I'm under the impression the reputation points are either the combined number of upvotes or that minus downvotes

IIRC from kbin -- and assuming mbin didn't change things -- boosts counted for two points while upvotes (favorites) are one point and downvotes (reduces) are one point. Boosts are basically retweets, IIRC, and wouldn't be coming from lemmy users -- just from Mastodon, mbin, and other tools that support it.

Edit: To clarify, I mean downvotes reduce by one point.

A while back I noticed that I was recognizing the same voice actor as Fie (from the Trails series of JRPGs) in a lot of other English adaptations of Japanese media -- Morgana from P5, Aoi from Danganronpa, Operator 6O from Nier:Automata, Kyubey from Madoka, Ritsu from K-On, Taiga from Toradora, etc. -- and looked up the voice actor. Cassandra Lee Morris is now 42 and has a kid. Life goes on, and that makes perfect sense, but it did kind of weird me out a bit to realize that someone knows her voice as "Mom".

Communities/magazines are similar to subreddits, but unlike subreddits they can be hosted on servers run by unrelated organizations and still interact. Different instances can and do have different ideas about how things should be run but you can still send messages back and forth unless the admins have blocked it.

The first message is warning you that you're looking at a community that is not local to your instance. You might not be able to see all the posts from that community on your instance. For example, there may be older posts that never got copied over from long before your instance first found out that that community exists.

If I understand mbin's code correctly, the second message means that no one is subscribed to the community locally, so your instance isn't getting updated by the remote source any more. You need to have at least one local subscriber to get updates. If you're interested in the community, subscribe to it.

I think this is the code that produces those messages if anyone wants to dig into it further: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/templates/magazine/_federated_info.html.twig

The definitions for the message strings (in English) are here: https://github.com/MbinOrg/mbin/blob/main/translations/messages.en.yaml

I don't know, but there's a related thread here: https://slrpnk.net/post/18399280

No answers there (as of time of writing this comment), but someone did say they asked about it on IRC.

I found !sillydrawingrequests@sopuli.xyz about two weeks ago and have been enjoying responding to the prompts there.

I also stumbled into !BreadClub@lemm.ee where folks are talking about bread in Japanese and experimenting with Mastodon/Lemmy interaction to do it. I said hello and tried to answer a question, but don't really have much to add there right now -- kind of tempted to dust off Yakitate Japan though :p

I'm not involved with running it -- and given that this is likely to be a politics heavy community, I'm probably going to stay out of it for the most part. 🙃️ I just happened to see the announcement post that @3dmvr@lemm.ee made to !newcommunities@lemmy.world about a week ago and remembered it.

If you or @3dmvr@lemm.ee want to start a thread in !communitypromo@lemmy.ca feel free though!

I may be misunderstanding your question, but black holes are regions of space that have non-negligible size; the boundary between what can escape and what can't is called the event horizon. The singularity is what happens at the center.

!unlockthread@lemm.ee is probably what you're thinking of.

I've heard of people installing Windows on it instead, but I haven't seen one set up like that personally so not sure what the experience is like. There are also copycats/competitors from other vendors that ship Windows pre-installed if you like the idea of the handheld form factor, but for me the fact that the Deck officially supported Linux was a selling point so I haven't investigated them much.

SteamDeck + Dock might work for most of that? Pre-built, can play games (obviously), it's portable, 16GB RAM + 4 core/8 thread CPU. Use the Dock (or at least a USB-C dock) to hook up a monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Can probably run Reaper in desktop mode -- though I've never tried that personally. Doubt you'd get much in the way of AI on it (AMD, so no CUDA), but I haven't really kept up with what crazy things people have hacked together in that space lately.

Rent in Gotham has gotten so ridiculous even a superhero like PenguinMan can't afford a full icebox any more -- let alone an apartment! :p

(What's up with the title though, Merde?)
