Weißkohl (no idea what it is called in English, I can only find the generic "cabbage" term) is disgusting and so are all its produce like Sauerkraut or Krautsalat. That shit makes me gag and vomit. I don't know what it is about it but I absolutely despise it.

and I wouldn't trust a business that is not just working on password managers.
Because..? They're a privacy tool oriented company, no?

I was referring to Bridgy, not Bluesky, regarding privacy. It acts like a middleman between whatever you're using and Bluesky. And it isn't really opt-in in that sense, because the majority of users would not even be aware of this even existing. An opt-in feature would be directly implemented into a platform, like a toggle you could switch within your account settings. Whether that is opt-in or opt-out is personal preference I guess, but with that logic it should be ideally the same for all native instances as well.

Sooo, where's ProtonPass at? They're open source and non-profit, right?

Unix elitist think the average user is willing to just memorize a gazillion different commands. No, nope. Not ever going to use a command line password manager.

To bridge your fediverse account into Bluesky and interact with people there, search for and follow @bsky.brid.gy@bsky.brid.gy. That account will then follow you back. Accept its follow to make sure your fediverse posts get sent the bridge and make it into Bluesky.
https://fed.brid.gy/docs#fediverse-get-started
I mean, I guess, but that's pretty convoluted and opt-in, not so much a direct compatible connection from Bluesky to the Fediverse. And you'd have to trust them regarding privacy.

I could've lived with the nostalgia baiting if they didn't write so many stupid RNG scenarios into the movie. Even the whole premise of a station coming out of nowhere, somehow somewhere flung out of orbit, somehow getting captured by their planet's orbit, just to then be on an intercept trajectory with the ring. But the whole movie adds more and more, like the ship magically sliding along the station, just to crash land in the hangar, which btw, why did they not land there, especially since they could've never fit the cryo pots through the weird little maintenance shaft they came through. Or how utterly nonsensical the no gravity acid shootout was. In a no gravity environment, stuff isn't just going to stop midair, or float in a circular pattern - it would've just splattered everywhere as soon as she started blasting them. It all felt just way too "cinema" for me. I can live with some unlikely but cool action scenarios but don't chain the whole movie up with them.
Not that everything was bad though. I loved the visuals (except for the bad deep fake later on), the world building they did on the planet (which usually falls flat in the movies), and the acting was also very good. I think they approached the whole AI vs. human consciousness & creation aspect quite a bit better than Prometheus & Covenant did (although Covenant upped Prometheus for me a little bit when it came out).

This is simply novelty merch. Cassette Futurism was largely inspired by the first Alien movie in particular and Romulus is very much an attempt to go back to the roots of the first movie, hence all the analog equipment there. So this is just for die hard fans of the franchise and the design aesthetic it birthed.

What are you trying to say? That anarchism is the end state of communism? Because that's definitely not the case, they're two completely different philosophies. The fediverse is, for better or worse, kind of an anarchistic structure with its decentralized governance.

I've seen issues with that too, where it does not show a lot of moderator actions on mbin but on the actual community modlog of the Lemmy instance. In this case it seems to be some sort of instance wide automod / spam protection though, but I don't know what exactly triggered it.

I don't, that's the problem. It's not really my fault that suddenly everyone roots for Hamas & Hezbollah or thinks other nonsensical bullshit.

I mean, I blocked all the .ml / hexbear / grad communities, all the news communities and all the other communities who refuse to moderate disinformation or calling me a troll for reporting & calling out terrorist simps, all the meme communities, all the sport communities... Not much left here I'm afraid and it makes me wanna interact less with people, not more, since apparently the world is just going insane it seems.

I heard the same bullshit about a 2016 release of SC. It's nothing but copium. It's laughably easy to show "gameplay" of a prepared show demo, even if nothing of the actual game actually existed. Roberts has done this so many times already.

Reddit is 50/50 Tankies & Nazis. Fediverse is like 90% Tankies & other terrorist simps, even outside of the Tankie instances. It's a complete clown show on all platforms honestly. I almost wish climate change wasn't such a slow cooking thing.

