    Once a thread gets large enough, no one is going back to read the first page. Maybe for communities on Lemmy, “Active” is the sort method that would work the best as you’d describe, but sorting the comments/replies by votes seems the best method to make sure the most important knowledge is visible

    Sorry if I missed your waiver deadline. I would drop Browns DST personally. Otherwise you are going to be looking at having to drop Goddert and hoping that Juwan Johnson or Or Noah Gray can pull off a miracle if you find yourself down 10 on Monday night. My guess is you would be able to get the Browns back as a free agent without having to burn waiver priority next week as they play the Eagles

    The use case is people who want pocketable, one handed phones. It doesn’t matter to me if they make another iPhone mini or an iPhone flip. Whichever one they release will be my next phone.

    The last iPhone mini release was in 2021. I don’t want a near 7” pro max phone. 6.4” is too big in my opinion as well.

  • People still working in IT, thoughts on IPv6?

    A lot of networks were designed with ipv4 and NAT in mind. There really isn’t a cost benefit to migrate all your DHCP scopes, VLANs, Subnets, and firewall rules to IPv6 and then also migrate 1000’s of endpoints to it.

    Much cheaper to just disable ipv6 entirely on the internal network (to prevent attacks using a rogue dhcpv6 server etc) and only use ipv6 on your WAN connections if you have to use it.

    My PS5 was a waste of money NGL

    I skipped PS4 so I at least got to play RDR2 for the first time. But it’s been a year since I’ve played it. It mainly gets used by 7 year old playing Rocket league and Roblox but otherwise I never play it anymore.

    It’s mostly time but also the fact that the games are not good either. I’d never consider paying for PSplus

    The Grilled Stuft Burrito, Grilled Stuft Nacho, the volcano burrito and lava sauce, the 1/2 lb cheesy potato burrito, the enchirito, the loaded grillers, the double layer taco, the chilito.

    So many good menu items lost to time

    Mahomes with a very mediocre game for fantasy. Might be just a bit of the opposing defense and bad TD luck. He was accurate just had guys not convert on TDs.

    Without rushing upside, he probably won’t be QB1 this season. He won’t have too with this defense.

    Well said, while I think there a probably caveats (that I don’t have the energy to debate since I mostly agree with you anyway) to each of your solutions, it’s definitely a good starting place to address the underlying issues with the housing market for single family homes

    Giving first time home buyer’s assistance just juices demand which would just lead to further increased housing prices.

    The supply side is what needs to be addressed, that’s a lot harder though as builders would prefer to build luxury housing as opposed to starter homes.

    If a company could pay $5 a customer for a competitive edge in customer satisfaction over their competitors, they would. Either they are getting way more than that or there is some cartel/monopoly action going on in the market. Maybe they are playing the long game to introduce an ad free model at a premium.

    Still don’t see how nobody is undercutting existing players with ad free, smart tvs.

    From what I can see, people will downvote shitposts even if they agree with it. But the downvote is used as the disagree button the majority of the time.

    I will upvote any comment that seems to be made in good faith but I don’t have any illusions of that being how the majority of the network uses their votes. I think a higher percentage of people use their vote that way compared to Reddit but not much to make a difference.

    That’s why I suggested hiding votes entirely. I think that would be unpopular because people like the dopamine hit of seeing your comment score go up, and so my compromise was to only hide 0 or negative scores.

    Afterplay.io is a web-based retro gaming emulator with support for SNES, GB, GBC and GBA (Premium includes support for even more consoles including N64, PS1, and DS).

    I’m looking for a recommendation for making gifs on iOS. Preferably one that lets you add text and with the option to remove the watermark with a one time purchase instead of a subscription. Does this community have any advice? I tried a bunch on the App Store but there’s literally dozens and most of them either don’t let you add text or have like a $20 a minute subscription or obnoxious ads with no option to remove

    I know that the source is more focused on retro gaming as a topic but the topic of this post is Google and its pagerank algorithm which is more appropriate for this community. We’ve all noticed the enshittification of Google Search over the last few months, but it’s still hard to hear how it is affecting content creators and putting them out of business so we can see 20 AI generated spam pages about whatever our query is.

    I conquered Koholint island finally! I really enjoyed my time playing Link’s Awakening. I can’t believe they fit a whole Legend of Zelda game on Gameboy! I really enjoyed it I ended up getting stuck trying to get the bird key. I could not figure out how to get the flying rooster. I tried bombing the weather cock, lifting the weather cock, pulling, using the hook shot, using the magic rod, digging every tile in mabe village, getting the boomerang, giving back the boomerang, tried every key item I could think of. I ended up beating level 8 before level 7. I even made this [map of the entire game](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cQcLBr4NveFDxUa1OOqDOL_pCyUhEY8NbntMpJIeFGs/edit) in google sheets to try to figure it out. ::: spoiler Tap for spoiler Turns out you can just push the statue ::: Oh well, I don’t count it as time waste. If anything else it was a great excuse to keep playing. I’ve never played a 3D Zelda before so I am looking forward to OoT

    I hope a little self promotion is ok. Thanks to all of your help a few weeks ago, I was able to get an RSS feed set up for my blog. For reasons I still don't fully understand, a year and a half ago, when I moved my personal website from github and Azure App Services to Google Sites; I decided to just hack Google Sites into a blog rather than do the logical thing and start a blog on Wordpress or Blogger. As I was documenting the process of hosting a feed using Google Drive and automating it with Google Apps Script, I decided to turn it into a full blog post on the journey I took to get things working. If you do have some morbid curiosity on the actual steps to take to host, automate, and update RSS using Google Apps, I do have a [full guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1wtRM5ivrb7uFxAmRDzv4In48QnebAXqcCWaBm8kVzDw/edit?usp=share_link) with instructions but can't say I recommend doing things this way to anyone but the truly delusional. The whole post is about a 20 minute read. Despite having started my blog 18 months ago, this is only my 11th post, I'm still kind of new. I'd appreciate feedback for anyone that would be willing to offer it.

    I've never dealt with RSS before on a personal level. I've pretty much always used social media to discover blog posts. I'm wanting to set up RSS for my personal blog but since I have no experience, looking for some guidance for best practices. I'm currently setting up a script to automatically update the xml when I publish new posts. Am I supposed to include the entire post in the description field? Or just a summary? How do I handle the markup and formatting of the post? Am I supposed to delete items from the feed or do I just keep appending items to the bottom of it? Its it good practice to include a thumbnail image or anything with the item in the feed? How is that possible. How do I distribute the feed beyond adding a button on my site? Thank you in advance to anyone for their advice.

    The app is available in the US now. It links to appropriate Apple News articles, Streaming services, has scoreboards and more. Makes me curious if we see Apple lean more into live sports for their Apple TV+ packages, especially with the NBA contract coming up to match their current MLS and MLB offerings

    As a big Zelda hater as a kid, I skipped the series completely. I’ve been going through to experience them all in order now. I really enjoyed the first two games of the series so I expected to like this one too. What I didn’t expect is was that it really is one of the best games on the Super Nintendo if not one of the best games of all-time.

    We recently subscribed to AppleTV+ (you get a pretty decent trial from just download the app on a playstation by the way). And are looking for exclusives to watch on the service. Of course everyone recommends Ted Lasso and we have started that. My wife, has already watched through "The Morning Show" and liked it. Especially looking for good movie suggestions as those don't require as much of a time investment for me. What does everyone on Lemmy watch on the service?

    Do you self-host it using FOSS tools? Use Wordpress? Design your own using PHP frameworks such as laravel? Just curious what those that do it use?
