For anyone who wants to avoid fandom: https://getindie.wiki/

Redirects any fandom wiki to their Indie alternative which are in most cases the only ones actually being updated.

For every wiki where that isn't possible because they only exist on fandom, it redirects them to alternative frontends, which remove all the fandom crap.

Whenever I hear someone say that something is impossible with current technology, I think about my grandma. When she was a kid, only some important people had telephones. Doctors, police, etc.

In her lifetime we went from that to today, and, since she's still alive, even further into the future.

Whenever someone calls something impossible, I think about how far technology will progress in my own lifetime and I know that they've got no idea what they're talking about. (Unless, like you said, it's against the laws of physics. But sometimes even then I'm not so sure, cause it's not like we understand those entirely. )

It's still possible and last time I used it, it was about as easy as can be.

When I last did it, you just downloaded the regular program, installed it, then you ran a patcher and that was it. This was a couple years ago now, but Adobe already had their current business model.

Communities: Basically impossible, unless Meta/Facebook has a public list somewhere.

Instances: That will be public, because they have to register the domain somewhere and I'll also assume that they will actually want people to know which ones are theirs, so their users join those.

Next time, try "what difference does it make?"

In case you and others want the answer to that: If it's an allergy the restaurant will (or has to, depending on the jurisdiction) use separate pots, knives, pans, etc. for your meal to avoid cross contamination.

If it's just a preference they don't need to do that, because you won't die if any small pieces of the things you don't like end up in your food.

They said on Twitter and in the comments of the linked post, that there won't be any bikes at all at release.

They'll very likely be a DLC.

and then they break it and decide the cost of a repair isn't worth it

Yep, that was me with my previous phone, which I did indeed have for over 5 years.

But there's another major factor to it.

I use Android phones, which get official software updates for only a couple years (3 years for the most part). This includes security updates.

So when I got my current one it was one of only two I even considered, because only those two manufacturers promised 5 years of (security) updates at the time.

It has gotten better though, but except for Fairphone they're still all very hard or impossible to repair.

My Nexus account has a simplelogin email adress. Granted, it's one of the premium domains so the free ones may fail, but you could try that.

Same.

I wasn't convinced at the very beginning, but once they had the hangar demo out, with that insanely detailed, intractable spaceship, I was so impressed I spend about a hundred dollars on it to "help development".

At this point I've long since given up hope this mess will be finished in a reasonable timeframe. I'm just glad Starfield is coming up and from the trailers and interviews it's looking like a suitable replacement.

And since it's the creation engine again, any major or minor mistakes will have a mod that fixes them sooner or later.

Previously, if you shared your library and someone else was playing any game, they would get ejected from said game and be unable to play any other game, as soon as you started to play any game whatsoever.

This made it more or less useless.

Now they changed it to where you can only play the same game as many times as your family collectively owns it. So, if your family member plays a game you only have a single copy of, they can keep doing so, until you start that exact game. You may still need to activate the client beta for this, but it'll be active for everyone eventually. (Don't know if it is yet, as I'm using the beta)

Let's put it this way: If in our lifetime we can simulate the intelligence of a vinegar fly as general intelligence, that would be a monumental landmark in AGI. And we're far, far, far away from it.

I get what you mean here and I agree with it, if we're talking about current "AI", which isn't anywhere close. I know, because I've programmed some simple "AIs" (Mainly ML models) myself.

But your comparison to ancient egypt is somewhat lacking, considering we had the aptly named dark ages between then and now.

Lot's of knowledge got lost all the time during humanity's history, but ever since the printing press, and more recently the internet, came into existence, this problem has all but disappeared. As long as humanity doesn't nuke itself back to said dark ages, I recon we aren't that far away from AGI, or at least something close to it. Maybe not in my lifetime, but another ~2000 years seems a little extreme.

They can, but just like real bees they lose their stinger when they do and die shortly thereafter.

They have explicitly stated that bikes (and bike lanes) won't exist in the base game at release. It is a bit hidden, as they wrote that only on Twitter and in a comment under dev diary 1.

Bikes will almost certainly be a DLC again.

Another pixel 6 user here.

I personally chose the Pixel over other Android phones, because Google guarantees 5 years of security updates.

Unlike everyone else, where you're lucky to get even 3 years of updates.

I had heard about the project but thought: What is my data gonna accomplish? I didn't really play anything outside the Pokémon games, which they probably have thousands of duplicates of.

The very last section is what got me. Cause there were like 1-2 games I've never seen anyone else play that I did play and after reading that it only takes a couple minutes, if your system is modded, I took my two modded 3DS' and send my data.

Even if there's nothing new in there, this is a worthy cause.

I remember trying to play those (and failing miserably because I of how young I was). Maybe I should give them another go.

You might want to give the "The Room" series a shot. It starts out as just a digital puzzle box, but gets more involved as the series goes on and explores lovecraftian themes. There are monsters, but they're set pieces or serve to further the story and typically only show up for a couple seconds or so in cutscenes. I personally dislike horror games, mostly because of jumpscares, and I'm completely fine with these games.

There are versions for iOS, Android, Windows, Switch and even a VR one, that is really well made. I would personally recommend the Steam versions, because they are a lot more detailed.

As someone also using Kagi:

1. There's a free tier, so you can try it out as much as you want (technically you only get 100 searches, but as with all free trials you can just make a new account)

2. There's a cheaper tier at $5 now, which gets you 300 searches per month. Depending on how much you use it, that might just be enough.

I have also used that in the past, but when I did it only redirected fandom to BreezeWiki and not the other independent wiki.

For example, Indie Wiki Buddy does this, while libredirect didn't: oldschoolrunescape.fandom.com -> oldschool.runescape.wiki

And it still doesn't say it does that. Am I wrong with that? Cause I'd definitely use libredirect if that was the case.

Hey, another Joey user.

Nice.

Usually doesn't get mentioned when people talk about third party apps.

I'm using Edge for work and I know what you're talking about, but you can just turn almost all of it off. Edge is pretty customizable. It doesn't beat Firefox but it's still decent.

It's times like these where I love having a Gouvernement that actually cares about protecting my data.

For the future and anyone else who reads this:

I know that. And Indie Wiki Buddy redirects to the new wiki, while libredirect doesn't.

I used ORS as an example. The same goes for most wikis I personally use. Path of exile, Terraria, etc. all have migrated to new wikis and Indie Wiki Buddy redirects all links from the old fandom pages to the new wikis.
