We're just back in the Vettel era of Red Bull. Did we get stupid articles like this when Mercedes was absolutely dominant for 7 whole years too? Or the Schumacher years? Go tell Ferrari to get their head out of their ass and make an actually good car so someone else can challenge.

 

I haven't used kbin much this past week, but over the last day or so I noticed I haven't seen the "login bug" happen anymore. I can leave a tab open and still come back later and upvote, boost or comment on posts without the page giving me an error and asking me to re-log in.
So, I don't know what our guy ernest did, but let's give him some recognition and appreciation for actually fixing it! At least for me, it seems fixed. Anyone else noticed it?

The last few years of remasters have amazed me with how much they HAVEN'T added emulator features even when the game is blatantly being emulated. Some of them miss save states or practice modes (particularly shmups) or proper key rebinding on the controller. I have 6x more buttons than the game originally needed, let me actually use them.

It's been happening so much I think this is the first comment I try writing here in about a week. You say 20% but for me it's more like 80% chance of it happening, sometimes when the tab has been open for just a minute. I've been just using my Lemmy account much more, even if it lacks several features I like about kbin.

And here we thought Ferrari was the biggest shitshow on the grid. In comes Alpine, demonstrating clearly that the only thing they are winning, is the contest for biggest clown fiesta in F1.

Such a shitshow. The French really can't decide if they want to commit to putting resources into F1 or not for years now.

Every time I see this one, I have to comment too:

I also don't preorder, and I DO buy basically all FromSoft games on release because I know they'll be bangers. But I've been burned before with Dark Souls 3 suddenly increasing in price by 50% in my region right before launch. I'm torn. I guess I'll wait and see, again.

Yeah, honestly the only thing I'd still check regularly on Reddit is NCD. Glad we're actually making an attempt to movehere.

Finally, it seems that the upgrades for McLaren and Williams fixed their cars. Although I hope that this isn't just because they're racing on their backyard of Silverstone right now, and that this form carries over to the other racetracks.

Emulators or just straight up portable platforms like a Nintendo Switch, are the one grace for gaming on the go. I've given up on phone games too.

Yeah honestly I'd like for upvotes, boosts and saves to actually work in more conventional ways we're used to in other social media, instead of this weird "boost is actually an upvote but it's also a retweet" and "upvote does nothing but actually saves it to your profile"

 

You know what fucks me up? The fact that several different #Fediverse platforms can seemingly talk to each other seamlessly, even the ones that seemingly were not even meant to talk to each other. Stuff on #mastodon is visible here on #kbin. My account from a #Lemmy instance can see my other account on #CalcKey. There's several different "not-Twitter" services each with their own interfaces and instances, and they all chat with each other. I can feel my brain expanding as I learn all of this.

 

So, if I'm following correctly, Lemmy currently is experiencing a massive wave of bot registrations, and now about 800 thousand new registered accounts across several different instances are bots. What is kbin doing to prevent that, other than just being somewhat smaller and not picking up as much attention?
