Damn, never seen that before. Is it a windows 11 thing? It’s looking more and more like I’ll have to move to linux on my desktop, I guess.

Edit: hard to find a source for the image; I assume if it was real there’d be a lot more reports of this online but I’m not seeing those.

Yeah after some googling I’m kinda thinking this is a fake screenshot, idk

Another vote here for ProtonVPN, though it doesn’t support port forwarding via a GUI on Linux, only OpenSSL and Wireguard configs. I set it up with gluetun, qBittorrent, and qBittorrent-natmap and and it just works.

I’m curious, how are you discovering new music this way? my understanding of soulseek and nicotine+ is that they’re great for finding music by artists you already know, but idk how they would work for discovery..?

Unfortunately migration isn’t built into Lemmy yet, but I’d guess it’s on their feature wishlist.

At some point a week or so ago, someone posted a question asking what the best foods are to eat so to minimize (or eliminate) pooping for 3 days – and refused to explain why they needed this.

That post blew up, and for several days afterwards people were making references to it and jokes about it!

Oh. my. god. This is such amazing news!! Chesko was an amazing modder, and economy design was one of the often-changed areas of Skyrim, so to hear that he had a hand in Starfield’s economy is incredibly exciting to me.

Yup, the same thing happened around the idea of “self-care” – it became a way to project an aesthetic, ended up being used as a way to sell people more stuff they don’t need, and now is more about “self-comfort” or pampering.

My high school and college journals are filled with so much angst about crushes and “do they like me? don’t they like me?” that it’s physically difficult to re-read them now, hah.

I had a crush on a redhead from about 10 until I left for college (it was a small town), then crushed on the various guys in my dorm and friend group (and one hot artist girl in a philosophy class) until I decided I needed to practice dating in junior year and actually went on a few thanks to Tinder. Though I didn’t escape entirely as I had a couple crushes on regular customers when I worked in an art supply store after graduating.

Now I’m happily partnered and do not miss the mental anxiety of crushes, though there’s a twinge of excitement in the idea of having a crush that will always be nostalgic.

Namecheap has okay starting prices but man their renewal prices aren’t great compared to other registrars.

Just mentioning to cover all the bases: you'll want to make sure you're using the correct multi-value YAML syntax in your front-matter when you include multiple authors (eg. single line or multi line array). I like using the Linter plugin to help me out with this.

# single-line array
author: [Sam Jones, Mary Apple]

# multi-line array
author:
- Sam Jones
- Mary Apple

Once you have something like the above, using flatten should enable returning results for either author; with one test file in my vault, this worked for me:

TABLE WITHOUT ID
link(file.link, title) as "Title", author FROM #books FLATTEN author WHERE author = "Sam Jones"

For a second I thought this was Red Baron, a dogfighting game my brother used to play when we were kids. There’s a definite style to the dials in both!

Thinking about reducing plastic fucks me up and it’s been on my mind a lot lately. Noticing every single time we bring new plastic into the household, and how hard it is to avoid. Chicken comes in plastic wrap, and even if we got it at a butcher counter, they still toss it in a plastic bag before wrapping it in brown paper. Bags of potting soil, our toothpaste tubes, peanut butter jars… it’s endless.

At least the majority of my clothes are cotton or wool, but another source is carpet and there isn’t anything I can do about this apartment carpet.

Haha, “an app from 10 years ago” is so true. I kept using AlienBlue through thick and thin for exactly the reason – it’s heavily text focused and all about the comments. No “cards” design or auto-playing videos or what have you.

now I’m curious what the click-bait title pays off with. Is the answer “figure out what emotions you have around the thing, feel through them, then just do the thing”?

Great article! I appreciate how it addresses the commonly raised reasons and points to a way forward.

what pen? :)

degree in Visual Art, work in digital asset management for a marketing (blech) studio. I'd love to get into a DAM position at somewhere less ethically awful, like a symphony or museum or something, buuut my position pays really well relatively speaking to other similar similar jobs I've looked at, so that'll have to wait until I feel more established in life.

took a couple basic comp-sci classes in college, though, and went to a coding bootcamp before I got my current position. running linux on my laptop, might switch to it on my desktop. I make use of bash for renaming files a lot at my job.

there's a lot about tech-heavy areas that interests me, but it'd drive me crazy to be around too much of it. I think there's a lot of good in the liberal arts that tends to get missed by the sort of hard rationalists that tend to hang out in tech spaces.

I wonder if it will correlate to the distance the planets are from the center / settled planets? So the further out into "wild" space you get, the higher the difficulty level.

idk how I feel about them showing the level in the UI, though. Elden Ring has scaled areas but you find out by showing up and then getting wrecked, which adds to the story of your playthrough. with levels being shown in the UI, you can just choose to avoid the higher level places early and lose out on that kind of learning-by-exploring.

I love Madeline Miller’s books set in Ancient Greece. The Song of Achilles is set during the Trojan War, and Circe explores several Greek myths through Circe’s perspective. The Song of Achilles definitely made me tear up at some points, and really made the inclusion of Patroclus and Achilles in the game Hades hit way harder for me.
