What do you mean by user abstraction? First I've seen this mentioned, or put this way.

Has this been your experience?

I think [email protected] may still be having some issues? From programming.dev it seems to infinitely load, but when clicking a link to visit from another instance, or refreshing the page, it shows an error of, "couldnt_find_community".

Have you tried throwing stuff at your human while playing to teach them to throw, not take?

That disconnect in expectations is definitely what I had in mind in asking this, yeah. One hears game, thinks fun, it doesn't fit their idea of fun, and the game unintentionally disappoints in the process.

Or like some exhibits in a museum, but also media like Flower. It's called a video game, but I feel like that's for lack of a better term more than anything. It's lovely whatever you may call it.

I knew I forgot something, sorry...I'm asking in terms of crafted, interactive activities that aren't necessarily aiming to be fun. More like a little dry but still interesting and thought-provoking.

 

I'm asking in terms of crafted, interactive activities that aren't necessarily aiming to be fun. Say a little more serious or dry, but still interesting, thought-provoking, and emotionally compelling.

 

Think of some stuff you may already self-host but it'd make it easier (and maybe keep your config simpler) to suggest to others if it had a desktop/mobile app version

I'm asking about before anyone has subscribed to remote instances' stuff, how do they find the remote instances' stuff to begin with? Sorry, having trouble finding a clearer way to ask this without getting in the weeds

yeah, but you gave me an even better idea: fake eggs filled with even more dampening material! it would be eggstravagant!

is this how you start a polyamorous relationship?

My question is coming more from the perspective of, "i think i'd like to try voice chatting but i really don't want to be that roommate someone wants to strangle"

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago (3 children)

but something as simple and cheap as paper egg cartons on your walls will greatly reduce how much sound gets through.

Hadn't come across this before, thanks!

silly follow-upwould keeping and rotating the eggs improve the sound dampening?

 

Original clunky title: How do ActivityPub instances' people initially find remote instances' people/communities/channels/etc. to vary their feeds?

Given that an instance won't see remote instance's people and stuff to follow/subscribe to until someone there has found them and followed/subscribed...That's generally how ActivityPub works, isn't it?

 

I know using a headset helps, but you're still talking, so...Do you adjust the mic settings to pick up even as you speak quieter, or...?

How do you check to ensure you're still audible enough to those on the other end if you do that?

Also this isn't a shared room situation, so that helps, but I want to be sure I'm not being too loud.

Thanks for any advice!
