This was my takeaway from this as well. I’ll have to see if I can locate an Arxiv copy of the full paper, but this just seems more like a thought exercise to explain dark matter using String Theory principles.

Edit: Here’s the full paper for anyone curious

For what it’s worth, I saw your posts on Yiffit when you found all this out after the fact. It’s a little inconvenient on desktop, but on mobile it’s actually very intuitive to have separate accounts to specifically browse an instance by local. You can usually even have the same display name if that’s important to you as well.

In the future though you always do need to keep instance politics, culture, and rules in mind when choosing a daily driver account because it is important.

The admins of Lemmy.ml are staunchly against any pornographic material being federated to their instance. This stance is unlikely to ever change and you should not expect it to.

Personally I would just recommend keeping two accounts if this is your problem - one general purpose and another for being able to view NSFW.

Unfortunately, they never left.

I’m not sure I understand your problem with this. Are you perceiving being asked to do a task as rude or are you just annoyed at being asked at all?

"Insert monotone request or statement. Thanks.” Is just an objective and no fluff way of saying “You need to do this” by a manager or someone tasked with delegating work.

You can Ctrl+select multiple languages. Do you also have Undetermined+English+whatever else is relevant set?

In my experience the federation issues others are referring to don’t report missing comments because they aren’t technically there on anything but the home instance so I’m inclined to believe it’s something different.

Go to your settings and make sure your language preferences include “undetermined” as well as your preferred languages. Lemmy only shows comments that match your preferences.

That’s definitely the case then as most major instances pushed updates around then. Lemmy.World has been particularly bad since it’s still running on the old 0.18.x version of Lemmy.

The bugs have been opened and the devs made aware of the issues. For now just be patient as things get worked on as it is the holiday season.

You’re not shadow banned and I don’t believe that’s a thing. The newer versions of Lemmy 0.19.0/1 have issues with federation to other instances. If you are posting comments to another instance it is likely not being seen by anyone.

I don’t even know if you’ll see this comment.

Caramelization is a specific chemical change to the sugars in the onions. Brown =/= Caramelized and will affect the flavor significantly so you really shouldn’t cut corners.

If I’m commiting the time to do it I just make sure to make as much as I can fit in my pot.

But true caramelization on onions is still like 45-60 minutes of constant attention. It’s not difficult, but it does require a lot of time and effort. You’re not getting a caramelization in 15 minutes without a pressure cooker and even then they taste like nothing so what’s the point?

Too lazy to cook

Caramelize some onions

I know you clarified that they can just be to translucent, but it’s hilarious to me that the first step to a lazy meal is to spend 45 minutes caramelizing onions.

I agree completely and generally describe it as a single-player MMO experience. It does a great job of incorporating the FF storytelling into an MMO environment and I personally love it. I haven’t played since they massively condensed the ARR content a few years back.

At the end of the day though, an MMO and a traditional RPG play very very differently and attract a very different audience so I usually give it an asterisk.

The newer games still have the same general story elements and themes that were characteristic of the entries you’re used to, but the combat is more like an action RPG. The sky pirate one is FF12(my personal favorite one) and Lightnings entries are FF13. Since 14 is an MMO you’ve really only missed two main-series games.

I’m waiting on the latest entry, FF16, to be released on PC so I’m no authority, but from streams I’ve watched the combat is pretty similar looking to the Devil May Cry series.

On top of the other comments, I’d also like to point out that it’s a little unfair to blame a brand new fediverse user for not understanding how it works.

I know I certainly didn’t understand how it worked with my first account, but you learn over time by using and interacting. You need to make an account first though to get to that point. Lemmy.world is a safe option for a new user who probably doesn’t understand the specifics of the decision of where to make an account.

It released the same year as FF8 and managed to have insanely more depth. It squeezed every last ounce of performance out of that system.

For real. Either way I appreciate you fighting the good fight even if it’s a futile effort!

Yeah. For fun I checked from another account and they edited out a lot of their inflammatory remarks that were downvotes to make themselves appear more reasonable too.

I get enough of this in my daily life and don’t need to be lectured by a child who thinks that all great human accomplishments happened because someone paid attention really hard for 6 hours straight.

I blocked OP so I can’t see if they’re still on the same tirade as earlier with fetishizing fixations. Do yourself a favor and just disengage. I’m pretty sure they are a literal child.

All of your points only have any validity if you could control what you actually hyperfocus on, which you cannot. It’s not something that you get to pick and choose what to use it on or turn it on and off at will.

You really don’t understand what hyperfocus is from your remarks.
