I’ve been trying to change my diet to eat less sugar, and trying to substitute it with more nutritious and particularly protien rich foods, and this issue has been driving me insane. Basically anything pre-made in any form is filled with sugar, and that goes double for things advertised as nutritious or protein-rich.

Their older stuff was absolutely great. Theres a reason I tried to replace my original Logitech mouse with a duplicate twice. Its their more recent stuff (and esspecially more recent software) that have fallen off in quality.

The only reason they’re still so common is that you could swap out “Razer” in your comment with 90% of the other gaming or performance brands and it would be just as true if not moreso. I had to swap to razer after I had two Corsair mice failed in as many months, and what seemed like a software bug kill three Logitech mice (One I had been using previously, and two more bought to replace it, which were broken out of the box).

Have you tried having money? Thats normally how people get investors.

The graphs there for posts and comments are for count of posts on lemmy directly, total, not per month. The posts/month seems stagnant, although its hard to tell as the data shown there is burried by a couple of bot instances that completely hide the overall trend.

The posts and comments listed there are locally hosted total values (not per month)

I want to say we were supposed to learn them in second grade in Canada, but I personally never did. My memory isn’t good enough, so to this day, I just work it out in my head. For small numbers like 1-12, its easy enough to break it down to smaller parts and solve quickly anyway.

For any website that has some sort of search or filtering, a function to exclude items. A couple examples of this that have annoyed me enough to still remember them:

• Trying to set a filter for every GPU with more than 12GB of RAM, excluding the 3060. I had to instead select like two dozen chipsets manually.

• This is now fixed, but you didn’t used to be able to filter excluding game tags on Steam. This made more general tags useless, as people over-apply them. For example, CS2 Marvel Rivals, Black Desert, and DbD are all tagged as strategy games, so without the option to filter them out, it was way harder to browse.

• On Lemmy, there doesn’t seem to be any search operators, nonetheless ‘-’. Given how useless the search already is, and the fact that nothing gets indexed on the major search engines, finding anything on Lemmy is impossible.

Given that you’re on a two day old account, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt.

.ml is notoriously run by, and has a large population of tankies - people who support China and Russia, and defend or deny their countless atrocities. I.E. people who deny the Tiananmen Square Massacre, and say Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and all the war crimes they’ve committed are justified. Basically, anything done by a government that opposes the US is considered a good thing, no matter how evil.

Edit: Adding what Brucethemoose said into my comment directly because its important. Being critical of the US or NATO doesn’t make you a tankie. The problem is excusing genocide because it was commited by someone outside NATO or the US allies.

What hero is that? The ult looks like Wraith King but the other abilities don’t seem to line up, and its too early-game for the item build to matter.

Not to mention that being humble and reserved are values that are strongly emphasized by Jesus, so people actually trying to follow his teachings won’t usually be the vocal, obvious ones.

The UX is just so much better in every aspect. UI is clean and (mostly) intuitive, but more importantly, supports alternative frontends and apps offering better and personalized UIs. There isn’t a half-dozen roadblocks and annoyances put in the way of accessing content, like VPN-bans and ads. There isn’t even a particularly high-bar to join and participate, so no worries about entering a phone number or building up karma.

I can just use the site. Now all I need is content thats actually relevant to me.

My orange cat loves pushing things off tables. At this point, he knows he’ll get in trouble for it too, so he tries to be sneaky about it right up until whatever it is smashes on the floor.

Honestly, those conditions sound like pretty much exactly what I’d expect working oil in Alberta, and given the cost to make that horrific of a modification, it wouldn’t suprise me if it was something used for work.

It also would not suprise me if it was some jerk with more money than sense, esspecially as this wouldn’t necessarily conflate with the first.

For now, Reddit. Not because its good, but because Lemmy still doesn’t have enough users to fufill its use case unless you want to talk about politics or IT-type tech. Hopefully, that will change in the future. Once a few of the semi-niche communities like Dota 2, painting, cats, or city-based communities takes off, I can hopefully stop going back to Reddit.

Lemmy and the Fediverse have a stronger foundation, but without a userbase, its kinda pointless.

The problem isn’t the length, its the fact that stories are warped or straight-up built around every single (often not even) loose thread from the original trilogy and to a lesser extent, the prequels. For example, the Madalorian was great for the first season, where yes, it was episodic, but it did still have an overarching plot that built up to a climatic final battle. Where it started to run into problems was when it had to tie back into the original plot. Mandalorians lost all mystique, pacing was hampered by exposition, and the focus was draw away from the main characters and the plot in service of tie-ins to Ashoka and the main franchises.

Ultimately, it should be about telling the best stories. Sometimes, that might be episodic as worked well for Mandalorian, sometimes a continuous plot like Andor, and sometimes it is a full movie that does fit alongside the original cannon like Rogue One.

The fact that I can’t tell if this is parody or not is sad.

As I noted, there is also a lot more money involved in movie production compared to retail. On the actor/writer side, you have more individuals involved who don’t risk starving when they form a union, and on the studio side, they can less afford to delay or trash shows and movies. Compare that to, for example, walmart workers who likely have little in the way of savings, nonetheless funding to establish a union, and work for a company that could close down a dozen stores to kill a union an not even notice it in their balance sheet.

Again, I’m not saying they shouldn’t unionize, but given the enviroment, the system is stacked against them. Blaming vulnerable workers for not unionizing is like saying the poor don’t have money because they didn’t work hard enough, or didn’t invest in the right things. Instead of blaming them, we need to be looking at ways to support them. This might be pushing legislators to improve workers rights and social safety nets, it might be helping them to join larger unions (such as how a lot of IT workers end up covered by other unions), or it might be providing more tools and education on how to organize into unions, ultimately, the important thing is recognizing that these are people who need help and trying to offer it to them rather than just telling them to pull themselves up by their bootstraps.

I’m not sure how recoverable it is at this point, but if you want Star Wars to act as a forever-story, don’t treat it as one single story. Its okay if plot doesn’t directly build with each release. Its okay if it doesn’t connect to other parts of the cannon. Its okay if you have no shared characters. Hell, its even okay (if not ideal) if some media contradicts each other. The important part is making good stories, and if a new peice of media wouldn’t work when attached to a larger plot, don’t attach it to the larger plot. Simple as that.

Look at something like 40K, for example. While yes, there is a “main” plot, its only a small part. Honestly, fans often outright ignore the “main plot” Horus Hersey books, in favour of the more fun and compartmentalized books like the Eisenhorn Trilogy or the ork books because those are the books that most revel in the setting and themes of 40K and aren’t burdened by dozens of other books that they have to tie in to.
