- Comment on Request for FPS recommendations. 12 hours ago:
Maybe the S.T.A.L.K.E.R franchise? OG and call of pripyat might be kind of old and thus have too much jank, but 2 just came out, and it promised to bring a similar vibe, and I LOVED that vibe.
There’s also some boomer shooters that combine the Doom FPS style with a bit of roguelike, like : store.steampowered.com/app/1229490/ULTRAKILL/
- Comment on YSK about SomaFM, an independant non-commercial internet radio with really nice and diverse curated channels 1 week ago:
SomaFM is my fav Radio Station!
- Comment on Day One alternative? (FOSS preferred) 4 weeks ago:
Well they don’t display nicely on Android but the older plugin was viewable in android and the newer plugin is just a long special note, which you can view and edit on joplin mobile, but again, without the visual niceness they bring. Does that count as a way around?
- Comment on Day One alternative? (FOSS preferred) 4 weeks ago:
You could approach it as a Joplin plugins. I switched from Trello to Joplin Kanban and now Joplin YesYouKan. Seeing how powerful they can be, upping Joplin’s journaling game should be doable! And you don’t have to even start your whole own new project.
- Comment on This Cybertruck shaped man is destroying our government 4 weeks ago:
Baldness is something males experience so much more then females that it’s considered sexist to point it out to a male. But having hair seems to be a lot more universal. Would categorize that more under human affirming care 🤣

That’s pretty unfortunate 😔. Thanks for sharing, what’s next for you?

True :)
- Comment on Lending e-books in the EU just became a lot more complicated as libraries move to closed ecosystems 1 month ago:
Piracy is a service problem. If Videogames solved this problem, so can books. If changing these laws closes down libraries further, all of our EU representatives that worked on this legislation failed us immensely, libraries are already nothing but a faint whimper of the idea that started them off, and could fulfill an important cultural role for so much more folks. If only they were allowed.
But no. We have to think about those multibillion businesses who might miss a couple bucks left and right. Don’t know if anyone used that adobe DRM in the last 5 years but it’s basically a way to bully paying customers into an ecosystem, and you’re telling me they’re making it worse? Lol.
- Comment on Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books 1 month ago:
It’s a library manager, like iTunes, or Plex for movies, Google Photos/Picasa for photos/images . You pick a spot for you library locally, and then your local lib is a jump off point to load in on to any reader device you want. It will understand what device you are pushing it to, and automagically convert it to supported file-types.
The big difference with just copy-pasting is that you have a full library somewhere locally, and you can pick and choose what you load up on your reader. For me and maybe you, those lists are pretty close to identical, but what if you have a very large collection? And what if i just had to RMA my Libra? One click and a couple minutes after i receive my replacement, all of my books and reading progress will be synced back. If you had put your lib on the device itself, you would have had to rebuild it from scratch.

The pallets did nothing wrong!!
- Comment on Former Sony Exec Believes PlayStation 6 Will Retain Optical Disc Support 1 month ago:
Well if there is no physical market they can point to that facilitates reselling your license, they will need to support that digitally. So I believe it too!

This, ask questions, listen to the answers. If the personalities are so very different, I would make sure that i bring an extra dose of patience and chill, so that any moments where the personalities might ‘clash’ or find each other can be passed with respect and empathy, instead of frustration and emotion.
If I need more ‘connection power’, I will omit any negative comments that might float up my brain and keep them for myself for a while, and only focus on sharing my positive or neutral (philosophical?) thoughts about the current subject. Hope you can find some points to connect, but taking this kind of step to help that along is already a great sign :-). If you could update us in a while, I would love that.
- Comment on Steam Controller 2 is apparently a thing and being 'tooled for a mass production' plus a new VR controller 4 months ago:
It takes an extra second to read/see what you are supposed to do, but after that I have to agree with you, I also like the placement and actions required to replace the batteries.

Fantastic! I’m reducing my dependency on for profit entities every day, and federation is a great means to that end. Let’s welcome those moving over during the exodus!
- Comment on Maybe prehistoric cave paintings were actually the worst paintings of their time, because bad artists were forced to practice in caves where no one could see them. 4 months ago:
It’s a pretty funny picture, but why would the bad folk get to go in the cave? It feels to me that most caves would have been highly desirable locations back then.
- Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index 5 months ago:
How round one wants to be is easily influenced by external factors like culture, though. I think slim bodies look sleek and beautiful, but it’s probably healthier to have a bit of fat in the right places (for times when your digestive system is on the fritz)
I like the effort for a body weight stat being more complete or useful for individuals, but my efforts measuring BRI came up kind of wack too :(. We decided it judged me too thin.

Seems like a crazy breakthrough, nice that they started it on a chip, it’ll be quick to scale up

I daydream of Zomboid every week :) I just want to get out there and SURVIVE, man!
- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 5 months ago:
Maybe combine the loot fest with some hades difficult combat? I have similar feelings as yours, the genre is really cool but in the end, it’s all just this hidden grindfest? At least with (real) brutal combat, you still need to “make it happen”, big numbers is just the req.
- Comment on YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books. 5 months ago:
For Kindle specific ripping, I think it changed a year back and now you need to have a kindle connected before the Amazon servers poop out some magic unlock key/the whole book. After that you’re golden, but during the rip you need a kindle device…
