Thanks Velociraptor, I appreciate your encouragement. ❤️ I’ll post a follow up photo, sure 😊

Thanks for the tip on asking about post-care, distractedcactus! I’d have never thought of that on my own ❤️

Aw thanks alex 😊 I only hope the real thing looks as good! I already take decent enough care of my hair, shampoo and condition it a few times a week, de-tangle it with a wide toothed comb, let it air dry and then brush it with a boar bristle brush once it’s dried. I don’t know if that’ll be sufficient once it’s coloured though? ❤️

I’m American

Here we go.

so I don’t understand why the UK has a ‘Ministry of Truth’

Ofcom aren’t a ministry of truth, they’re not affiliated with the government in any way. They are an independent regulatory body. Surely as an American you’re familiar with your own FCC, yes? They serve the same function.

As for the content of the article itself, I agree that Ofcom should investigate. I don’t see the problem having clear lines between politicians and news anchors. I actually don’t think a politician should have any additional job or career that could cause a conflict of interest.

Edit: After perusing your comment history you’re clearly a homophobic, transphobic climate change denier who just loves posting in communities you disagree with to engage in bad faith arguments. Thus I want nothing more to do with you and have blocked you.

While the infographic certainly gets its point across I don’t understand why the author felt the need to use a slur in the name calling section. Feels very unnecessary when literally any insult would have worked like arsehole or even something simple like idiot or moron.

Edit: I’ve struck-through my ableist language as opposed to outright deleting it as to not try to deny any wrongdoing.

Thanks for correcting my poor behaviour. I’ve struck-through my ableist language as opposed to outright deleting it as to not try to deny any wrongdoing.

Setting up selfhosting without a terminal

Every single time I talk to my friends, whom also want an *arr/Plex/VPN/Home Assistant setup like I’ve got, I can see the fear in their eyes when I mention Debian, Docker, and the terminal. It could be a case of “git gud”, but I want to help them out with a setup like this, but with as low friction as possible. Ideally...

Fledgling community over at https://lemmy.ml/c/syncforlemmy too although it's not official.

There's a community over at https://lemmy.ml/c/syncforlemmy too but it's not official.

Edit: Official community modded by Ljdawson himself is: !syncforlemmy

I believe it's a bug in Lemmy itself that will be rectified in the next release. For now, like you say, just use 'New'.

What niche phone features would appeal to you?

I went through my late teens as the initial smart phone boom was happening. I had a Motorola q that could get TV channels and had a keyboard. I had the enV that flipped open. And many androids/blackberries that I loved for their unique form factor and functionality....

I miss the IR blaster. Being able to control my TV and other set-top boxes was amazing. Now that functionality has been replaced by each manufacturer having their own control app that needs an internet connection and all your information. Bring back the IR blaster!

Oh boy do I have the phone for you Margot. Check out the ASUS ROG Phone 7 Ultimate. It has a USB-C port on the bottom as you'd expect but also one on the side for when you're holding the phone horizontally but still want to charge.

I don't know if this is possible but it might be worthwhile removing accounts that were created during this influx after 7 days if they have no user activity (posts or comments). It then removes the possibility of your instance being used as an attack vector against other instances which would probably get it defederated quite quickly.

Obsidian dev comments on state of Avowed trailer at RPGCodex (rpgcodex.net)

Codex always gives a good, wild ride! This thread is bonkers but 100% warranted. The trailer fails to show much in its 2 minute run time. To clear up misconceptions though I'll say this, the game is big and open, it is unfair to compare it to OW (I think Feargus is trying to keep expectations down just in case), which I think it...

Astigma,
@Astigma@feddit.uk avatar

Is there any proof this guy is actually an obsidian dev? I don't just want to take his word for it. Especially when he says the game is still not in alpha when any game dev would know that traditionally an alpha is just any early stages of development upto when you start adding art or fleshing out the meat of the game. In alpha you are prototyping movement and gameplay mechanics in dev environments. Anything after that is beta. Only PR teams and consumers think of alpha and betas as basically a finished product that is ready to be tested and polished.

Ah ok, I've never been on Codex before so didn't realise they had mechanisms in place to verify such things. Thanks for pointing that out. Trusting that Codex have done their due dilligence then you're probably right that Obsidian are just one of those companies that uses pre-alpha/alpha differently.

With what the dev has said in that thread it makes me think their 2024 release date probably means an Autumn/Holiday release window rather than early-mid 2024 then.

The Ferengi's 34th rule of acquisition is: War is good for business. They themselves never waged war though, curiously.

Astigma,
@Astigma@feddit.uk avatar

Yeah same here, I'm much more curious about Valve's foray into BCIs. GabeN mentioned in an interview a few years ago that they're closer than we think and I want to know what he's cooking up.

Astigma, (edited )
@Astigma@feddit.uk avatar

The Ferengi have a military sure but its primary use is to protect their enterprises, not to wage war on other factions. Also who are you talking to that claimed the federation doesn't build warships? It certainly wasn't me.

Astigma,
@Astigma@feddit.uk avatar

I see where you're coming from. The Defiant-Class are definitely a purposefully designed "Warship" and the first Starfleet has made in a long time at that point. Yeah I concede the point. I look at a ship like the Galaxy-Class with its phaser arrays etc and I think warship but it was built and designed during a time of peace, Starfleet wouldn't have viewed it as a warship.

When i first heard Ubi were doing a more traditional AC game I was quite excited. However, after seeing the gameplay showcase I'm not totally sold on it. Basim's seemingly magic teleport ability really threw me off, I know past ACs had hints of magic with the Apple of Eden but that never affected gameplay. The parkour/freerunning also looks quite stilted and clunky. I'll keep an eye on it in the coming months but at the moment it's a wait for sale game for me.
