I'm not fond of blizzard and I think overwatch 2's time has long since passed so I'm not sure how helpful this will be

But I still play hearthstone and I sincerely think that it's the best the game has ever been so hopefully a steam release is a second wind for the game. Not that it's dead by any means but I'd love for it to feel like a popular game again

One day, after school, I decided to tinker with the Mac systems at my school, and in that process I learned that Mac has a virtual drive that it uses as a setup medium that it doesn't clear, it just un-mounts, when you finish installing. So I just re-mounted the setup drive on the computer from the command line, restarted, booted in like I was setting up a fresh new computer and gave myself an admin account on one of the computers in our lab. Didn't really do anything nefarious with it, but it was a fun little experiment regardless

I'm utterly shocked they're actually fixing guardian stows. I'm grateful as hell but I didn't expect it to happen

1 is definitely a bug, I'm in like 50 servers and I don't have that happen like ever. 3 I can't dispute, but I think that's largely because they've increased their feature set for different kinds of users faster than their UI team has been able to accommodate for them. Better sorting for servers would be amazing

2, there definitely is. On mobile it's the bell icon at the bottom when you pull out the sidebar, on desktop it's the icon that looks like a desk tray at the top right, they let you see notifications either from the active server or globally, so idk what you mean.

Sure, and when that day comes I'm there to criticize discord for it. But, given they need to make money (they have to, they don't have the option to just operate at a loss for the rest of time), it's worth acknowledging their attempts to make money without infringing on the service the users actually signed up for.

honestly as long as the stuff that discord is monetizing stays additive instead of changing services we already use to be paid-for, I really don't mind if discord gives creators (and, by way of that, themselves) ways to generate revenue. Discord, even as a completely free service, is really far ahead of other similar platforms and offerings. I don't expect them to be 100% consumer-first at the expense of generating profits (as much as i wish it were feasible for them to be), but the ways in which they've done that so far have been surprisingly unobtrusive.

Kbin is nice but I have a mastodon page if I want to engage with any microblogging stuff, no real need to get that out of my link aggregator/forum experience as well.

Calling them virtues is charitable if you're doing this while willfully refusing to acknowledge the fact that you stand on millions of hours of volunteer labor and you'd rather spit on them than give them their due. It's a lie by omission.

Being simple and honest is a virtue if the things you're saying are principled, being simple and honest when you're a slimy businessperson with zero sense of moral agency just makes you a fucking leech

Hey! I recently made carne asada for my partner -- they haven't had good mexican food like that before, and I spent a number of years in texas and grew up with a mother from texas so tex mex food is very near and dear to my heart, and everything came out great, except the home-made tortillas. They felt more like griddle cakes than the corn tortillas I'm used to, and I don't think i got the ratios wrong on water to masa harina? It's hard to say if it was actually an issue with the ratios, if it was something with the heat of the cook surface (We don't have a griddle yet so I had to use a stainless steel pan, not sure if those get hot enough/retain enough thermal mass), if it was something with the masa harina itself, or what. Do any of you have experience making corn tortillas and have any advice? Or should I just go to the carniceria i got the carne asada from and ask if they make fresh tortillas lmao

afaik, jerboa's the only option. I actually like the UI for lemmur, but it's abandoned and doesn't seem like anyone's forking + updating it so for the time being, we only have jerboa.

I did see a toolkit that translates reddit API calls to lemmy API calls, which might be useful if any reddit app dev has any interest in translating their app to work for the fediverse, but I'm not sure how likely that is

 

I'm kind of unhappy with some of the changes but the more I sit on others, the more interested I am with this patch? It's gonna have growing pains for sure but I'm curious how other people feel

Really? I literally got served a CNN article about the blackout, it's definitely getting coverage
