Yeah, I've blocked lemmy.world and there are a lot fewer obnoxious users showing up. Less content as well, but not so much that I miss it.

Command c instead of yy (or whichever command starting in y that is appropriate for your copying situation)?

Have you tried pulling out a switch? Can you see if they're actually soldered? What does the documentation for the keyboard say?

Just like how nutrition labels solved obesity? And carbon footprints solved climate change? Individual choice and responsibility aren't good solutions to systemic problems. They're usually championed by businesses to avoid responsibility.

Valve must address swastikas and other hate on Steam, writes US senator in a letter to Gabe Newell in c/[email protected]

It's not the games they're talking about.

Good thing memes can't be racist and dog whistles don't exist /s. Not every instance of pepe is, and the ADL admits that (whether or not you agree with them), but the original creator has sued organizations for using it as a hate symbol. Sorry the world is more complex than you think it is.

I've seen people outright call for the extermination of minorities in forums. I think everybody can agree that's pretty heinous. I don't get to decide if that's present or not except that I can report it. It's not just things that can be misinterpreted, there's a real problem.

David Attenborough "Profoundly Disturbed" By AI Clone Of His Voice in c/[email protected]
[–] zero_spelled_with_an_ecks 12 points 4 days ago

Here we see a David Attenborough being played back his own voice. Agitated, he vocalizes his displeasure. Once confronted again by his own voice, he retreats back to his home and refuses to comment further.

It's a real problem. I've seen forum posts calling for the extermination of minorities.

Do toasters really need to come with a 12 page instruction manual? in c/[email protected]

Is one of the pages about why they chose to have 7 levels of toasting instead of 11?

Hunting and fishing are for psychopaths (self.unpopularopinion)
 

I'm not talking about the consumption of animals here, to be clear. What I'm talking about is spending days and a bunch of money planning to kill something, doing the killing, and skinning/eviscerating what was killed, and often displaying the stuffed corpse. Hunters and fishers refuse to admit they're obsessed with taking pleasure in killing something.

Miss me with the "tradition" stuff, it's just peer pressure from the dead and a fallacious argument. Don't tell me it's to eat, like I said, I'm not talking about the consumption here, so please prove to me you are literate by not bringing up that point. And don't tell me you're respectful to the animals you kill; I don't believe the planning, stalking, and killing is a good way to show respect.

A cruciverbalist that I enjoy (squarepursuit.com)
 

Looks like the hasn't made any crosswords for a while but the old ones are still available. Link goes to the themed ones and there's links to online versions in each post. Enjoy!

Knives go in the dishwasher and get sharpened with a pull through sharpener (self.unpopularopinion)
 

My tools serve me, not the other way around. It's not worth the time and effort to wash by hand or sharpen on a whetstone. I don't need an expensive knife to cook at home. A pull through sharpener and honing steel are adequate. Get the right material and you don't have to worry about the metal in the dishwasher.

[Request] Make blocked users not show up in inbox and profile views (self.lemmyconnect)
 

Blocking a user hides their content in comments, but it still shows up in inbox when viewing all as well as in comment chains in the profile view. It would be great if blocked users didn't show up in these places.

Let me know if there's more info needed.

Rabid Wombat - Kaja Foglio (programming.dev)
 

I still remember this card and its artwork. Holy moly, the date on it is 30 years ago.

The Foglios have been involved in quite a few projects over the years and it took a while for me to make the link between this card and Girl Genius.

Coop Board game Shadows of Brimstone (boardgamegeek.com)
 

Western setting where a new gold rush for dark stone pits gunslingers, lawmen, saloon girls, etc against tentacles, the undead, mutated gangsters, snakemen, and lost technology as they travel between worlds.

It's coop and there are different missions, most of which have randomly generated maps that are created from a deck on you explore, giving it endless replayability. Characters gain experience, skill, and gear but also can become injured or mutate (nothing the church or surgeon in town can't fix for a price).

It also has tons of expansions. While the physical games add up in cost and require a lot of organizing, you can give it a try on tabletop simulator.

There's even a Japanese themed set that can combine with the Western ones.

Combat feels so slow (self.seaofstars)
 

When I was doing some cleanup and running into enemies in old areas, it made me realize how slow combat is and why. If you have timed blocks, it has to be slow to give players time to react to attacks, so every enemy attack animation ends up being long and they all add up.
