Games@lemmy.world•I Bought a “Junk” PSP From Japan: Here’s How It WentEnglish
524·4 days agoUsed products in Japan are generally stupidly cheap. Something about the culture makes it so that people generally look at old devices as worthless and non-new devices are occasionally shunned.
Anyway, good write up and grats on the PSP. Good luck with the next one too.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Mastodon is testing easier ways to get you started in the fediverseEnglish
302·4 days agoI get it, but also the internet sucks these days and it’s hard to make money on advertising alone. I can’t blame a reputable journal for asking for money to see the articles they publish, and since I tolerate all sorts of patreon business models, I have to be realistic in thinking that this is going to be the only path forward for real journalism. It’s a shame, but it just seems to have worked out this way.

politics @lemmy.world•Project 2025 creator wants to ban gender-affirming care for trans adultsEnglish
181·4 days agoAmazing how the party of “freedom” chooses to ignore the nazi obsession of the shooter and instead focus on the gender identity of the shooter. How very “woke” of them.
However, let’s be real here, they just want to make us all mad about this. They wouldn’t go through with this as they don’t really have the means to do it on a federal level. This is the issue with governance by trolling; It’s pretty weak once you realize most of it is dog and pony show nonsense.
Regardless, let’s all stand along the transgender community and call this shit out as it is: News manipulation to make a minority feel further unwelcome and create fear mongering around the misunderstood.

They probably want the black market for gender affirming hormone therapy to be a dependency, as that means they’ll be in control of the goods and prices. They also have a history of trying to extort the transgender community to force them into work as sex workers, see Epstein emails for context on this.
Neat but I’m getting errors just loading the page.
A better browsing experience is definitely a nice idea though. I wonder if we couldn’t just improve the UI/UX of the actual peertube web interface though so that all instances benefitted from this work? (For example, allow setting up aggregate indexers on the instance settings (links to json repos) so that channels that exist on other unknown instances can be found quicker.)

Wouldn’t it be better to just make downvotes clamp to zero?
I get not liking the rat race of up vs down votes, but the scoring is designed to help spam prevention itself.
