I used to be on kbin as e0qdk@kbin.social before it broke down.

  • What was your social media path?

    Jump

  • IM-based: AIM+MSN+etc... -> IRC -> Google Talk -> SMS -> (nothing for many years) -> Slack (for work)

    Web-Based: forums (esp. GMC) -> Digg -> reddit (mainly) + HN (sometimes) -> kbin -> lemmy

  • Issues with games on secondary drive

    Jump

  • Haven't run into this personally, but most of my gaming on Linux these days is on the Steam Deck without anything particularly interesting going on storage-wise.

    It'd probably help with debugging if you add the distro you are using into the text of your post. Also, how are you launching the games? (Steam? Lutris? Heroic? Something else?)

    For RE4 specifically, Steam has it listed as "Incorporates 3rd-party DRM: The Enigma Protector", so you might be running into some shittiness from DRM on that one, perhaps?

    If you're running on Fedora or related distros, check your system logs to see if SELinux is complaining about anything. Sometimes the security features are overzealous.

    Best of luck!

  • So Deep

    Jump

  • I don't know about bears, but I wouldn't it put it past a bonobo...

    Edit: Dolphins are also famously kinky and some of them would probably do it if they could.

  • Can someone recreate this AI slop as a.proper drawing?

  • As a private person doing nothing illegal, is there value to having a VPN?

    Jump

  • We use VPNs at work a lot for protecting traffic as it passes over the public internet between distant sites. From a security perspective, it's better not to give devices direct access to the internet if they don't actually need it. That's stuff we're running ourselves though; not a commercial VPN service we're paying for.

  • What do you belive is the best reddit alternative?

    Jump

  • I liked the UI when I first encountered it, but it being invite-only killed what interest I had in it pretty quick during the 2023 reddit exodus. Seems to still be invite only in 2026.

  • Why does google decide to log people out of all their google accounts all at once with no warning?

    Jump

  • I use container tabs for that. Makes it easy to keep two logged in accounts side-by-side.

  • How'd you argue against a person who says rich people are needed to provide jobs to the poor?

    Jump

  • I wonder how they'd take to being called "morbidly rich"? 🤔️

  • My favorite chili

    Jump

  • Sounds like we've followed similar paths in cooking. :p

    Did you ever try Isaac Toups's chicken and sausage gumbo recipe? That's another good, hearty cold weather dish. I think this was the video on YouTube that I learned it from. (I usually prefer to do it with just chicken though personally.)

  • My favorite chili

    Jump

  • Mmmm chili...

    The best I've made at home was a variation on one of Kenji's recipes -- this one, I think?

  • A hero

    Jump

  • Those tiny guys are cute compared to this horror from Hawaii:

    (Image from Wikipedia -- article is here)

    You gotta make sure to shake out your shoes before putting them on and check your sheets before getting in bed if you live around those guys...

  • What do you talk with family about?

    Jump

  • I talk to my Dad about once a week or so for maybe 20 or 30 mins. Usually just "How's it going?" kind of small talk. Work. Health issues. Sometimes about food or hobbies. Commiserating about politics. Updates about relatives moving/getting jobs/etc. Things like that. Helps us both stay sane in this crazy world.

    Once a month or so, I talk to my uncle. He's more chatty, so those calls go on for longer. He likes to tell me bits of family lore, about his interests in detail, about food and his pet and what's going on with his friends and neighbors -- like trips he's taken with them to go out shopping and such.

    My other relatives don't talk to me very often, so those are more of life catch-up talks every couple months/years or conversations about specific things that I have skills in that they'd like help learning.

    Maybe try asking your mom what's on her mind lately -- other than you -- and take it from there? Most people love to talk about themselves if given a chance. Ask questions about what she says and try to find a topic of mutual interest.

  • We might not even be communicating.

    Jump

  • No, we are communicating. People can coordinate their actions to achieve things that are impossible for an individual. We obviously don't have perfect shared understanding, and miscommunications are not uncommon (as others have already pointed out) but we can exchange enough information to do useful things.

    Also, we can make jokes. The fact that it's possible to craft a joke and make someone laugh by setting up and intentionally subverting expectations through language is pretty good evidence that we have shared understanding and similar processing.

  • Ghost of Lemm.ee?

    Jump

  • Looking back through your history, that's a post by a user local to your instance. You can see it because you're on the same instance.

    If I understand how federation works correctly, posts don't go directly to the instance a community is on when they are made. They are created locally on your own instance, and then federate out if/when they can. Since you're both on the same instance, you can see the post and interact with it, but the post and your comments are (presumably) stuck in a queue trying to federate to the now defunct instance. Since lemm.ee is gone, it can't federate out, so other people don't see the post/comment on their instance.

    I think that's what's going on.

  • My Anime Year in Review: 2025

    Jump

  • You put works like Mushoku Tensei, Steins;Gate 0, 5cm Per Second, Re:Zero in your Good to Great tiers. Frieren has some similar aspects and might land in a similar range for you. Seems a bit odd to reject it without even trying it just because it's popular.

  • How on earth do I fix my trackpad?

    Jump

  • if anyone knows a better solution to sharing videos that doesn't involve making accounts, please let me know!

    You can upload small files (under 200MB) to https://catbox.moe/

    I don't know how to fix your trackpad issue though. Sorry.
