1·1 year agoI have a bad sense of direction IRL but an excellent sense of direction in games. I don’t think it necessarily transfers. I love open world games.

The IARC ruling […] is intended to assess whether something is a potential hazard or not [… and] does not take into account how much of a product a person can safely consume.
From the article. ^^^
This is something people frequently overlook. A substance may be a “possible carcinogen” and also completely benign at levels any sane person would consume.
Bananas also contain carcinogenic material, but eating bananas is still very much a healthy thing to do. There’s a reason banana equivalent dose is a concept, and “the dose makes the poison” is a common refrain in toxicology.
Elden Ring again after taking a break from it for a while. Exploring new areas, it’s fun.
I prefer to airpop it in the microwave and then spritz EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) on afterwards. EVOO is delicious, and unrefined oils like EVOO retain more flavor if you don’t heat them.
2·1 year agoThe only parts of this video that are relevant to piracy are: 1) does it prevent your ISP from seeing your traffic (it does), and 2) can you trust a VPN when they say they have a “no logging” policy (depends on the VPN but IMO there are several that can be trusted). The rest is just debunking false marketing claims about how VPNs improve your security or whatever.
I cook Jamie Oliver’s “basic tarka dhal” all the time. It doesn’t take that much time in my experience, and being a basic recipe it lends itself to lots of variations. Highly recommend.

1·1 year agoIt really is. And now I’m excited to see how Rick & Morty does it.
I look at it from the standpoint of federated social media dethroning the reigning social media “monopolies”. Companies like Facebook, Twitter, and now Reddit have shown that they want engagement at all costs and will prioritize profit over people. The faster they die, the better.
From this perspective, numbers and growth are important (although of course they’re not everything): People won’t jump ship to a new platform unless there is a critical mass of users, because a platform needs a sufficient number of users to provide the same variety of user generated content and communities that people have come to expect.
More people using federated social media also means more developers, better apps, and a better user experience for everyone using it.
There’s a snowball effect, and maybe one day we’ll get out from under our rich social media overlords.

1·1 year agoAgreed. Gaming has become a lot more acceptable over time and with younger generations. This is also true for the gender gap in gamers, which factors into the dating scene.
At the end of the day arguments for or against a particular solution are going to depend on what threats a person considers most important to protect against and where they’re willing to put their trust.
1·1 year agoThis is epic level malicious compliance. Best way to run a SFW sub into the ground is opening it up to NSFW content.
It’s not just fentanyl. I remember a lot of news about the “opioid epidemic” before fentanyl was a story.
2·1 year agoI’m subbed to 19 communities. It’s not a lot, so there’s not a lot going on in my Subscribed feed and I’m still using the All feed most of the time.
Captchas aside, with a VPN your traffic is mixed with others, making it much harder to trace back to you (assuming the VPN provider has a no-log policy and can be trusted). With Linode, isn’t that not the case since you’re setting up a VPS for just yourself, and therefore a greater risk?
I like Mullvad. They were recently subject to a search warrant and customer data was not compromised due to their no-logging policy.
You could also take a look at TorrentFreak’s list. They don’t recommend services, but instead ask them a series of questions to understand how seriously they take privacy and what policies and safeguards they have in place.
TOTK performance on switch is not bad at all. I don’t know where what perception came from. I haven’t experienced any low frame rate issues after 100 hours.
