Study finds anti-piracy messages backfire, especially for men
  • This as well. I will say even the time where i would normally spend watching shows on stuff like dailymotion primewire etc i know most just watch youtube channels

  • Study finds anti-piracy messages backfire, especially for men
  • I think its simply, at least for a while, the tech space was male dominated. And depending on the type of piracy, it requires an amount of tech skills

  • Update: Everyone said GameVault's UI was garbage, so we completely overhauled it.
  • So but would this be games thst you have installed? Or is this just like the individual install files?

  • Im a little confused on whats the usecase for this? It seems cool but im a bit confused when youd be hosting stuff in this way

  • L.A. deputy arrested for allegedly raping female inmate while on duty
  • It probably varies by jurisdiction, but my understanding is any type of sex with an inmate from a police officer is always considered rape because they cannot legally provide consent

  • Gen Z Is Leaving Dating Apps Behind
  • Yea those are good points. Ive heard some of the arguments about third space stuff. At this point in my life, many examples of third space places are completely uninteresting to me. But i have a full time job, a family, ect, so whether they were or were not available I dont think id utilize a third space. But i see their value

  • Gen Z Is Leaving Dating Apps Behind
  • Yep I agree. But i wish there was a better approach to how people give that advice. Like there is a point where you.have maintained good social circles, and its time to find people who are actively looking for partners in places where thats appropriate.

    Ive got friends who because they are already involved in many social groups and hobbies (but no potential dating options in those groups) are almost of the opinion that the only way they can meet someone is asking out their cute waitress or their cashier, which seems to oftentimes just kinda make someone whose just trying to work have to deal with an awkward social interaction. But to them theres something really tabboo or bad about pursuing dating apps or the like where they will be (in theory) talking to people who are there trying to find dates. Its just odd to me to go about it that way. Maybe just based off my own dating past, but I just cant imagine things evolving from just asking a random person out. And i know prople do that and it goes well. But also theres gotta be a better way to frame going to dating specific spaces that doesnt come off as cheesy and lame as I feel like it does tmost the time

  • Gen Z Is Leaving Dating Apps Behind
  • The biggest thing to ne is it can be misguided to join those types of groups when your in a position to be looking for a partner. In general, its great to be involved in activity/hobby groups, and if you find your partner there thats wonderful. But if you are joining just to find a partner, thats where things can get really disappointing and youre not exactly there for the right reason. At the time I was involved in more than enough hobby and activity groups, and didnt need to join more only for to be 'just there to meet women'. That is the element (in theory) thats good about dating apps. Im there to meet potential partners. Im not pretending to be interested in pottery just to meet a cute girl. Im on the app with a goal of meeting a partner, and want to talk to people who also want to meet a partner. Obviously people and app devs use dating apps for other purposes. But when you are busy with work, school, and have enough hobbies and activities, having something thats very straightforward about wanting to find a partner was a lot more direct way to find someone.

  • I always see his exact photo when i see this posted. Im pretty convinced that this isnt actually how kids are dressed, otherwise the photo would once in a while be changed up

  • Gen Z Is Leaving Dating Apps Behind
  • I met my wife through PoF, but this is exactly how Id describe dating apps. They are so designed to keep you checking the app constantly, pay for premium features and feel awful about yourself. In my situation it really was the only way I could meet anyone (was in my rotations of grad school, working 12 hour days), but the apps were like measurably depressing me

  • The Last of Us Part II Remastered - Announce Trailer | PS5 Games

  • [Question/Requrst] A way to temporarily filter or block news/political communities?
  • Not a bad idea, but the issue again is i now have two separate filter lists, so then i run into issues where communities i want filtered on both, arent filtered. So lets say i seutup what you said, then all the sudden 5 keeping up wih the Kardashians communities really take off. I would need to block them all on one, and remember all 5 and switch to the other filter list and do the same. I know this all may seem trivial, but thats a simple example. I can think of a few reasons why having interchangeable or combinable filterlists would be really useful

  • [Question] Best way to temporarily hide news and polirical stories?
  • Yea maybe thats what i should do is utilize my subscribe a bit wiser

  • [Question/Requrst] A way to temporarily filter or block news/political communities?
  • I guess the big thing is i want to do it on mass, like turn all the news on and off

  • Excluding the obvious ones such as politics, what topics can't you stand listening to people talk about?
  • This, but primarily when someone is confounded by the idea that im not into sports. Ive had this happen with a few things, but sports are one of the weireder ones. I mean to the point of them going, nah you like sports, then continuing ro go on a rant about sone game.like i know im into a lot of stuff others arent, but if they sont want to talk about it, thats perfectly fine

  • [Request] Read button

    I know theres sorta the ability to do this with swipe actions, but Id like the option to mark posts as read in the same line as the upvote/downvote/save/hide. It just would be a lot simpler especially when its things where from the title you can get the gist,.but you dont want to completely hide the article.

