Unless you're in Idaho or Georgia. And technically in California you have to register as a "researcher". Many sites won't ship to CA, other sites basically just say "it's your responsibility to follow applicable laws".

Either way, ideally you wouldn't have to rely on loopholes to seek care.

Kena: Bridge of spirits.

It's such a gorgeous game and I loved playing it. But the fight scenes would drop frames so badly that I couldn't finish the game because of one boss battle that requires solid timing to win.

Look at Fiio. They're a Chinese company that makes pretty good quality mp3 players. They have some expensive models but also a few for less than a hundred bucks. I've owned two of them now and love them.

You can just drag and drop files onto a microSD card and then the player will recognize that new files have been added. It's super simple to manage and no iTunes or other software required.

Edit: The M5 and M3 pro both use a proprietary OS. The M6 is android based so you can also load Spotify/YT music/tidal/etc. These models are all touchscreen. If you want one more old school without the touch screen, they're m3k model is still on aliexpress. And they used to have models with scroll wheels (I dont remember the model number) that I'm sure you could find used on ebay or something.

Oh that's wild. Its very intresting to see that in 1903 they hadn't settled on "electro-" as the prefix used to things with electricity.

I think it depends on the community. For entertainment stuff like videos, anime, memes, etc. I'd prefer a bunch of smaller ones. But hobby type communities, where you aren't only looking at newest posts, I'd rather one big organized community.

For instance, if I want to buy some new headphones then is would be a pain to have to look through 6 different instances for a stickied reccomendation thread.

yeah. i think the other problem is that people don't know if the instance would be good performance wise. i.e. i joined lemmy.ml because it was the one i found first.

A good way to handle it would be to have an instance list. with number of users vs maximum users. like joining a server in a video game. if i see its super full, i'll pick another server. of course, we'd need some large banners to make sure people know they won't be missing out on other instances.

Yeah. It's gonna be a rough first couple months. App development needs to catch up. Server support needs to catch up. Many subs need to figure out how to move over their communities. I'm tempted to start making communities and just copy-pasting the side bars and pinned threads, but Im not a mod for anything, so it feels like it'd be plagiarism.

There were 3 things going for Reddit, content wise: memes, news, hobby subs. It was a 50/50 if my Google search included reddit or Wikipedia. If reddit threw up a banner every 6 months and asked for a donation, I'd gladly throw 20 bucks their way. Reddit should have been a non-profit.

Going public was the absolute worse decision they ever made.
