  • Yea so still much less than a standard shot of proof alcohol. In any case, yumm! Enjoy one for me :)

  • They look like the tall shot glasses that are closer to 1.5-2 standard drinks (of 40% ABV anyway).

  • GOG’s new preservation program intends to keep classic games playable ‘forever’
  • That's why I use Steam and do not buy on GOG.

    Wait, why Steam? GOG only sells DRM-free games. Any Windows game that works through Steam on Linux, works downloading it from GOG with standalone WINE. Or via things like Heroic Launcher, Lutris or Bottles.

  • Torrents with Pirated TV Shows Used to Push Lumma Stealer Malware
  • Do you not understand that the entire thing is probably marketing, which you've fallen for? This likely isn't new news.

  • If the user had Bitdefender installed, he wouldn’t be able to unzip the file because the security solution would identify the threat and move it to quarantine.

    Whilst this may indeed be an attack that's currently seeing a resurgence, the fact that it's a marketing article doesn't give me a lot of confidence in that.

    Edit: I just noticed that your account is only 8 days old as well. I feel like that's a further indicator that this is just spam.

  • It seems M$ really doesn't want people to keep using WIndows
  • Honestly, I think it all leads back to the original character limit of Twitter. It's referencing that Microsoft is money-grubbing and power-hungry.

  • It's already official: You're living through the hottest year on record
  • ACs have filters though? The filters are also replaceable, and sometimes you can get a better grade filter (advertised for people like hayfever sufferers). I would look into it before next summer...

  • U.S. State of Illinois aims to bolster state protections as trans Midwesterners consider moving before 2nd Trump term
  • ...then progressive states can vote to leave the US.

    No they can't? There is no mechanism for a state to unilaterally secede from the United States. That is literally one of the main causes of the American Civil War? This isn't me trying to ignore the slavery issue, it's still the root cause. However, seceding from the union is what directly caused the war itself.

  • If I recall correctly, that cost was a large blowout due to an expensive provider, and blahaj has now migrated to a provider that has more reasonable fees.

  • Give disabled people who are unable to work a survivable wage
  • Really proving my point on the whole "sealioning" thing here.

  • Give disabled people who are unable to work a survivable wage
  • I think you're also misunderstanding what is being "on disability" in other countries? It seems like your government covers long-term (but not lifelong) illness. Mine doesn't. So the comparison is kind of disingenuous.

  • Give disabled people who are unable to work a survivable wage
  • I feel like thousands of times is deeply underestimating the odds. There are 801 billionaires in the US, while there are over 70 million people living with a disability.

    Edit: I should add that I agree very much with the rest of your comment.

  • Give disabled people who are unable to work a survivable wage
  • Nah thanks, not about to be sealioned by a 19d old account, don't have enough spoons for that.

  • Give disabled people who are unable to work a survivable wage
  • In my opinion: the problems come mainly from freeloaders, that according to me do need to be refused.

    You know that the concept of freeloaders is hogwash that mainstream media perpetuates because it gets views, right? At least under the Australian system, far more money is spent trying to "catch" them, than is spent on them.

    It is literally impossible to be a "good" nonbinary person
  • Hey, I hear what you are saying, but using the correct pronouns for someone is not just being "supportive", it's acting like a human fucking being. The person you're replying to is literally saying drag did the wrong thing, so all I can assume your response means is "I can choose to ignore someone's pronouns if I think they're a bad person". Which is super fucked up. For example, I think Caitlin Jenner is a complete and total piece of shit, but I still use her correct pronouns because I'm not an asshole. This is coming from someone who, like drag, uses 'pup' as a neopronoun, Grow Up!

  • This feels like an overreach by the lemmy.world admin...

    I was banned from lemmy.world for “personal attacks” for 3 days because of calling someone a “piece of shit” after they called me a “cunt”. The comment calling me a cunt wasn’t removed and the user hasn’t been punished at all by the lemmy.world admins.

    The comments in question:

    Lemmy.world modlog:

    In the interest of full disclosure, this is my other comment that was removed:

    !

    And here’s the comment of that user I was referencing, in the Blahaj modlog after it was removed:

    !

    This feels like an overreach, especially when the admin clearly didn’t feel it was important to punish their own user for “personal attacks” in the same thread.

    [Bug] App Icons

    Hey friends, I see you just pushed another test flight build, cheers for all the new updates. However, I just tried changing the App Icon and it doesn’t work at all, just stays on the default one. I tried a bunch to see if it was just one of them glitching out, but none of them work.

    Can we defederate zerobytes.monster?

