This is genuinely the only bug I encounter on a regular basis. The other one I have also posted about but have been assured it's "as intended" ("mark all as read" does not, in fact, mark all messages as read - private messages will show a notification unless you go to your comment replies and click the checkmark there. Totally intuitive right!) - but I don't have as many PMs as I used to so it doesn't bother me much anymore

    Started using Boost for Lemmy when I made my account. The whole time, the "View all comments" button has never worked; after a while I made this post highlighting the issue, and have seen a handful submitted by others stating the same thing. Several updates later, it still does not work, and remains incredibly frustrating when returning to a thread via a reply several child-comments deep.

    Edit: I'm no programmer, but what I believe to be a simple fix would be to change the destination of the link to the URL of the post.. my guess is there's some holdover code in there from the reddit days that simply isn't translating.

    Edit: fixed as of Nov 4 2026. Thanks!

    I don't think you understand. These poor companies are only doing what they must to provide excellent products and services to the masses. If you cannot afford them, simply stop being poor.

    Thank you for writing and posting this. I'm not huge in the scene but have noticed a large amount of posts in this community claiming XYZ game from 30+ years ago has been emulated. Recently there was the post here from the guy that recreated "Z" (a game I admittedly had not heard of), and he responded to every comment in the thread, accept the one asking if AI was used to port it. Like, if you used AI, just say you did! I'm not vehemently against it in the right application and recreating an old game seems like a decent use case for it. But the fact that they shied away from the question says that not only was it made using AI, it was probably entirely made with AI and barely tested.

    I used to see a headline saying that a game had been recreated, and immediately think "hell yeah" and move on. I don't think that I have ever installed one of these games and actually played them before. With the rise of AI development, I don't even get the blip of excitement anymore, I just say "neat", assume some people are really happy to play a childhood favorite, and that's it.

    Hey everyone, I've been playing Guitar Hero since the first one came out, and have an Xbox 360 that is kept alive so I can continue doing so. The guitar controller I have that's in best condition has had issues with the green fret button for years now. When I went to play just now, it took several attempts just to launch the game from the Xbox home screen, so I finally decided to take things apart and look at it, however I think the fix I found can be accomplished without disassembling anything (though it requires basic soldering knowledge, and taking apart the neck of the guitar is very easy and will give you more room).

    Guitar neck contact points

    On the left is what the little contactor board originally looked like; note the divots in the center of each pad where the spring-loaded pins on the body of the guitar press against. The right one is the one that I experimented on, you can just barely make out the divots left in the bead of solder I put on each contactor. The contact pads seem to be too thin for how strong the springs for the pins are; a little solder gives the pins a fresh surface to make a good connection, and much more material to push through (even if the pin does wear all the way through, there will be enough solder surrounding it to make a good connection).

    After ~2 hours of playing just now, no issues on any of the fret buttons!

    Hope this helps someone! Rock on! 🤘🏾

     

    I travel a lot for work. As such, I eat out a lot. As such such, I look at a lot of places' menus without physically being there (since I don't know the area, I don't know where to eat, so I look at the reviews and images posted online).

    A restaurant's soup selection will likely not be the thing that decides if I eat there or somewhere else, but sometimes soup is the only side dish that sounds appetizing, and if I don't know what kind of soup the restaurant serves I'll probably just pick somewhere else.
