I exclusively use a VPN with everything and have done so for years. If steam has an issue, they have yet to inform me lol.

On a serious note tho, there is an issue if you use a VPN to access store prices for a country outside your own. Regional pricing means that some people game the system and Valve rightfully cares about that.

Yep. If you check them out via a browser you'll see an option to view on mobile.

Nope. Nazis may make me seem reasonable by comparison. While I like seeming reasonable, I don't want to thank fucking nazis for it. Same logic.

I once had a high school science teacher tell us that trail mix was a homogeneous mixture because there was an equal amount of each ingredient. He was ridiculously incorrect of course but that stuck with me lol.

When you buy a house, closets are just there. You could take the doors off, I suppose, but closets are just a thing. As for the void under the bed, that is a feature and not a bug. Yes, it may allow for a fear of what's under the bed. It's also an inherent defense against the actual bugs on the floor that would otherwise crawl up the child's bed.

Basically, the answer isn't to change the standard child's bedroom but to instead work around it. Take the doors off the closet if it scares them. Check under the bed every night and maybe put their "bravest" stuffed animals under there for protection. But rooms are rooms. Blocking off a closet and putting the kid's mattress on the floor is not the answer lol.

Ok, yeah, that would be pretty amazing as a distinction. Posts manually hidden stay hidden unless unhidden and posts already read just kept temporarily out of the way. Where do we submit such specific feedback? Someone mentioned a GitHub to me. Is there a GitHub for Sync for Lemmy?

Oh, I understand now. No, it doesn't seem so. You can comment on communities hosted on other federated instances of course, but I'm not seeing a way to view another instance's local feed.

Edit: looks like that feature is available on Liftoff tho.

The moment I found out that that court is answerable to no one, I lost any faith in it. How many "Who watches the Watchmen?" scenarios do we have to go thru before it becomes apparent that an actual system of checks and balances is always necessary?

You're not alone. I'd love it if we were just missing an obvious button but I don't think it's a feature yet. Maybe someone better informed will correct us lol.

This is actually great for me. I hated how cluttered my "hidden posts" were in other apps. I personally like the idea of hiding posts in the moment and resetting when refreshing.

Comment on communities hosted on other federated instances, yes. Comment on a sidebar, not that I'm aware of. I don't think that's a thing.

In Voyager, it's just another 3 dot option.

For an instance, not a community.

For an instance, not a community.

Downvotes is another feature I desperately want on Sync. It's my main reason for having Voyager installed.

Of course. And while I don't have the specific statistic for HP tattoo removal, I wouldn't think its rate of removal would fall too far away percentage wise from the overall rate of tattoo removal.

Oh sure as an adult I can see that. But I'm not going to deprive myself of nostalgia simply because times have progressed. Sometimes I like to enjoy my childhood again and put on a movie or show or book from when I was young that may not hold up now. As a grown up, I can enjoy it with nuance. But you make a good point and that's why HP isn't a bedtime story for my kid lol.

Considering the statistics for tattoo removal in general when compared to the rate of gender de-transitions, I'd be genuinely flabbergasted if this post wasn't true.

For me personally, I don't have an issue separating Rowling from HP. IMO, she retconned herself out of the HP universe the day she tried to make wizards shitting themselves canon.

Man, when I watched the first episode of the reboot with my kid and Josh called Steve and Joe and Steve talked to us, like the grown ups that watched him when we were little. I teared up. No shame.

Drop Dead Gorgeous

It is regularly quoted and watched in my household.
