I had the same situation with kenshi. I can only imagine how much worse it would be on Helldivers lol

Microsoft were already the dominant operating system in computing. Now they’re losing market share due to frequent bad decision making.

All they had to do was keep windows ticking over. But instead they looked to milk more revenue from their customer base in the form of advertising and telemetry data. That’s because shareholders demand ever increasing profits. Enshittification is always the result of a company going public… Never a question of if, only when; as soon as the passion has died in ownership (usually due to sale or change of management), the only drive becomes profit; and the user experience is stripped to accommodate. The same will be true one day for steam, unfortunately.

• HDMI isn’t labeled.
• The third usb port is flipped
• HDMI port isn’t parallel with other ports.

Yeah I’m aware of syncs controversy; the app hasn’t seen any updates in a year or so. But using an adblock to circumvent the ads isn’t supporting the dev, and it works well enough for my needs. I definitely wouldn’t pay for a premium account; feels very anti-fediverse in nature.

I did start to use voyager on my Linux phone, though it doesn’t seem to connect to my home instance. Admittedly that’s via the web app, so perhaps there’s some issues with connectivity there rather than voyager in general; but that experience sort of solidified me on sync on my android. I setup a second account on db0 and it worked with voyager, but I’m generally pretty happy where I am.

Feddit.uk have setup a blorp frontend which I may just convert to a web app for use, but I just haven’t got around to it.

I use sync too; though I’m running it through proton VPN (largely due to my govs increasingly authoritarian stance on internet freedoms, but that’s neither here nor there), which has built in ad and tracker blocking, so I don’t see any of the ads in sync.

This is what it looks like behind an ad blocker:

Me, fighting with using an am5 chipset & nvidia graphics card for Wayland based distros because damn it, who needs a working machine anyway: “Heh, guess I’m not a clown”

Amulet of speak with the dead - cursed. Once attuned the user can speak with the dead, but can only interpret chat with the living as wailing, any attempts to speak with the living will sound like wailing to the other entity. Removing the item does not break the curse.

My only regret is that I have boneitis

The sloppification will be televised (during increasingly regular ad intervals) !

Wouldn’t surprise me that it’s a rehashed comic book idea. It has all the markings of one. I found this which was apparently published in a playboy magazine of all places, not sure if it’s a retelling of the comic book or another rehash of the same idea, but it definitely seems like something that inspired the film.

Whilst an average film overall, the movie ‘In Time’ has an interesting concept for currency set in a near future sci fi dystopia.

Humanity has cured aging, and everyone stops aging at 25. Then their clock starts; indicated by a tattoo like digital clock on their forearm. Everything is paid for with time taken off their clock, once it reaches 0, they immediately die. Jobs pay employees a time salary etc, and the rich horde and manipulate the time markets to concentrate their wealth, and keep the poor from achieving the immortality they horde.

I enjoyed it, and I’m sure plenty others did, but there’s no denying that a rather large suspension of belief is required.

You think oxygen is your ally, but you merely adopted the oxygen. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see carbon dioxide until I was already a man!

Glad to hear we’re not the only country with an imperial hangover! Our experience is pretty much the same. Bathroom scales, gym weights etc all have both kg and lb on them. Over time society here does seem to be shifting more toward metric; most people tend to know their height in both these days, whereas 20 years ago it would have been predominantly ft rather than cm.

Do you think lbs change depending on what we’re measuring? A lb is a lb here too…

I’d argue a comprehension of both metric and imperial is superior, as well as provides insight into which the inferior measurement is, but you do you mate.

Actually we use both. For example, body weight is (traditionally) stone and lbs, but parcel weight is usually kg.

The same is true for length; height in feet, but stuff like room measurements in cm.

I think the only area where we’re actually consistent is traveling distance? All signs and gauges are in Mph rather than Km/h. In fact the only time I can think of someone talking about distance in kilometres, is to do with sports (IE a 5k/10k running event).

Soccer was only ever a nickname tbf, It stood for a(socc)iation football.

I guess an equivalent would be like calling your police the bobby force.

Or she employs the old ‘secretly give them a gold eating coin’ trick. Momentary gain for eternal torment.

All things considered, the leftist infighting between anarchists, socialists, etc… seems very mild in comparison.

I used to think the left had weird subculture names like ‘tankies’, but after hearing the term groyper it’s clear the right have the left beaten on both infighting and pejorative subculture names. (Assuming groyper is meant to be pejorative ofc.)
