What happened? Did they kick your dog or something?

Right? That’s exactly why I give my business automations names like SupaWubbaDubbaHappyTimeAuthyWauthyTeeHeeSecurityWorkflow^_^.

Protons. As in protons, How many. On a weird logarithmic scale with 7 in the middle, of course.

- Comment on Thanks to the admins team and those who supported lemm.ee! 3 weeks ago:
I picked this instance basically on a whim but I’ve been so happy with it. The policies generally seemed very reasonable and welcoming. I thought it was doing fine because Sunaurus would periodically say the financials were in good shape, but I didn’t realize the admins were struggling. This is a sad surprise :(

Ok but was it a true penguin, or a false penguin like all the extant species today?

I’m mildly allergic so yeah they will fuck me up.
If I’m in an enclosed space with one (e.g. car) I’ll start a sneezing fit. And I assume if I eat one my mouth will itch or swell (not even gonna attempt it).
- Comment on On trees... 4 weeks ago:
My sister in law recently quipped that “Trees are a social construct” and at first I thought she was just being glib but now I can’t get that statement out of my head.

Huh. So they put it in one of those foil trays, like where people put hotdogs after grilling them. Seems a bit wasteful to only have one lonely log per tray. Oh well, TIL.

Yep, I’ve read a few of the others too. Excellent stuff!
- Comment on Steam Deck / Gaming News #16 5 weeks ago:
You’re amazing. Format is great. I just scroll past the stuff that doesn’t interest me, but more often than not something catches my eye and I end up reading stuff I wouldn’t have clicked on (let alone waded through ads for) on a regular gaming site. That’s such a good feeling, and yeah, reminds me of the old days.
- Comment on Dreams are extremely forgettable because the plot is flimsy, the dialogue is uninspired, and the acting is lifeless. 1 month ago:
Probably not. When awake, your brain is processing real input from your sensory systems (sight, sound, smell, etc). When dreaming, your brain fabricates those inputs, essentially replaying the neural circuitry from the dark and quiet comfort of your bed. Even without forming long-term memories, reality will still obey the laws of physics and causality but dreams don’t have to.

Hollow Knight isn’t exactly over when you finish the story. There are more flights, especially Godhome. If you can beat all that you’re an incredible player.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It’s a little more than that. I had to manually install speech-to-text and fiddle with language downloads and mic permissions to get that to work. And I had to disable exploit protection on my banking app so it would launch. And… well that’s about it. The rest was basically identical to setting up stock Android.

- Comment on Do you dislike your dependency on Android? To the rescue comes Mobile Linux "PostmarketOS" - Funded via Donations, Focus on Reliabilty for 2025 2 months ago:
My understanding is that AOSP is still and will continue to be a thing. That’s Android. What Google has done though is put more and more new capabilities into Play Services, which are not open, rather than AOSP.
I hope someone will correct me or add better nuance though.

I’m not sure what there is to discuss. These seem pretty accurate at this point.

I didn’t think to check Wikipedia for pharmacology info haha. Thanks.
- Comment on Xenon 4 months ago:
Isn’t that the same as Nitrogen, like Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works said? That doesn’t sound like there’s any unique mechanism to Xenon.
- Comment on Xenon 4 months ago:
Xenon is a drug?
Drugs.com calls it “physiologically inert” with some anaesthetic effects at high doses. Most of the coverage is about Xe-133 radiopharmacology and not what most people would think of as a “drug”.
- Comment on After Years of Struggling To Be Noticed, My Indie Game Was Covered By VICE 4 months ago:
I don’t disagree with you. But don’t you think there’s a component of it that’s like, “Hey I want to both 1) release a game and 2) put food on table”? Since 99% of players are on Windows, actually doing both kind of necessitates building for Windows first.
As Linux gamers I think we should keep going in the direction we’ve been and making it easier and easier for devs to port to Linux or run their games through Proton and so forth. It’s been amazing and my time as a player has been so good in the last couple years. If we keep showing that, more players will come over and the userbase will grow. I’ve heard from plenty of others who have ditched Windows, because gaming was their last holdout.
The big AAA publishers aren’t struggling for basic needs. We can make demands of them. But the small inside devs? Help 'em out where you can.
- Comment on AI Will Save Dating Apps. Or Maybe Finally Kill Them 4 months ago:
I’m no expert and I’ve been out of the game for a while, but as I recall the platforms are all quite different. Maybe it’s common now to only allow messages between matches.
But anyway, I was referring more to the trolls and harassers that need to be banned entirely, not just blocked/ignored by individuals. These people will put nasty inappropriate stuff as their profile pics in the first place, and create new accounts just to pester others.
- Comment on AI Will Save Dating Apps. Or Maybe Finally Kill Them 4 months ago:
I think the problem there is moderation. Who is going to do the work of blocking/banning 1000 creepy messages and dick pics per minute on an open platform?
- Comment on AI Will Save Dating Apps. Or Maybe Finally Kill Them 4 months ago:
Let’s be honest, what these apps are going to do is boost user engagement (read: waste your fucking time) by pulling you into conversations with AI chatbots. The longer you’re there, the more advertisements they can feed you. It’s going to be harder and harder to find a real person, because investors don’t benefit from that.

Satisfactory usually pulls me back for some Ficsmas construction. Though since v1.0 released I’ve been enjoying a lot more than that.
- Comment on James Webb Space Telescope Finds Stunning Evidence for Alternate Theory of Gravity - The Debrief 7 months ago:
Haha, well if it’s any consolation, nobody fully understands it. That’s why we’re still looking at various theories of quantum gravity or even random gravity.
- Comment on James Webb Space Telescope Finds Stunning Evidence for Alternate Theory of Gravity - The Debrief 7 months ago:
Hypothesis, sure. But it needs to hold up to testing better than Lambda-CDM if we’re gonna call it the best hypothesis.
