As far as I can tell, .world is great for the reddit emigres. There have been disagreements amd drama (as is tradition with online communities especially federated ones) but the instance is doing fine it seems.
I don't know about this API blackout. I am talking about something else entirely. When Reddit migration was at its peak, registrations on this instance (lemmy.ml). The reason given was that the devs did not want to overwhelm themselves with the abruptly increased administrative and moderation responsibilities. At that time, Lemmy (the software) was facing significant performance issues as well, owing to the fact that that many users had not used Lemmy concurrently before that.
On the other hand, I tried to find the announcement post for this. (I remember one existing.) But I couldn't. Have I hallicinated an elaborate scenario? I am not sure. Will try to look again.
lemmy.ml shut down registration during the migration of sweaty reddit nerds.
I tried one distro and now the other distros confuse and scare me.
Not justifiable but one can weave some twisted logic to explain it. With single player games there is even less explanation.
I see that you still have not been able to recover from your brief exposure to world systems theory.
What's wrong with ground news?
For a live service game like Helldivers you could at least logically justify the account requirement but for an offline game like GoW it will just piss people.
Why doesn't the app just let you enter the credentials in a settings page or something like that?
I like the Tarnished Archeology theory that there was a war between Leyndell and Mt. Gelmir and that Messmer fought on the side of Mt. Gelmir/Serpent god and as such was ostracised from Erdtree side. His throne is missing from the Morgott arena and he has snakes about him as well.
But I don't see any other lore slingers validating this theory so I am unsure. It would be cool nonetheless .
What about Apple? From my limited knowledge their ecosystem is even more locked down than Android's.
Can you help me towards some starting points in the book where he explains this? Here are some digital copies of the book in case you don't have one at hand: http://libgen.is/search.php?req=the+road+to+unfreedom&lg_topic=libgen&open=0&view=simple&res=25&phrase=1&column=def
The invading Russian forces have basically failed their first goal; to fully take over Ukraine.
Has Russia ever stated that this was their goal?
Culturally Russia sees itself as outside the rest of the world. At the very minimum, an equal to historical empires of Europe or Asia, but part of neither. It sees the USA as an ethnic mongrel with no culture or history, and hates the US power it projects globally.
I was wondering if you could provide something to back this up since these are rather sweeping claims.
The only thing I can think of that comes close is Dugin's writings but I have never seen anything that could suggest that his ideas are widely accepted or adopted as the state's doctrines.
Margit, the Fell Omen
What a ridiculously difficult boss. I currently have a full melee build and I had to use every cheese in the book to beat him.
Elden Ring reviews are absolutely nuts
OpenCritic and MetaCritic both have ridiculously high aggregate scores for it. Early reviews tend to generally be higher but an average 97 score from 95 critics is probably the best I have ever seen.
I am reading that it is easier to get into compared to other From Software titles. When playing the network test I didn't get this feeling. But either way I highly recommend giving the game a try if you haven't played a Souls game before. It is an entirely new story and the lore from what I am hearing is very rich. And the gameplay is tight as always. If you don't want to buy you can even pirate it once it has been released provided your PC can run it. I don't think it is using Denuvo.

Content creators have been playing the full build of the game for a while now and the embargo for it just ended
There will be a lot of spoilers for it on YouTube. So if you are someone that cares about that, be careful.

New gameplay footage from Game Informer
Not watching it myself. But wanted to share if anyone else is interested: Link to video
Promotional PS4 and PS5 box art
Says game size is 60GB for PS4 and 80GB for PS5 respectively. Feels good man. Personally I am disappointed the game isn't 300GB of content but I will live.
The recently discovered RCE in Dark Souls 3 only affects PC according to Lance McDonald
The remote code execution exploit which has caused all Dark Souls game servers to be taken offline for PC players is in fact not possible to leverage on the PlayStation 4 version of Dark Souls 3. It's safe to assume it will also not be possible on console versions of Elden Ring.
He says:
> The RCE exploit recently leveraged publicly in Dark Souls 3 is not able to be leveraged on PlayStation 4, 5, or Xbox consoles. Neither will the console versions of Elden Ring be able to be exploited. There is no vector to either trigger it or to gain elevated remote privileges.
Some people have been exhibiting paranoia that the exploit could mean more delays. I was already skeptical of such fears but this news from Lance is another good sign that the game will release on time.

Welcome to Elden Ring
In case anyone is interested in this game, I created a subcommunity to discuss the game with fellow lemurs.
A question about the Great (American) Resignation
I see this being mentioned a bit in American media. I understand why this can happen. Capital does not want to pay living wages to the working people and workers do not want to work for pennies. There is no such thing as labour shortage, only capital not willing to pay.
But if people are just walking away from jobs, how are they affording subsistence? I have seen restaurants being closed because they don't have workers. So it is not only people who can afford savings who are quitting.
I can't phrase the question very well but the bottom line is this: I don't understand. So any insight you might want to share is welcome.
Conversations: High battery usage after joining a group chat
Hello.
When I use Conversations for communicating with my family (all for us are using a public server right now), the battery usage is very low and reasonable. But after joining a group (specifically Prosody's group so I can ask question there), the battery usage becomes very high (about 20% of the battery is consumed by Conversations according to Android's metrics).
Is there anything I can do about this? I was thinking if I can join the group on desktop but not my phone, it would be ideal. But this information gets synced across devices. So I end up joining the group and then leaving when I am done.
Any suggestions for this?
Thoughts on Bitwarden?
I personally use passwordstore.org with a git repo on a personal VPS. But I wanted to set up a password manager for my boomer parents and looks like Bitwarden is one of the better options out there.
The problem is that the free tier sounds a bit too good to be true so I am worried that it might just disappear or discontinue one day. Any idea if this fear is unfounded or not?
If you have been using Bitwarden please share your experience with it. Would like to hear.
Nitter is one of my favorite projects
- Twitter website for mobile sucks donkey balls. Sometimes it doesn't load at all until I refresh.
- Nitter is significantly faster than Twitter website.
- Looks great.
- No ads.
- Free software. Nonfree JavaScript for playing encrypted videos is disabled by default.
- Can be self hosted.
Nitter truly is an oasis in the desert of shit that is Twitter's website.
Which file manager do you use?
I use one called X-Plore. It's actually very good. Even has a WiFi server, conpressed archive support, etc. but the downsides are that it's close sourced and some features are behind a paywall (though IMO they are worth it).
So I was thinking of moving to some free or open source software. Any recommendations?
