I didn’t even think about the software costs. Makes sense. The whole “you don’t really own your games.”

Albino is only used as a term when it’s a deviation from the species norm usually. There are all white cave bugs.

Eh, you’re talking what, $1500 for a headset and rig? Even if you have 4 setups at one of those kiosks the cost to have someone running it is going to quickly outpace the cost of the hardware.

Specifically just anti-cheat that chooses not to support Linux at this point.

For the first point… kind of but not really. Having an account on a second small instance still gives you the backup, and if one of the two goes down you can create an account on another instance as a new backup.

For the defederation, nah. I like lemdro.id because they haven’t really defederated from anyone except for spam instances, and they’re small enough that no one has targeted them for defederation.

Two main reasons…

• As a backup in case your home instance goes down.
• If there are instances your home instance is defederated from and the other instance is not.

That’s about it.

I think there are two big reasons…

• During the big Reddit exodus, a lot of people were recommending lemmy.world.
• It’s a general purpose instance. People tend to flock to those rather than more specific topical instances.

Basically anything but make it with frozen vegetables, and vacuum seal your meat and put it in the freezer?

So these children are driven to work due to poverty right? So isn’t the answer to try to address that rather than to say “stop using cocoa harvested by child labor?” Like I’m totally pro-non-child-labor-cocoa, but wouldn’t the kids just get other jobs then?

Have you tried venturing more towards the metal side like…

• Lacuna Coil
• After Forever
• A Sound of Thunder (probably more rock)
• Arch Enemy
• Epica
• Unleash the Archers

As many others have said, the choice is not between antiperspirant and nothing. I use deodorant but no antiperspirant.

We have three. One in the kitchen, one in the master bedroom and one in the garage. We also have fire escape ladders in the two occupied bedrooms.

I had to use one recently as our trash can caught fire. We had some towels we had used to oil our griddle and they must have still been hot when we threw them away.

You can’t really test a fire extinguisher as it loses pressure when you discharge it.

I’m not sure unfortunately - Sonic Sage is a Plex feature and only Tidal has integration with Plex. It should theoretically be possible for one of the “playlist porting” tools like Soundiiz to make something similar because it’s just getting the list of songs from chatgpt and then adding them from your library or Tidal as available.

By combining it with Plex and Tidal, use Sonic Sage to create playlists.

I use Dr Squatch bar soap, and Old Spice Gentleman’s Blend deodorant.

Eh, kind of. It’s not nearly as customizable as Slacker was. With Slacker I could say I want mostly artists I have selected, but play some new artists, and play the deep cuts instead of the popular songs. You could ban artists from a station or add ones you liked to build it out. And, I think this is most important, all your likes/dislikes/whatever only applied to the current station. I’m tired of YouTube Music playing death metal when I play Blind Guardian radio just because I also listen to death metal.

It kind of lives on in Liveone, who bought Slacker, but their whole app is a mess and they have a very limited library compared to the other streaming services.

This was old Slacker Radio. You could create a station with any number of artists and then tweak it to discover new artists or just listen to ones you know.

This is why I switch to Tidal + Plex. It allows you to just maintain a library and listen to albums while keeping the algorithm recommendations out of the way.

What’s your goal? Weight loss? Build muscle? Have more stamina?

For weight loss, I would start with diet. I lost 60 pounds in four and a half months just calorie counting with no exercise - but it’s really hard to out-exercise a bad diet. Losing that weight made it easier for me to start exercising. I do a combination of hiking and running to try to keep things interesting. A “couch to 5k” type program is working well for me.
