Thousands more people to join the growing protests.

Didn’t have kids. Volunteer at local parks working on specialist plants. Look forward to not waking up one day.

A church that believes in drinking blood as a part of their sacrament calling civilian deaths a ‘harvest’ is sure an interesting look.
I mean the IDF is fucked and the situation they’ve caused in Gaza is a humanitarian catastrophe. But, this feels like he’s whining that someone else’s blood god is stealing all the blood.

Capitalism must feed. And, if we don’t give them huge electronics landfills to search for scrap, what are our children and grandchildren going to do for work?

One of these 2:

• some leftover rice, reheated.
  or
• a couple small potatoes, microwaved and then cut into cubes.

Mixed with one of these 3:

• 1-2 packets cooked maggi masala ramen.
  or
• a can of chili and microwave for another couple minutes.
  or
• bagged madras lentils, similar to above.

Wasn’t referring to what Meta could do or even necessarily that there’s an issue with Lemmy’s software. More that there’s a bunch of servers with various configurations without resources dedicated to intrusion detection, mitigation or reporting. If something did happen at a server level to a hobbyist instance there’s no reason to believe users or maybe even the persons running the instance would know about it.

Probably. Not sure if this will do it. But there’s inherent privacy concerns in having a bunch of relatively insecure silos interoperating as a semi-social network even if most of us do so with varying degrees of anonymity. For the moment, most of us are here to avoid corporate overreach so motivations are in a certain degree of alignment. But it’s just a matter of time before something goes wrong or the winds change in an unforeseen way.

Is there anyway to implement (without spinning up your own private instance) the ability for individual users to opt out of federation of their content to certain instances, or would that introduce too much overhead and complication?

How’d you get in my house?
Would you please leave?
Who the fuck was that?

Have been too depressed for too many decades. Lost the ability to enjoy music. Miss it, but anytime I try it feels contrived and I hear people from my past deriding my selections for various reasons.

I’ve lost barn owl boxes to big winds. Those iron poles sheared off at the threaded couplers they shipped with. The base was installed solid and hadn’t moved, but the poles broke. Don’t think they’d been occupied at the time, thankfully. Couldn’t put them in a location sheltered by trees or buildings for fear of great horned owl predation.

Stop letting him. You don’t owe him even an explanation. The nicest thing you could do for him would be to let him figure it out with as much time as he needs to do so. He hasn’t listened thus far or had any appreciable or effective consequences that gave pause to or caused change in his behaviors. I think you probably know this and are just looking for confirmation.

Take yourself and your family back. Why let someone like that be a further influence?

Little bit of both. I use whole herbs and loose tea. Half a cinnamon stick boiled well, first in the pot with pepper, makes about a pot the size that I use. Probably about a pint and a half, maybe two, with a strainer lid. Pour spout on the side. Fairly standard cooking pot.

Then, it’s there when I want it.

I make a concentrated pot of assam black tea, chamomile, cinnamon, black pepper and cardamom on the stove every couple days. Keep it refrigerated, dilute it as needed and drink it from about 7am-2pm. The mix keeps me awake enough, but the chamomile takes the edge off and keeps me from getting anxious. The cinnamon, black pepper and cardamom help my stomach from getting mad about everything I eat and tastes good. Assam black tea has a maltier flavor I really like, much less tannic. Sometimes, I’ll add fresh turmeric, ginger, citrus peel or other things.

Used to drink coffee, but it’s just too harsh for me anymore. I really like tea.

Humans are the only species that would ask a question like this with ecologically damning effects. So, yeah.

Complexity gives the games depth which allows them to hold interest. You can try something, figure out how to play the game that way, and then go and start a new character to figure out how to play the game another utilizing the knowledge you’ve gained from prior experimentation.

Some of the inventory management can be annoying at times, but again it’s an opportunity to employ knowledge as a means to identify the items that aren’t particularly useful to one playstyle and could be useful under another set of abilities/attributes or some set of combinations allowed by the game.

A game that only has one right answer quickly becomes a boring precision button pushing simulator to people who prefer more complexity, variety and depth in their gaming experience.

Not that one preference or the other is inherently correct, but hopefully it can be understood that different people want different things from their games.
