Starfield - How long until some basic mods?

Title pretty much self-explanatory!...

What book did you push through despite wanting to put it down/rage quit/bail on?

Any VPNs comparable to IVPN and Mullvad by privacy, but also have port forwarding?

Since IVPN and Mullvad are both phasing out port forwarding, are there any alternatives? I am not looking for something like NordVPN which is a privacy nightmare. AirVPN is also not private enough considering I’ve seen reports online of ISPs sending out DMCA letters of gold to its users.

Visiting the US soon - do I really have to tip?

Why won't fediverse instances bloat and pop?

If content on the fediverse is federated and copied to local instances, then won't instances have to hold onto a forever increasing amount of data?

Why YSK: I’ve been seeing an increasing number of phone photos shared online in 9:16, 9:21 or similarly tall aspect ratios, often with parts of the subject cut off. I’ve asked a few people why they cropped their images that way, and none of them knew they were cropped.

I'm downloading so many YouTube videos!

Very happy about since I won’t have wifi for around a month.

Chain restaurant fees are getting absurd

I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits....

As much as I appreciate all that (vintage) Star Trek was trying to do, handling of a lot of women's issues were problematic or nonexistent.

I’m making my way through DS9 for the first time (almost finished with season two). For reference, I’ve seen TOG, TNG, all the new movies, Discovery, Lower Decks, and SNW. DS9 season one was a little slow to pick up, but my husband and I are loving season two. As always, Star Trek addresses a lot of hard hitting issues in...

YSK that you can edit titles on Lemmy, unlike Reddit.

Why YSK: You might be used to Reddit where you can’t edit titles. This is important both for the errant poster, but also for the person coming from ages in the future who might stumble upon it.