    [Question/Requrst] A way to temporarily filter or block news/political communities?

    In short, I want the ability to hide news and political stories temporarily, much like you might hide nsfw articles temporarily when at work. Id like to be able to maintain all my previously made filters and communities, and still be able to scroll through "all", but just temporarily hide the news and such, just to get a break from it.

    The only option i can think of is to make a second account that has those communities banned, but that wont keep my other filters synced, such as if I have blocked a new nsfw community on one account, it wont sync to the other. Id prefer it to stay on the one account. Currently I mainly broswe through Sync for Lemmy. If there was a feature to turn on a temporary filter list, much like hiding nsfw content temporarily, this would be great

    I'm sorry little one...
  • Did the exact same thing with the quest 2. Two weeks after getting mine they announced the quest 3. Had to wait a few months, but glad i did

  • Tolerating intolerance
  • Yep sorry for the oversight. Was using stomach moreso just referring to the digestive process, but you are certainly correct

  • Tolerating intolerance
  • This is the real difference.

    One is an allergy hypersensitivity that triggers the release of histamine that (in this scenario) closes the throat and causes the person to die.

    The other is a lack of an enzyme in the stomach to break down a specific component, so instead bacteria break it down. When they break it down, gas is released, which causes the stomach to be irritated.

    So one is your throat literally trying to kill you, vs your stomach being irritated (possibly very bad). Not downplaying lactose intolerance, but its not the same as a type 1 hypersensitivity

    Edit - as pointed out, most the stuff for lactose intolerance happens in the intestines not the stomach

    [Feature Request] Community Post Pinning for Mods

    Pretty much as the title says, the ability to pin or sticky pose on communities that I moderate would be really nice. At the moment I need to switch to the browser mode in order to pin or unpin posts but being able to do it straight through liftoff would be really good

    Any chance of a two panel mode or tablet mode?

    In the Reddit is fun app there is a really nice tablet mode that you could do that would pretty much have a half panel for scrolling through post another half that would have the post already open so you could scroll through post and have it be full size and two panels. Getting something similar would be really cool

    The Labyrinthine Library [16x16]

    This was a post that was a response to the weekly prompt from /c/Mapmaking . Here was the prompt:

    This Week’s Prompt: A sprawling, labyrinthine library in an ancient, arcane tower.

    Envision an arcane tower, nestled away from the prying eyes of the world. Within its lofty confines lies a labyrinthine library, stretching across floors and disappearing into shadowy corners. The air thrums with the silent whispers of countless tomes. What mysteries do these dusty pages hold? What encounters could one stumble upon in this maze of knowledge?

    Trying to work more with dungeon alchemist, trying to get better about getting maps that are usable fast as possible rather than getting stuck on nitty gritty details. Also just trying to learn how to use it more. The cinematic tool is pretty cool, I wish I could change the skybox up though.

    An Ancient Secret Garden [16x16]

    *Discover the enchantment of the forgotten Enchanted Oasis, a hidden gem within the crumbling walls of an ancient castle. Within its square borders, an overgrown garden reveals itself, once a vibrant display of cultivated beauty, now a sanctuary for wild plants and untamed flora. At the center, a fountain stands as a solitary sentinel, its waters long still, yet its intricate carvings still radiating the echoes of forgotten tales.

    As you explore the leafy corridors of this abandoned garden, listen closely to the whispers of the wind. What secrets lie dormant amidst the tangled foliage? The remnants of battles and encounters past linger in the air, waiting to be unraveled by those brave enough to venture forth.*

    This map was made in response to the Weekly Community Prompt over on /c/MapMaking. We do weekly mapmaking prompts over there, so come check it out!

    This was made using Dungeon Alchemist, which Im still getting used to. Its a drastically faster mapmaking tool, so trying to improve my skills with it so I can make maps faster on the fly.

    [KLWP Theme] Synth Vibes

    My semi minimalist background. The sidebar expands to actually show quite a few apps, I use a bunch of apps on a daily basis so I couldn't really settle with just five or six that most means have, so when it's expanded out I can see quite a bit of information it's a lot faster than looking through my app drawer which hasn't even more apps but aren't ones that I use on a daily basis. Similar to my previous post but changed up the background and have been updating a few of the apps recently.
