  Ah. An EEE move by Sony? Embrace (Steam), Extend (add PSN requirement), Extinguish (bye Steam).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield’s biggest update yet fixes its rubbish maps, adds custom difficulty and expands ship decoration⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Coming from No Man’s Sky with its six(?) ground vehicles, Starfield was a painful slog… Not to mention all the forced animations and loading screens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Energy giant wrongly received thousands from welfare payments of former customers under Centrelink scheme⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  thousands

  While technically correct, with $700k, I would argue that, “almost a million dollar” would give me a better picture of the scale of the problem than just “thousands”.

  Nah. He’ll just claim the trophy for himself. And second and third place while he’s at it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any games like Diablo but not Diablo because Diablo?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Omg how have I not heard about this. I’m blaming you for my lack of social life in the next couple weeks. Not that I have one to begin with.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there someone who can help me with an html/java related issue?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You may get a better answer if you follow the suggestion in the comment at the bottom of your source:

  // - Ask our friendly community members if you need help: lemmy.world/c/perchance

  The syntax is specific to Perchance, a website that 99% of the general public have never heard of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Questions about the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  (oversimplified) they are “interconnected” just like emails are interconnected. I can log into Gmail and send an email to someone else at Hotmail. But I can’t actually use Gmail credentials to log into Hotmail.

  In the 'verse, “Federation” means every instance (I’m on aussie.zone) holds a copy of every other instance (I can see your post without ever visiting lemm.ee). This reply I’m posting is held in my instance, and a copy is sent to yours.

  If lemm.ee shuts down tomorrow, this thread will remain to exist in the thousands of other instances that are federated with lemm.ee today.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to run a temporary eth cable?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know where you are, but painter’s tape (or masking tape) comes in all sorts of colours. Including white.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how to repair a RJ45 cable?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The way I normally do it is the following. Strip the sleeve further back than you need (say, an inch). Untwist the 8 cores and separate them.

  Arrange them in the right order (the extra length makes this easy) Flatten, pack them together, and pinch with your thumb and forefinger near the base.

  Without letting go of the pinch, use your free hand to cut them to the correct length. Now that you have them flat between your fingers in the right order, it should be pretty straightforward to slide them into the connector.

  Here’s the announcement from perthchat.org

  Also, “what you’re doing is real shitty, but we can’t really talk about human rights abuses without making ourselves look like hypocrites”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Premier condemns 'horrific' comments at pro-Palestinian Sydney Opera House rally⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I went to a talk by Israeli & Palestinian reps from PCFF earlier this year in Melbourne. It was heartbreaking, but also encouraging to see people trying to peacefully mend bridges and spreading awareness. Naive, maybe, but it’s good to know that some good came out of the atrocities.

  This attack by Hamas (and the Israeli response) would’ve undone decades of their effort. I can’t begin to imagine how devastating the latest events would be. It’s a sad day for humanity.

  Not Toyotas

  So you’re saying it’s meditation in sheep’s clothing?

  I read the title 10 times and was still confused until I saw your comment. And I’m not even dyslexic.

  Or am i…?
