I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • Man, you guys really get upset and uncivil just because somebody said they don’t like tattoos

    No, the downvotes are because you said

    I’m honestly ok with this

    It’s fine to not like tattoos. Other people in this thread have also said that they also don’t like tattoos, but they’re not being downvoted. You’re the one arguing in bad faith here.

    There’s always been healthy discussion online about people not liking tattoos, regretting a particular one, discussing the costs of removal, and discouraging others. There’s no conspiracy pushing for one side over the other. What people do agree on is that detention based on the presence of tattoos alone, is wrong.







  • They’re disabling features

    Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.

    What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology’s press release suggests.







  • While this won’t be the case with everyone, it was mentioned a few times in a post I made here a long while back

    I’m a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don’t personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don’t sub to any of those places you linked.

    Over on Reddit I just sort of let people assume I was male a lot of the time, since it wasn’t really relevant to what we were talking about. But from the start on Lemmy I’ve made sure to call out incorrect assumptions, downvote and give a talking to people stereotyping or being misogynistic, etc etc. And the more of us (of all genders) that make that same decision, the better things get




  • Now I’m trying to regularly share news that is relevant for both developers and hobbyists. (Studio news, software milestones, talks, interesting columns/posts, etc.) I think I’ve done an okay job, but it’s still pretty low in search results when you search “gamedev Lemmy”, so I’m adding it here in case any of you out there are interested in the field.

    That sounds great!

    As others have mentioned, you could reach out to the mods on !gamedev@programming.dev and offer to help moderate. Very often the mods will be happy with the extra help. It already has a lot of subscribers, but doesn’t have as much activity. Having you on board might be the perfect blend.

    You can also decide you want to try and grow your own community, in which case it might still be helpful to cross post your posts into the other comm to reach interested users

    Regardless of what you go with, looking forward to seeing it grow. Thanks for working on it!