    It’s just an instance of reposting reddit links. These showed up in my All feed sorted by Hot even though there’s zero interaction. It just feels like spam.

    [Bug/Feature Request] Hide Downvote Button

    I’m on an instance that has downvotes disabled, and I’m wondering if we could add an option to hide the downvote button from the UI when the signed in instance has it disabled. I’ve changed the swipe so it doesn’t have the downvote, but it still shows up in the feed.

    As well it could be nice to have a setting for an alternate to the downvote swipe so that auto-changes depending on instance as well.

    @DroneRights@lemm.ee I’m a chaser and came on to you? Despite telling you I had a partner in the same message? I’m sorry, but you’re just not that interesting. It was a joke because you had a PM_ME username. But yeah, now you’ve accused a trans person of being a chaser. What next? I’m glad the 196 mods saw through your application, yikes.

    @HardlightCereal@lemmy.world @HardlightCereal@lemmy.ml @PM_ME_FAT_ENBIES@lemmy.blahaj.zone @clueless_stoner@lemmy.world @poVoq@slrpnk.net You all need to sort this out because I am livid at being accused of being a bloody chaser by some troll when I’m a trans woman, then getting a permanent ban from lemmy.world for trying to alert the admin of a third instance. Clueless Stoner? You sure are, you make us other stoners look switched on by comparison.

    [Feature Request/Bug] Downvote Button

    I’m on a server that has downvotes disabled. I’m wondering if we can get an update that hides the downvote button/slide when it’s disabled? I accidentally press it 2-3 times per day and the error dialogue can be frustrating. I was thinking there could be an option for what to replace the ‘slide right to downvote’ shortcut with when it’s hidden. Such as share or copy link.

    [request] Local Instance Link Setting

    So at the moment, when you share a post, you get a link to the post on the instance the communities on. Obviously, you aren’t always sharing links with people that are also on your instance, so this behaviour is usually fine. But I have a few friends on my local instance, so it would be nice to be able to link them directly. Maybe having the options be Local/Remote/Ask, with a little options list each time if people want that.

    I got this tattoo for myself the day I was diagnosed with MAIS

    It's a personal mash-up of the Agender, Intersex and Transgender symbols, and a little bit of inspiration from dog desexing tattoos. I'd been questioning since late puberty if I might be Intersex, I never grew an Adam's apple and hardly any body hair despite family genetics. I came out as trans femme non-binary in my early 20s, but it wasn't until the third doctor I saw for hormones that questioned if I might have an intersex condition. The first doctor I saw never questioned that my T was well below the male range because I wanted to start HRT anyway. But he also still put me on T-blockers which have some awful side-effects, including dropping my T to completely zero. Thankfully I'm off those these days and estrogen alone keeps my T where it needs to be.

    The last test that she ran was for sterility, so the day I got that result was when I got my official diagnosis. I'd never really wanted kids of my own, and didn't worry when starting HRT, but it still really shook me to learn that I'm not able too. Hence, I dropped into my local tattoo parlour with a rough sketch, because the adrenaline and pain from that helped me deal with my emotions in a more healthy way.

    Anyway, hi, I'm Norah and that's my story :)

    Witches and Faggots, Dykes and Poofters [Documentary]

    > A documentary about the first Mardi Gras parade in Sydney, Australia. I found a copy of this earlier in the year and posted it on archive.org. Content Warning for police brutality.

    cross-posted from: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1330288

    I'm cross-posting this here as I thought this community might find it interesting as well. I think the way I procured it also leads to a bigger discussion about the preservation of queer film & media. I think it's important, now more than ever, for younger and freshly realised queer people to see that we've been here and fighting for our rights for a really long. Videos like this one feel like they evoke a more visceral connection to that past.

    Retro Lemmy BBS in Windows Terminal

    So the how-to I promised in my last post:

    1. Install the neonmodem package under your default WSL distro. I'm using Debian. You've got to move the executable to your /bin/ folder.
    2. Go to your Windows Terminal settings and click on 'Add a new profile'. Duplicate your default profile.
    3. Rename the profile to 'Neon Modem Overdrive'. You can download the favicon from https://neonmodem.com/favicon.png
    4. Under 'Command line' you want to change it to show as below. This will launch it within it's own tab, and will close out when you quit NMO. C:\Windows\system32\wsl.exe ~ --shell-type login neonmodem
    5. Under 'Additional settings' at the bottom, click on 'Appearance'.
    6. I'm using the 'Vintage' colour scheme, and have the 'Retro terminal effects' setting enabled for those crispy old scanline vibes.
