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

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

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!

Looks great. Is this from the makers of Don't Starve and Rotwood? It looks familliar.

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 Back in the days the Debian release was really long so much software was a tad outdated after a couple of years.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.

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.

It's beautiful but does anyone know if it's minifig-scale? It looks too big for that.

But is it no-code so I can fire all my developers?

Remember, that's the third time you have to pay! The first rug pull is when you buy the game and then find out that the entire world is utterly devoid of players because everyone only plays the latest expansion. But you can't access it because you don't have a subscription. On top of a full price game.

Besides the switcheroo, I also think it's sad for WoW. Its world is massive and beautiful and utterly dead. Everyone is only in the latest zone. The game would be better named "Zone of Warcraft". I love how e.g. Elder Scrolls Online solved it. They made all zones viable. You will see players everywhere. It's a real contrast.

Maestro ,

I prefer subscriptions too. I balk at asking full price for a game, and then finding out you need a subscription on top as well.

Maestro ,
@Maestro@fedia.io avatar

They are not hiding that you need a subscription to access the latest expansion. But they don't tell you the rest of the game is dead so you need the latest expansion to do basically anything.

Maestro ,
@Maestro@fedia.io avatar

There's plenty to do outside the latest expansion

If you treat it as a single player game maybe. There are very few players outside the latest expansion. Maybe a few power-levelling alts. Some quests are almost impossible because you're supposed to do them with multiple people and there's nobody around.

I prefer the Elder Scrolls Online way. It has far less power creep and more sideways progression, so people run all content all the time.

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.

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.

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).

Suicide squad, a live service turd. And it flopped. Big. Meanwhile Hogwards is making tons of money as a normal single player game. So the studio does the only sane thing: they announced they are ditching single player games to focus on live service games.

I swear these companies are run by morons....

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.
