable (EDIT: seems like LW has not yet enabled the feature for parallel sending)

4K max settings with RT max, and without frame generation, only achieved 30s FPS in the game

So basically 720p doesn’t perform much better than 4k, meaning it’s a horrible CPU bottleneck

what happens when there’s 2 different posts in the same community with the same URL, example:

https://programming.dev/post/8880813

https://programming.dev/post/1721399

(I can’t find a more recent example right now)

even just some margin-top would help

I also have hints here https://youtu.be/T5rBc_T8x2g

I’m obsessed with The 7th Guest lol

In theory I guess. But you’d need a ton of funding just to get the server power for that, and there’s no guarantee that users will switch over to your service. And if Bluesky starts turning bad then they could start blocking your instance. Also the users are much more valuable than the data. There’s lots of ways this could fail to pan out. The Fediverse is much more flexible to new instances joining.

maybe it would be simple to fork this source code and form your own community

The network effect makes this extremely difficult, even with the source code, it’s basically starting from scratch again.

I’ve probably played this game for over a hundred hours. Great soundtrack too, by Alexander Brandon. I also loved the minigame hidden behind the DESTRUCT cheat code.

And it’s open source too!

I can’t believe someone else just mentioned Hover! I haven’t played it in decades lol but I did spend a lot of time on it as a kid

Sonic Robo Blast 2 is one of the best Sonic games ever!

Soldat was awesome, I loved the Rambo mode lol. That game had such good movement.

definitely Deus Ex

but also The 7th Guest lol

Not the first person, but certainly the first and only chick
