Lol at your history, short as it is. Hunter Biden shit and defending Elon.

Yeah. DC has some very pretty metro stations. NYC has SO MANY stops in Manhattan it was silly when visiting.

That link linked to /modcoord at perhaps dozens of moderators promised to leave, which is far more impactful than users. I know just from watching kbin, lemmy and other sites grow from this summer on that hundreds to thousands likely left reddit. Unfortunately it’s probably a drop in the bucket but Web 2.0 was always probably going to win. The only real way I can see of us getting out of that en masse if when each site inevitably kills themselves through mismanagement.

I actually used to rely on that, using site:reddit.com for most searches. Reddit had some of the best in-depth discussion and tech advice I could find. Compared to the multitudes of blogs, YT videos, and decades-old forum posts that normally came up, reddit usually provided useful info. And it’s pretty much the only reason I’m ever on the site now: the only results for some searches are on reddit.

Eventually if the quality of the posts decline, their SEO presence probably will as well. But google has been absolute dogshit for about a year now so who knows what that field will look like in another year. =/

Ever since earlier this year I’ve had WAY more friends, family and news articles I’ve seen mention or link to reddit than the past. I don’t know if it’s confirmation bias since I left reddit or if it just gained popularity at the same time or what. But I used reddit for ~12 years and few other people in my circle used it heavily. Now it seems like it exploded?

I more meant if you require companies to send you goods to review for your business to work, then you can’t be impartial.

Why is it hard? At least to get an approximation since you can’t measure everywhere.

We know temperatures of the mantle and both cores. We know their size. We can ignore the crust as a rounding error. This approximation will improve as our measurements get better.

Untrustworthy. Real reviewers buy the product. If you are reliant on companies to send you product to review then you cannot be impartial.

Kbin knows the article is totally fucked and just trying to insert a little bit of brightness to combat the existential dread.

Good AI.

For defense? No. For extermination? Also no but it makes it more deniable.

I do not see that option under the Dropbox settings.

That… Sounds exactly like how every smart asshole describes themselves. Don’t know anything about Linus, just basing that off your description.

Bayonetta is my only exception for this. Because she’s got guns in them heels. Also because her character clearly wants them.

Fun fact: bg3 added dick physics.

That said, I’ll usually always play a male character in a Souls title, because [insert valid reason for inconsistency here.]

I often do this when I want the character to mesh with the build. If I’m playing a character with a great shield and giant hammer, I’ll want a big beefy character that is often easier to create in game as a male body. And when I play a quick assassin, I often pick female. It’s like the opposite of how anime weapons work.

FYI: as someone I think would like incongruent in girl mode, I went as Dr Frankenfurter (creation scene, was cold) for Halloween this year and went all out: full makeup, fishnets, shaved legs, 4" platform heels, etc. It was very fun and could be a good entry into what you might want to do. Also: you can always dress up at home just for yourself.

I play in 2 games and run 1. As a player I play both characters who share my gender and one that doesn’t. At the table I run there’s a guy who plays a woman, and used to be another.

It’s never caused issues or confusion. So for anyone interested in playing like this, feel free to do so! For pronouns I’ve also found success in referring to characters instead of players with names unless explicitly talking to the player, but that’s easier as a GM.

I don’t relate with masculine characters at all. No idea why as I don’t identify as a woman. I have very little association or ownership of my gender.

Also character creators traditionally don’t have a ton of options beyond the binary. Hair, pronoun options tend to be most of the extent.

Also feminine bodies tend to be more interesting. More curves and interesting shapes while a lot of masculine bodies are rendered as blocky.

To pull this off, the Raspberry Pi is programmed to act as a router. Any lookups that are associated with Google’s push service are redirected to a nonexistent IP and blocked from reaching your phone. When the mailbox door is opened and you place a phone inside, an ESP-32 is activated which sends a notification to the Pi that it’s okay to allow push notifications through.

I’m not well versed in networking, but this reads to me as it blocks and sends all notifications to the void and then while in the box the Pi allows new ones through.

The question then is do push notifications need an ACK and if they fail to receive one do they try again? I know cell carriers can tell when you’re out of connection and can delay notifications and packets until you reconnect but this is slightly different.

With how this routes push notifications to an invalid IP, will they be resent or are they lost? When you put your phone is the box will you get all your missed notifications or just ones coming in while it’s in the box?

Also your guests will think their phone is broken or your Wi-Fi is down.
