Agh, right, so you are.

Larger point still stands though.

From the site:

IDDQD: Instance For /vr/, /tg/, /g/, etc.

In other words an offshoot of 4chan’s gaming-related boards (vg - Retro Gaming, tg - Traditional Gaming, g - Gaming). Unfortunately it’s 4chan, so…

Swag. The more we show up in search, the more people will be asking “what the heck is Lemmy?” Some of 'em will join.

Well then. Here. We. Go.

Ahh gotcha. So this is the start of the fork. Interesting.

Well I’m definitely gonna keep an eye on it. Think I’ll make an account over on your side too just to keep up with my basic plan of diversification. That way whichever one winds up becoming the superior product, I’ll already be established there.

EDIT: Oh snap, mbin already has an option to put the reply bar at the top. That opens up the option for expanding infinite scroll to comments as well, which has been one of my major gripes about kbin.

EDITx2: Oh and it has 2fa support. Well damn, that’s significant. Huge even.

Huh, got me intrigued, gotta say. Any significant differences between mbin and kbin you can point out? I know for me in kbin the Mastodon interactivity doesn’t work the best, and finding the context of replies in threads doesn’t work when it goes to multi-page.

The Sega Dreamcast. Live CD distributions of Linux were really taking off around then, so some enterprising sorts decided to see if they could get Linux running on the Dreamcast. They partially succeeded, though accessing some of the hardware was… dicey. That said, the Dreamcast had a native keyboard adapter and they managed to get support for that going pretty quickly.

Unfortunately the project kind of stagnated, but you can read up on more of it on the sourceforge project page.

You still can. Not only that, you can install emulators and Retroarch, the thing is capable of running consoles up through PS1 games, though the button mapping for most games is a bit awkward.

Also !sbcgaming if you’re into that sort of thing.

You can kind of get that on Kbin, though it shunts all the Mastodon stuff over to the “Microblogging” section. Also it’s not exactly bug free right now: a lot of the time you won’t see all of the replies to a post, especially if they’re replies to replies (and so on and so forth).

The idea is there though, and the devs are working on it constantly, so one day it should work correctly.

Some builds can get really tetchy about laptop hardware, but that’s almost always older hardware.

Though I will say it took entirely too long for most builds to have a “change what closing the lid” does menu option rather than making you modify a .conf file.

And don’t get me started on resolution switching when hot swapping display inputs.

I trust Oracle… to find a way to charge me an arm and a leg and a spleen for basic functionality.

Right now we’re in the “every other” release of Windows, the one that’s removed. 7 was good, so 8 was removed. 10 was good, so now 11 is removed. I’m not surprised you’re having problems.

Might try using 10 and see if that’s any better. At a minimum it’s not going to be nearly as picky about what it will or won’t install on.
