Everyday more and more people use thorbot's shit hole.

I'll kill for peace

The most important part of this is:

the vast majority of people never cared

We make our happy little bubble here to be outraged in. The world at large carries on without caring. Just in the past few years, there's been the Reddit API change, the WhatsApp ToS change, the YouTube dislike button removal, etc etc. A small minority (like us) complains endlessly. The rest of the world shrugs and accepts enshitification.

The only thing that can protect from a child killer, is a child killer killer. The solution is to have more killers. Stop trying to regulate killers.

With sleep, meals, etc included. She was even making money while pooping. This was clearly a win for her.

I'm 6 months into fulltime OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and love it. KDE is amazing. The Steam Deck converted me. Linux users rise.

Linux users rise

Where can I buy this guy's outfit?

Every eventuality can't be covered by regulation. Sometimes you realise something can go disastrously wrong after someone is hurt. I wouldn't be surprised if this never happened to other mechanical cars to never need regulation. Sometimes you need to wait for a stupid product to exist for someone to make a rule saying "stupid products shouldn't exist".

People don't know and don't care. Privacy isn't an issue on anyone's mind (just like climate wasn't 20 years ago). People don't know or care about digital media ownership issues.

Is Skullgirls still alive? Is there much of a player base?

Most people online seem to feel quite strongly about it.

I'm quite strongly against it. I was really happy that my Nintendo Switch Hori controller didn't have rumble, because then I didn't have to bother turning it off in every game.

But then again I'm odd with a lot of things. I see no difference between 60Hz refresh and 120 Hz. High end speakers mean nothing to me. Movies are all the same to me in 4K or high quality 1080p. High settings in games add nothing for me over medium graphical settings. It works out really well for me. I can buy cheap electronics that I really enjoy.

I don't understand. I'm at a loss here.

Good. This is how YouTube dies. This is how Google dies. This is how competitors/alternatives are born. Stop fighting to make Google services useable against every effort of theirs. Let them drive people away to make (or discover) alternatives.

Even lurkers are still part of the community.

I started out looking for an exact replacement for Reddit (where I mostly lurk). Initially I thought the lack of content and traffic on Lemmy was a bad thing, but I now see it as early days of a community and lack of content means I have a chance to make a post or comment that is valued and gets engagement from other users. Reddit was so mature that anything I wanted to post was either already there, not welcome or buried under an ocean of other content/comments. If you use both you could even find good content on Reddit to crosspost on Lemmy.

It's quite nice being part of a small community now. Even just an up/down vote from you will be worth more here. It's great.

Many women think this is what men do in the toilet.

It should be fine. You'll have to be thorough in removing personal information. I would prioritise giving it to someone I know rather than a complete stranger.

Everyone else seems to be very concerned about the terms of service, but I don't know why ToS is of utmost importance to everyone suddenly. Anyone would gladly share their streaming service passwords, would previously rip CDs or DVDs, use VPNs to circumvent porn restriction laws in their country, lied in sites/apps to sign up as a teen, etc......suddenly Steam ToS is somehow sacrosanct.

This came up recently when Steam confirmed your account cannot be left to anyone else when you die. The conclusion everyone seems to mention there is: if you leave your username and password in your will, how would Steam ever know or enforce this?

Go ahead. Do what you want.

Synology NAS (basically a hard drive always connected to the home network and internet) - has been amazing for auto-backing-up photos from the family phones and for running Plex run my own personal streaming service for the whole family around the world. Has been great for file transfer too. I can easily move files between my phone, PC, Steam Deck, etc and all the USB memory sticks I had have been sitting in a drawer ever since.

Exercise compression thermals - wear these is super comfortable and really warm. I wear them constantly at home and can have the heating off almost all winter (UK). Saves tons of energy and money.

Electric blanket - another great low energy purchase for relaxing under when watching TV or warming up the bed before sleeping. Gets super hot while hardly using any energy at all.

Split unit air con installation - this was expensive and I thought it would be unnecessary in the UK, but it seems to be used more and more every summer as we get more heatwaves and summers are becoming unbearable.

