You need to live in a dry climate for it to work. The increased sweating more than makes up for the added heat from the tea.

Welcome back and congratulations

Great to have you back. This is the only Lemmy app that handles multiple instances in a way I like, and I was getting concerned it would be abandoned.

Regarding the multi-instance stuff, is it possible to add a way to view the logged-in version of the local feed and/or the community list for an instance you don’t have an account on, provided you do have an account on another federated instance?

That’s a mouthful, so let me explain: I have a account on instance A which is federated with instance B. Instance B has community X which is public and community Y which is only visible to logged in users. Provided someone from my instance has interacted with them, both X and Y are searchable from A and appear in all. Now the “issue”: if I go to B’s local, I will only see posts from X since I’m not logged in to B despite Y being visible from A’s all. Likewise, if I view B’s community list I will only see X. Since I have access to Y via A, and can interact freely with it, I should be able to see it when browsing B.

This doesn’t seem to be possible from the web app ether so it might be a Lemmy limitation.

I think you’re confusing AppleTalk with AppleShare. AFP runs fine over TCP/IP and has since way back in the System 6 days.

If you put the die type along the top row (just the numbers, no d) and this in A2 it should do what you want.

=RANDBETWEEN(1,A$1)

You can copy the cell without editing the formula and fill as much of the sheet as you want. Press F9 to reroll.

If you prefer a percentile die with zero, you can change it to

=RANDBETWEEN(0,9)*10

Or just combine the 2 dice as a single d100

I’m neither so take this with a cup of salt:

Originally they were the same. Pan (and some others) faded from use and was largely forgotten.

When it first came back into use, there was a lot of “you’re attracted to both genders; we’re attracted to all genders” but this got a lot of pushback as being bi-phobic because it paints bisexuals as being transphobic (although if you really think about it, the accusation that this is transphobic is itself transphobic as it implies trans people are not included in “both genders”. Perhaps enby-phobic would have been a more appropriate accusation).

These days the generally accepted distinction is that pansexuals are attracted to people regardless of gender, as in gender plays no part, as opposed to bisexuals who may (or may not) be attracted differently to different genders.

Bittorrent opens a ton of simultaneous connections that can overwhelm the pos router supplied by some ISPs. If that’s your issue, lowering the max # of connections could not only clear it up but also increase your download speed

Windows’ built-in bluetooth stack is famously bad. Try installing the Toshiba one instead. It’s a bit clunky UI-wise, but tends to have less issues.

I have a pair of Nintendo’s NES controllers for the switch, a 1st gen 8bitDo SNES, the M30 Genesis, and USB adapters for the N64 and GameCube controllers.

And just use the switch pro controller for everything :(

Don’t get me wrong. Those other controllers are awesome. I just don’t have the patience to be constantly switching, and the pro controller is just so good as long as you don’t need analog shoulder buttons.

Open source is generally considered to be more secure because the large number of eyes on it are expected to catch the vulnerabilities. That’s the idea anyway.

I get where you’re coming from though. If anyone can see how it works it must be easier to break into right? But if something is only secure because you don’t know how it works, then it isn’t really secure at all.

It’s not that ARR is bad, just that Heavensward was such a jump in the quality of both writing and voice acting that it makes ARR look bad in hindsight. And the slog was actually the post-ARR section (ie patch content). It was awful. Largely cleaned up now though. Still long.

If you ever do play, the biggest mistake you can make is to rush to endgame. You’ll burn out. Take it slow, read the dialog, watch the cutscenes, and you’ll have a much better time. It is Final Fantasy after all.

You don’t need to make an alt to play a different class. The game encourages multiclassing and there is an ingame server transfer system so need to make one for other servers either. But yeah if you do make an alt you need to go through it all again.

On iOS. Once you scroll down so far the screen dims very slightly. The amount you need to scroll to make it happen varies from post to post, but it’s usually around 2 full screens.

See linked screenshots (forgive the iCloud link).

The dimming seems to be restricted to liftoff. Brightness remains the same in settings and the top status bar is unaffected. It can be reversed by scrolling back up.

“Never stop at the first right answer”

There are multiple solutions to every problem, and the first one you come up with is unlikely to be the best.

On the other hand, “don’t let perfect be the enemy of good”

Specifically I think they’re talking about the subclass of np problems called “np complete” that are functionally identical to each other in some mathy way such that solving one of them instantly gives you a method to solve all of them.

Perhaps I missed it but I can’t find any way to list the communities on my instance. I don’t mean search or !all, just the list that you can get from http://myinstance/communities
