They’ve added a sticky explaining (sort of) their reasoning. And also apologizing to those who think they should remain closed. I was going to cut and paste some parts but then the 5 minute daily screen timer I’ve imposed for ‘the app that shall not be named’ ran out.
Something about standing in front of a dam with a sieve.
Greetings from upside-down land. Here’s a copy-paste of the sticky:
The mod team have always refrained from joining in Reddit activism but we felt strongly enough to join the API blackout to try to preserve the apps that drew us to Reddit initially. Our roles in this community will become more difficult as a result of this policy change, and accessibility for users with special requirements is severely lacking on Reddit's main application.
It is clear to us from Spez's leaked email that he remains unabashed by the pushback from the communities and is resilient in pushing forward with the policy change. With communities much larger and much more imposing than CasualUK dropping out of the blackout, it has started to feel like standing in front of a dam with a sieve.. The whole time, the thing that really suffers is this community. There is an enormous support network in this subreddit for those who need it, and we want to continue to encourage and foster that spirit. This has always been a refuge from the goings on around the rest of the platform and we do not with the userbase to suffer as a result of Reddit's determination to close the third party sites.
We apologise unreservedly to those who think we should remain offline indefinitely, and we welcome those who want just want a place to talk about their day, or to mention if someone has done a shit in your bin.
I was just playing with this yesterday trying to get the Docker image working on ARM and I went down a rabbit hole trying to build a new image for ARM, not realizing that one is already built/distributed 🤦
The M’Benga-and-Chapel-are-Max-Payne sequence went on far too long: only one group aboard the ship had weapons (and Stormtrooper accuracy) of any kind? I’d have preferred a stealthier sequence: after reprogramming the transponder, they use a series of Jeffries tubes to get to the airlock with the intent of opening it to escape but the ship takes off to ruin that plan.
Other than that, it was a decent episode to get the season going. Spock’s emotional journey will be a focal point of the season, which I’m okay with. SPECTRE The Broken Circle Gang is probably going to show up again and I wonder if we’ll eventually see some TOS villains retconned to be members. Carol Kane will be fun and with what was said of her species, I’m betting on her making at least two ENT references during the season.
Interesting that the false-flag ship is Crossfield-class: the saucer is a clear match but the drive section is completely different. Were the Discovery and Glenn modified from that spec to fit the spore drive research project or was the ship we saw a wartime refit of the class?
So Die Hard on a spaceship? We did that with Starship Mine already but I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing it again. Is Starfleet’s version of the Hippocratic oath “First, do no harm, unless you have to, in which case go hard.”?
As for the Crossfield-Class, I thought it might either be that the classification of Discovery made them change the format of it for obfuscation purposes. Either that or they built that ship from salvaged parts from the war, and the saucer/transponder was from a Crossfield, and Uhura was simply reading from the transponder code the ship class.
Yuzu is already really impressive. I have a relatively low-end system (rx570, ryzen 2200g) so I’m not really trying to push graphics, but I’ve been playing totk comfortably at 20-30 fps (yeah I know my standards are low, but it’s perfectly enjoyable). There are a few occasional graphical bugs, but none are game breaking, and the major ones have been fixed. And remember, this game is a recent release. Older stuff is generally going to work a lot better.
Since it’s mostly cpu bound, with a more powerful system (and probably a less demanding game) you can probably up the resolution quite a bit. I was even able to turn on fsr without a noticable performance loss.
There’s a compatibility list you can check, although it seems down right now.
That compatibility list isn’t worth checking. It hasn’t been updated in years when compatibility can improve dramatically even between minor releases. I’m playing games at 1080p with no glitches on titles that the compatibility list tell me shouldn’t be able to get past the menu.
Also, that list doesn’t consider workarounds making a title playable, so titles like Diablo II, which apparently works just fine if you use an offline patch (haven’t tried this, myself), are listed as incompatible.
tl;dr: If that list says that a game is playable, it’s probably playable, but if it says the game is bad or not working at all, you’ll need to look into it yourself.
I’m using Etebase as a self-hosted backend for this purpose. It is zero-knowledge, so not even your own server knows about your calerdar, to-do list, and contacts (but it does know when have you edited entries, I think).
There’s an android app for synchronization, and on the desktop, you can run a daemon to expose a standard CalDAV/CardDAV interface for e.g., Thunderbird. The alternative is the Flutter-based client, either on the web or as a desktop app, I think, but I much rather prefer Thunderbird (I have other accounts from work to synchronize, too, and TB lets me look at them in one place).
I’m not sure about the Todoist integration, though. That sounds like it would compromise privacy.
But after the comment from @marsara9 I changed it to pull the image from dockerhub instead of building it myself. Now it pulls correctly and the server comes online but is almost unusable. The homepage displays but I cannot login as admin or create a new user :/
Have you edited your lemmy.hjson yet to ensure details match the docker-compose.yml? The instructions for that part are not very clear and I had to do lots of trial and error to get it working.
Also, @hyper, what does your nginx.conf look like? Now that the webpage is loading, the backend might be blocked/not configured properly in nginx, so nginx isn’t properly forwarding requests to the backend.
I use this knife which came with the toast rack and a jar of marmite. We don’t use the toast rack (two of us usually and 4 slice toaster), so we got rid of it eventually. The blade came out of the handle and the Marmite sign has come off, but I’ve since glued the blade back in (just need to wash off the residue but been lazy).
Man I feel ya… I got hit by a motorcycle in july last year and can’t use my left hand since then. It’s less bad than being in a wheelchair, but the pain caused by someone else is just godawful…
I’m pretty sure it’ll heal in time though. The body do be like that
Yes, they basically give you an email address where you can forward your newsletters. RSS might work too in some cases but not all newsletters support RSS!
As a teacher, I would always let kids go. Although depending on the situation, I might say “wait a minute until -other student - comes back” or “just listen to this instruction first so you know what to do”. You definitely get to know kids who ask to leave to get out of work, but rather than stopping them going, you need to work out why they are avoiding the work in the first place. Often it’s anxiety about the work being too hard, or they just need a sensory break because classrooms can be overwhelming. In those cases, it’s actually not that helpful to force them to stay in the situation anyway.