Safety razors - I have really thick facial hair and the multi-blade razors from big name brands would dull really quickly and cause tons of shaving rash. These razors are sharper, last longer, are recyclable and much better for my skin.

Liquid ink refillable rollerball pens - I tried fountain pens after seeing the online communities that are crazy about them, and really didn't like them. I found rollerball pens I like that take fountain pen ink and have been super happy with them. I write a lot at work and this has gotten rid of the plastic waste of throwing away used disposable ballpoint refills every couple of weeks.

Hitbox controller - I've been playing Street Fighter 6 since release and I made a leverless controller box myself and I've loved using it to play SF6. Managed to make it for one third the price of what these things sell for and completely customised it.

I'm not religious at all. But in responding to your question OP: we don't have to understand why people believe. Religion just isn't for us, and that's fine. Other people find it has value, and that's fine too. The fact that religion has lasted this long with this many people is proof in itself that there's some value people get out of it. We don't have to get it to understand that.

All the comments here that explain religion solely as dumb or irrational are just as closed minded as the people they're criticising.

8 ads? So the funeral only lasted 5 min?

Using this opportunity to shine a spotlight on what he did has been informative though. I didn't know what he did. The only problem is that people post memes without any information for people to learn.

I searched for an watched a YouTube video about it......and I regret it immensely.

Fast forward half way and see if the woman is still there?

Does the creative commons licence at the end of every comment really do anything? Are you going to do anything about it if someone doesn't respect the permissions you've laid out?

I keep checking videos on YouTube from time to time about whether it is worth upgrading to Win 11 now (which people keep releasing regularly). Keep deciding it's not worth changing.

Then I sold my laptop and had to use my Steam Deck for a couple of months. At that point I thought if I'm going to learn a different OS, then I might as well go all the way and jump over to Linux. Been very happy with OpenSUSE ever since.

Path of Exile. It's been great on the Steam Deck and I'm going through the last few days of this league. Once that finishes I'll start putting a lot more time into Street Fighter 6 (with the compact portable hitbox controller I made) and some Eldest Souls on the side.

The clean up is long overdue. I have been trying to eliminate Amazon shopping from my life completely and this has been helped by the utter shit the site is flooded with.

Clean up the shit being sold on Amazon. And while they're at it they should clean up their own shit treatment of staff and tax avoidant exploitation.

Digg

The fact that there are so many well functioning options for a DE that this can be an argument, is such a great thing.

Post the site in this comment section for those interested here.

Other than that, you could pick male specific communities. AskMen, Dads, AskMenOver30, etc. There are subs for "casual conversation" as well. Search for places like that and plaster the site everywhere if you're trying to publicise it and then follow on to related subs in the sidebar.

This unique construction is designed to catch the fish from the tail end rather than hooking in the mouth.

The first step is normalising the idea of privacy so people can even see the point of paying for something they can easily get for free.

The next step would be to make products people can easily use without being tech savvy. A synology NAS has been great for me and I praise the setup to anyone who will listen, but even with something like Synology people will need some basic knowledge.

Didn't they recently officially clarify that nudity is allowed?

I sold my laptop and used my Steam Deck as my main PC for a couple of months (till the parts for my new PC arrived). Worked out great. Convinced me to install Arch Linux on my new PC.

The Deck works well as an HTPC too. Works great with Plex, etc.

Ton of progress?

I would refer to that as "research ongoing but no progress yet".

Lemmy hasn't really gotten over the fragmentation of communities. There are multiple gaming subs, some have double digit users, some have thousands. That shit needs to be consolidated.

I don't bother communicating. I just play silently and usually mute the chat if it is toxic. Even games like overwatch worked out ok playing without communicating.

The only time I had a decent experience playing with strangers was when I found specific gaming subs or Discord communities (e.g. casual gaming, gaming dads, etc) and played in a Discord voice channel. This was actually a really good experience in games like Street fighter or Apex legends. I could do dumb shit in game and they'd be completely chill and say "it happens" and carry on to the next game. Haven't done this for the last couple of years though.

There's Lightning calendar built into Thunderbird. https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/calendar/

Other than that the options for alternatives are slim. https://alternativeto.net/software/lightning/?license=opensource&amp;platform=windows
