I hope this is the right tech support comm for general Lemmy issues; not sure if this is limited to just Lemmy.World nor do I know if my problem is instance related...

Anyway... Got a DM from a user about an hour ago, but when I try to reply I am given an error that the user does not exist. Their profile is viewable. They just messaged me. I know they are active on the site, as I see them posting pretty regularly... Not sure why I can't DM them back tho.

Growing up, I didn't really question why this band would be played along side Nirvana, Bush, Soundgarden, Linkin Park, etc. because my radio station of choice was not just grunge, but also "adult alternative." So it would play pop shit, too, sometimes.

But I still, to this day, often find U2 listed among grunge artists, or their songs get played on grunge playlists. The fuck? How is this shit grunge? It doesn't fit in any way! It doesn't have the sound, it doesn't have the style, shit it doesn't even have the same emotional resonance. It's happy and hopeful.

I'll be leaving my phone at home and going to the No Kings rally in my city tomorrow. Probably won't be commenting until late. If I don't reappear by Sunday, I'm in trouble.

Let's imagine that organs can be perfectly grown in a lab and installed into a body without any chance of rejection or other complications usually associated with organ transplant.

You, a perfectly healthy adult human, go to the doctor and have them put a second heart in your chest that is connected to the circulatory system with your original heart.

What would be the effects of this? Could it even be done in this hypothetical situation at all?

Let's say I took a bunch of different characters from various media; a head, 2 arms, 2 legs and a torso, glued them together and then traced over to create a more homogenized image... Is that a new thing? A remix? Or ripping other's work off?

I've just had this idea for a while (wanna try making my fursona from photos of a dog for the head and my own body for the body) and got curious if this proposed technique was done using others' material would be a violation or if it would be more like a remix.

I just randomly remembered something about Steam coming to PlayStation, in a capacity where you could just access your chats/groups and upload content to your media center (not playing/streaming games at all) which made me wonder why it's not still a thing, but I can't find a single fuckin' thing about this... Did... Did I just make this shit up subconsciously? 🤨

From the big announcement post:

Caused by a child process ending without properly cleaning up

Put the child process in time out for their bad behavior. And if it continues to act up, no more cookies!

Dude, this game is pretty decent. I had been saying Lies of P is the closest Fromsoft soulslike but LOTF is also up there with it. It has a little bit of every FS game in its bones, plus the world shifting gimmick also gives it notes of Soul Reaver.

The only thing I can even say negative about it is that the story feels a bit like it's trying to be edgy and dark for the sake of being edgy and dark. Oh, and the mimics are absolute bullshit.

I've been seeing these kinds of memes a lot and it finally had me think "well shit, maybe I should go see the movie." But then I was like, "Hey wait a minute... Maybe this is like that Morbius thing."

Y'all playin' or is the Minecraft movie this next generation's Rocky Horror Picture Show?

Finally actually sat down to complete the game and I immediately noticed the script carved into tablets and walls in the final area of the game. It looks like it could be cuneiform writing. Which made me wonder if it actually is, and if it translates to anything.

I know the puppet language has been translated; I can't find anything about these cuneiform looking carvings tho.

This has been bugging me for a while, and I don't know where else to really ask (this feels like the best place for this specific question); but how do you know what mod did what in the modlog? I've rarely ever seen the modlog actually state what mod/admin performed the action. Can get the user of the comment and even the undeleted text of their comment if it's a comment removal; does not show the mod/admin who actually handled it.

Just noticed a comment was removed for "not crossing the line but close to violating the TOS" and I wanna talk to whoever pulled that dumbass shit. I don't think it's a power trip to make a "report" about it here, I just wanna know what the fuck kind of stupid bullshit reasoning that is and the modlog does not show who the moderator that removed it was.
