Buying any game after 3-5 years is the way to go. The bugs are fixed, patches are out, so mods are stable and most of the time you can find a sale where it costs 10-20€. And if you forget about it before that time, that means the game was not worth it

At least you didn't get thrown through the window, as in the meme comic ;)

I agree that this is important news but what does it have to do with technology?

Adguard DNS is nice but sometimes you need to let some app pass. I've switched to blokada. Sadly they've pulled the app from f-droid but version 5 is available on github

Witkacy would be proud

It still relies on government infrastructure. If a government really wants, it can tell its CERT to block some IP range and probably protocols too. If you can block for example torrent at university campus, you can also block it on a country level.

I remember hearing around the time of Occupy Wall Street about a guy that wanted to create a fully civil network. Everyone wanting to be a part of it would set up a wi-fi node in their home. It seems the idea did not get traction, though

It probably does unless you have some adblock and cookie deleter in the browser you are using. AndroidWebView is a browser too.

Also, in the topic, check out The Power of Habit. From the description it doesn't look like it, but the second half neatly shows that there are many ways to spy on you from even before smartphones existed and easier than reading your screen or recording conversations

managing finance with either friends or spouse

I guess more info might be helpful. I like ihatemoney but although it has date option, I am not sure how well it works for continuous management

In 5-10 years time these will be "recommended system requirements"

Data transfer speeds can be understood as the speed of transferring files via the port but it is a broader term. It's how much data can be sent through at once. For a keyboard and mice it probably doesn't matter. For a printer, external sound card or external drive it does

AFAIK USB3 allows to pass more current than USB2. Whether you would observe a difference or not depends on the device on the other side of the cable, but there's no harm in being able to pass more than the device needs. You might need to plug in something more power hungry in the future

Get a docking station with ports at least the same version as your current ones (or better for the future), so you don't loose the capabilities.
You could also use an USB hub instead, so you wear out the ports in the hub, not in laptop. In such case, get one with option for external power. When you connect a lot of stuff, current from the laptop port might not be enough to power all the devices

USB A/B/C only names the physical form of the port. What you need to look at when it comes to power is USB 1/2/3.
There is a weak connection between the connector type and USB generation but it's rather customary than strictly defined

Awareness is the first step. It will take time for people to incentivize production of clean food

Behold! The power of open source!

Librera is great. A few pros:

• half page display (to read one column at the time, a common layout in RPG rulebooks for example)
• bookmarks
• dark mode (pictures look funny but makes black-text-on-white into white-text-on-black)
• tags and library management
• autoscroll (I didn't think I would like it until I tried)
• for ebooks you can set your own color schemes (if you prefer yellow text on gray background for example)

I'm using Forecastie and Weather Widget. Both use openweathermap but via its public API, so only need internet access and your location

I've found this. Personally I would not say the difference is worth having another name, maybe for the sake of differentiating between the ratios.

But it seems that indeed 4K is not 2160p 🤷

people developing this game must have been put through

I'm Out Of The Loop, could you please expand on what you refer to? You mean this?

hugging face is open source

I think it is not. The models, clients, etc are open-source but the hosting backend itself doesn't have to be.
Similar to GiHub - a lot of open source projects are there, but you need enterprise license to host your own instance

I'm afraid that is simply how communities work on Mastodon. This way the comments can be propagated in threads, without using tags.

I don't know which client are you using but in fedilab I see option "hide boosts from @news@lemmy.world" in the three dots menu, after I started watching the account. Maybe that could be your solution?

No need to apologize, we just exchanged observations :)

And it's possible that what I see is anecdotal due to some skill-niche or something

When I work from the office I have already commuted in the morning. Wherever they want to meet I have straightforward, short commute and am dressed. Just get up and go. And when there is someone willing to go out of the house, there is smaller possibility that we'll end up on discord where only one person can speak and there's no way to have more than one topic in the group at the time

When I work from home everything becomes bleak. You have to get dressed, commute will take longer and have more changes and you start wondering if there's a point in going out (in case of for example concerts or exhibitions instead of meeting with friends). Everything stops having a point somehow. I am no longer part of the city, I'm just another body inside four walls
