Might be fiddler

We absolutely do care about community.

You can say that all you want, but actions speak louder than words.

Because we are not lemmy based, so our development takes time (plus my developer left, plus we were trying to move to sublinks which itself has federation issues). So federation for us is not a config setting.

You launched what you apparently considered to be your MVP, and it’s a one-way leech of fediverse user content.

The fact that you were willing to launch without federation in place signals, at least to me, that you care far less about community participation than you do about the content the community produces.

Additionally, different admins feel different rules are fair, so it is hard for us to know how to be good community members.

Welcome to the fediverse, where every software stack works a little differently, and every server has its own rules.

I request a common set of rules, preferably based on traffic, so any newbie can get the breathing room to develop and participate. Does that sound fair?

You’re asking for someone to give you a set of common rules across all instances? For unpaid users and/or volunteer admins to spend their time compiling this information just to provide it to you?

No, actually. To me that doesn’t sound fair at all.

I haven’t watched it in years, and I don’t really remember enough about it to comment on the details.

But in case you’re not aware of it, they did a remake in the mid '90s, starring Harry Anderson. Obviously it’s like 30 years old now, so not modern/contemporary from today’s point of view.

But if you haven’t seen it, it might be worth a watch just for the fun of being able to compare/contrast.

I’ve been around the block a few times, so maybe I’m just jaded.

My take is that it’s a proprietary platform, siphoning user data/content to redisplay and monetize.

Additionally, my gut feeling is that they don’t care about the community at all, and are just trying to leverage it to make money. They want to be the next reddit, and think the fediverse is their ticket. And I don’t think anything I’ve seen so far indicates otherwise.

We block Threads, and I think we should block this, too, immediately. If, in the future, the situation changes and they actually “give and take” rather than just “take” , then it should be simple enough to refederate.

My 2c.

I’m not personally a fan of jalapenos, but pineapple and banana pepper is also a really good combo for sweet/tangy.

I’m sure there are better sources, but this was the first thing that popped up in a quick search.

At least they don’t have herpes.

+1 for taking stop the bleed.

Also, regarding inclusive training, I’ll plug The Liberal Gun Club . They have chapters around the country and are a lovely alternative to your typical NRA-card-carrying firearms instructor.

I’m just wrapping up my first playthrough of Fallout 3. I’m not “done” but I finished the main storyline and am starting to lose steam with side quests and DLC. So I may wind up putting it down soon.

But I really enjoyed it. I’ll probably play something else for a while, then give New Vegas a try.

I haven’t played it, but my wife thought it was too difficult, also.

However, I was talking to a coworker and he mentioned that one of the DLCs really ramped up the difficulty, so she should try it without that particular DLC (sorry, I don’t recall which one).

Anyway, she turned off that DLC and found it much more playable. In fact, I’m pretty sure she went on to finish it.

So if you’re keen to give it another go, you might try it without whichever DLC it is that makes it harder.

Debian is on a roughly 2 year release cycle, and typically has a 6 month (-ish) freeze leading up to the release. So software in the stable release will generally be somewhere between 6 months and 2 years out of date. (My math might be a bit off but hopefully you get the idea).

Ultimately, it comes down to how you use your system, and what you need/want from your software. What you consider to be “the things that matter” will really be the deciding factor here. Need the occasional newer version of an application or library? It’s probably fine. Need the latest, greatest desktop environment? You may want to pass.

There are a number of ways to install newer versions. Backports, if it has what you want, is the easiest and safest.

There are other ways as well, but depending on what method you choose and what software it is, you may need to be careful not to break something. (I’d recommend not adding random third-party deb repositories for this reason).

Flatpak seems reasonable, but I haven’t used it much (once or twice I think). I typically use backports, or occasionally do my own local backports from sid.

Snap and AppImage are also possibilities. I don’t use snap, and I think I installed something proprietary by AppImage exactly once.

If it’s not in Debian at all, then I need to handle that a bit differently. But to me that’s a different issue than the ‘old version’ issue that Debian is often derided for.

Anecdotally, I’ve been daily-driving Debian stable (including for gaming) for over 20 years, and it suits my needs well. But of course, YMMV.

Yes! I think this is still one of my favorite games of all time. And it definitely has a Lovecraftian feel to it.

Oatmeal chocolate chip, when you can find them, are awesome.

My wife got a sleep headband with Bluetooth from some random Chinese company on Amazon. So far she’s been pretty happy with it, though she’s mostly a back sleeper. She says when she sleeps on her side, sometimes the headphone part bothers her and sometimes it doesn’t. So YMMV. If you want the exact brand I can ask her, though I expect most of the brands are selling the same thing.

Look up some of the Japanese lore about Tanuki (the Japanese name for the raccoon dog). It involves magic, giant scrotums, and all sorts of delightful stuff.

If you like anime, Studio Ghibli (famous for a lot of classics including Princess Mononoke, Spirited Away, and others) did a movie called Pom Poko, which is about tanuki. If you don’t care for subtitles, the English dub is pretty good, and the voice cast stars a lot of well known (for the time) American actors.

You’re obviously not a golfer.

GPL3 has a clause specifically to deal with this situation [1]

13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License. Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single combined work, and to convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work, but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License, section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the combination as such.

So you can use GPL3 code in AGPL projects. The GPL3 portion of the code will still be licensed under GPL3, but the network interaction clause of the AGPL3 will apply to the project as a whole, including the GPL3 parts.

If you go into the game’s preferences in steam, you can modify the launch command to enable logging:

PROTON_LOG=1 %command%

Then when you launch the game it should put a log file in your home dir. That will hopefully give a clue as to what the problem is.
