Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and savior, the Microsoft App Store, and his enlightened prophet, Candy Crush Saga?

What do you think about the game overall so far? My girlfriend loves AC, especially Origins and Odyssey, but was pretty disappointed in Valhalla and kind of meh about Mirage.

And those Windows evangelists! Don’t we all know 'em with their strong opinions about operating systems? *shakes fist at cloud*

This comment has such a “Wanted to do X for a laugh? We had a tool for that, it’s called Y” energy, and I think that’s hilarious.

Ja, hallo, kann ich Ihnen helfen?

You could try baobab instead.

No downvotes from me. I cycle every day, it’s my only mode of transportation, and the number of poorly adjusted lights on other people’s bikes is staggering.

Came across this post for the second time now. Didn’t get it at first but then read in the newspaper that Democrats apparently decided to fight Trump by showing these signs and… wearing pink? That’s just pathetic.

Slightly OT, but how did you like the game?

I think Lemmy needs a higher-level sign-up procedure that hides the complexity of the fediverse. This could be a webpage with a simple, clutter-free interface that handles picking and registering on an instance from a curated list semi-automatically, for example, by asking you 3-4 questions before giving you a suggested server that fits your responses (which you can change) and a button to register there. The procedure could also handle the occasional additional sign-up requirements that some instances have.

IMHO, 90% of users will never interact with the “federation” aspects of Lemmy after that, and they also don’t need to. I personally don’t feel like Lemmy being federated has much of an impact on my user experience day to day.

Civ games at launch are often a bit of a mixed bag, and the games improve over time with patches and expansions. That being said, the game isn’t even fully out yet, and early Steam reviews are notoriously unreliable and undifferentiated. For your first civ game, maybe look at earlier titles like Civ 5 or 6. They have aged very well, I still play 6 all the time.

Ah yes, the famed document <-> JSON converter.

I can recommend the one I have but have no experience beyond that. It’s a MeacoDry ABC 12l, which I bought because it was small and quiet and didn’t draw too much power. I use it in the bathroom and to dry laundry, so we can trap and remove the moisture in one room and keep the other rooms dry. In the bathroom, it takes about 2-3h to dry it out. Laundry takes about 8-10h to fully dry. The device works through condensation of the air passing through it, so it works best in small rooms that are not too cold. So far, I’m very happy with it. The only thing I miss is an air filter, which some of the bigger models have.

I bought a dehumidifier to save on heating without risking mold last winter. Emptying the water compartment is super satisfying, and I’m still amazed by how much water this thing pulls that would otherwise seep into my wallpapers and such.

I recently switched from 1 January 1900 to 1 January 2000. It feels good to be young again.

Sure, although those are still different things, and people won’t receive a diagnosis just because they’re more sensitive to matters of justice.

I completely agree with you that the stigma around psychological disorders (“disorder bad”) isn’t justified. Especially people with conditions like autism or ADHD often just experience the world differently and in ways that would sometimes be beneficial if everyone saw it that way.

The term “disorder” does a poor job at conveying that these conditions often result from peoples’ inability to function in “normal” society, which is not caused by them being “bad” but rather by society making it difficult for them to function as well as they could.

What disorder are you referring to? I tried to look this up, and justice sensitivity just seems to be a personality characteristic. There are also lots of websites talking about its link to ADHD and autism, but AFAIK it’s not a symptom of either.
