One claim is DDOS attacks, another claim is that the servers are too small for the massive amount of people that recently adopted lemmy

I'd love to know which is true just because .. . . it's fun to know details

It's fun to watch all the horrible religious missionary type people and tongue-amputators outing themselves like flies to a honeypot.

People be trying sooo hard to sound like Gul Darheel the Butcher, 'scum' this 'i'll make you bow' that, lol!

Alsoooooooo. . People depict the last supper all the time. This isn't pakistan - there's no death sentence for imitation.

Unless you wanna go around lynching and yellow-badge-registrar'ing every four year old child who ever copycatted a religious painting in badly scribbled crayon.

Explosives to clean a cement truck. At first they tested it practically(empty-drum with just a layer of dried cement leftovers) but eventually went with the overkill scenario at the end: full-drum and real dynamite. Pretty fun episode

An 8 inch mini monitor. I find myself . . . using it for everyyyyythhiiinnnng. Videos, documentation, Remote Desktop Sessions etc etc etc. It even has composite and BNC so I could hook up a playstation if I wanted to. :)

I bought it just because the thought of having it was funny. And holy crap the size difference!!

Of course there's a fee. Do they not realize how expensive it is to fileserve useless videogame data, provide versioning for that, updater systems, workshop storage, curation, promotion etc etc. . . without help?

Is there not a fee for your competing storefront? How would it fund its daily operations?

I always saw kobolds as 'slightly redder than normal goblins' in old grindy korean MMOs

Bundled with every installer in existence with the checkbox checked-on by default.

I use Krita because I do hand drawn animation so I haven't pirated photoshop since like . . 2008. I even use it and a tiltpen to paint tangent normals for bump mapping

'videogame ice effect'

I seriously love the over-the-top ice shaders used in all those early 2000s games. Ice always looked amazing, just this super bright white with pearlescent whitish-blue highlights that shimmered at odd angles and stuff. It's so cool.

Like the bridge tunnel in IceFields from HaloPC in 2003.

Or the almost-fully-transparent ice tunnel in Crysis Warhead (and firefall. Firefall had AMAZING ice shaders, it had some direction-based visual stuff going on where it had volumetric speckles all throuought the foot-thick ice).

Honestly: ice-themed anything looks cool to me, color-wise

I just wish people would step up to a bigger scale when it's needed or to a smaller scale for the same reason. I hate seeing big massive boats measured in thousands upon thousands of centimeters instead of just using meters or feet, and it's annoying when people say their height in hundreds of millimeters.

Or when knife-blade thickness gets measured in hundredths of decimal inches or weird fractional measurements instead of just using millimeters since it's a smaller unit.

Art, annotation, memos, hand drawn animation, business'y stuff of that nature

It kinda depends on the stylus though: Some are actual digitizers(pressure sensitivity for use as a paintbrush, some even recognize tilt and rotation for calligraphy) while others are just a rubber nib on a stick(rubber finger...on a stick..no electronics just rubber).

Pretending not to know is the preferable choice for me.

I want that as a real UI option 😶

I haven't been in a theater since college back in 2011.. I really should walk into one and check the prices some time

I really hate when plastic tupperwares ooze grease even if you wash them ten times . If baking soda doesn't work, there is an even stronger option: washing soda.

I use baking soda to wash holiday glassware that spends all year on top of the nasty cabinets above the stove and it kills the sticky mildew feel almost instantly. But when push comes to shove, washing soda is even more insane than baking soda.

Just be sure to rinse thoroughly so it doesn't end up in the food

Seeing only (edit..) two to three // results per scroll is way too cramped.

I miss the early 2000s when you'd get like 15 or 20 search results a page on a 1280 monitor because hosts weren't BLIND.

Sounds pretty helpful to me. Like really old first-generation Opera when it was really proud of its ability to search like 15 different search engines by putting g or b or w or y or whatever in the address bar before typing a search query or when it had still had its own built-in email program

Whatever causes the asker to have the biggest breakdown at the time!

"4G-LTE"? Well that's 'Forgull'ty'

As long as it supports the USB-C PowerDelivery standard and has the supported voltages and wattage needed to do so. Most laptops will need 20v.

For chargers as small as those little phone-bricks the main problems would probably be the wiregauge of the USBC cable and the heat. Being so small and without exhaust vents I imagine the poor little charger would be at risk of early heat death. But it's doable

I've been able to normal-charge a 15 inch IdeaPad 82R9 using a little 1x1 inch 35watt GaN charger. But this was with the CPU locked to not go over 25% load(this laptop is FAST even with this sacrifice) and it makes that little charger get pretty hot. Without that CPU limit in place it actually drains faster than the charger can charge.

I actually really like that the washing machine and my makita charger do those noises just because I've never heard appliances do musical stuff before and think it's really cool. BUUUUT:

I would totally hate it if anything.* aaaanything at allllll* in the kitchen were to make music the same way. Microwaves -- and the oven -- and the pressure cooker -- are already extremely loud and obnoxious as they are.

The washing machine and battery charger are somehow fine just because I don't associate them with the kitchen appliances I grew up being screamed-at by. The whole 'conditioned to be annoyed by X but when Y does it it's fine' thing
