Also, abusing a Github issue as your personal Twitter timeline is not going to persuade anyone.
The comments in that issue are atrocious.

Same.
The story isn’t super deep and it isn’t necessarily profound – it’s not really a belief-changer, outside of, perhaps, your idea of what a videogame is – but the experience itself is beautiful and rewarding and I’m not sure it can be recaptured.
Spoilers for Outer Wilds ahead
I had an interesting discussion about this game with a friend who didn’t feel anything after finishing Outer Wilds. We came to the conclusion that while the “concept” of Outer Wilds is incredibly sad/beautiful, not everyone feels something for concepts and ideas.
For example, my friend is a serious cry baby when characters he knows well die in games/shows/movies. We barely know anything about the Outer Wilds universe, its inhabitants or even our protagonist, so there’s nothing sad about individual characters perishing.
Yet you, I and many others deeply connected with a story about the volatility of the universe and life itself and how everything has to come to an end.
(DLC spoilers ahead)
The same applies to the DLC, there is nothing inherently sad about either of us perishing. We barely know anything about the stranger, the owlks, the prisoner or our protagonist. But the idea of both of us being dead inside of a simulation, drifting through space on a dying vessel in a dying universe is a heart breaking thought to me.
As disappointed as I was that not everyone seems to experience these emotions, it for sure is interesting.

The discussion between Catherine and Simon on the elevator is my favorite dialogue in any game. Not just are the voice actors amazing but a common sci-fi trope is presented from a much darker view than usual.
(Spoilers for SOMA ahead; go play the game, it only costs 5 bucks on sale)
My first sentence when I get connected to a chat bot is always “Let me speak to a human”.

I’m no expert on IPv6 but here’s how I did it on my OPNsense box:
- Activate IPv6 on your
WANinterface (probably already done) - Activate IPv6 on the
LANinterface, useTrack interfaceon IPv6, track theWANinterface and choose a prefix ID like0x1 - Activate DHCPv6 under Services -> ISC DHCPv6 for your LAN interface (you can shorten the range like
::eeeeto::ffff, you don’t have to type the full IP) - Activate Router advertisments under Services -> Router Advertisments for your LAN interface (set
AdvertismentstoManagedandPrioritytoHigh
After that your DHCP server should serve public IPv6 addresses inside of your prefix and clients should be able to connect to the internet.
A few notes:
- Don’t forget to add an allow rule for IPv6 on your LAN as well if you only have one for IPv4
- Repeat the steps above for every VLAN you have, always use a different prefix ID
- You don’t have to use NAT rules with IPv6 anymore and can just directly add a regular firewall rule to WAN with the target IP and port and you are done
- Make sure you don’t have any of the various “Disable IPv6” toggles enabled, there’s a few in the firewall settings and general settings for example
- Activate IPv6 on your
Reddit once banned me for “vote brigading” a post on a subreddit that was linked in a different subreddit, a full year after I upvoted said post.
That was the day I stopped interacting on Reddit.
41·17 days agoRight you are, but don’t start telling everyone so I can’t silently download my lossless albums from Tidal, Deezer and Qobuz anymore.

Separating the artist from the art is fine for me as long as you don’t support them. There is nothing inherently wrong with consuming media you like from a controversial figure.
Of course it’s hard to separate the artist and the art if you actively give them money for it.
I like some of Kanye West’s music but I would never spend a single cent on one of his albums, watch an ad on Youtube for his music videos or listen to his songs on streaming services.

6·2 months agoThat’s a shame because ionity is absolute trash.
0.69 EUR/kWh is a robbery and requiring a subscription to fill your car cheaper is a scam. They are doing it with taxpayers’ money as well.
Imagine a publicly funded gas station with those conditions and people would lose their mind.
13·2 months agoI’m aware of their reason for dropping support but it’s not sensible to drop a functioning system and replace it with nothing and then talk about how to do it better for years. That post is from 2017, it’s 2024 now and there is still no replacement in sight.
Or, use KDE. Which does it all without any extension, even if the current API sucks.
It’s not acceptable to me to require a third party extension to achieve a basic useable desktop environment.
I also really like GNOME the software but I moved away a few months ago because of this.
As is, the current GNOME is unusable to me without extensions because they refuse to implement support for appindicators. You literally cannot use applications that minimize to tray on vanilla GNOME right now. They have been talking about adding their own protocol for years but that is of no use when things are broken right now.
Important features and bug fixes are always stuck in merge request limbo for years. VRR for Wayland got merged recently after 4 years and it’s still experimental. DRM leasing is still missing on Wayland, KDE added it 3 years ago.
The final straw was when KDE announced HDR support last year I switched over because I knew GNOME would probably lag behind by months or even years.
Check out Picard, I switched to it when I switched to Linux: https://flathub.org/apps/org.musicbrainz.Picard
2·2 months agoYou can root the Gardena gateway and control their mowers locally with this: https://github.com/andrexp/gardena-local-control
I don’t think they have mowers with GPS though. Also, some of their mowers don’t use the gateway.
You sound like you might enjoy a Steam Deck. So many great games available on PC, you don’t even need to take a glance at any micro transaction infested games.
A good reminder that I wanted to check if support can be added for their presence sensors. Those things are incredibly noisy.
I really like that you can view who upvoted/downvoted a post on Lemmy. Makes for some interesting analysis on some posts.
