Mastodon: @confusedbunny
Yes, my Mastodon username mentions bunnies, yet the bunny avatar is on this profile, and the Lemming which might indicate Lemmy (this is Kbin, but I am subbed to Lemmy communities) is over there. Don’t question.

I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I’ve failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.
Stuffed Fables, or The Adventures Of Robin Hood (not played the latter but I believe it’s a similar adventure gamebook system)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are the best/highest quality Video Games ever made?
5·2 years agoChaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)

1·2 years agoMost links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don’t work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.

Computer History aka Tech Time Travelers@lemmy.capebreton.social•[DISCUSSION] What was the oldest piece of tech actively used in an environment you supported?
2·2 years agoWhen I was in local government, they had a load of old sevrers - all sorts of things, most of which I couldn’t identify. There was a mainframe system which was heavily used via Wyse terminals - I’m not sure if it was actually running on a mainframe still at that point, but they definitely had some as I had to change all the backup tapes in lots of server rooms in the building. All sorts of things with what looked like reel to reel tapes in them. Shame even camera phones weren’t a thing (this was in early 2000s) or I’d have taken lots of photos. There were some Sun boxes as well.

1·2 years agoI think Kbin converted it to a full link! Should have created this thread with Lemmy really (btw, Chris/floppy in this thread is also me)
chris@fedia.ioto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Lemmy thinks everything Fedia.io users post is from two hours in the future
1·2 years agoI strongly suspect it’s a timezone bug in kbin. fedia.io is hosted in Germany (I think) which will be GMT+2, which would explain the two hours difference if it isn’t converting back to GMT/UTC on the timestamps. Does this happen on kbin.social too? That would help determine if it’s a kbin bug or just configuration on fedia.io.

Takahē are going to try implementing it too, once Bluesky are ready to federate.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?
35·2 years agoA stupidly cheap (£2?) fleece I bought off a sale rail on a whim, thinking I would never wear it.
I practically lived in that thing, and still use it today.
Artifact is an interesting app that learns from your viewing history.
Oooh…
It’s made by the creators of Instagram
Ah, maybe not then.
I think they just get marked as deleted, and what is supposed to happen is that the deleted comment gets picked up through federation and the destination server should delete their local copy. Sounds like that isn’t happening between Lemmy and Mastodon.





























The dev does plan to open source it I believe.
