Maybe I try cracking a game sometime! I used to play MyPlayCity games all the time and i can’t even open them because they aren’t even on myplaycity website and the ones aren’t opening at all and I don’t know why. I wish I could just play all the MyPlayCity games without worrying about anything!

An iOS and android app would be helpful in making lemmy more accessible

I’m using Memmy, whose UI is inspired by Apollo. It’s not perfect, but functional and looks great! You can use it through TestFlight

bobbysworld , to cooking in What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?

chicken (or vegetable) broth in lieu of water to cook rice.

camelCaseGuy ,

I cannot stress this one enough. This turns simple white rice in practically a risotto. And if you REALLY want to make a risotto, you’re just three steps away from this.

SpaceNoodle ,

Four steps is still a lot more than three steps.

bobbysworld , to cooking in What are the best cooking hacks you've learned over the years?

This one is a little bit of a hot take, but bottled lemon or lime juice is good for consistency. While fresh will most certainly be better, you may inadvertently juice a bad lemon/lime and potentially ruin a dish. Bottled juices can last a bit longer in the fridge.

AnarchistArtificer ,

Similar, but more situational argument for tinned fruits/veggies. Sometimes, the consistency is more important than the freshness.

SpaceNoodle ,

Honestly, canned tomatoes will be fresh almost 100% of the time.

doogles769 ,

Speaking of canned tomatoes, there can be a huge difference between brands. If canned tomatoes make up the bulk of the recipe I prefer to spend a little extra.

Thanks for this ! I learned quite a few things, even on stuff I thought I had already understood !

Well I just finished again as of old game Pokémon Yellow, so that should counts, a game that I actively play almost daily is Jump Ultimate Stars for DS though.

xaxl , to fediverse in For my first post on Lemmy, I present the last post I made on Reddit 11 years ago. Thank you to everyone that has made the fediverse happen.

There is fortunately enough content across the fediverse currently to keep me away from Reddit and I hope it stays like this

They don’t want content from that website on their instance, and they’re an admin, if not owner of it. Part of the beauty of the fediverse is, you get to run your own place and have your own rules. I can’t really fault him for that.

14th_cylon ,

and they’re an admin, if not owner of it.

there is a difference between doing moderation for the good of the community and being kid on a powertrip. when person asks “which of the new trek is worth watching” and then the mod starts deleting and banning people saying “x is not good, you are better watching y”, just because the mod is fan of “x”, that is not moderating, that is just shameful.

the mod is not owner of the community, it is the community that creates the content. we literally just had reddit-exit because of that.

ProfessionalHandJob , to selfhosted in Welcome to [email protected] - What do you selfhost?
@ProfessionalHandJob@lemmy.beyondcombustion.net avatar

currently, I selfhost beyondcombustion.net and now lemmy.beyondcombustion.net for /r/vaporents and hopefully others. There’s other stuff I self host too, this is the fun new stuff though.

As official as it gets lol.

I’m one of the mods, have a stickied post on this with a link at the end. Just haven’t made a separate official post about it yet.

BeyondCombustion.net has been our wiki, formerly at github.io, for the last few years.

Decided to point that domain at some dell R720xd/R730xd boxes I picked up and setup a whole new entry into the fediverse, along with a number of other things for our users.

That’s great having you here. I’ll stick around, and maybe post something to the community soon with my modest setup to have a little talk :)

query , to showerthoughts in Wouldn't it be nice if instead of just bars with alcohol, there were establishments for people to consume cannabis while eating, playing board games, and socializing?

If they replaced individual bars rather than expanded the space where drug consumption is the basis of socializing.

Cruxifux ,

I don’t smoke weed, but phrasing it’s usage as “drug consumption” always annoyed me. It makes it sound like it’s the same thing as heroin or meth, which it’s not even close to the same thing.

@Faceman2K23@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I understand why they don’t want links to GFR, they are a a clickbaity source with little real content, but banning you for questioning it is a bit far, a simple explanation would suffice (“hey, sorry you’re upset, here’s why it was removed, have a nice day” with a polite explanation of their stance of GFR and others like them) and we would all just say “oh ok, fair enough”, you would edit your post to say it was all good just a misunderstanding and we would all move on.

I know that on /r/startrek that source was in the automods blacklist so I can understand removing it, but the ban was way out of line when a conversation was possible and very, very easily resolved.

I also got a PM from that particular mod which rubs me the wrong way. if they want to explain their stance, they need to do it in a post to the whole community so we can talk about it, this place is supposed to offer a new start for a startrek community forum and that should start with a conversation between the users and the mods on how we all want it to work, not bans and pms to anyone who questions them.

klieg2323 OP ,
@klieg2323@lemmy.piperservers.net avatar

I can understand that too knowing the context. I personallay still think that article did was thought provoking enough to Garner discussion in the comments, which is half the point of a site like this.

