As someone who also bounced off Manuskript for similar reasons, I think this will be right up your alley. :)

Strange. I don't consistently use it myself (I'm more a Lemmy type person), but it always worked pretty okay in my testing. I tried it again just now, and I was able to respond to someone and visit my profile without issue. Perhaps there is an issue with your friendica instance? I did my testing on friendica.world.

I'm using the older 3.1 version from f-droid, so maybe there was a regression in the 4.0 release as well, if you're using that.

Regarding mobile apps, Raccoon for Friendica is a pretty polished and nice app, and it also works for mastodon accounts too.

Apparently Photoshop CC 2017 has a gold rating on winedb, so that could be viable if you are willing to sail the high seas and apply the tweaks for that app listing.

Otherwise I'd stick with Krita, and then GIMP if you find Krita lacking.

Kinda reminds me of Malone, an 80's action movie with Burt Reynolds about a White Nationalist buying up property in Oregon to facilitate his terrorist cells, but without the infiltration part.

Wait, is that an actual line from the show?

I feel like more people using smaller instances is a good thing, as it helps them become one of those desirable instances, and helps keep the Admins of those small instances motivated to maintain their instance (since they see their efforts being rewarded).

I do get that a bigger instance provides a smoother experience out of the box, but with Lemmy Federate and Lemmyverse search, I feel like it's easier to overcome a small instance limitation on lemmy compared to a small mastodon instance.

That's just my two cents though.

I went outside of my usual wheelhouse and tried playing some of the Wario games for the gameboy advance. Finished Warioware in one afternoon (very fun short little collection of mini games) and currently on Wario Land 4. It's a platformer with light puzzle elements, and I'm quite surprised at how much I've been enjoying it, as I usually don't mesh with platformers.

In a way, it reminds me of one of the later Commander Keen games, but with much better level design and variety in gameplay.

It's a polished and quirky little game, and its handheld roots lend itself to short sessions, which has been all I have time for.

I think I'll be investigating the earlier entries after I complete it. Certainly recommend it if you have access to a handheld emulator!

Yes.

Slugs for salt 2025!

The Mystic Crystal by Ninja Sex Party is a great story song.

Also most of TWRP has songs that tell stories, like Starlight Brigade or Black Swan

This is a debate as old as science fiction itself, back when, in an effort to legitimize the genre to the wider public, some sf magazines like Galaxy distanced themselves from they're contemporaries (the pulps) by only publishing hard sf 'big think' stories, and actively deriding space opera, with slogans like "You won't find any cowboys in our spaceships!'

I think at this point it's kinda silly to pick up that worn torch of 'pulp sf isn't sf' again. They're two different subgenres, and they both are excellent in their own way.

I for one like cowboys in my spaceships, ala Firefly, as well as the biggest think. And if they can combine them, all the better.

It's like a perk from Sid Meier's Civilization

Thief: The Dark Project.

It's everything I could ever want.

• Excellent story perfectly meshed with the gameplay.
• A strange high-technology medieval world.
• Incredible level design combined with realistic roughly drawn maps, forcing you to take in your surroundings and build your own map.
• Variety of gameplay, ranging from infiltrating a rich baron's mansion to rob them blind, to delving into ancient crypts filled with odd creatures and an alien culture for some adventurous tomb raiding, to some of the most terrifying pants filling survival horror I've yet encountered.

It is, in my opinion, perfection.

You may want to give Freetube a try, which may avoid that issue (especially if combined with libredirect).

A postal bank that uses GNU Taler would be pretty legit.

You're right, though I was first introduced to the story from the guy telling it at a TED talk. I phrased it poorly.

Wait! I found it! It was the same guy from the TED talk, but on a different podcast!

I managed to find what I was thinking of, but it concludes with a totally different line about them than I remembered. I think @neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com is right, and the "where does that end?" quote might be from a segment in a Robert Evans podcast.

All I can think of is a TED talk I saw where the speaker had given some presentation to a bunch of billionaires and had some q&a, and one of them who had built a bunker for themselves asked him how they could prevent their security team from turning on them in the bunker.

The TED talk guy responded "Be kind to them?"

And the Billionaire said "But where does that end?"

I'll try to find it so I can link it.

EDIT: Found it!
