No, but I'd definitely download one if I could!

I've had asparagus ice cream. It was fantastic!

I really hope that takes off because that would be awesome. Same with issue tracking.

What is it with far right nutters trying to destroy the grid? What are they getting out of it?

@Maestro@fedia.io avatar

Ok, and how does an attack on the energy grid bring us back to their version of what makes a good society?

Does this work with ublock? I noticed some consent popups are broken with ublock annoyances filter.

It depends on the cultivar, but usually yes!

9 years later, I finally played fallout 4

Having dropped New Vegas in the past due to lost interest, I decided to try this game out finally since a friend of mine was having a fallout 3 playthrough himself. It was it 8 bucks, so I figured why not. I have to say, I put way more hours into this game than both other Bethesda games I've played through (Skyrim and Oblivion)...

I lost interest in this game half way through. I really don't like how the enemies level up with you. I was about 2/3rds through the main quest line when the bad guys became such bullet sponges that it wasn't fun anymore. Like, multiple nukes to the face and they still keep coming.

I far prefer games where the enemies scale by location, not the player.

How many times must we teach you this lesson, old man?

How old is the oldest building in the town you live in?

To those from the Western hemisphere, it's always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the...

My home town has a building built originally in 1220. It is still in use by a pub. That's over 800 years old!

I’m also jealous of people who’ve never owned these games and other bundles like it. They get to experience something for the first time.

That would be me! Your comment made me buy the bundle. I never played any of the Mass Effect games. Truth be told, I have no idea what they are even about 😄

The point of advertising is bidding and tracking, so they will be loaded online, always. But they f they go over the same connection as the game itself then pi-hole can't block it.

If they can use PPC then they will. It's far more lucratieve.

I'm out of the loop. What's the problem with Whoopy?

She didn't defend him, and actually did a 180 once proof came out.

Woodworking is very popular among techies for a reason. As are playing music and climbing (bouldering)

I never understood why people run Ubuntu on servers. It's madness. Ubuntu is a fork of unstable Debian packages. You don't want unstable on your server!

Ubuntu on Desktop I can understand. Back in the days the Debian release was really long so much software was a tad outdated after a couple of years. But Debian had a much faster release cycle now, and had pretty much incorporated all the good stuff from Ubuntu and left the bad behind.

Maestro ,
@Maestro@fedia.io avatar

Definitely. But back in the day it was good for desktops. Ubuntu has never been good for servers.

I'm not sure. Similar communities at different instances can have very different rules and vibes. There's a reason people prefer talking politics on Beehaw versus Hexbear.

I like the Kbin solution so far. Leave communities separate but cross-link and deduplicate individual threads from multiple communities in your feed. The implementation at Kbin is still a bit flawed, but the idea is sound.

I think many farmers are being played for fools. They are being astroturfed by big agri businesses run by corporate billionaires.

Federation means making copies. Hundreds of them. If you attach a copyright license to a comment then each and every instance that federates your comment would have to abide by it. That is just not possible. If you want to write stuff on the internet and copyright it, start a blog or something. By posting on the fediverse you implicitly allow copying.

Maestro ,
@Maestro@fedia.io avatar

You can't rely on fair use because fair use works differently around the world, if it exists at all.

As for copyright, you agree to terms & conditions when you sign up for your fediverse account. These should include language that grants permission to use everything you submit for federation.

Maestro ,
@Maestro@fedia.io avatar

Maybe. I don't think anyone's thought that far ahead yet. At least the lemmy devs give hosters the option to add a click through agreement to the signup page.

I know a guy who always wears shorts, even in freezing winter temperatures. Hell, he got married in shorts.

It depends, really. I turned my hobby into a profession and I am mostly happy. I lost a hobby, absolutely. I don't practice my craft much anymore outside of work, but I do have a job I really like. And I found new hobbies over the years. But yes, I did loose a hobby.

The entire "credit rating" system is totally insane and dystopian for people outside the US. Where I am from, we only ever register bad credit, not good credit. If you want to buy a house and need to get a mortgage they can ask for your credit rating. But that only shows how much your current obligations to other creditors are, and whether you have had trouble paying them. And you only cartain obligations are allowed to be shown on such a report.

In my country, someone with no credit card history whatsoever is in a better position to get a mortgage than someone who has a credit card and pays it off every month. The fact that the US is the reverse is just mad.

Maestro ,
@Maestro@fedia.io avatar

We absolutely should. As long as they have enough stable income to support it. Rough guidelines in The Netherlands is that you can get a mortgage for about 4-5x your yearly income (subtract any other loans like credit cards, phone contracts or cars), and for no more than the house is actually valuated at (unless you're going to remodel, then you can borrow for the estimated value after it is done).

I use Alacritty on Gnome just because it has better window decorations than Kitty.

Maestro ,
@Maestro@fedia.io avatar

Gnome refuses to implement Server Side Decorations on Wayland (because... reasons) so applications are forced to draw their own. Kitty's decorations are very bare bones and ugly. Alacritty's decorations match much better with the rest of Gnome.

On the other hand, how dumb do you have to be to photoshop a picture and release it like that? That's just asking for the frenzy.

Using the TOTP of the vault is fine for normal people. You're trying to protect against apps and sites leaking your password. TOTP in the vault does that. If they can access your vault then it's already game-over.
