This is crazy, I imagine they're never seen a Sikh boy then? In my part of the world I've seen several faith based schools that made exemptions to hair dress code stuff for Sikh students. The Sikh religion, if I understand correctly, means they don't make any modifications to their body, including hair. What's the difference here? Why make such a big deal of this?

Simple Text Editor

FOSS text editor for when you just literally wanna write something down without any weird bloat and without having to deal with Google. Available on F-Droid.

Also, OpenBoard for a FOSS keyboard with swipe typing. Also available on F-Droid

You know what, I think F-Droid is actually my hidden gem app. I'm sure most Lemmy users use it, but I don't think I know anyone else IRL who does, so hidden gem might not be accurate depending on perspective.

I honestly didn't know they had a games division

A lot of Podcast creators I wish were independent. I listen to a lot of former How Stuff Works network podcasts, but they were bought up by I Heart Radio and I just hate the constant throwing to random ads. At least they still are able to say whatever they want it seems, as evidenced by Behind The Bastards, but yeah, wonder what going independent would even look like for them

Malaysia is fun for this. Just asking for tea (teh) will get you a hot sweet milk tea, if you want no milk you ask for "teh-O". If you want no milk AND no sugar you ask for a " teh-O kosong", kosong basically meaning empty. Then of course there are the ice variants like "teh-O ais kosong". So basically the default is getting everything except ice, then you add modifiers to take things out.

But tea language strangeness aside, Malaysian teh-tarik (pulled tea) is amazing and should get more global attention. Even the preparation can be quite a show and there are local competitions.

Yes, been loving BG3 but my best experiences with games in recent years have all been indie, from Outer Wilds that made me completely rethink what a game experience is meant to be, to Vampire Survivors that tickled all the right parts of my brain into making me spend hours watching pixels flash on screen in the most mind-numbingly addictive way. Indie devs really seem to be carrying forward the soul of gaming that larger gaming companies have lost, the exceptions being so rare that Baldur's Gate 3 is getting lauded for basically meeting what would have been normal expectations for a AA title in the early 2000's

I think it's like, when you have a horrible breakup and you keep wanting to hear about the horrible things happening in your ex's life that justifies you leaving them and/or gives you some sweet schadenfreude.

They did come up with a good one over at sh.itjust.works

Yeah, since I've joined lemmy.world has been down quite a few times so I can see the problem of too many people jumping onto one instance. Just figuring out how to find out if a smaller instance is both reliable and stable as you say... Not sure what metrics I can look at or if such metrics exist

[-] DashboTreeFrog@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I do feel like looking for a small instance is better from what I've read so far, but this is the first time I've heard control over my feed being different by instance, outside of instances defederating.

218

I originally chose to make my account on lemmy.world since all the content seemed to come from there. But I've since learned that I can fill my feed with stuff from any instance so it feels like it doesn't actually matter if I'm on lemmy.world or not. At the same time, Lemmy.world seems to be frequently under attack so I'm wondering if I should change instance but have no idea what I should even be looking for when choosing.

I love it when my students outsmart my questions like this, honestly shows good intelligence and problem solving. Also encourages me to write my questions/prompts with more precision.

FTL: Faster Than Light, a pixel sci fi rouge like where you manage a ship and crew jumping point to point on a mission through space. I keep coming back to it and it's always fun. There's an amazing mod community that I'll just starting to explore as well

I rarely hear people talk about it but whenever I do, it's nothing but love.
