Here's how you tune into Fun Kids on DAB Digital Radio
Mastodon: @confusedbunny
Yes, my Mastodon username mentions bunnies, yet the bunny avatar is on this profile, and the Lemming which might indicate Lemmy (this is Kbin, but I am subbed to Lemmy communities) is over there. Don't question.

The dev does plan to open source it I believe.
Yes, it does.
Shame, but understandable. I'd pretty much come to the same conclusion that the interface and concept is really nice, but the backend just isn't working properly. I've migrated most of my communities off already due to issues.

How To Run Lemmings Revolution in Windows 10
I picked this up in a charity shop some time ago and was trying to run it on Windows 95 with no luck. Just happened upon this guide which says it works on Windows 10 - ran through it and played the first couple of easy levels. It does work!

I realised some time back that my first name backwards made me sound like a knight. I've failed to utilise this in usernames except maybe once.

www.lbc.co.uk ‘It’s a pub not a post office!’: Brits slam new trend of ‘single file’ queues in pubs and call for return of tradition
A ‘campaign’ has called on the British public to put an end to a ‘worrying’ new trend of forming a single file queue in pubs and instead restore the age-old tradition of queueing at the bar.
So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.
Kbin magazine articles from remotes don't federate properly until interacted with
codeberg.org Kbin magazine threads do not federate until interacted with.
Scenario: a magazine "M" is hosted on kbin. User "A" on an external instance (specifically Lemmy, I'm unsure if this also happens when this external user is also on kbin) posts a thread to magazine M. User "B" on a different external instance cannot see user A's new thread. I have encountered this ...
I did some further testing of federation issues, and have discovered that Kbin (at least Fedia) magazine articles don't federate to remote instances unless they are interacted with on the host instance.
YSK: If you own a magazine on Kbin, make a point of interacting with everything (just an upvote is fine) to ensure it gets pushed out and seen, at least until this is fixed.
(that includes this article, can't see it from Lemmy until it gets interacted with on kbin.social!)
Stuffed Fables, or The Adventures Of Robin Hood (not played the latter but I believe it's a similar adventure gamebook system)
Yes, this doesn't make sense. How I thought it worked is that the originating server would push the new article to the home instance, and the other instances then pull from there (or the home server pushes; whatever, same net effect). If that isn't how it works, I don't see how it can work, as every server which posts to a magazine would need to know who subscribes to it. Certainly in the case of Mastodon, it doesn't have a concept of this, yet can post to communities/magazines and the comments federate out (maybe comments work differently though? There doesn't appear to be a problem with comments as far as I can tell)
Chaos is a brilliant multiplayer turn-based strategy game.
Lemmings is the perfect puzzle game (also shameless plug for !lemmings)
Nothing posted from outside Fedia federates out
Nothing posted from Lemmy to a Fedia magazine is federating out to that magazine/community on other Lemmy instances. I don't think it is working for kbin either.
eg. https://fedia.io/m/ukdtt/t/143141/DTT-licence-updates-26-Jul-2023 - posted from feddit.uk to a fedia.io magazine (and has successfully reached the home instance), has not turned up on https://rabbitea.rs/c/ukdtt@fedia.io
Checking other magazines I don't think this is working properly for any of them, but don't know if it is just fedia or a wider kbin problem.
Anyone else seen similar?
...which I see now are local links with /c/ so not the issue we're discussing here!
Most links have been working fine for me recently, although I still occasionally see this error. However, it appears that links to kbin magazines don't work at all. I suspect Connect is searching for server/c/community and not retrying with server/m/community when it gets an error back.

There are warnings the extreme heat could continue for a further 10 days in parts of Italy.
I think Kbin converted it to a full link! Should have created this thread with Lemmy really (btw, Chris/floppy in this thread is also me)
Links to communities try to open users
Full URL links to communities appear to open fine - even if the instance isn't aware of that community (hurray! thank you for this, it's ace!)
However, links with exclamation marks seem to try to open a user.
I'm going to try putting one in here, but I'm posting from kbin so it might go a bit weird or not exhibit the same problem.

I was sent this fruit cake as a thank you for some software I wrote, back in the 2000s. It's from a famous fruit cake place in USA (I forget where now) and was delicious.

Having trouble sleeping?
I post about the original Direct Debit website from time to time and get the impression nobody cares. So I thought I'd try you lot! It's the most surreal "corporate" website I've ever seen, a product from the early web when the website was just run by the work experience kid and nobody in management actually understood what it was.
It's worth going forward to 1998-ish on web.archive.org too, as it was refreshed a bit then. I fairly recently managed to locate the Man vs Marrow screensaver, maybe I'll post about that some other time.
