I personally disagree that the original is best. It's high up there, but I think some of the later titles have improvements that eek out the #1 spot.
I'm a fan of the "piece swap" feature, and later games have polished the piece lock over the original. Tetris 99 was the sweet spot for games that I've played.

Neovim is a rewrite of the vim project. From a high level (or from the perspective of a beginner to both), there's not much difference between the two. That is, basic usage will be the same regardless of which ones you choose. Like, the model philosophy and default key bindings are basically identical.
You start seeing major differences with more advanced usage and under the hood.
-
Neovim is built to support async processing, while Vim is entirely synchronous
-
Neovim offers native Language Server support while Vim requires plugins to do so. (Language Server Protocol is part of what makes VSCode so powerful)
-
Vim plugins are written with a custom script called "vimscript" while Neovim plugins are written in Lua but also supports vimscript.
There are more differences, but this should cover the basic differences. I haven't used neovim in an age, so I'm up for any corrections if anyone has any

A TV Show (or cartoon) based around Among Us, feels like they missed the boat on Among Us popularity.
Then again, I loved Infinity Train, wish the show wasn't cut short by Zaslav's budget cuts. I could see Among Us being similar to The Thing (one of my favorite horror movies), i think there's a chance it's a good show

I have such mixed feelings about this. The show ended in such a perfect way (as it did the prior the times), but more Futurama is more Futurama
Only a couple days left in Pride Month. Does anyone have any LGBT movie recommendations? Doesn't need to be a lesbian romance, but at least better than completely replaceable side characters ("blink and you miss it")

Jerboa 0.0.35 upgraded automatically for me.
At first it was crashing frequently, but it seems to have gotten somewhat better. Hopefully it will continue to improve

Fugitive is a common git plugin for Vim. If you're not using vim, not much to check out. If you are, highly recommend it!

Totally. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I really enjoyed The Matrix 4 for this reason.
The movie had some significant issues (wtf was that Merovingian fight?), but I loved the world building both in the matrix and in the real world.

This is the same (based) judge that previously ruled that the GAC ban for minors was unconditional.
The new ruling overturns the part of the ban that restricted Medicaid funding for going to GAC for adults.
Does anyone know what parts of the bill are still active? I'm guessing the requirement for informed consent is still required, but I don't know what else

Currently in Florida, don't have immediate plans to move. My mother-in-law is recently widowed, so we want to stay close.
I'm trans, but I also live with a lot of personal privilege (well paying job with non-state insurance, white, married, liberal city, no kids, haven't faced direct discrimination). The particular set of laws that Florida has passed are limited in how they affect me.
That's not to say i don't care -- I'm actually livid with my state government. Many of my trans/queer friends have rightly left the state already, but I personally can stay around for longer to push back as I can
I've spoken to my brother in Illinois, and if worse comes to worse, i have somewhere I can go if Florida becomes unlivable

Action games and adventure games used to be two separate genres, but their similarities caused people writing magazine articles to group them together, under a single term "action-adventure" but they were often grouped together. You can think of it as "either or", rather than some weird neologism
[Edit: i can't back up the statement that they were merge by magazine writers, that's just where i first saw them merged]

Thinking about it, i think you're right.
It's been a while since I've seen it, but didn't it "okay things safe", just retread many of the same plot beats while making relatively superficial changes?
I totally get not wanting too critical on movies, especially when you're involved in the process yourself.

Whisk(e)y drinker here, preferring neat. I like all types, especially if they are sherry-finished.
I like too many for a concise list.
I think Stranahan's is the best bottle most people sleep on. It's a Single Malt made in the US, so most Scotch drinkers dismiss it because "it's not made in Scotland", but most American drinkers are looking more for Rye and Bourbon flavors. It's just delicious imo
Ardbeg Wee Beastie is another favorite. Peated Scotches aren't for everyone, but I think it has a great "campfire" quality
Navazos Palazzi is a Spanish whiskey that we really like, and it's one i never recommend to beginners. It's harsh and sweet, but somehow it works. I've heard it described as "maple cookie covered in fresh pavement", although I think it evokes more of that cut up tire that you can find on some playgrounds. It's basically "fuck you" in a glass, in the best possible way
For cocktails, i always go for Coke and Makers, with some grenadine.

