Absolute safest is a wipe but just powering off the phone means they won’t be able to access anything without a PIN (protected by the 5th amendment). There’s no laws against turning your phone off.

I played a lot of OW1, moved on a little before the launch of 2, and just watched it crash and burn from afar… Maybe one day I’ll give Blizzard another chance, but I doubt Activision will let that happen.

I mean, it seems like you found it, but if Lemmy isn’t your speed, perhaps set up an RSS reader like Feeder and get your doom piped straight in from the source.

ETA: I’ve got Feeder set up with ~50 sources ranging from general news to science, tech, environment, and FOSS news, and blogs from organizations I support. I’ve got several hours worth of scrolling (more if I stop to digest more articles) loaded in fresh every day. Thousands of articles in the backlog… I’ll get caught up…

The article does a good job breaking it down, but a short example is if you want to post about technology, you have to choose one of those communities to post to.

You can cross post or repost in the other communities but then any discussion gets fragmented, people see the same thing multiple times in their feed, only engage with one, and likely not the same one as somebody else.

On the other hand only posting in one community could significantly reduce engagement if you choose poorly.

Honestly, aside from the cereal joke this is mostly factual reporting from The Onion. Almost feels out of place

Claim: Affordability is a hoax perpetrated by Democrats.

False: Democrats would never run on a salient issue.

Wait, so am I reading correctly from the wiki page the only app that supports merging crosspost comments is Interstellar, which also doesn’t support crossposting?

Proposed solution 3: Communities following communities

The ability for communities to “subscribe” to other communities is an idea that comes from this Github comment. This is, in my opinion, the best proposed solution by far. Community a can follow community b, making posts from b also appear on a.

What this means is that community moderators can choose to have posts from other communities to show up on theirs. That means if all the pancake communities are following each other, I can post on pancake@a.com and it would show up on the other pancake communities as well, and the comments would simply be grouped into just one post!

The main proposed solution doesn’t force merging on anyone. Mods can decide whether or not they want content from other communities to show up in their space. No two news instances have to merge if they serve different audiences.

It isn’t explicitly called out in the proposal but I could easily see there being an option for mods to unlink individual posts from other communities if they get too spicy.

Came to say the US would never offer free postage to begin with, but was surprised to find out I was wrong! https://about.usps.com/publications/pub347/pub347_v03_revision_102015.htm

I give it a week before someone from the current administration takes note and tries to follow suit.

This is the one and only use for ChatGPT - a polite fuck you to whoever thought a 50-4000 character limit was appropriate for a yes/no question.

I work in a creative industry for a pretty large business, with limited exception really nobody is using AI except maybe to send lazy email responses. If there’s workers getting replaced by slop it’s not where I’m at.

It just really hasn’t shown much ability to not fuck up. People dip their toe in occasionally to show upper upper management we’re leveraging “all the tools available to us”, but I’ve never seen it used for anything more substantial than a mood board.

Been floated since at least 2002.

Could even melt an ice palace, endangering the lives of James Bond and Halle Barry in the process (don’t worry, they’ll be fine, they’ve got hefty plot armor).

It’s the same “people” who always seem to be “saying” what he’s thinking at any given moment.

And I could care less about a headphone jack (I’m an Android user and I’d say Apple’s USB-C DAC is better than 99% of cheap built-in phone DACs - change my mind) but since we’re making requests I’ll take a phone that’s <5.5" please!

To answer part of your question: Cyberpunk is a pretty good game for just wandering around aimlessly, but because of the balance, from my recollection, you can’t really just steal planes and blow everything up. You can make some fun builds to tear through enemies, and the world is gorgeous to drive around in, but there are some limits on your ability to cause total mass destruction.

Steam was the first major storefront to refuse to carry Horses, a first-person psychological horror adventure about “the burden of familial trauma and puritan values, the dynamics of totalitarian power, and the ethics of personal responsibility” set on a ranch where nude human beings in horse masks are treated as livestock.

Publisher Santa Ragione said in November that Valve declined to carry Horses because it contained “content that appears, in our judgment, to depict sexual conduct involving a minor.” Santa Ragione disputed that characterization, but an appeal was rejected and the ban stands.

Seems like it’s treading a very fine line…

Yet another reason to use and support open fonts.

Idk how many fonts are typically in a game but at $20k a pop, I suspect you could hire your own designer or collaborate with a few other small studios to design a few open game fonts.

You’re assuming that whatever they’re talking to is capable of giving only good advice with awareness and consideration of their living situation.

Sex education is beneficial if done well, but there is zero evidence suggesting AI can do anything well.

I’m gonna go with Kaepora Gaebora, the owl from OOT.

Would you like me to repeat that? Yes…

Gonna go with the wildcard here and suggest Walkscape. It’s still in beta, so access requires a one-time patron sub ($4.50, then cancel) or a free written application through their portal (may take like a week to approve)

It’s a classic runescape-style RPG where all actions cost “steps” walking. It’s designed to keep screen time to a minimum and walking time to a maximum.

Character management is generally pretty passive and 1-handed. Definitely much more casual by nature, but encourages much more active participation.
