Would that count? Most of those faces are like a single pixel of detail from the stage.

I have only ever managed a blob, even after following guides. I mostly drink my coffee black because I’m so embarrassingly bad at this.

Welcome!

Just that first thing

Ah right. Yeah we don’t have a lot those, we have a hub and spoke system of commuter trains, with gaps filled with busses.

Wellington is services by a couple of weekday trains from neighbouring cities, that are each approx 2 hours away (slow ones, travelling around 150km distance in that time). Of those trains, one only runs once a day and not at all on weekend, and the other is only like 4 a day and 2 on weekends. Intercity rail is not that good here. You can get Wellington<->Auckland (two biggest cities) but it’s priced for tourists not commuters (goes pasts mountains etc). Plus is a whole day’s travel, we don’t have fast trains.

In Wellington, NZ is the busses and trains are often late, but they run every 5-20 mins and they have electronic boards telling you when they are estimated to arrive based on real time tracking, so it’s not a big deal when you can just show up and one won’t be far away.

My phone tells me I have ∞ open.

I’m not sure how to easily count on my computer (firefox), I have vertical tabs on, I have to scroll, and many of the tabs are in collapsed groups…

And before you ask, yes all the tabs are important and necessary.

Oh for sure, and Organic Maps was a fork too. Open Source is awesome 🙂.

I reckon whoever that team member was introducing them all to CoMaps is probably familiar with the Fediverse, and may even be watching us now 👀

This is really cool! Amazing for such a new project too. I love reading about all the work they are doing. Also scary that it takes 35 hours to run the map update 😆

So if I dive forward from a very low height I can briefly fly?

Andre the Giant has been dead for over 30 years so I’m not sure he can throw as far as you’re expecting.

I have this one recipe that calls for half a clove of garlic…

I normally do that, but I got Baldur’s Gate I think within it’s first year, and the thing that sold me is they put it DRM free on GOG super early. Normally you have to wait 15 years to get a AAA game on GOG, so I wanted to support that decision to put it there early.

You might have been expecting the response you got here, or you might not have. I know I learnt more about nazi/hate speech dogwhistles in my first few weeks as a Lemmy admin than I had learnt in all my life up to that point 😅.

I also know in those early days there were people worried my instance was a “free speech” instance because I wanted open conversations instead of bans. Mostly I think I didn’t appreciate how big of a problem it was, and for sure I had people registered on my instance expecting it was a “free speech” instance. There are people out there looking for a place to spout their hate and many think Lemmy is the place for it because it’s advertised as censorship resistant.

Please know that there is a strong belief (among both nazis and anti-nazis) that indicating a place as being able to speak your mind is a dog whistle for allowing hate speech. Over time if you find you aren’t attracting the right kind of members, you may need to tweak your wording. But also please know that the idea of supporting people to be better community members instead of flat out banning people does work for many members, because many people just don’t realise that what they are saying is harmful. Some people will be operating in bad faith though, and it’s typically the same small number of people that keep getting banned. Because you have open registrations, these users are more likely to come to your instance.

It’s also important to understand that the Fediverse is full of users that have felt unsafe on mainstream social media. Your rules against hate speech need to be strictly enforced, of you’ll find yourself isolated in the Fediverse as no one will want to federate with you.

You’ll likely be able to find if on whatever store your distro comes with. There’s also the third party launcher Lutris but I have found Heroic to be great. If you’re playing games without a linux version, Heroic will help you install WINE versions as well, so you can play almost anything.

It’s coming but I’ve used Heroic with GOG for years, it works great.

I feel like I have quite some learning to go on cooking the perfect pizza!

I never considered that a short sharp cook would be better than longer at a lower heat. I already only cook the pizzas 3-5 mins.

Hmm, maybe I will need to learn how to hack my oven.

I have too (uBlock Origin)! On chrome as I’m not allowed Firefox. But when I flick through the chrome store, almost all extensions are blocked. It’s like it was a deliberate decision to let us have it, which is considering the maturity of the organisation in other ways.

My oven has a pizza mode 😆. Surely at 450 Celsius the pizza is just gonna come out black… I think pizza mode is more like 260 heated from underneath.
