redditor since 2008, hoping kbin/the Fediverse can entirely replace it.

Because the games that run on the Steam Deck are PC games, no emulation required. It's a joke.

The entire abstract is AI. Even without the explicit mention in one sentence, the rest of the text should've been rejected as nonspecific nonsense.

I literally haven't had ANY of those problems running Windows 10 or 11 FWIW, not have any of my friends or relatives.

I'm not anti-Linux or anything though, have used it for 26 years now, but only briefly on the desktop.

Ubuntu is just getting worse and worse. I was pretty happy running Ubuntu server for years after moving from Gentoo; I jag lost interest in spending time taking care for that server and wanted something easy.

I went to Debian half a year ago and it's been great. Should've done it earlier.

"climate change and other left wing topics"... I know that's basically how it works in some countries, but it's insane to consider certain scientific facts left wing, and we really shouldn't support such statements.

Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy (www.kbtx.com)

Had to supplement her $42,000 per year teacher salary with OF and made nearly $1 million in six months (almost 50 times as her salary) before the school caught wind of it and forced her to resign. Got a new job out of education and was fired five days later when they discovered news articles about her....

Most people need something to do. Being free all the time is rarely good for mental health.

You may disagree with her methods (as do I at times), but few (mostly climate change deniers) would disagree with her goals. She's spending her life trying to improve the future of the all humankind.

Yes, but 0.99999999999999999999 isn't 0.999... and therefore not 1, so it's still wrong.

As bad as Project 2025 looks I couldn't see anything about kicking out senators, "just" federal employees.
Any sources on the more extreme claims?

I think most replies are missing the main point OP is asking about.

The answer is yes, it matters. I started a run as Gale to learn the basics of the UI prior to starting playing. You learn an important (secret, to begin with) detail about Gale (a certain condition) as you as your exit the nautiloid.

On the other hand, playing as a custom character, he first told me about that 15 hours in, and even then only in very vague terms and refused to give more details when pressed.

So when you start as an origin characters, you really "are" that character. When they're just a companion, they'll keep secrets from you.

Threatening to sue doesn't sound like apologizing though.

It's very steep since tons of reddit apps were more like $2 for the pro version.
I can see how that's too low to be sustainable, but $25 is a lot more.

Actively, no, but I haven't dropped it 100%. I occasionally visit when I find links via Google, and check some discussions about a few current TV shows that are basically dead on Lemmy/kbin.

Just under an hour a week in total (according to ActivityWatch), down from hours per day.

This is graphics memory, not regular RAM.

"Antiwoke" magazin on kbin.social posting bullshit like "how to end Wokeness" and "Time to reject the extrem trans lobby harming our society" How to report ? he is the moderator of that magazin. (calckey.social)

@ernest how do I report a Magazin on kbin.social ? There is a usere called "ps" who is posting to his own "antiwoke" Magazin on kbin.social. Please remove this and dont give them a chance to etablish them self on kbin.social. When I report his stuff it will go to him because he is the moderator of the magazin? Seems like a...

Please look up the facts. Doctors don't "cut off sex organs" or do ANY other physical changes to trans children.

the tu quoque is almost too tempting here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

We can't be tolerant of people who are intolerant towards e.g. LGBT people; it doesn't work out in the end.

It was "just" a bunch of clients in one though, AFAIK it couldn't connect people from different protocols.
Pidgin still exists; I used it probably 20 years back on Linux.

Yet another article that (knowingly or not) frames it as "people don't want to pay for the API":

Reddit charging for access to its API is also about more than just third-party clients, Bruckman says. A move like this has angered so many people on Reddit because it feels like a betrayal of the community’s trust.

No mention that several third-party app creators are fine with paying for API access, as long as they can build a business model around the pricing.

Indeed, pretty cool!

First thing I noticed though is that I'd really like to know which instance a thread is actually on.

For example, this post:

Going back to Reddit feels bad (kbin.social)
polygon, 2 hours ago to chat

... is actually on chat@beehaw.org, even though it says "kbin.social" and just "chat" below. Pretty confusing.

EDIT:
There's at least one fix for this in the meantime -- get this userscript:
