Lot of military coups lately.

Odd. Are they down again maybe? At least there's other backup communities for a lot of their topics lol.
It's a very insidious way to make the country more like Russia, where there's so much propaganda there is no objective truth, words have no meaning, and rule of law of even more nebulous.
Nice! What terrain grid do you use?
Maybe it's my VPN provider then. I'll have to try it with another one. I've followed so many of those documents. Do you use Port Forwarding with PrivadoVPN?
Reddit has definitely had cultural significance. That's why AMAs used to happen there so often and it was in the news for months after the Boston Bomber. It's like 4chan in that it seems super niche but it pops up every now and then in the cultural zeitgeist, sometimes for bad reasons like The Donald leading the charge for a Trump presidency and sometimes for good reasons like the niche hobby subs.
Yup. I was up for it until that point. That bullet is a terrible idea.
I've noticed the same thing and it certainly has helped me skip Reddit more. The front page is 50% or more are validation parts from pretty people on rate me, am i ugly, roast me, outfits, weddings, etc. There are still fun drama threads for people like me who like those, like AITA or TIFU, but a lot of them seem somehow faker and more bot-filled than before.
Same. If I want advice on a product, there's generally an old Reddit thread about it. But for actual discussions or news, Lemmy has been perfectly fine.
I've spent all today and yesterday trying to get this working with PureVPN and QBitTorrent and it hasn't been working much at all 😭. It's been painfully slow when it works at all, which has been rare. Although it has been doing the job of hiding the Docker container IP so that's good, and it makes me think it's something minor, like port forwarding not working because of PureVPN or something off with my settings, or it's a qBittorrent issue, or Docker and Linux inexperience.
Admittedly troubleshooting has been slow because I'm super new to Linux and Docker and keep running into permission and file system issues. Running the VPN and torrent straight in my computer was way easier, but I'd really love to be able to run Plex and a torrent client on the same computer on at the same time with Plex not going through the VPN and the torrent client going through it, which is what this seems great for.
Seriously, I was about to say that tracks with politicians everywhere, from the ones dealing with climate change in the US to the ones trying to undo encryption in Europe. I'd be more surprised if politicians ever did base their decisions on science.
It's already been hurting them a lot it sounds like. I don't think Baldur's Gate is the first game to not release on Xbox because they couldn't achieve system parity with the S. If they've really softened on it, then that's a good idea. Better late than never.
