Not sure if it’s still the case, but I recall my instance had a phrase hidden within the rules page that you had to find and include in your application.

I have never heard of this, thanks for sharing!

So I went to bitly’s website to see if I could find anymore info here. It looks like most of bitly’s paying customers are businesses that generate QR codes and links that can use custom domains. Since these businesses are already paying customers, anyone using those accounts shouldn’t see ads, but those businesses’ customers probably will! Maybe I’m missing something, but it seems like bitly will inject ads into their customers’ customers screens. If I was one of these business owners I would be pissed lol.

I’ve no doubt most if not all Lemmy users will never buy into a paid bitly subscription. But does anyone here at least know of someone who does, or has a similar subscription? Who would need that? Is bitly so essential to some people that they would pay for an ad free experience? I’m not programmer but I had an interest in it once. Building a URL shortener is one of the most basic programs beginners can get into. There must be hundreds of services for shortening URLs. I know that’s a lot of questions but I find this so intriguing.

Good to hear. I tried to start with 1, but just can’t do with those controls.

I’d love another Silent Hill from the team that made the remake

My app (voyager) doesn’t show an extention following your username, are you also on mander.xyz?

You’re talking about proof reading posts on internet forums? How long have you been using the internet? There was a time when we didn’t all have smart phones with auto correct or grammarly extensions for our web browsers. Grammar and spelling has only gotten better

Buying games through steam is optional. Steam itself is the game manager. I run many of my non steam games through it and don’t pay a dime for it. Alternatively I can buy steam games through 3rd party stores. The steam client on your machine is free.

Do you pay for steam?

Imagine my surprise when my gf at the time who barely played video games with more depth than Kingdom Hearts beat Gundyr on her first try

Walking Dead season 3 was weird because Clementine went from being a sweet and timid kid to being a shoot first ask question later, fuck everybody kind of person. She’s very hostile to the player character in 3. You don’t see any transformation as to why her personality changed so much. I kind of get it, she’s growing up into a teenager in a post apocalyptic zombie infested world. But then you start the 4th game and she’s much closer to who she was in the first 2 games. It’s hard to imagine anything she did in the 3rd game as being canon

I love Turtle WoW! It feels like one of the last MMOs that really encourage working with other players

I agree with you there. I’ve personally found it very interesting to try new programs and figure out each one’s layout and work flow, but I’ve found many people absolutely hate doing that. I get it, if you want to just use the product for what it’s intended for maybe you don’t want to waste time learning the differences. All of that in consideration, I don’t think gimp is that bad

It used to be way worse. I first tried gimp 10ish years ago and instead of the program running from a single window it was like the canvas, the hierarchy tree, and every other toolbox had its own separate window. I think they updated that a while ago now.

Or the servers do know that and don’t want to collect on a few extra bucks to lose their job the next day.

When I create a world for the first time it might take a couple minutes, but after the initial creation it’s really quick to load up a game

+1 for anki. I struggled for years to find anything decent for Swahili and there is more content for Swahili than I got out of Duolingo. One thing I didn’t know about anki until i tried it because I didn’t see anyone mention it, the flashcards can include pictures/videos/audio.

Thanks, I guess I don’t see many from mander out on /all lol

Edit: love the use of y’all’re lmao

Why do I just see your name as Gloomy without the @servername?
