I tried Medias Touch for an episode of three in early/middle of last year and it just didn't do it for me. Have they changed the format/content much?

For my political / news related, I tend to do Tangle and Breaking Points with a small smattering of It Could Happen Here. How does their current presentation style compare to that?

Don't want to say where I'm at, but we don't really have possums in my area :/

We get lots of bunny visitors at my place as well, but I noticed a couple have crazy big ticks around their ears. Luckily we haven't gotten any in the house or anything, but has def made me less "pro-bunny" lately.

Heads up, there's now a Remind Me bot for Lemmy nowadays.

Example syntax: remindme@lemmy.icyserver.eu 4years 2d 3 mins and 2 seconds "Your Reminder"`

Yeah, most of my knowledge on "Chinese" is from when i tried to learn Korean. Korean still lean on some Chinese characters (hanja?). Not for like "daily" reading/writing, but like, I remember newspaper articles would sometimes have the headlines in Chinese characters. They, of course, would use their Korean pronunciations, but there was no way to tell what that was from the character (unlike the rest of the Korean writing system, which uses an almost completely consistent phonetic alphabet).

I heard schools have largely moved away from Phonics, which is wild to me. That's basically how reading was taught going back to at least medieval monks.

I hear they're using a "look and see" method or something? Word is that its how the Chinese teach their students to read....but they don't have an alphabet, so I don't know how that's supposed to work in English.

I have a relative who just retired from teaching and she says its a real mess in early education because of how badly this reading teaching method works, and its only worsening as students mature.

But you, like, use machines, right?? /s

Just shitty 4chan slang.

Primary usage I've seen for it is sPoOpY sKeLeToNs.

I was about to RAGE.

Then I saw the publisher. Good one guys.

DF scales threats on wealth.

Yes, that is a thing in RW, but wasn't the thing I was referring to.

Eventually you will start seeing high tech weapons (don't think you can build them yourself?), and so on the melee side, that's the likes of the Zeushammer, monosword, and plasmasword. I think plasmaswords are the strongest for raw damage, but they also set the target on fire like 50% of the time.

If that happens in the middle of the enclosed portions of your base, you can see why that'd be a problem. Also shows why fire poppers are important.

Very nice writeup. Don't have the time to fully read, but did a quick skim. Def saved for later reference though.

You sound like you might have the latest news on the 30% tax credit. Do you know how much longer that'll be a thing/what you'd need to do now to get it?

So recently had a hankering for some Pokémon hacks so booted up my old Pokémon Storm Silver ROM (using retroarch with Desmume as emulator).

I spun up a new game and played a bit, but it wouldn't let me save a new game since the ROM had my old save data. I decided to just save the game state with the built in retro arch save state functionality. So beat the champion using save states as alternative save feature with 60 hours on game clock (probably MUCH less due to my abuse of ffw feature).

But when you beat the champion, it dumps you back to the title screen. From there, I can only load my old data (since my current play isn't properly saved in the game data). As such, I can't play any of the post elite four content.

Anyone aware of a workaround where I can erase the games data from a save state? Kinda feels like I'm just SOL.

If I am, let this stand as a warning to other Pokémon fans. Always take the time to clear your old data!

Just recently took the leap to Graphene OS from stock android.

One problem I'm having is getting my apps and keeping them updated. Obviously I've been trying to use F-Droid, Accrescent, and the Grapheme provided app store where I can, but work and friends require me to have apps not available there.

I've been using Aurora Store for everything else, but it seems really buggy (tons of instances where apps won't update, will need ~3 tries to properly install, will notify me there was an error when the app clearly installed, etc). Additionally, I saw somewhere that Aurora store has some privacy/security issues (but didn't dive deeper to see what was meant by that).

I've read Obtanium is another option, but it looks like that still will not meet all my needs.

I suppose I should also say that I'm hesitant to use the Play Store / Play Services at all. I get there's sandboxing around them that makes them less invasive, but I don't full grasp how Graphene accomplishes that / what specifically it prevents.

What are you guys using for your App Stores? Should I just put aside my concerns and trust the sandboxed Play Store?

Appreciate your attention and consideration on this!

 

I'm a tech interested guy. I've touched SQL once or twice, but wasn't able to really make sense of it. That combined with not having a practical use leaves SQL as largely a black box in my mind (though I am somewhat familiar with technical concepts in databasing).

With that, I keep seeing [pic related] as proof that Elon Musk doesn't understand SQL.

Can someone give me a technical explanation for how one would come to that conclusion? I'd love if you could pass technical documentation for that.

 

I've heard Reddit is setting themselves up for another major fumble and that it relates to how much Spez is a fanboy of Elon Musk.

I can't find any details on the drama playing out though. Can someone explain the details of what's going on?

I would love to see Lemmy grow with another big "Rexxit" event, but I'm not seeing anything happening to cause one.

Was feeling frisky and decided to attempt to get the Doom Slayer achievement (Defeat the final boss with all demon spawners alive and Badder Bosses challenge enabled).

Been attempting it for a week or so and rarely make it past the 1st boss (I've gotten too used to fighting normal bosses - these challenge bosses keep hanging me up).

Mis-fired a caustic potion at Yog while one of the fists was still up. If I hadn't wasted that potion, I'm pretty sure I would've won this fight.

First time actually making it to the final boss fight with Badder Bosses on, so I feel really accomplished to have made it this close.

Edit:

A week and half a dozen tries later, finally made it!
And with TWO challenges on (ran with Swarm Intelligence on as well).
(Please ignore how much of a one trick pony I am)
