Yeah that's act ii. If you just got there you're probably near the beginning though technically it's possible to do a bunch of other stuff first. In any case, you shouldn't find it too difficult to jump back in - just check your journal to see which quests you have in progress. And if you're considering going back to game it's definitely worth it - the story really ramps up over acts 2 & 3.

You love to see it

Wise might work for you. They're a UK company I believe. Not totally sure if they're 1:1 on features with PayPal as I hardly ever use PP but they probably can do pretty much the same things. In my experience the service is very good and also very cost effective, at least when it comes to transferring money overseas.

Just a note about the solar panels: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-musk-tesla-puerto-rico-renewable-energy_n_5ca51e99e4b082d775dfec35

Musk has promised a lot of things publically over the years but for the most part it's all part of curating his image as a genius philanthropist, and the reality has almost never matched the promises.

For example, his promise up donate ventilators to help with COVID (which he himself had said at the start of the pandemic would be over in a couple of months) that ended up being not the expensive ventilators that were needed, but much cheaper CPAP machines that are fairly useless for dealing with COVID unless they're extensively modified. Oh, and then a couple of years later he accused ventilator use of killing a bunch of COVID patients and said he could've told doctors that would happen because he "builds life support systems for spaceships". Then why donate them in the first place?

There's been many other examples over the years but the point is the guy has didn't his entire career moulding the public's opinion of him, long enough I think that he began to believe his own publicity. Now he's let the mask slip enough that there's no putting it back on.

This is from the guy whose rocket company is being investigated by the EPA for polluting local water sources and destroying the habitat of endangered species.

As a dual Australian and Canadian citizen, good. Fuck Gina Rinehart and fuck Danielle Smith.

It's been a long time since OnePlus could claim to be a budget brand. That ship sailed a long time ago.

Ok it's fake, never mind.

Did he really just openly plagiarise Dril's second best known tweet?

"...while vowing economic opportunity as a path to reconciliation."

I'm guessing this means making deals with first nations groups to grant corporations the right to strip mine natural resources without federal oversight while paying relatively tiny subsidies to indigenous owners.

Been running it for about 6 months now with no issues apart from a weird display issue when I go full screen in YouTube in Firefox on one display and the other display goes all white except for a couple of glitchy flickery areas, but I think that's more Wayland/plasma 6 related.

I will say that I've worked with the Linux command line for years now so I may be slightly more technically capable with it in general than a complete newbie but I think most other people here on Lemmy have a similar level of experience as me.

The Guys podcast has a pretty fun episode about this.

Oh, that's cool then. I'll have to go back and take a look as I hardly use the app.

I guess if the new company fucks it up (which lets face it, is a given) at least you get to keep the music you've already bought which is more than you can say for Spotify.

I like what Bandcamp does, but I don't necessarily want to have to download every song/album I buy off there and store it on my phone, or open the app and manually select a song or album one at a time to listen to.

I wish there was a way to build playlists, or even a full featured streaming service similar to what Spotify offers that would pay artists a respectable cut for streaming but not necessarily purchasing albums.

It would be nice to have that option but I suppose there's probably arguments against it, I'm not really that familiar with all the pros and cons from the artists' perspective. Even just a song radio type option like Spotify has would be great, because I do find a fair bit of new music that way.

Also, in case people aren't aware, Spotify was sold to Epic games a few years ago, and they sold it on to a music licensing company who then laid off 16% of Bandcamp's employees. So I'm not sure how much longer it's going to be a good place for indie musicians.I guess we'll see though.

Elon Musk and a board of directors that are controlled by Elon Musk.

There's been some discussion over the years that Tesla never seriously tried to make the battery swap work, that they did it to claim subsidies from California which they subsequently never returned to the taxpayers.

Oh, yeah I think you're right. I think I might've changed it at some point.

Just checked and it's under system > gestures > press and hold power button

I also have a pixel 6 and holding down power also works, though you have to wait a second. Power and volume up is instant.

If I've been repeatedly rerunning commands via ctrl-r'ing back through my history, I'll start getting careless and more than i should have I've accidentally hit enter twice on the wrong command without pausing to double check first. Sometimes to less than desirable effect...

What a fucking terrible name
