Late response, but I found the official statement from Dolphin
@jonah@lemmy.one you're alive! Welcome back, this server needs 4 months worth of maintenance!
It's not about being a hassle to maintain, it's about users thinking they were sending secure messages when they weren't. The simplest explanation is that Signal is a secure messenger, so the app shouldn't let you send insecure messages. I'm sure it lost them a few users but they're not trying to gain maximum market share like for-profit orgs try to.
I've tried playing various Zelda games over the years but I've just never got into any of them. I've just started WWHD and it seems to suffer from the classic Zelda problem of having one very specific solution to a puzzle blocking off all progress, and not telling you at all where that puzzle/solution is if you haven't already identified it! Also it tempted me with an open ocean of sailing and gave me some side-quest maps to follow, then when I tried to follow them it immediately turned me around and said "you can't go this way yet"!
They've updated their 'policy', still with no accrual explanation that I can see:
The admin team updated the communities that they will allow archive links to be used.
No idea what the deleted comment you replied to said, but I'm a big fan of bringing the word "dork" back!
This was a really interesting read! Surprised it didn't mention TimeSplitters given how much of GoldenEye made it into it.
Articons seems to still have it
I've wanted to pay FTL on a touchscreen for years
Be aware we don't have an active admin so you probably can't create an account (assuming the server doesn't just die one day!)
Sounds like the very thing to motivate you to ditch your gmail account, don't let them hold you hostage!
Should I worry about "legitimate interest" tracking cookies?
I know they've been around since the GDPR came into effect, but I've suddenly noticed a sharp increase in the cookie prompts on web pages which have a second "legitimate interest" page. Some of these have an "object all" button, but plenty require you to manually opt-out of sometimes hundreds of ad-trackers.
The cynic in me assumes this is a legal loophole, whereby they can claim legitimate interest in your data in order to do exactly what they were going to do anyway (which is not what the legitimate interest feature of the GDPR is for) without being required to give you a "reject all" button.
- Am I being overly paranoid or is this exactly what's happening?
- Does blocking all third-party cookies (something your browser should be able to do by default) negate all this need to reject anyway?
- If not then what's the solution?
If you do have an answer then please state if it applies to EU/UK or other, non-GDPR-respecting countries!
I guess it makes complete sense for these "live service" games, but it's so weird to me that the game itself changes and you lose access to something you might already have paid for!
The fact that they're your whole life is the problem. You'll understand when you grow up.
Can we move away from the habit of just copy-pasting clickbait video titles with no information as to what they're actually about? Lemmy gives you a description field, you have the power to summarise videos which should really be blog posts!
So it's all just a way to sell you cosmetics?
I need all the protection I can get now Big Subreddit are after me!
Technically yes, but if you're already paying for the thing you actually wanted then it's essentially a free trial on top of that
Go back to your torrents, poor boy.
Lol, I thought we were going to have a serious discussion about the relative merits of advertising vs community servers with donations, turns out you're just an elitist cunt. Probably my mistake for not seeing the "TikTok and YouTube are my only sources of entertainment" red flag!
It's a free trial. I don't know why everyone's so shocked, they're essentially giving you one or two free books in the hope that you'll be hooked and want to pay for more!
lemmy.one has been defederated by lemmy.world
According to https://gui.fediseer.com/instances/detail/lemmy.world
Reached out through Lemmy and Mastodon. No reply from the admin. Last activity from the admin was 2 months ago. Instance is also running an older version of Lemmy.
I assume they are defederating as a precaution, but as the largest instance they have essentially cut us off from a lot of content.
@jonah@lemmy.one are you still around and are you able to reply to them please?
Was there a Mullvad DNS outage today?
I've recently changed from dns.adguard.com to extended.dns.mullvad.net as it generally seems more privacy friendly, but it seemed to go dead for a while today. Anyone else see this or was it a me problem? I can deal with a slightly flaky service but I can't recommend one to non-techies who just need a working adblocker.
Anyone know how safe Pebble apps are?
I'm probably one of the few people still using a Pebble smart watch (still alive and kicking with Rebble!), and I've just gone through the app store and found a few cool apps that still work. Given that you have to give the Pebble android app quite a few permissions to be able to do its thing I'm now wondering if all the third-party apps can also access all those permissions. They're mostly little FOSS one-person projects so I can probably have a nose through the source myself to check for dodgy behaviour, but does anyone know what the risks are in general?
I start playing my first PF1e campaign soon
I'm a filthy 5e casual, what sort of madness should I expect?
(I've played a couple of PF1e one-shots and built a few characters so I know the surface-level differences, but what sort of 5e thinking do I need to un-learn?)
Not Lenny!
I was told we had to all leave Reddit and switch to Lenny
Did anything come out of the recent Dolphin debacle?
Dolphin Emulator's recent pre-emptive removal from Steam got everyone a bit worried about its future. The speculation was that they were shipping some proprietary Wii keys which they technically shouldn't be. Was this confirmed as the reason? Are they going to remove them? Is the future of the project still safe?
What's your favourite swear/expletive/profanity to use IRL?
And I mean to actually use with your voice, you may be one of the people who likes "cockwomble" but if you only ever type it out online then that doesn't count!
I can't see my own posts
When I view the posts section of my own profile I only see a list of my subscribed communities, whereas clicking on someone else's shows their posts as expected. I'm seeing the same in the lemmy.one web UI as in the Jerboa client. I can also see the number of posts I've made, just not where they were!
Anyone else seeing the same behaviour?
I have no shame in reposting old pics from r/formuladank

What's the difference between Qatar and Abu Dhabi?
People in Qatar don't like the Flintstones, but people in Abu-Dhabi-dooo
What's actually going on with GrapheneOS at the moment?
I've seen the post saying that the lead developer is stepping down, I've seen his accusations of abuse. I've seen enormous write-ups which make questionable claims about how he's the devil himself. I've seen a lot of rumour and hearsay, and now I've got no idea what to think.
Is anyone able to give a short, unbiased summary of what's going on? (Ultimately, from a selfish point of view, I want to know if the project is likely to fall apart or if this is just bickering between egos!)
