I've seen 'Active / Passive' used, that seems alright. There's plenty of alternative terms to use without borrowing terminology from sexual roleplay.

Anyway, the Sub is supposed to be the one that's actually in control for this kind of thing (otherwise you'd just be in an abusive relationship), so that confuses things when you start trying to applying it elsewhere.

I'm guessing this is riffing on Vance's visit to a doughnut shop, where to the complete indifference of the employees, he ended up asking for 'whatever makes sense'. It looks like he said the same to a barber, who - not knowing what he was on about - gave him that terrible haircut.

There's a lot of drama in that Issue, and then, at the very end:

Thanks for sharing your concerns here. We have been progressing use of our SDK in more use cases for our clients. However, our goal is to make sure that the SDK is used in a way that maintains GPL compatibility.

the SDK and the client are two separate programs
code for each program is in separate repositories
the fact that the two programs communicate using standard protocols does not mean they are one program for purposes of GPLv3

Being able to build the app as you are trying to do here is an issue we plan to resolve and is merely a bug.

It's usually just because they have to pay an on-going licence fee to keep using it, and after a certain amount of time, the revenue that a particular game is expected to bring in isn't worth the fee.

I have concepts of a plan
Got involved with the Taliban

I didn't watch the debate, but I would've if I'd known it was a rap battle.

Communities on feddit.de won't update 'cos the instance is kaput - the replacement is https://feddit.org/

Crikey, it's a long way down to the sofa for these guys.

Yeah, it's the strange thing about engaging post titles - people seem to be so busy answering them, they 'forget' to also upvote them. In contrast, a meme that's funny but about which there's not much to say, is more likely to get an upvote as some kind of compensation for the lack of discussion.

I read that tweet as something that wasn't really about Fallout: New Vegas, and more as something using it as a vehicle for a joke (about adult women being nostalgic for the games they played as teenage boys).

For the one rogue fuck, my Rogue One fuck would be:

Rey just 'okey-dokied' her way through the entire trilogy.

It's an obscure skill, but once you've learned how to quickly sex doughnuts, there's money to be made from it.

One witness complained that the security was concerned about food and beverages being brought into the theater, but did not catch Loibl's guns.

Sounds about right.

Also, the issue of obsessive fans is currently being highlighted by the plight of Chappel Roan, who now seems uncomfortable with the level of fame that she'd previously strived for.

When the Daily Mail says anybody 'faces fierce backlash', they mean a fierce backlash that they're about to stir up.

You can, but maybe you shouldn't. Given that this post is in the fediverse community, I don't feel too bad about mentioning that Lemmy is part of a federated network with PieFed and MBIN (I try not to bollock on too much about the platform I happen to be using).

In the ActivityPub JSON for this post, there is no indication that this field contains MarkDown. If anything, it says the opposite, it says it contains HTML. It's therefore not unreasonable for other platforms to render it as such.

Given this, and the poor support for mobile clients indicated in the comments, and the fact that it's only a subset of MarkDown tags, but include ones that aren't part of CommonMark standard, I'd argue that it's not necessarily a good idea.

If you continue to report opinions and simple disagreements as misinformation, we will take action against your account for report abuse, same as we would any account.

It doesn't seem unreasonable to me to interpret that as a threat to ban the account.

You can see the video that was originally quoted here: https://xcancel.com/billmaher/status/1844938477512675654#m

Bill Maher seems aggressively unfunny to me, but the gist of the video is that it's a open letter to Chappell Roan (who is pro-Palestine), saying that Israelis aren't colonisers, because the Bible mentions that they built a temple in that area before others in Middle-East settled there. It seems like a questionable claim to me, and there are plenty of replies to the video disagreeing with him.

Moist is down at the moment, so - in true Reddit fashion - maybe Lemmy just hugged it to death.

Luigi Mangione is the median American voter

They’re confused because they still believe the dominant divide in US politics is liberalism v conservatism. It’s not, and it hasn’t been for some time. Increasingly, even if they lack the exact language to explain it, voters do not identify foremost as Democrats or Republicans, progressives or traditionalists, or even left or right. They identify as pro-system or anti-system.

In the movie poster, I understand that the actor "chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer… because, without words we communicate with our eyes". The problem I have with it is that the thing she is communicating is not "I'm a wicked witch", but more "is this photoshoot over yet?" or "what shall have I for dinner?".

As well as her looking a bit indifferent, it also doesn't like the person next to her is actually whispering anything, because you typically use your hand to cup the space between the mouth and the ear for that, and the hand is too low down and too far away.

So I can see why fans would want to edit that original picture.
