No, that's Brita.

Better is the name of a commonly kept freshwater fish that's very territorial against other members of its species.

It's a hot time in the old town tonight!

This bean... Is not an ordinary bean!

This type of all or nothing rhetoric is bs. It's ok to be nostalgic for a time that was better in some ways while rejecting the ways that it wasn't. The fact is, the rise of the internet has made life a lot more complicated and brought new problems even as some have been solved.

Nice!

I for one enjoyed the movie a lot. Had fun with it.

Being already established, you have a few advantages over the newbies. You know about how a few different instances federate and work, and you know whether or not you like your instance.

Recommend your instance. Or if you wouldn't, whether because it's niche or doesn't work well in general, recommend a generic instance, even if it is .world, because it will probably work and give a good experience.

ONENAUGHT POINT 21 JIGAKILOWATTS!

Enjoyed the series but I think it helped me nail down my feelings on the Life series.

At the start it was more of a goofy, semi-social pvp game. Kind of helped me scratch that nostalgia itch for UHC while not being super competitive or serious.

As they went on there were new gimmicks to keep things fresh. Still fun, but lost what competitiveness was there and became almost entirely social and roleplay-y. Not bad, but not what I was hoping it would be.

Along the way the rules, gimmicks, and social games introduced a lot of ambiguity (are we friends with them? Am I allowed to kill them? Etc)

I know it’s not good content by today’s YouTube standards, but I’d like to see a straight up, no frills, PVE/PVP event like UHC with the HC folks. Team based, get the banter, even let people edit if they want. Keep the stakes low and deal with the fact that some people are better at the game by teaming them with people who aren’t.

I’ll still watch anything Etho puts out. Maybe I’ll also go back and rewatch old UHCs.

Mixed environment, bunch of windows servers and a bunch of Linux servers. I currently run NixOS on my company owned Framework laptop, with the caveat that I have to deal with or work around any weirdness that comes up.

I've been wanting for a while now to fix up my config (weird sleep waking issues, broken hibernate, implement full disk encryption) or maybe switch to Fedora. Just haven't had the time.

Remmina is great for RDP, OnlyOffice preserves Microsoft office formatting well, KDE's network manager has working VPN connections for Cisco and Palo Alto, and I do a lot from the browser (email, O365 admin,etc).

There is friction, though. As mentioned the sleep issues. Never fun getting to a site and finding a hot, dead laptop in my bag because it decided to wake up and not go back to sleep.

For things that HAVE to be done in Windows I have a VM I haven't powered on in a months or two, and a "tech" server to rdp to with more network access.

I'd also like to get more familiar with Nix. I can handle system settings and packages from the Nix repositories, but packaging my own software is something I'd like to learn (software and printer drivers for Ubuntu/fedora, etc).

I use Connect on Android primarily.

OCR and especially AI image processing takes a lot of computing power, much much more than filtering plain text.

Fair on the confirmation bias. I guess I should've said that I see this post every couple of weeks, even though I have a keyword filter blocking anything with the word "Musk" in the title.

I wasn't aware that Lemmy had much of a personalized algorithm, beyond a simple upvote/down vote system with older posts falling down the list. Comments might boost it in the Hot sorting maybe? I doubt the content of those comments matters much.

I've got a conundrum with this post. Somehow, every time it's posted (every couple of weeks) it lacks the word "Musk" in the title, which bypasses my keyword filter and it shows up on my feed.

Next time this is reposted could whoever does it put Musk in the title so I don't have to see it?

IIRC, he was messing with the kids and knew it was off because the lights were off. He proceeded to put his hands on it and convulse wildly as a joke.

Hogwart Legacy has been on my list for a while now, but not high enough to buy while I have such a large backlog.

Hmm... I've got a few memes, but I'll also talk about one of my hobbies: butterfly knife flipping.

A few years ago I stumbled across a video of someone doing some sick trick with a balisong. I found the balisong subreddit and did some research, bought a cheapo trainer off Amazon, and practiced and watch YouTube videos until my fingers were bruised.

Eventually for to be pretty decent (enough to impress people IRL with a few tricks, not internet good) and got a few nice knives and trainers (a few Squid Industries, a Kershaw Lucha w/ Flytanium handles, and some random others). I already semi-collect pocketknives, so this is a step past that.

Downside is, balisongs tree expensive, and I tend to cycle my hobbies and not come back to them for a while. Right now I'm not in a flipping kick, but maybe someday soon I'll get back to it...

Also, meme!

For those about to rock and stone, we salute you!

But he loved those DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS!

Love Octavia, mostly because I can run through missions Rick-Rolling people. Not always the most engaging gameplay mechanics wise, but definitely fun.

Personally, I carry a pen knowing that it will one day be lost. Long before it runs out of ink, it will become someone else's. Or broken.

I've never used a single pen long enough without losing or breaking it to need to refill it.