I had to look a list of prequels, since I was having trouble just remembering some.
-
Might not be the greatest, but I remember really liking Rouge One
-
Cruella was a blast, but I could see people arguing that the main character was a completely different person than who was in the 101 Dalmations
-
The Thing (2011) did a good job, with some criticisms (over use of CGI). It was never going to be as great as the original, but I still enjoyed it

Good to hear. So many people have written off Elemental, saying the trailer makes it look generic, like Pixar has lost their touch. Thing is, Disney and Pixar have a recent history of making boring or generic trailers, only for the movies to be great.
Unless it was met with poor critical reception, i would probably see it anyway

I haven't seen some of his earlier movies, but Denis Villeneuve has made some of my favorite recent movies, including Arrival
I also am a huge fan of the Wachowskis, loved Cloud Atlas, Sense8, and Speed Racer. Only movie i didn't really enjoy was Jupiter Ascending, but even then, there were aspects i still liked

I don't think it makes a "good story", but my parents have accepted me.
My uncle is an established child psychology reaearcher (had been "chief psychologist" and "assistant director" at multiple children's hospitals. When I came out, they reached out to my uncle to ask for advice (especially for how sudden it appeared to them, when it was literally since I was a young teen for me), which he basically replied "if [dead name] is talking to you about this, it's something they've been dealing with for a long time". I think this helped them a lot
My parents took some time to come to terms with my transition. They struggled with my new name and using the right pronouns, but they put in the work, and we have a fairly solid relationship now. We were never super close (still aren't), but I have no qualms giving them a call sometimes, or spending holidays with them.

You're awesome, thank you.
I saw the "instances" link at the bottom, but I assumed it was just a variation on the join-lemmy.org site (which I see is another one of the links down there). Please forgive me, still learning the platform :-)

Thanks for the update and for the link to the reasoning -- I had completely missed it.
Based on the initial post (only mentioning defederation without linking to the Details), it sounded like the three servers had a falling-out of some sort, but this sounds reasonable. I can appreciate the difficulty of trying to maintain a welcoming environment.
From a user perspective, I think I'm mostly frustrated with the lack of visibility with these changes, specifically trying to keep track of what I do and don't have access to. I don't think that's the responsibility of beehaw to implement, but I might continue to look for solutions
neotecha 1 year ago • 100%
I must have missed a memo. Why did beehaw defederate with lemmy.world
/sh.itjust.works
?
I really want to like Lemmy, but if we can randomly lose access to content like that, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.

Separate frustration.
I was commenting on a post that got deleted, wrote a technical comment about the same length as this comment, but it turns out the post was deleted, so i just wasted a bunch of time.
I've had the same issue in the past with Reddit, so it's not any different than usual, but just another pain point that would be nice to resolve
neotecha 1 year ago • 100%
Thanks for the reply.
I've been playing around a bit, and I was able to subscribe to communities in non-beehaw instances, and they are showing up in my feed. That's now working as expected.
I made a comment in another instance (!chibears@1337lemmy.com) in the "Bold Predictions?" thread. I can see the comment in my profile, and the thread shows 13 comments when I view it in Beehaw, but going directly to the 1337lemmy.com website, shows 12 comments and my comment is missing.
This doesn't make sense to me. It's not clear what's causing the two views to appear differently. I'm assuming the two instances aren't federating the user properly or something. I would expect an error message or warning if I'm not allowed to post.
Any thoughts what's going on here?
I found this in an old folder on my previous computer. Unfortunately, I don't have a source to give credit (not my art), but it's cute and i wanted to share

I'm generally a vanilla person, so i haven't done anything yet.
I do Roller Derby (play and officiate), so at this point, I know more people with tattoos than without. I've wanted something for a while now, but generally haven't because of the fear of commitment.
I've found an idea I really like, have started talking to people for recommendations for an artist.
In derby, bruises are extremely common because it's a full contact sport. You can be kicked or grabbed or hit the floor, or fall on someone's wheels, and these bruises can be beautiful, changing all sorts of colors and shades and patterns. There's a gallary of example "Derby Kisses" where a photographer recorded some stunning examples: https://riikkahyvonen.com/roller-derby-kisses
I want to get a tattoo of a wheel bruise with it blending into a galaxy, since space has been another long-term obsession, would get it outside my right thigh where I've had bruises just like the ones above. I just really like this concept, and I'm hoping I can find someone to realize it for me

My overall journey was the GameFAQS message boards -> Digg -> Reddit (via RIF) -> Lemmy
Lemmy has filled my content aggregation desires while boycotting Reddit. Overall, I could see being here to stay
I'm still having minor issues, but they aren't deal breakers. Like, I've had issues with my up votes not saving (press it, turns blue, wait a second, then it changes back), so I need to press it multiple times before it saves. On the whole, these errors will be resolved with time, so it doesn't bother me much
Main issue I'm trying to figure out now is: how to use federated users for other Lemmy instances. If I'm using the website for beehaw, then go to another instance, it appears I need to sign in, but I can't see how to use my beehaw account. I started using Jerboa and it seems to handle it, but the comments I'm making don't show up (when I checked in a browser), so it might be in the UI only, or I'm missing something

You have :vim:
in your user's "tags" (flair? desc? Idk). I haven't found a good vim community on Lemmy, so I'm interested if you have a recommendation.
I guess that would make "community discovery" as a particular thing I'm having some difficulty with. Getting better as I'm getting more familiar with everything, but it is a pain point