But i agree, it’s why I made the post! This is something to be discussed as a community as we all escape reddit. This is the time to be ironing these things out. We need these discussions and rules to prevent a mod from feeling they need to ban someone for “drama”. Have clear defined rules agreed soon by the community and that problem is solved. Banning people trying to talk about getting a more clear ruleset in place is just asinine. Soon it’s only going to be that mod posting and nobody commenting.

I also get things may have been one way on Reddit, but that also doesn’t mean it automatically applies here. Even if it did it’s not hard to copy and paste rules from reddit to here.

Also, did I see in the modlog they ( @ValueSubtracted is lurking and should really learn this site is way more transparent than reddit) banned you too?

EDIT: Just checked the modlog. They banned you for making this post I’m replying to on a different instance. How anyone could not see that as a red flag of petty retributive mod abuse then I don’t know what is. For what it’s worth, I banned them from my (much smaller but hopefully gonna pic up some Trekkies soon) instance so they’ll never know what’s being missed 😜 of course I’d happily reverse it if they cool off and explain their actions.

I believe the point of OP’s “thought” Is that death-by-implosion is basically instant (30 milliseconds) so it could be considered more humane than other methods.

Pat12 , to showerthoughts in Wouldn't it be nice if instead of just bars with alcohol, there were establishments for people to consume cannabis while eating, playing board games, and socializing?

The difference is you can’t taste other people’s alcohol but you can smell others’ smoke

@insomniac_lemon@kbin.social avatar

Dry vaporizers (with temperature below 200C, convection-based) don't have smoke so are a lot less offensive with smell, if not odorless particularly with access to fresh air.

Also people smelling of alcohol, particularly if they are drunk or drinking liquor, is definitely a thing. Also barfing. I wouldn't doubt bars having bad smells sometimes.

zeppo ,
@zeppo@lemmy.world avatar

People who are going to a place to smoke typically wouldn’t mind that. Take cigar or vape lounges, for instance. Also it’s usually people who don’t smoke weed who act like the smell of weed bothers them.

Pat12 ,

right but my point is if a group of friends want to go to a bar and some people don’t smoke or like the smell of smoke then there is a problem, it’s not like they can just opt not to smell smoke

JickleMithers ,

...that's why you would only go to a place like that if everyone is down. Having them for people that want to go is fine, no one is forced to go.

WhiteHawk ,

That sounds nice in theory, but in reality the result is usually that if the majority of a group smokes, the nonsmokers don’t have much of a choice except for looking for new friends. That was a very common complaint when smoking in pubs and restaurants was still legal here.

JickleMithers ,

Just because one person doesn't want to go to something doesn't mean they shouldn't exist. You're basically saying one person's opinion/choice outweighs an entire group. If those choices constantly put you at odds with the group it might be best to find a group that aligns with your values more. There's also nothing wrong with being friends with the people that want to go to things you don't like, just tag along when they do things you do like. You also don't have to have one set of friends, you can have multiple groups that like to do different things. I'm not pro banning things for the sake of others that can choose not to participate.

there are THC drinks where I live, always a nice option for me to have at gatherings as a non-alcohol person.

pineapplefriedrice OP ,

Right but you can consume cannabis in tons of different ways - cookies, cocktails, etc. Restaurants had smoking areas for decades with far worse air filtration systems.

@Ronno@kbin.social avatar

Watching from a far (The Netherlands), it always amazed me how the political scale in the US is described. Even the democrats in the US feel more to the right, then positioned in the US. Some people go as far to call democrats communist, but I don't think these people know what communist really is, in the same way that Americans don't seem to know what (neo)liberal actually is. It is both entertaining and concerning to watch.

Aceticon ,

Yeah, the idea that Democrats are center-left is hilarious - by the standards in most of Europe, they’re not even center-right, just plain rightwing, whilst the Republicans are pretty much far-right (given their heavy religious, ultra-nationalis, anti-immigrant and warmongering - amongst others - rethoric).

The Overtoon Window has moved to the Right everywhere but in the US it did way much further than in most of Europe.

As for the whole neoliberalism stuff, it’s pretty easy to spot the neoliberal parties even when they’ve disguised themselves as leftwing or (genuine) conservatives: they’re the ones always obcessing about what’s good for businesses whilst never distinguishing between businesses which are good for people and society and those which aren’t: in other words, they don’t see businesses (and hence what’s “good for businesses”) as a means to the end of being “good for people” (i.e. “good for businesses which are good for people hence good for people”) but as an end in itself quite independently of what that does for people.
