Kbin. I think it has a more interesting feature set. Plus, the main Lemmy devs are apparently ‘free speech absolutists’ similar to Elon. They refuse to take down reported posts on their main instance, stuff like North Korea not being oppressive, pro-Putin propaganda, etc.

Personal collection of useful links for Destiny players!

Great list! The only one I would add is Today in Destiny. It's a great resource for checking the daily and weekly active missions, raids, dungeons, lost sector, Xur location, etc.

It also has an 'EV Calendar' that lists all the stuff that will be silver-only for the season and another list for bright dust items. Sadly, it used to be able to tell us the exact week when items went up for BD and silver, but Bungie removed the timed window options from the API that TiD uses.

I am interested in steamdeck but I have heard that it is really heavy if you are holding it for many hours.

Well, most things probably get heavy if you're holding them for many hours. It all depends on your posture and seating arrangement. Can you lean on a table or desk? Playing on transit? Are you sitting on the couch? Standing somewhere? If you can find ways to lean your arms and hands on something, it can help a lot.

There are also lots of cases and stands that can prop up the Steam Deck so you can play with a controller, which is a bit lighter. You have lots of options.

### Thanks for avoiding the 'master race' phrase in this magazine ###

@Atemu It’s literally a phrase popularized by Nazis. There’s nothing tongue in cheek about it. When a large group of people assign their own awful meaning to a phrase, it takes on an entirely new meaning for them. It becomes a dog whistle for them. It opens the door to start spreading their bullshit.

A recent example: the far right’s malicious coopting of ‘woke.’

Another recent example: we have actual, real life Nazis walking the streets and the hallways of the US government. That didn’t happen in a vacuum.
