Will there really be a big influx of users on the 30th?
I dunno, but the fact that I'm browsing a post with 118 comments using a skin that looks a lot like Apollo tells that things are going in a good direction.

‘A dangerous step backwards’: outrage at supreme court’s LGBTQ+ rights ruling
Reply in thread
The problem is that the courts are creating a two-tier society. One for non-religious people, and another for people who don't want to be nice because their in-group says they don't have to be.

Reddit protest plunges user engagement, site activity and ad portal visits
This is a really weird article with sentences in it that don't make sense.
"the amount of time people spent on the Reddit website by close to 16% between June 12 and 13" - what does that mean?
"Web traffic of the platform also declined to about 52 million" - 52 million ?
With ChatGPT getting popular, I'm starting to wonder what I'm reading.

[PC Gamer] D&D's upcoming virtual tabletop radiates a big-budget misunderstanding of what matters in role-playing games

The best Lemmy app so far is "Wefwef" hands down. If you loved Apollo you'd love this.

Beeper vs Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation - Android Authority

That's not what they're doing. They're using Apple's version for free. They're also encouring their users to violate their terms of service agreements with Apple en-masse.

I feel like conversatives just learn first principals and stop there. It's kinda sad. The FCC, FTC, etc exist in order to keep our markets fair and consumer friendly.
This weird, free-trade utopia that they dream about does not exist, has never existed, and cannot exist. Instead when you remove all the regulation, you get anarchy like we see today in many 3rd world countries.
I would love to see our government get more efficient and targetted with its regulation, but to simply argue against it is extremely naive.

iPhone 15 Models Finally Show Battery's Cycle Count
Reply in thread
The implication that having a cycle count on your phone is going to drive upgrades is bizarre.
"Hey, what made you decide to get the new iPhone?"
"It has battery cycle counts!"
I can see it already.

I think a trap a lot of players fall into in D&D is that in-combat healing is bad. Out of combat, sure, but during combat the better play 99% of the time is to do damage to the enemies, not heal your party.
Start thinking about how you can do damage with Clerics and you'll start to see the possibilities.

All iPhone 15 Models Support DisplayPort for Up to 4K HDR Video Output

I don't think we'll see it for a few years, but I feel like Apple has laid out their plans for this when they announced the VisionPro. It runs iPhone and iPad apps in Stage Manager. So does the iPad Pro. And I can definitely see that it's a possibility for the phones in the future.
Now the chips in the phones aren't M-series, so it might be a while until we've got the horsepower, and I'm sure there's some developer-changes necessary as well, but it doesn't seem out of the question.

[Wargamer] Bard and Druid get new DnD subclasses in latest 5e playtest

I read the ocean (was it "sea"?) druid, and it just didn't look very flavorful. I mean, I guess it's got power, but I don't really understand the fantasy.

Question about Bard feats at level 4.
Reply in thread
Alert is also a very powerful feat (more powerful than 5e because in 5e initiative rolls are a d20). Going first means that you can cast your bard spells before the enemy has a chance to do anything, potentially robbing multiple enemies of their turns.
