Neat, I used an extension to unload tabs. Guess, I don't need that anymore.

I mean, the guy has some amount of followers. Maybe he could have those sign a petition to try to convince the president of the United States to limit oil prices by law.

Ok, I disagree.

It is similar to Bluesky, yes. They both got a lot of inspiration from Twitter (before Musk turned it to shit/X).

And I would say that the discussions are more shallow than on Lemmy. Even though Mastodon has a higher character limit than Twitter and many Mastodon instances effectively remove the character limit, it's still fundamentally a platform for shortform interactions. Infodumping is rarely seen, because you need to create a silly number of chained messages.

On the flipside, though, you get to know people. I do appreciate the time I spent on Mastodon, because of that. It's a very different perspective as not everything is about discussing cold hard facts, but rather also people's hobbies and struggles and whatnot.

Falls es durch den Artikel noch nicht durchgedrungen ist, das ist ein Bezug auf Putin, der seinen Angriffskrieg auf die Ukraine auch als "militärische Spezialoperation" bezeichnet hat.

AI also doesn't mean that it has to send data to a backend. Your basis for accusing Mozilla of doing something questionable is that they put technologies to use which happen to also be used by data-harvesting companies. This is like saying they're evil, because they use programming languages or databases. It entirely depends on how these technologies are used.

Not sure what your problem with Discover is. It uses PackageKit under the hood, which hooks into APT (as well as other distros' package management).

If you want to, you can disable Flatpak and Snap support in Discover's settings and then it is effectively just an APT frontend.

Here's a description page for Discover: https://apps.kde.org/discover/

Also ich habe den Post nicht so interpretiert, dass es ein Problem mit E-Bike-Fahrenden gibt. Nur dass es eben amüsant ist, dass es bergauf ähnlich leicht geht wie bergab. Was ja an sich sogar super ist.

Krass, 2 Jahre hier und dann soll man innerhalb von 7 Tagen alles fallen lassen. Das macht ja wirklich gar keinen Sinn, weder moralisch noch zwischenmenschlich, noch irgendwie aus einer egoistisch-wirtschaftlichen Sicht.

Verstehe aber auch so gar nicht, warum die Behörde zwei Jahre braucht, um festzustellen, dass Kolumbien no bueno ist.

Berg hochradeln ist einfach ätzend. Ohne gute Gangschaltung braucht es extrem viel Kraft. Mit guter Gangschaltung strampelst du dich trotzdem noch zu Tode, weil du sonst zu langsam wirst und das Gleichgewicht verlierst.

Berg runterradeln ist hingegen sehr angenehm, weil du i.d.R. gar nicht treten musst.

Ah, neat. My phone speakers are far too silent, so I'll have to fiddle with this in the other direction.

 
 
 

Hi, the default Roboto font is boring me out of my mind and I'd like to change it.

In the past, I've done so by just replacing the font file in the OS, which worked well, but meant that it would reset after every OS update.
I'm considering scripting that with ADB to make it less of a pain, but figured I should ask, if there's a better way.

I'm on LineageOS which has a font styling system, but it only applies to the OS, not the user-installed apps...

 
 

Of course, I'm playing a race that can't wear them. 🙂

 

Recently gave Hill Orcs more of a chance and realized, they're quite cool. Any others I should be looking at?

 
 

Probably since 0.30, the imp summoned by "Call Imp" now has a spear to poke enemies from behind you. The imp also doesn't blink around anymore.

 

Personal highlights:

Many monsters (boulder beetles, two-headed ogres, various orcs…) do less damage.

Been surprised by how hard these hit many times. 🙃

Bumping a foe while holding a ranged weapon now automatically shoots instead of asking if you want to hit the foe over the head with your bow.

Makes playing purely-ranged characters a lot less annoying.

When worshipping at a faded altar, the player is given a preview of three gods the altar might belong to.

So far, it felt 'optimal' to always gamble and just throw away a character when you get a bad god. Now it feels a lot more like an actual decision.
