Hi Cameron,
I thought it might be a good idea to explain how to join the Compuverse matrix rooms.
https://conduit.compuverse.uk is the address of the Compuverse home server. Rather than a link to the space or rooms
If you open a client such as Element search won’t find the space or rooms because it’s not part of one of the default networks. What you need to do is tap search, tap switch, then tap +, enter https://conduit.compuverse.uk in the box and tap Go
You’ll then see the Space and Rooms, tap join to join. The rooms will appear in your chat list from now on.
Cameron, would it be possible to provide an invite link? Then people could just click it to join in a client they already have?
Hi
For example the Avelon community has a lower number of comments and votes than when I look at it from a different instance
This post https://lemmy.world/post/6717293 has a score of 72 when viewed with an account on lemmy.world but only 5 when viewed with an account on compuverse. Also most of the comments are missing
Thanks for looking into it 🙂
Thank you for the explanation. These technical things happen so thank you for persevering.
I am so pleased to see compuverse back.
But there seems to be federation issues. I don’t think we’ve been defederated but comments and votes aren’t federating properly?
Getting a bad gateway error?
I can’t quite grasp this. It seems to be one LLM produces a tool that others can use. That doesn’t seem much different to, eg using a compiler on a powerful PC to produce optimised code for a less powerful microcontroller.
I’d forgotten that. I miss the good old BSOD.
Windows and Printers
Why does every printer I’ve had or used, with any version of Windows, stop connecting after a while and need setting up again ? (We even get this at work with networked printers)
Is it printer support in Windows being overly complex? Poor printer drivers? Poor printer firmware ?
Favourite Retro Machines
I’ve used the word machines because in the UK at least retro gaming is as much about computers and electronic games as it is consoles.
So my favourites:
1970s Binatone Pong clone built into two controllers. One held batteries and the other the chip and RF modulator. (Close second was an LED pool/snooker electromechanical game I can’t remember the make)
1980s ZX Spectrum. Just excellent gameplay (see Head Over Heels, Batty, Glider Rider etc)
1990s DOS Games too May to list
2000s GameCube. At the time under-rated but now appreciated for some excellent games
This is really interesting. I’d been an Android fan for years but moved to iOS and have been impressed with how privacy conscious it is.
Greetings from FlipFlop
Hello everyone,
I’m Phil and I’m excited to be here.
Although I’m an electronic engineer, I’ve actually worked in other fields for the last 25 years. In my spare time I enjoy trying to fix retro tech, retro gaming and occasionally programming.
I hope to have many discussions with you all