Does not look like I can repost it, at least not without understanding the auto removal. https://fedia.io/m/fedia/t/1311244/After-a-much-needed-break-for-a-few-days-fedia-io/comment/7812247#entry-comment-7812247

Okay, I had to actually go to the instance as the modlog here did not show anything, but apparently my post was removed... But only on their side? It did not show "removed by moderator" on my end:
reason: Threativore automatic post removal: image spam
Not sure how that works or why. I used an external imgur album link, an additional imgur image link in the body, along with some various thread & modlog links.
At least I now also see the pure extend of the mod abuse and terrorist simping on Lemmy as I filtered through my account.
Back when the full invasion started and Russian soldiers began to officially occupy new Ukrainian territory, Svitlana was one of the civilians directly confronting & cursing the armed soldiers. She told them to put sunflower seeds into their pockets, so that their rotting corpses would act as fertilizer, and consequently became a symbol of Ukrainian resistance when the videos went viral. ![Original video.](https://lemm.ee/api/v3/image_proxy?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DPJJ8zmcBH2A)
Almost a decade later and it still hurts. The first time I heard this song I was immediately captivated, eagerly awaiting more songs and the upcoming album release, just to hear and learn some years later that she passed away and would not even see the release of it. Rest in peace, Aleah.
Edit: Update! See comment below! ____________ So, this has been going on for a long while now but I hoped after a bit of a hiatus it would maybe fix itself when I come back. Basically, the game does not render any of the close up natural ground textures around a certain radius around me anymore. It is basically like it stopped rendering the high quality textures for them, as it is literally using the chunk based rendering of the game where it caps out, being affected by zoom / fov levels too. So when I'm in the ship in third person cam and landed, it looks more like a triangle expanding from the cockpit to the back. With the scanner I can even see through the ground and highlight ores or chests beneath, which would normally be blocked, which would tell me that this is within the rendering pipeline of the game. See album for screenshots & system specs: https://imgur.com/a/CzJTyeV And no, it is not my GPU. This does not happen in other games, including Fallout NV, and I even switched out to my old RX 580, which showed the exact same problem. It's also not mods, since I tested it on a fresh installation & prefix, with various Proton versions. So at this point I can only assume it must be something with my OS / system config. But when the issue started, I also tried to revert back to an older kernel, which again, did nothing. I'd really like to avoid trying a new installation of my OS as I'm really sick of going through the backup, restoration & setup process again. Edit: One detail I forgot to mention. Some single squares do continue to render, even within the invisible radius. But when I go to them and look at the ground, my FPS and frame times start to tank heavily. Unsure if that's related at all though.
>What a horrible existence you lead. Denying that people different than you exist. Seeing imagined conspiracies rather than accept new knowledge. Living, breathing, even wanting and enforcing such dreadful conformity. Such ignorance. You've seen the joys of a diverse world of love and freedom and you told it to fuck off. If my life were as dull as yours, I'd kill myself. But you want it that way. The only possible explanation I can think of for such aberrant behaviour is that your mind is as much smaller than mine as your world is. There are others of your species who were explorers. They climbed mountains and crossed oceans. They peered into the distant past and they landed on the moon. But you're not of their kin. You want a small world. You don't dream of meeting other species like the humans who love their Star Trek and their isekais. You heard of otherkin, and denied their existence. You don't want it to be real. You've heard of queer people with an existence queerer than you have yet known, and you chose erasure. To you, entire lives, loves, ways of being are a joke. You refuse to see it otherwise. You aren't gripped by the spirit of exploration, you don't want to meet these people, to see the truth with your own eyes, not even to deny it. The idea of putting in the effort to learn anything, whether it be that this larger world is true or false, is repugnant to you. You want to already know the answer, and you want it to be the boring one. I could introduce you to dragons, to gods, to wolves, and stranger wonders still, but you don't care. You don't even pull out your search engine and google it. Not even that small effort of exploration. You want a tiny world. How small you must be.
For a while now all video threads are basically just opening a screenshot of the video when you expand them instead of opening the video itself. I noticed this both for YouTube and Catbox hosted videos and you now have to first open the thread itself, and then click on the actual link of the title to open the actual page where it is hosted to play the video. Previously you could just watch them from within your feed without leaving it. I think the only exception I've seen for this are redgifs that sometimes pop up from the few lemmynsfw places that do manage to federate with kbin / mbin, but those also have issues like rendering behind the posts below them. I also noticed that video playback does continue when you close the embedded container, so you always have to pause them manually (which is ironically not supported by redgifs player).
I get the threads, but there's no votes, no replies. Nothing. None of my comments show up anywhere if I look at the original instances. Ever since the 26th of December it's been a complete shitshow. Edit: Didn't get any reply notifications for this thread either...
