  • Yeah, they'd be like "oh haha, is the the computer where you keep your porn", and the response would be "no, this is the computer where I keep everyone's porn"

  • Sure, but we need some kind of deals with somebody, and the states has gone back on several deals in the past year, so it'd be hard to be less reliable at this point.

  • Steam Deal: Save 50% off Outer Wilds, lowest record price

    Jump

  • Yes, this is what I did. I would wait in the alcove until the column was directly overhead, and then step out into the path while it's active. I never even considered that I might also be able to down thrust to accomplish the same thing, but now I at least understand what they were talking about, and it's neat that there are two solutions to this. I love this game...

  • I was lucky to stumble into the ATP earlier than I should have, but I'm confused what you need thrusters for? I can't even imagine how thrusters factor into the entrance...

  • Well yeah, anyone can bend a person's leg the right way, or have their foot attached to their ankle instead of their knee, with no training at all! You have to go to school to learn the advanced techniques!

  • If you self host it, yes. But Snikket the company will host the server for you for a fee if you'd prefer to just sign up online and download an app from an app store.

  • I have a strange love in my heart for IPFS. I can't justify it, but it's there. Beautiful atoms... such promise...

  • Why does postal voting favour the American Democratic Party?

    Jump

  • Cities tend to be more democratic than their surrounding area, but also tend to be more densely populated. So you can have a situation like this with hours long lines in busy areas, which heavily disrupt people's ability to have their vote registered.

    So! The answer to that problem is mail-in voting! Vote in advance, with no lines, on your schedule! But the problem with city voting isn't always an accident, and so mail-in voting has obviously got to go too.

    But anyway, I think that's your answer. It swings Democrat because other things have already happened to make voting in Democrat areas worse in other ways, and this seemed like a good alternative.

  • Nonprofit libraries ordered by State Department to stop processing passport applications

    Jump

  • What's frustrating is that these are the costs of corruption. This, or that time they sabotaged the postal system in order to try and stifle mail-in voting. Taking a system that's working, and making it not work any longer, doesn't make things better for anyone. It's just overhead! It's paying to knock down a functioning building, leaving nothing in its place, and then paying every month to maintain a fence around the rubble.

    No one benefits from this, except some people that shouldn't be in power get to stay in power, so they can keep doing stuff like this to stay in power, and no other person sees any growth, improvement, or value. That would cut into margins.

  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

    Jump

  • 🤔

    Hmmmmmm. It didn't, and when I last looked, and even in hearing people talking during this kerfuffle, it didn't sound like it supported this, but perhaps it does. Which would be nice!

  • FR#153 – What does a Discord replacement look like?

    Jump

  • Searching for a single Discord alternative may be asking the wrong question however. Discord itself is an extensive bundle of functions smashed together: real-time chat, persistent forums and documentation, voice chats, events and even games.

    I think this is the important part that's missing from a lot of these discussions, including from users themselves looking for a new place to go. Some people use discord as an IRC chatroom replacement. Some use it was a small group text, essentially, between friends or co-workers. Some people use it as a Patreon perk to get access to a community around an artist and interact with that artist and their other fans.

    And I'm in some "servers" of all of those. So anywhere that's using it as IRC can be replaced with XMPP or Matrix no problem. Or IRC, but with gifs. Cool. But my other group that hangs out in there async every day and the occasionally jumps onto an ad-hoc voice chat when people are available to game, or sometimes shares my screen so someone else can watch what I'm doing? None of those things do that. But mumble kinda does, but not in a persistent or integrated way. Mumble is a great way to talk, but an awful place to hang out. Jitsi does screen share, but is not casual and also isn't a good hangout.

    And we could limp by with an XMPP room for chat and then a link to a Jitsi or Mumble or something when it's time to do something. But there's something tight about having the "just call" button right there, tied to the chat you're already in, and in being able to see "huh Alice and Bob are playing GAME right now. I should pop in!"

    But if you've never been in a discord server like that, you make a recommendation of IRC or something, and a gaming friend group user checks it out and is like "this is even close to doing any of the things I need it to..."

  • Number of american bicyclists killed in fatal crashes from 1975 to 2023

  • I'm not saying I disagree... but I would be curious how this chart compared with a chart of "number of cyclists" or "distance covered by cyclists" over the same period....

  • Statistics for Strava, a self-hosted, open-source dashboard for your Strava data.

    Jump

  • I switched from Strava to OpenTracks, which does all of the recording but none of the social parts, and keeps the data all on device as far as I know. This looks cool! But for me I probably wouldn't have enough use of it to set it up, so I'm not going to ask you to support OpenTracks just for me, but I mention this in case it's exciting for you. If other people use OpenTracks and would benefit from this, they can mention that too I guess!

    But it looks great!
