I’m not sure how using a VPN would help in this situation if you are concerned about having your YouTube account banned? Would you being using that VPN while signed out and with cookies/site data cleared?

They’ve added more to do but the main gameplay loop still involves running around defeating enemies and getting loot.

• Since January 2023 they released the 4th region Stia, as as well as story that goes beyond that. The areas that they’ve added since the 3rd region Kvaris have their own gimmicks to use. They’ve not released any new regions since then as they said they want to focus on other parts of the game.

• There’s a new Creative Space feature that allows you to build some very impressive stuff.

• The class level cap is now 75 and they’ve added a load of class skills for each class as well as handed out buffs.

• Since launch they added the Braver (Katana & Bow), Bouncer (Jet Boots and Soaring/Dual Blades), Waker (summons familiars with their Harmonizer) and Slayer (Gunblade) classes.

• Leciel is a quest they added that changes its layout, obtainable buffs and end boss each day. Running it gives you near-endgame augment capsules for your gear.

• ARKS Rankings are now run weekly and task you with running existing content to get the highest score or best time and place onto a leaderboard. What this content is varies each week, but it can involve defeating a boss quickly, or completing a Trainia dungeon as fast as you can, or racing on hoverboards. The higher you get on the leaderboard the more ranking badges you get which you can spend on cosmetics, some gear and other prizes.

• Alliances can now compete in weekly rankings by collecting points from completing Alliance Tasks (which also give Alliance Badges). The best Alliances are rewarded with Meseta (the in-game currency).

• It’s not really a feature, but downloading the “PSO2” side of the game is now optional if you play the Steam version. It chops 58GB off the total install size if you don’t download it.

There’s a load of other features and quests they’ve added over time that I can’t remember off the top of my head. if you haven’t played for a long time, I would recommend giving it another try, though pacing yourself is advised.

If CS:GO was preserved as a beta version in the game’s properties that would be great. Apparently they are doing that now with some sort of replay player version but it’s broken?

I’m not sure what the difference between apps and clients is in this case. They are applications that you can access a Matrix server with, behaving as clients.

It really depends on the subreddits you use. I was on reddit for almost 10 years and while I saw others complaining about power-trippers I never experienced it myself and that’s after I’ve used several bigger subreddits.

As fun as it is to dunk on reddit and its moderation, this is definitely exaggerated lol

Even after Roblox dropped the Metaverse label they are using, they still want to be Second Life with dedicated games attached.

For mp3 sure, but for opus standards 160kbps is great. I read that 128kbps is generally considered the most you need but 160kbps smooths over any artifacts, assuming the source file doesn’t have them.

You can download audio from YouTube as 160kbps opus files, which aren’t lossless sure but it’s the highest quality you can get from YouTube if alternate means aren’t an option.

It would attract the karma farming bots that reddit has. Any website that has a privilege system causes accounts with more privilidges to be worth more to buyers.

Kbin already provides feeds at the bottom of the page. For example, this magazine’s is at https://kbin.social/rss?magazine=kbinMeta

I tried finding information on what indexer they are using. Are they using their own?

Edit: says this in the readme:

The commoncrawl organization for crawling the web and making the dataset readily available. Even though we have our own crawler now, commoncrawl has been a huge help in the early stages of development.

Falkon uses a Chromium wrapper https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtwebengine-overview.html

Hopefully Kbin and Lemmy get this as a feature. Pleroma has it and it works with preventing your profile from being indexed.

What would be nice too is if remote profiles were prevented from being indexed too, both so search results aren’t spammed with the same profile and for privacy reasons.

I have noticed for the past week or so it can sometimes take a long time for a page to load. I don’t get an error code but it can sometimes take about 10-15 seconds.

8GB of RAM for KDE Plasma should be more than enough. I’d say starting at 4GB and below that you’d run into problems. I’m saying this as somebody that has Firefox with several tabs, Libreoffice, two heavy electron apps, an email client and other miscellaneous bits and bobs open while only using just under 6GB of RAM.

How is that API still up after this has happened?

I never really saw the point of downvotes/reduces on Lemmy and Kbin. There isn’t an equivalent of those actions on other Fediverse projects (except if you count reactions on Pleroma) and it causes problems like what you have described.
I use the kbin enhancement script’s option to hide the reduce button because I have no reason to touch it.

Reddit has downvotes as a means of rating down content that doesn’t contribute to the discussion or is spammy, but it tends to be used as a lazy “I disagree” button that attracts bandwaggoning. Why put in the effort to explain why you disagree with something when you can just hit the down arrow and be done?

Thank you for doing that :D

To give some more information on this, reddit can “shadowban” users, which will cause all of the user’s submissions and comments following the shadowban to be automatically removed. Moderators of subreddits can see and can “Approve” these removed comments on subreddits they moderate, but only reddit admins can remove the shadowban from the user if they appeal. This shadowban system is often used on spammers so that they waste time spamming into the ether without realising it, however the shadowban would affect all of their comments and submissions, not ones with a specific link in them.

Reddit does also maintain a list of domains commonly used for spam purposes. I believe ibb.co is an example of a domain on that list that instantly gets any comment or submission it is in removed.

When a comment is removed, it is replaced with “[removed]” text, however this can only be seen by other users if there are any replies to the comment. Otherwise the comment disappears from view except to the user themselves and the subreddit’s moderators.

@Crass_Spektakel you should try testing this in places other than the subreddit you have seen this in. Subreddit moderators can apply their own link filters and automatically remove comments and submissions without notifying the user.
