Hello, my name is Cris. :)
I like being nice to people on the internet and looking at cool art stuff
Yeah, I wish visiting a fedi site from an external link gave you a little button that said “select your instance” so you can switch when possible
Its definitely a ux issue that needs some care and attention. My android client at least tries to view the link from my current instance
I mean like lace up boots without the zipper on the side. Especially when its made of thick or stiff material I find it really hard to cinch the material tight around my feet, and the laces dig into my hands trying to pull them tight and hold the laces while I get the bow tied
Perhaps “proper” kind of conveys a judgment for shoes that aren’t lace up, I didn’t really think about it till now
Yeah, I can absolutely see that making it harder. Theyre fairly easy for me to throw on in general, but compared to lacing up proper boots theyre crazy convenient
I have a cheap shitty pair I that were originally from H&M that I found thrifting. The fake leather is disintegrating but I do like that style! They look nice, are comfy, and have been nice to slip on and off
Thats super cool!
Man if I ever get a smartwatch again this is where I’m headed. I love my little Casio’s though.
I hope they make a one or two more options aesthetically. I think their current design is a good design, but really not my personal taste. I’d love to see another option or two as time goes on if its financially feasible for them!
Its not astroturfing, it’s that people have expectations of them beyond just being a browser that let’s you access the web.
Frankly its not that great of a browser (its serviceable. And I use it, or a derivative, pretty much exclusively); generally the reason you use it is because you care about abstract things like not supporting the chromium monopoly, or wanting to pick the project managed with the most care for how it will impact actual humans
And Mozilla has been making kinda crummy choices with respects to those abstract values more and more regularly it feels like 😅
Like I really wanna love and support Mozilla. I’m using their browser cause I think its the best choice by the metrics that are important to me. And more and more I just feel kinda exhausted and kinda frustrated with them 😅
Wow. I watched some in the embeded tweet and that was uhhh… That was hot garbage…
Dont watch the tweet if you don’t want spoilers, there are important story beats included cause they’re scenes with a lot of emotion that the ai dub completely mangles
Highly recommend the show. Content warning for sexual abuse and exploitation though, its a central part of the story and the show is a very difficult watch
Happy threadiverse anniversary :)
And also Thanksgiving if you celebrate it ☺️
I use peertube.wtf and have had no issues if thats of help. There’s an artist on peertube who posts his music I’ll see if I can check what instance he’s on…
He’s on communitymedia.video :)
Hope either of these are helpful suggestions :)
I’m gonna second the reccomendation to just boot it from a flash drive and try it out. Virtualization takes a ton of performance and on lots of hardware isn’t going to be a nice experience compared to actually running it without virtualization
You don’t have to make the switch, but it’ll give you a much better sense of what you might like, without dealing with lag and input delay :)
For one of my friends its just cause she has a shitload going on and enough problems to deal with without trying to figure out a new way for her computer to work and whatnot
Plus I think art stuff she uses doesn’t support linux and she found krita unsuitable for how she likes to work
Yeah thats very fair. My impression is that Draynos hacks are usually not brutal, but there’s no version that doesn’t patch difficulty so if you like the challenges you either play with higher difficulty or you pick a different patch
I want more vanilla+, so I’m usually a tad bummed about that, but people regard his hacks really highly, even if theyre less what I’m looking for :)
I hope you find the right one for you! ☺️
Thanks for making this thread, I didn’t really realize it worked this way either!
When I’ve posted to lemmy from mastodon, you “@” the community, treating it like a user which is interesting. The underlying guts of the fediverse are fascinating lol
That sounds like absolute hell lol- best of luck my friend, may your patience last longer than mine would! ❤️
Hey, I was researching my options for gen 5 and found this very helpful thread (though I don’t know that it’s entirely complete):
and this option from the thread, which is compatible with following platinum if you wanted quality of life, plus your pokemon following you :) (frankly I really wish I had played this instead 😅)
https://www.pokecommunity.com/threads/platinumqol-now-compatible-with-following-platinum.465574/
and following platinum https://pokehacking.com/fangames/following-platinum/
I think I was mistaken that renegade is compatible with following platinum, here’s it’s page if you’re interested in something that makes more changes and adjusts the difficulty curve :)

Hello ☺️
it’s funny watching people downvote us for saying hello to each other lol
Honestly I largely did too, I pick my favorite designs from each gen and make a team with them, but it worked out okay! I considered chimecho but I mostly just adore chingling and it’s way too weak to battle with. I also considered using trash wormadan; steel and bug are my favorite types, but it’s not that compelling of a design, and it’s not very good 😅. I’d love to include it on a team someday though
The fact that you get locked into combat as soon as you step into the room with her (unlike all the elite four) nearly completely fucked me over, but fortunately I was able to stall and item spam all my Pokémon back to full health 😅
I tend to really like building teams that can beat stuff a lot stronger than me, so curse on spirit tomb, toxic on toxicroak, and gastrodon and bastiodon to wall did a lot of work 😅 I think I used curse to beat like three of her strongest Pokémon lol. Its such a dumb move, I love it so much.
It was definitely hard though, and item spam is kind of a cheesy way to beat stuff
As a long time linux user, antagonizing people who are unsure if the switch is right for them is very clearly a poor interpersonal choice that will not result in the change we wanna see in the world, or more people adopting linux
Fuckin seriously, we can do better than this circle jerk. As someone who cares deeply about software being kinder to people it pains me enormously how much of a dump stat interpersonal skills are for so much of the Foss community
If the authors wanna pat themselves for linux they can do it without creating a unempathetic, condescending, preachy culture that alienates people.
Just call the article “things we love about having switched to linux” so it finds the right audience and its fine, but this shit sucks and its exactly the kind of crap that has made so many of my friends resistant to hearing what I think is good and special about Foss software. They hear me out anyway, but I’d love for it to not be a fucking uphill battle because Foss people routinely emulate the same preachy, condescending, unempathetic interpersonal apprach that everyone bemoans about the worst vegan spaces online
