A place to share screenshots of Microblog posts, whether from Mastodon, tumblr, ~~Twitter~~ X, KBin, Threads or elsewhere.

Created as an evolution of White People Twitter and other tweet-capture subreddits.

RULES:

  1. Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.
  6. Absolutely no NSFL content.
  7. Be nice. Don't take anything personally. Take political debates to the appropriate communities. Take personal disagreements & arguments to private messages.
  8. No advertising, brand promotion, or guerrilla marketing.

Uhh.. Yes I do expect it to resume back to normal. Why the fuck wouldn't it?

Sure, if I connect it to the internet I expect all sorts to updates to be missing. But offline? 1 day or 100 years shouldn't make any difference. OK the CMOS battery might be flat.

@Eh_I@lemmy.world, selflessly patching and inflating leaking mothers everywhere. Do you offer maternal rotation and balancing as well?

This is the content I come to Lemmy for.

Thank you, she's been trying to lose weight recently

The case in the tweet wasn't a hardware problem. Apparently the person's PSN account had gotten deleted during their 10+ years of not using it, and downloaded games attached to the account didn't work any more.

Imagine if some Sony executive broke into your house and stole the games off your shelf because you hadn't played them for a long time. Thats what happened here.

[–] jnod4@lemmy.ca 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

It never happens to a pirated game I heard

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

if its not theft for them to steal your games away from you, then its not piracy to download their games.

[–] Eh_I@lemmy.world 15 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

That's still a pretty big fucking problem.

Yeah, but playing a physical copy of a game would be a fairer comparison to older systems.

[–] jack_of_sandwich@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 7 hours ago

And

  1. the account shouldn't have been deleted

  2. the account being deleted shouldn't stop the downloaded games from working.

Both are Sony's fault
