Avatar is a lemming in bed because this account wasn’t intended to be used except for creating communities… and then my instance announced it was closing.
Yep, it’s a PITA to parse and get the values you want. Much prefer JSON. Recently when I needed to parse XML I ran it through an XML to JSON library. Much easier!
If you need to parse XML just for RSS though, it isn’t so bad as there are RSS specific libraries which take most of the pain away.
I can only assume you’ve never tried to parse or read XML.
It makes me wonder how these people sleep at night.
I’ve watched the first one - it’s alright! I thought it might be US-centric but David Braben is in it.
I’m not sure if they have a universal app, it’s definitely available on Roku devices.
There are a lot of people I follow who moved to Mastodon, that now appear to have moved to Bluesky (I’m seeing posts on there from people I know used to post on Mastodon).
I’m not sure why. If I move over it’ll be because everybody else is there. At the moment I’m not using it much.
I set up an account on neodb.social recently. Other than the fact if you search for anything it’s all in Chinese, you can search for URLs and get the English versions.
Not sure about DOS, but Windows 10 will happily run 16-bit Windows software. You have to use the 32-bit version of Windows though - the 64-bit version dropped support.
My retro-esque communities:
In which case I suggest you file a GDPR violation against all web browsers, as by default they will be allowing tracking and sending data to advertisers.
But it’s OK to send more - and probably PII - tracking data directly to the website without consent?
How does this violate the GDPR? It increases privacy and stops advertisers tracking everything you do. This seems to be a good thing.
Advertisers have always been interested in where their ads are seen and whether they convert to purchases. A common example is vouchers, which will tell the advertiser exactly this (10p off, customer redeems, store returns to advertiser, advertiser knows where you got the voucher from/where you saw the advert, where you bought the product - exactly what Firefox is trying to tell them)

A couple of (my) gaming related ones:
I need to do a proper new community post for this:
I was going to put Bedfordshire in brackets next to that, but I forgot. I knew it could cause confusion!
I don’t think it’s the same thing? Fedigrow is discussing how to grow, whereas this one is for posting communities and asking for people to post in them (to help them grow). Similar, but not the same. I think if fedigrow was inundated with “please post in xxxx community” that would be annoying, whereas here it’s expected.
I think the rest of my communities haven’t seen activity lately, so I’ll have to post in them first!
!boardgames@sopuli.xyz is the one I normally use now feddit.de is down. It seems a bit dead though.
!boardgames@lemmy.world is active as per your criteria.
