Joke’s on them. I just put games in my library and never install them.

Since you mentioned you track what you eat, this might be a good place for me to add my contribution.

I struggled with my weight my whole life and I started tracking what I eat, focused mainly on limiting my calories. It was still a struggle, but it definitely helped.

Then I discovered my body overproduces cholesterol and I had to change my diet, which was relatively easy since I was already tracking. I feel like I was given the key to weight loss with this one change: keep your saturated fat below 13g per day.

It’s not as easy as it sounds, you’re stuck basically eliminating certain foods altogether (I’m looking at you, beef) and you need to do a good deal of meal plan and prep (which is good for you anyway) - but holy shit. I eat constantly and I can’t keep weight on.

The only way I can gain is by stopping exercise altogether (I do one hour 3 days a week) and really loading up on carbs (bread/pasta).

This is apeshit stupid. I don’t expose my media to the Internet, so I’m not affected but I know what’s coming: no free users allowed at all.

Glad to see Jellyfin is more than up to the task. I only hang around on Plex for lazy reasons, but I can tell that soon enough I’m gonna have to jump ship.

I don’t have to give any consideration to how true this is, because I quit windows last year. It’s liberating.

I switched late last year, Linux is not (that) hard and I have not had a single problem running any games (Steam, Heroic and Lutris cover them all). Hell, I run emulators now that I never did before and I have all my Wii, WiiU, Switch, PS3 and Xbox games on my Linux machine, lol.

100%. For any fans of old out there whose Lemmy instance doesn’t support it, you can use https://o.opnxng.com/ as a proxy.

I looked because I wasn’t really sure. I upgraded late last year. The computer I’m on right now is that upgrade (based around a 5070). Before that, my last build was in 2020, but I didn’t upgrade to replace the 2020, I upgraded to add a second computer.

I could have ridden the 2020 for another 2-3 years easy. Matter of fact, looking back prior to 2020, my previous build appears to have been 2011. So yeah, I “upgrade” every 8-9 years.

All software BlueSky uses is open source and self-hostable and already a bunch of different implementations have started to pop up independently.

Oh that’s cool. So where can I sign up to interact with BlueSky users if I don’t want to sign up to BlueSky?

I understood this reference. Thanks @pugjesus@lemmy.world!

Interesting, that never occurred to me. I said that about the wheelhouse because I have a Mastodon account I read from time to time and I can’t recall ever seeing any Lemmy content show in my feed. I never did Twitter though so I’m kind of lost, it might be I just don’t know what I’m doing. I followed like 40 hashtags but I still don’t get a huge amount of content.

Not a stupid question at all. Loosely, I think, it’s any site that trades information using the ActivityPub protocol. Because they use the same underlying protocol, they can easily trade content/posts with each other and yes, Lemmy is part of the Fediverse for that reason.

This is also why you can see posts from lemmy.ca or piefed.social or whatever.domain users while browsing lemmy.world - anyone who sets up a site with the Lemmy software can participate in the network and trade posts with all the others - these are individually called instances. These sites can decide that they don’t want to trade posts with certain other sites (ie: trolls set up a farm on their own instance) and exclude them from their users being able to see them, this is called defederation.

In theory, a Mastodon instance could see content from a Lemmy instance (and Pixelfed and Loops and so on) as they all use the same underlying protocol to trade information, but in practice, it seems that sites basically stick to trading with other sites in their wheelhouse.

BlueSky also started with ActivityPub but I believe they did something to their software to make it proprietary.

The usefulness of all this is: no member site can get a monopoly on content. The largest Lemmy site is lemmy.world and I have an account on there. I switched to dbzer0 because I disagreed with some of the actions taken by lemmy.world (they defederated from some content that I wanted to see) so I came over here and now I can see that content.

Anyway, that’s my understanding of it.

I knew that 100000000000 figure was misleading!!!

Also known as Cinco De Mayo! Perhaps some anejo is in order, señor Yoda.

I feel like the message would resonate more if he hadn’t got stabbed through the heart by a stingray.

Huh. I thought it was the invisible things that only cats can see that makes them kinda crazy.

Yeah, I know. Once my brain got over its initial shock, it could tell they were weighty. I did a quick AI query and it turns out they are pandrol railway clips.

Even after getting the actual picture it took me a few seconds to figure out what the hell I was looking at. Why are sausages laying in this hay??? - my brain, probably

‘This thing that makes almost no money is a dead end. This thing that makes money hand-over-fist is what authorities should focus on regulating instead.’

lol

I’d like to see these loudmouth motherfuckers actually put in a camp and forced to do real work, then I’d like for them to report back to me about work life balance.

Everything you said is absolutely true and thoroughly shit. It’s just a shame that the system’s solution is to now rob them of an actual education as well.

The only thing keeping America on any kind of footing at all is that exposure to classical education largely deprograms the religious bullshit most American kids grow up with. Oh, and it actually educates them, as opposed to whatever AI assisted bullshit “workers” this is going to end up giving us.

Edit: although… religion is dying here anyway, so optimistically, maybe kids these days will need the deprogramming less and AI will improve dramatically. We could theoretically end up with a net benefit.
