Some broad answers:

1. Fee is higher than people are willing to pay
2. People don’t trust the experts
3. The experts don’t exist yet
4. People have no idea how to find the experts

I’ve got several ikea glass water bottles because i tend to forget where they are. They’re pretty simply made (glass bottle, plastic cap, silicone ring) and therefore easy to clean.

They’ve held up well for a few months now.

No, because documentation should be more like a dictionary than a novel - it’s written to convey info quickly and accurately, not interestingly. 😆

Next time no need to add on apologetic stuff at the end of your post. People will engage with your post or not, it’s the Internet, it’s fine

Maybe they’re preserving the option to try again with a new restaurant?

2 that i return to their designated space after using. I think there’s a third hiding somewhere

Everyone is part of the server they signed up with. Federation allows everyone to see each other’s posts, filtered through your own server.

If another server defederates yours, their users essentially can’t see your (new) comments/posts. But you can see most of theirs.

It is not necessarily a 2 way street. Continuing the example, your server can choose whether or not to defederate back. If it does defederate, you’ll no longer see any new comments/posts from the other server.

A much better, longer post about this can be seen here.

Sometimes i need to hand info to someone, or paper is just nearby, or i need to draw a diagram.

I do have an ipad, but if you are brainstorming with other people, they don’t always know how to use it/touch the wrong thing.

All other notes are digital, because i am bad at keeping track of pieces of paper.

Yes, once a year or so. I’ve gotten a lot of value out of it and i like the idea of paying it forward for people who aren’t in a position to donate

Maybe AAA games just don’t need to be as large or sprawling. Release one full campaign with everything you need included in the price. Then if it does well offer dlc.

As the article points out, balder’s gate was early access for 3 years, sold at full price, and still has bugs. It’s not an exception to the rule, larian just delivered a good product that had good source material behind it.

Usually about 20min? I set a sleep timer on podcasts for 30 min and i usually don’t hear it stop.

When i can’t fall asleep quickly, it’s maybe an hour? Eventually sleep happens.

For me, it’s definitely option 2. I really like the way Dark Souls handles it, where the armor sets looks the same on both genders, and everyone can be as tart or as modest as they like.

Maybe there’s a case to be made for a setting in BG3 that pixelates the naughty bits, but looking through youtube comments on BG3 romance scenes (for science!), most people seem to think the nudity is funny more than anything else. The few complaints about nudity really seem to be about the fact that they have to look at a dick/gay couple, which i don’t have too much sympathy for.

Is my favorite season 🎃

Are people really mad about nudity, or are they just mad that it’s not all het nudity?

Edit: ok so after some research, looks like full nudity is an optional setting, and all body models (male or female) can have dicks or vulvas. Which makes me think there’s an anti trans component to complaints as well.

People here have given you good pasta sauce recipes here, let me recommend ramen. I’ve found it at dollar stores and most grocery stores, it’s shelf stable, and pretty versatile. Can add egg and/or almost any frozen produce you can find.

I’m watching this thread with great interest 👀

For the US, maybe Dolly Parton?

Instances can defederate whenever they want, but skimming the sidebar and announcements, it’s weirder to me that lemmy.world is still federated with lemmygrad, which seems to be very similar to hexbear.

Anyone have any insight into the difference between lemmygrad and hexbear?

I don’t think it needs to be overcome, just applied differently. A more global “us” vs problems like global warming or poverty would be fantastic.

It’s also a self preservation instinct - sometimes there’s just too much going on and you gotta narrow your focus to the people around you.

Pretty normal to reevaluate things from time to time. I went on a cleaning binge recently and let go of a lot of hobby stuff that I wasn’t using any more. It’s created more space for the hobbies i currently enjoy, and it’s so much easier to keep my place organized and clean.

At the same time, there were things i don’t use but kept anyways, either because there are good memories associated or i really want to pick up the hobby again in the future.

I have a feeling that once they start getting into how exactly to implement ActivityPub, they’re going to run into the existing issues, decide it’s not worth the effort, and just quietly not do it.

Yeah the policy OP described just creates a culture where people lie about why they need time off 😆

It’s not school - if someone agrees to cover the shift, just let em
