  • jtx Board ?

    Labels are called "Categories" and can be added per-task

    Has lots of filters, categories are one of many ways to filter

    Looks nice to me :shrug:

  • Just a regular statue, but it's on a hinged platform so it can be a tourist attraction where you can line up to tear it down (and it resets for the next person).

    It's a free attraction, but there is a donation box with the proceeds going to help those whose lives were upended or destroyed by his regime.

  • Musk has already proven he can buy a national election. ... If he is successful at buying 50 state elections

    Wisconsin is his test run of that as we speak.

  • I don't think that's all of it, but you're not wrong. Part of it is supply shortage (whether it's truly real or partially artificial), but there's definitely an aspect of "this is toilet paper all over again".

  • I had that game, and I really liked it but only after I stopped comparing it to Goldeneye and played it for what it was. The multiplayer mode wasn't great, but was still fun. For the most part, I just treated it like a single-player game and we'd always switch to Goldeneye for PvP until Perfect Dark came out.

    The one thing I absolutely loved about multiplayer in this game, though, was the sticky grenade. I was such a bastard with those (they stick to the enemies / other players). I'd always play as M in multiplayer (I thought, incorrectly, she was the Oddjob of this game in case you were wondering exactly how much of a bastard I am when playing PvP). Friends would see a little old lady run by, think I didn't see them, and boom: stickied.

    Edit: I've been watching the "Let's Play" of TWINE for the last 2 hours. If you're interested...

  • Yeah, I mean to say Dimension and typed Precision. My bad.

  • I had an Optipex from that era too. It was "horizontal" but could also stand vertically. It was the business model.

    This one, but beige:

    The image is the Precision Dimension model which was the consumer version of it.

  • I'm exactly that old.

    Edit: The PC in the image is a bit anachronistic. This is the workhorse we're all thinking of:

  • Quantum immortality postulates that when you "die" in one universe, your consciousness continues in another. (in a nutshell)

    What it doesn't specify is that your consciousness can ever go back to an earlier point in time (that you remember, anyway)

    Alcohol is great for nostalgia (e.g. "Hey, daytime whiskey, wanna meet my record collection?").

  • Is there EV support?

    Looks like it, yeah:

    The UI still shows Fuel, but it seems like you can enter the kWh and it should calculate. Maybe plug some values into the demo to be sure. If you do, let us know!

  • I don't see why not. I haven't stood it up yet, but I've played with the demo. It does have a section for parts/repairs/upgrades.

    Give the demo a try, and let us know.

  • Yeah, building a simpler version of something like that was on my ever-growing "to do" list but came across this today. Probably going to deploy it this evening or maybe this weekend (whichever day it's supposed to rain lol).

  • If you step back and think about it, so much of human society revolves around people wearing the right costume for the occasion.

    Sometimes it makes sense (protective gear, etc) other times it just seems like "that's what we've always worn for X [occasion | profession | etc]."

    How does removing your hat imply respect? What is the purpose for standing up when the judge enters the courtroom? Just a bunch of stupid rituals that may have made sense at one time that we keep doing for...reasons.

  • Nope. Just ZZ Top and "sharp" being easily replaced with "shark".

  • That's pretty much how I buy my phones: Look at the LineageOS device list, find the newest ones I can find/afford.

  • We're not a general purpose instance, we have a defined mission statement, and the site info clearly states the rules apply to local and federated accounts. 🤷‍♂️ And the ban syncs are no longer needed as later versions of Lemmy server do the same thing automatically (our automod just implemented something almost identical prior to Lemmy adding that natively).

  • If you are hosting a Lemmy instance, I suggest requiring new accounts to provide an email address and pass a captcha

    Those are easy to bypass (or a human can spin up a bunch with throwaway emails and plug them into bots). I recommend enabling registration applications. While not foolproof, it gives the admins eyes on every new account. Also, consider denying any application that uses a throwaway email service.

  • All while the environment and electrical grid weeps.

  • I refuse to reward the "Create problem, sell solution" business model these tech companies are employing lol.

  • Books @lemmy.ml

    Just say "yes" to books, kids.

    A few questions about how browse.feddit.de works/updates
