Isn’t that exactly what “Active” sort does?

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

Who would you drop to pick up a TE for Goedert's bye this week? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

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

Nintendo Is Now Going After YouTube Accounts Which Show Its Games Being Emulated in c/games

Glad I hacked my switch before Nintendo all went to shit. I am done buying Nintendo products. (To be fair I will never have time to get through my back log anyway)

All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

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.

Playstation Plus is just TOO expensive. in c/[email protected]

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

MKBD covers all major manufacturers at this point. Unless you want him to say that Apple sucks, don’t see what the complaint is?

YouTube Premium is getting a huge price hike in over a dozen countries, sparking user backlash. Some countries are experiencing hikes between 30% and 50% in c/[email protected]

If you have kids that watch on devices that can’t easily block ads like TVs or game consoles, it’s worth every penny.

YouTube ads are full of scams and smut and all sorts of other things I don’t want my kids exposed too

Who still uses pagers? in c/[email protected]

Could you not just change the ring tones of your contacts to something else and then have all unknown callers use the bad time ring tone?

I've just been introduced to Taco Bell. What should I be trying? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Try obtaining a Time Machine so that you can experience the menu from when it was good.

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

[Mega Thread] NFL Preseason Week 1 (lemmy.world)
 

We already had the hall of fame game where we saw Brett Rypien and Collin Johnson ball out. Now we have the full week 1 slate starting tonight.

Some games of interest for me-

Panthers - Patriots to see how Maye does and how their WR room shakes out.

Texans - Steelers to see how Fields does and whether he is a stash to see if he can beat out Russ sooner rather than later

What games are you interested in watching this week. About a month left until Week 1 is here!

Afterplay.io now has retroachievements support!

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).

The latest update just added retroacheivements support. As far as I know, it’s the only emulator that supports them on iOS that doesn’t require sideloading.

Best iOS for creating gifs from mp4s/videos from camera roll? (lemmy.world)
 

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

[Retro Dodo]Google is killing Retro Dodo and Other Independent Sites (retrododo.com)
 

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.

[Link's Awakening]Another Zelda game down! (lemmy.world)
 

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 in google sheets to try to figure it out.

Tap for spoilerTurns 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
