I'm a climate scientist by trade. Interested in interesting things. Ecology, complexity, politics, social change, music.

  • Popcorn made in pre-used oil can be awesome, and an easy way to get rid of 100ml or so.

  • How many existing game system families are there? E.g. grouping broadly similar systems.. I'm pretty new, but the ones I see are maybe:

    • D&D-like (stats and crunch)
    • PbtA (more narrative driven)
    • Fate style? Attribute driven?
    • Card-prompts (For the Queen, The Quiet Year)

    Might be grouping them wrong, I haven't played all of them..

  • Boil some red lentils, add carrots when they're half done. Then some coconut cream and a stock cube. Fry up some onion and garlic with cumin and coriander powder, then chuck that in too. Eat with rice. Add some sambal.

  • What's the chilling effect? What kind of power does anonymity of voting (even if that were available on lemmy) confer, considering that comments can't be anonymous?

  • Itch.io Re-indexes free NSFW content, are in ongoing discussions with payment processors to re-introduce paid content

  • That REALLY isn’t how things work

    It definitely can be. I haven't dealt with payment processors in this way, but I've had (spurious) DCMA takedowns that required my service providers to act immediately, or else they'd get sued. They did notify me, but gave me about 2h to figure something else out.

    A payment processor is in full control of payments across your entire site (unless you have multiple, I guess). They can pull the rug with no notice if they want. Doesn't seem nice, but nice isn't part of the business model.

  • Why not? We're all going to need practice fighting back against bots in the coming decades, might as well get it where you can

  • Well.. That still seems cool to me.

  • The other part is that normal people as party of a well functioning society need to actively maintain systems that keep fuckwits from accumulation to much power, and we haven't been doing that.

  • So true

  • OMG, TLAs are the worst, there are so many of them

  • So true

  • Corporate nursing homes milking them of all their remaining inheritable money.

  • Without specifics, this is a meaningless question with an embedded insult.

  • Bad bot

  • Why do Lemmy people think votes should be private? Seems to me that just makes for less accountability..

    Pretty much no other social media has private voting. I think the only one that does is reddit. I get that Lemmy is originally design to clone reddit functionality, but is "that's what reddit does" actually a good reason for a design feature? Or have people actually thought about the consequences in a comprehensive and decided that there's some value making votes private? (If so, what is that value?)

  • I think the Sydney metro partially is too. But that is easier because it doesn't cross any roads, or have many branching connection.

  • That link is cool, thanks for the history lesson! The Wide Awakes seem kinda awesome for their time..

    It doesn't seem to relate to the rest of your comment though.. They were an antislavery, pro Lincoln group? What was the internationally dumb part?

  • Thanks, I found it just before I saw your reply and edited it in :)

  • I dunno, the original meaning was kind of cool.
