Sure, sure, water doesn't prevent fall damage, but a well placed hay pile and a properly executed dive will...

Lotrproject - Timeline

If you go by Gandalf's age as a Maia in general, he'd be as old as the world. So, roughly 10,000 years, if you don't account for the fact that the Years of the Lamps and the Years of the Trees were longer than a standard year.

If you go by when he showed up in Middle-Earth as Gandalf the Grey in year 1000 of the Third Age he'd be 2018 at the time he confirms Bilbo's ring is the One and confronts Frodo about it in year 3018 of the Third Age.

Gandalf The Grey would have been 2019 years old when he was mutually slain by Durin's Bane after falling from the bridge in Khazad-Dum.

Gandalf The White then first appeared a few months later and would be only two years old at the time he sails west with Frodo, Bilbo, Galadriel, and Elrond.

Not to be a buzzkill, but lemmy.world has a rule against posting links (even obfuscated links) to pirate sites. You may want to edit that post to at least remove the TLD.

Changing the default settings wouldn't mean changing any individual user's settings. It would mean changing the default settings you get the first time you login. Which the user could then change to their preference.

If you have a bunch of elderly/non-savvy people who are using your server, being able to change the default settings to something sensible for that set of users would be a good feature to have.

I imagine he means being able to set the default view for everyone accessing your server from the settings on your server. So that everyone who accesses your server gets those defaults that they can then change for their user if they desire.

Which would be a nice feature.

I think that's Batman Forever. Batman & Robin is the one with Arnold Schwarzenegger as a very punny Mr. Freeze.

It's arguably one of the best movies ever made.

!Arguable in the sense that the statement is likely to cause an argument not that there is an argument to defend the statement.!<

Currently, that is the case. Update 7 was supposed to have mod support for consoles as well, but that got delayed to a future patch. It's coming though.

He didn’t use encrypted everything. He had a public telegram group chat in which he stored a lot of his material. Which, as many people in the comments on the article pointed out, is not encrypted, but is presented by telegram as if it is. That’s likely how they caught him.

It looks like it’s based on a story from the histories of middle-earth about the founding of Helm’s Deep.

They probably take a lot of creative liberties with the story, but it’s at least not entirely original.

Does "retro" have an official definition? Because I have hard time believing that that any game launched this millennium is retro.
