Added degoogle and demeta to the deshittification sidebar.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Ooooooooooh

Thanks for the explanation! Indeed paints the original post different.

First time hearing “cribbing”. Merriam-Webster’s Thessaurus says it’s the act of copying an idea, writing, etc., from someone else. :V

Also, I got the impression this is a style a lot of people used in the 80’s. Maybe I got this perception wrong?

Imo, to do something like SNK or Digital Eclipse do, releasing the game/games emulated or partially rebuilt, and having the emulator / wrapper painted in a way the technical side is masked, to be as resistance-free as possible.

Also, some people would whine if they found a ROM can be extracted/rebuilt from the game files, sure, but if the final product looks and feels decent and seamless, and from my experience talking to people like those, them usually saying things like “why should I buy something I can download for free?”, I’d say these people whining are not the developer’s target audience anyways.

As for tools for wrapping or rebuilding C64 games, I’m not familiar with any, but I’d check if the emulators available have licenses that allow commercial use, if they require official firmware files - which would mean having to license those if they do require, and if the game can be launched from terminal/command prompt commands - which then I’d make a binary / executable file with the command for launching the emulator with the ROM and needed settings.

Thanks too! Was in a similar situation as B0rax.

If it still turns on, it still has an use!

Though a crosspost, it seemed like an ad or spam. But checking the OP, apparently it’s actually a fediverse community too, so here’s the community mention: !theBrotherhoodSpace@lemmy.zip

Some manufacturers distribute their systems’ images afaik. You could see if yours has that too.

Also, backing up your original system, from what I searched a few years back, wasn’t a thing, but things change fast so maybe there’s a way now.

Several such movements have been going around since around September 2025, with some countries’ governments, e.g. Brazil’s current one, pushing for such for longer.

So site will remain mostly the beautiful jank it always was. Fantastic!

But some points of the announcement seem dubious. At least I got the impression they’re not ditching all the ideas of the beta, but it didn’t sound clear to me what they’d keep.

The Harry Potter franchise is pretty expansive, so even if this next series is a major flop, I have my doubts the series will alone be able to burn all the goodwill in the franchise, leaving plenty still to be discussed.

Also, I like the idea of forums focused on specific niches, but having seen isolated ones multiple times shrink into irrelevance, being federated should help give it a bigger life span. Also wouldn’t be the first focused instance I see around. So on this point, I also defend the creation of a Harry Potter instance.

Just don’t know how protective the companies involved with the Harry Potter brand are towards it, so hopefully a site that presents itself as purely a discussion forum among fans won’t be stepping in anyone’s toes.

And about the fediverse not liking Harry Potter as someone commented, such perception feels awfully like centralization, in this case on ideas. So another reason to have a focused forum, so people may be more comfortable enjoying and discussing what they want, instead of falling into a silence spiral to not be the perceived majority’s enemies. And as you proposed, those that don’t like are free to block/defederate.

And about software, might I suggest an hybrid one, so people on both threadiverse and microblog platforms may be able to interact? Dunno how Piefed fares on that front (I keep forgetting to check) and Lemmy is kinda isolated by their design philosophy.

But back on creating an instance, now that at the end I reread the other comments, it’s a task, requiring resources, interest and time someone may not have. So if asking for one to be created by others is likely be a short-lived idea.

So good luck on finding anyone then.

Or maybe also you’d be interested in reading the responses to a question I made in a self-hosting community, if you want to do it yourself but don’t know where to start:

Reminds me I haven’t picked anything yet. Finished a game on Saturday but the following days were pretty busy for me. What to play now…

Only upside I can think of federating with Threads is to try to pull people into the wider fediverse, but indeed it’s a major risk that Facebook the company’s grip is stronger in case people don’t defederate.

Closest in other engines afaik are tags, but they are only an <include> type of filter, not also an <exclude> one.

@speedythefirst@lemmy.zip AT Protocol uses relays instead of direct communication - think two devices talking over bluetooth (ActivityPub) vs talking through the router on a same network (AT Protocol).

AT Protocol is better for content distribution, but its relay system is more centralized. ActivityPub is better for decentralization, but contents and to a smaller degree servers need to be found first.

Also there is the Nostrr protocol, but to my knowledge it’s dwarfed in comparison to ActivityPub and AT Protocol, is also relay-based, and the only instance that uses it that I know is minds.com, which also uses ActivityPub.

And talking about instances with multiple protocols used, alternative to bridging through Bridgy Fed, Wafrn uses both AT Protocol and ActivityPub natively, and NeoDB (for cross-posting afaik) and Friendica (for normal use) allow connecting to your Bluesky account if you have one.

Mbin has mixed feeds (microblogging + threads), is very responsive to Ublock Origin so I can simulate a better post hiding than Lemmy or Mastodon’s, its RSS picks both threads and microblog posts from communities (but thankfully not comments from users, unlike Misskey), and UI has very little visual noise.

Hay de Chile también: !chile@feddit.cl

Y de acuerdo con Sagan sobre una comunidad de Uruguay, sería mejor crearlo si lo tienes lo que publicar.

Pero quizás ¿lo pueda compartir a periodicos hasta que otros publiquen allá, como Lemmy hiciera en su “boom” inicial?

I had been considering getting a decent computer since 2017 iirc. And since then, prices were already rising constantly, no crypto, plandemic, LLMs or fearmongering needed. So my suggestion is, get the upgrade as soon as possible despite the prices, for the “now” seems to always be the cheapest.

So… Is it an article to promote/defend the actions of the Big Brother State?

Whenever I see “regulating social medias”, I get a cold sweat, reminded of what the current Brazilian government’s been insisting on for years, in practice internet censorship.

@ScoffingLizard@lemmy.dbzer0.com It doesn’t have SMS. It was just a comparison.

And aggregator is something or someone that aggregates, that brings things together. The fediverse network is one, for example, as it brings together the several sites you see in users’ IDs, such as Divisions by Zero, The/Brain/Bin, Blåhaj Zone, Mastodon Social, etc.
