Why can I see some communities while logged out, but not while logged in?

This seems to be random. These are communities on the instance I'm logged into. AFAICT I'm not being blocked in these communities. I'm not even sure if mods *can *block someone from seeing a community. I'm guessing this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread on it.

Are you using Voyager? I've noticed a similar thing and didn't know if it was a Lemmy issue or Voyager issue.

Wow, I didn't realize he was still with us. But the man was/is a baseball legend. A true inspiration! RIP.

Damn. That's dedication.

We built a mean game to test AI's ability to apologise ( www.bbc.com )

The project was a test to see how artificial intelligence might change one of the most delicate types of human interaction: the interpersonal apology. The companies who make AI-powered chatbots suggest we should find ways to insert them into our lives when we don’t know what to say or how to say it. That’s all well and good...

Generally speaking, this might be fact. (Am American)

Ian McKellen On Reprising ‘Lord Of The Rings’ Gandalf Character In Gollum Movie: “If I’m Alive” ( deadline.com )

Ian McKellen gave life to Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, and as Peter Jackson returns to Middle-earth with The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, many fans want to know if the actor would reprise his role.

If that happens, they better not shove him in front of a bunch of green screens and ask him to act with a tennis ball again! That shit was fucked.

I don't own a radial arm saw, but is that not backwards? The left side of the guard has the smooth slope, which seems like it'd raise up over a workpiece easier than the right side. But take my comment with a grain of salt...

ytsedude ,

Ah, nice. Thanks!

ytsedude ,

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen this one. Maybe it didn't make any of the collections...?

ytsedude ,

Ah. I have most but not. So I guess it's in one of the ones I'm missing, ha!

I know this is the ultimate cliche answer, but it's gotta be Sephiroth for me. The original FVII just caught me at that perfect time.

Spoilers ahead...

When you play through FFVII (the original, that is--I haven't played the remakes yet), you only just hear about Sephiroth at first. Then you see some of the carnage that he's caused: the President of Shinra dead at his desk and the super difficult snake boss piked on a giant stake.

In one of the flashbacks, he's doing freaking research. That sounds boring and bland, but it was a level of depth to a villain that most people (or at least I) had never seen before. In another flashback, Cloud as a new recruit is with Sephiroth, and the difference in power is incredible. Sephiroth makes child's play of this enormous dragon.

The final battle(s) is fantastic, and his theme song--hinted at throughout the game by Uematsu's classic score--is iconic. Phallic imagery aside, the Masamune blade is simple but super cool. And he freaking _kills Aerith?!_ Can he do that?! A friend of mine stopped playing the game for weeks after he got to that part.

A lot of these things are super common in games now, and I know there are several games before FFVII that had characters with this amount of depth (FFVI comes to mind), but Sephiroth is just the coolest, man!!

This is a good move. It keeps the chickens healthier, which is good for them, the people who raise them, and the supply chain who depend on them.

ytsedude ,

Hey, could you spread out your posts, please? I love this type of art, but it's sorta annoying when it's every other post in my Home feed...

ytsedude ,

Thanks, dude. I appreciate how much you add to the instance! You're doing some great work. Maybe just spread the love a little. 😂😬
