First, I get the impression that bridging between services is not mature. To make up an example, federating Lemmy with Mastodon will let you see some, but not all, of the replies, upvotes, reactions, etc., and that the information that gets lost varies depending on which side you're looking from. (That exact example might not be accurate, but that's the sort of concern I've read about.)

Second, I've read that even federation between instances of the same services is not reliable. The main selling point of federation is that the instance you create an account on is largely arbitrary, and that most federated content is visible to you regardless. However, I also frequently see the caveat that

The only way you'd ever find the seed is if you know it exists in the first place and go searching for it on the wiki. Accessing the seed is then essentially just an option that is arbitrarily locked behind finding and typing a code.

I imagine a common response will be "it's fun" or "why not?" with varying degrees of hostility. But I'd argue that it makes for a worse game. The benefit of secret seeds is that a vanishingly small percentage of players get the amusement of trying to find the codes.

But a much larger portion of players just see "there are more options, but we won't tell you what they are ;) " and realize it means that there's yet another thing we have to consult the wiki about

I am attempting to install the Hytale launcher. It worked successfully twice already, but I realized I needed it installed on my SD card rather than internal storage. I tried moving and linking the folders, but the game stopped opening, so I'm attempting another fresh install.

However, the Discover store will not install the flatpak with the message "Failed sending data to peer." I tried Googling this in quotes and Google reported zero results, so it appears that literally nobody else on the Internet has ever once encountered this problem.

The installation fails regardless of whether the flatpak is on the SD card or within internal storage.

If not, and if there if no New Game Plus, their inclusion would strike me as pointless, since you can't do anything with them by the time you get them.

I'm out of things to try. Following every guide online to the letter yields no other results.

Season 2 ended with the conclusion of the protagonists' stories and the resolution of all remaining plot threads. We got closure and emotional impact with the man's death. The show had run its course in a very intentional way and should have been allowed to end.

This was impeding me for the entire game and cost me the run.

This is bullshit, brb guards comin

Saw the weekly thread about how to better understand what you're reading and curious to know what yalls thoughts are on using AI in that process.

There was a period earlier on the year where I'd put a chapter from a book in gpt and do some close reading with it. Mainly touching on theme, what the author was trying to do, character analysis etc. Was a good tool to help me understand some parts I might have missed and a landing pad for ideas/reactions.

I've since stopped as I've been increasingly feeling as tho I am going against the "don't not copy" request that some authors have in their books. However in the same light i

It's demonstrably fine to not pay attention to the craft when reading.

Read it how you like, but it's not a requirement that you keep track of all the elements of how the narrative is told. It also doesn't make you a more advanced reader if you do keep track.

Personally I think too many people first learned how to read books in school and carried over all the habits of literary critique assuming that they're essential parts of reading. I sometimes feel like half the subreddit reads like they're preparing for a quiz at the end.
