Hello Lemmy user Big French Bread AT Men Going Their Own Way Lemmy DOT Org, I think you might be doing a eugenics here. Maybe you should not do a eugenics in the future. We’ve made the discovery several times that it is Bad for Many Reasons, and thus should not be done.
If you find a site you like, you can put /feed at the end of the base URL and it’ll give the RSS feed about 40% of the time, since about 40% of sites use WordPress.
I have no direct recs aside that, just figured it was generally useful if anyone else posts a good site
404 Media has a full text RSS feed, but it’s paid-only

This I’d, admittedly, a shaky memory from when Win10 was first released, but while you could disable the visible portions of Cortana, I remember being unable to disable the telemetry portion. Hell I remember a custom version of Win10 being built to remove all of the tracking stuff they put in it, I think RevOS was the name?
Admittedly I haven’t used Windows at all outside of work in almost 4 years, and even then it hadn’t been my primary OS for a few years, so memory’s fuzzy
Ehh… I’ve yet to get a virus from pirating games. Only virus I’ve ever gotten was on my childhood PC when my uncle was watching some sketchy adult content. I was just playing neopets at the time, so I doubt it was me
Kernel level anticheat is mostly in MMORPGs, which is my preferred genre, though there are some games without it. Notably Final Fantasy XIV, and Guild Wars 2 have no anticheat in the client at all. It also depends on the anticheat how much I’m willing to put up with it. XIGNCode is a hard no from me, but nprotect, and easyanticheat are both whatever IMO. Pick your threat model though.
The most complicated game is Wurm Online, and that’s because there’s something going on with my desktop where it just. Crashes. Constantly. I can usually get it to stay on indefinitely after 8 restarts, but it’s annoying.
Consoles are only future proof if you consider that eventually games will stop being released for them, and parts will stop being made. Sure you’ll be able to play the games you already own on them forever, but… Also your PC will be able to run any game on them forever, at least until the hardware degrades, but that also goes for consoles.
If you want to go fully no DRM, GOG is your best bet for most games. Itch.io is also there, but it’s mostly indie games, which isn’t everyone’s scene.
Overall I don’t think of it as complicated, but I’ve been PC gaming consistently for… 25 ish years? I’m largely used to it.
Honestly I assumed it was the people you’d share your bomb shelter with for a while.
I used to do a lot of pasta, but I stumbled upon a master recipe that works so damn well. It’s based on chicken rice, which is a dish seen… Basically everywhere? This is all by weight:
You only need 4 parts water, but I find the rice comes out better with 5.
I have yet to find a combination that tastes bad. Some things to try:
For jambalaya use half sausage, half chicken for the meat, then use a mix of onion+green bell pepper+celery for the veg. Brown the meat, throw the veg in until it’s soft, then throw the rice and water in.
Toast the rice first! Don’t wash it if you do or it won’t toast right. Oil in a pan over medium heat until the rice is brown.
Most commonly I use spam as the meat, since I don’t always have chicken on hand. Usually have to undersalt it for this.
Overall I use peas and carrots most for the veggies, since they come really small. Broccoli also works.
Use frozen veggies! They taste fine, they’re just as nutritious as fresh, and they save a lot of time
Season salt (any kind, I use Tony Chacheres) is an amazing thing.
If you want a side with it I usually do Greek yogurt+fruit. Ton of protein (helps keep you full longer, great if you can’t snack on the job), plus some fiber from the fruit. I use fruit canned in juice for it. Just strain the fruit first. A small can of fruit in a pound of yogurt is how much I do. Put it into containers and you’re done!

Depends on where it hits, really. Some places you die instantly, others you’ll suffer then die, others you’ll become personally disabled/have your personality entirely changed, and sometimes you’ll be fine after the recovery
Crying isn’t inherently harmful, but if you suddenly start crying a lot more than usual it might be a reason to see either a doctor or a psych. It’s a symptom of stuff, but if you just cry a lot normally that’s fine
I was gonna make a comment about how it’s only base 60 up to a certain point because I was going to make a comment about how it’s only base 60 math, but since you can only go up to 99 minutes, it is just base 60 math but formatted in base 10 because fuck us I guess.
Whoever invented how we measure time was an asshole
It’s easy to miss, and super easy to treat. Literally have heard of people going into the hospital for it, being given a glass of orange juice, and feeling better within minutes
To add onto this, like others have said, it also doesn’t actually create any long-term jobs. It’s a construction project, then a remote facility, nobody’s ever at these things
Given how they eat now, probably olive oil mixed with herbs. Hell they still eat that, and it’s delicious tbh
Yeah, it’s a pretty common factor. The weird thing is my church wasn’t particularly anti-gay, and none of my family cared, but Catholicism is inherently anti-gay for the same reason it’s inherently anti-birth control: sex is only for procreation in the eyes of the church. Because of that I didn’t actually come out to anyone in my family until I was in my 20s, and about to leave the state.
While there are a lot of problems with Christianity*, the bigger issues run deeper than the faith. People cherrypick the shit out of Christianity so they can live their lives, especially Catholicism**. People use their faith to justify their shitty opinions, while ignoring the faith when it goes against their lifestyle/other opinions, see: people calling empathy a sin despite that being Jesus’ whole thing.
There’s definitely a world where Christianity* can coexist with everyone else. It’s just getting there is the problem, and if we want to get there, then Christians* need to actually pull their heads out of their asses, and listen to the people around them. Also to face actual consequences for their shit-ass opinions, since having their kids cut them off apparently isn’t enough
** The Old Testament is full of stuff no one cares about, see Leviticus 19:19, or Deuteronomy 23:2
I switched off of KDE, and now I miss being able to do it
Never heard that term, but I now know how to find more things to enjoy, ty!
Oh, wild, didn’t know that. I hadn’t gotten into it when it came out.
I did kind of toy around with the idea of throwing Endless Eight into the rest of the series every couple of episodes instead of back to back if I rewatch. I was kinda tired of it by 6, plus I think the deja vu every couple episodes would be fun
I do still think the confusion was kinda fun, in a certain way. That does explain why episodes 16-28 were chronological though
I mean, the entirety of my interaction with my parents was:
Mom: Dumped me on her mom, and grandma
Dad: Left the state to chase tail
So, y’know. Short list of things not to do.
In terms of adults in general:
I think that’s it, really. Aside one thing: They’re people, not property. Treat them like people, and you’ll have a lot better time with them.
Yeah… I wish I wasn’t as much of a sims fan as I am. Here’s hoping Paralives is good…
