On the other hand, every person who has killed a United Healthcare CEO has played Among US, checkmate.

The rules only cover viral marketing when they're not already paying off reddit.

That sounds just like 90% of the doctors I've talked to in my life.

I would think so too, but looks like average golfing handicaps do still differ pretty dramatically between the genders. Golf is a very male dominated sport and I feel like that might be a major factor, but the numbers we've collected thus far do point to a difference. Not a big golfer, but the only thing I can think of is maybe driving hit range but, I wouldn't think that could be responsible for the difference alone.

Musk is the type of guy who thinks the key roadblock in any problem is that he isn't in charge. It's harder to be in charge of Earth than it is to be in charge of Mars.

Probably a big number, but also probably not that many in terms of user count when compared to the overall count.

I don't think we have good data on reddit, but a lot of fairly smart people have been trying to figure that out with twitter/x. Key you have to remember is that the average user only consumes content, they don't contribute in any fashion. So, you can have 10 or so bot accounts being more visible than 10,000 'active' users and still be posting things at a rate that would seem reasonable for an average human. They'll just come across as a highly engaged user until someone looks closer.

Ecstasy of gold is this one, Metallica played this too with the San Francisco Orchestra and it was as epic as you'd imagine:

One we're looking for today though is this one (the main theme):

Doesn't quite have that same riff, but some of the musical themes were reused in 'The Trio' which finished up the movie:

Admittedly, it's hard to find a song based on someone just writing out the sounds they think it makes and I feel like any Ennio Morricone score really should be thought of as a singular piece in harmony with the movie itself. This was one of his best, one of those movies where the dialogue could be optional, sometimes you didn't even need to open your eyes to understand what was going on.

From a statistics standpoint, definitely not.

As of Q4 of 2023, reddit claimed 36.4 million logged-in 'daily active' users. An increase from Q3 of 2023 with a count of 34.7 million. Not sure of the accuracy of user counts for lemmy, but good estimate is about 450,000 total users over it's entire lifespan, if every single one of those was a reddit convert, we'd still be a minor blip. I don't know if we have 2024 numbers that are comparable, but most stats indicate that reddit is likely still growing.

Spez predicted what would happen in that protest with almost 100% accuracy and most mods involved didn't follow through and backed down. Some are trying to build something new and that's worth pursuing but we lost that fight.

Yeah, like seriously, how are they pricing those lego bricks?

The appeal is pretty easy. You can collect items from any fandom you can think of and have the style of the figures match each other almost perfectly and look 'natural' together. The style chosen has a lot of detractors, but even some that don't necessarily appreciate it are willing to compromise if it lets them make a little action scene of thor fighting vegeta.

That's me, I'm the one who compromised.

It's definitely a stretch, but she's not completely unqualified... I'm not saying she's a good pick either, but she did at least serve on the board of education for Connecticut for about a year.

Mostly continuing the theme of Trump picking random ass people he knows and throwing them wherever it fits, but this isn't likely to be the worst one.

It is very obvious this studio does not know what they are doing and has learned little from their previous releases and from other contemporary games.

I think they've learned that they don't have to care about that to be successful. We have to keep reminding ourselves that success by these studios does not have to be defined by 'making a good game'. Starfield was a great success financially and there's no reason they should change gears from that perspective.

Starfield has made around $700 million.

This doesn't work because no matter how many potions you have, you have to save them for when you really need them. Then, you end up finishing the game having never touched any of them.

I don't care what anyone says about you, you're awesome my friend.

It sounds like you're getting into the keeping it running phase.

First, going back to your previous comment, self-hosting email is difficult. It's not hard for a small provider to end up blacklisted and you're probably kind of just done at that point and it will feel very unfair. I get that it's a fun set of technical challenges, but you couldn't pay me enough to help someone self-host email.

Second, guessing, but it sounds like you may be trying to expose your services directly and doing a lot to make that work which goes against what most would recommend for hosting your own services. Big companies don't expose their intranet like that, follow their example. Almost every guide or system is going to warn against that. If you're going to host more than one thing, highly recommend focusing on minimizing entry points and looking into a VPN-like solution for accessing most if not all of your services. Still spend time on securing your intranet, but most of your risk is going to come from how hard it is for people to get past the front door (or doors).

We already have that, the first problem is we have like a dozen of them, a few are even well supported. The second problem is that usually the technical knowledge required to set up the systems are still lower than the technical knowledge required to keep it running.

My friend, if you don't think that's scummy then I think you're a little bit too acclimated to marketing scams.

Fucking podman... Oh man. I have lost way too many hours dealing with podman.

It's frustrating, because they've put so much into it. It's close enough that vendors think they can get away with saying their containers are compatible and they've probably really honestly tested for brief periods and it really usually is close enough that you don't discover the differences until you're already very well established, but then it's just a little different and it takes you FOREVER to find out why but then the only option once you do find that out is to completely start over from scratch with docker. And, almost no vendor is going to treat them differently because if we talk to redhat, the first note we'll get back is that everything we're trying to do should be fully compatible and there should be no need to worry about that. And, then eventually after a few weeks, it's docker's fault that IT WORKS IN DOCKER AND NOT IN PODMAN. Docker needs to go fix it so it's broken for them too, it's not a bug for podman, the problem is with the one that's working.

I'm a bit traumatized, not always the same, but this isn't a singular occurrence.

I'll thank them when they stop remaking perfectly fine utilities over minor issues then doing a shitty job with compatibility.

Romney is not exactly a good dude, but he might be closer to the Democrats than modern Republicans at this point.
