Not to mention Lipton Ice Tea is rubbish. You can make your own for 1/10th of the price, and it’ll taste 10x better.

It would be kind of ironic to have an isitdown community on Lemmy itself. If an instance it down nobody from there would be able to post, and if the instance the community is made on is down then then none of the posts would federate

While I don’t have the answers I did attempt to write a book for fun many years ago. It was quite an eye opening experience, because it turns out writing a book is hard, and very time consuming. I was only about 20 pages in before I gave up the idea.

That said, you don’t have to actually write a book. Writing creative essays, short stories, and even articles can be very rewarding without needing any long-term commitments. I’d give those a shot before jumping into something as big as making a real book. I still enjoy writing and I’m sure you will too, but you need a ton of commitment to make a book.

This is probably in response to the dam being built in the Nile river that might limit the amount of water Egypt recieves.

I was coming to comment this. I’ve used a lot of free video editing software over the years and most of them are ass. The ones that aren’t usually have a catch like watermarking your output. Davinci resolve came out of nowhere for me and blew me away, it’s everything you could want in a video editing program but free!

Oh come on, I just started using it two days ago! Libreddit often doesn’t work these days.

You should give it a shot, it’s pretty fun and West of Loathing isn’t that long to finish.

There’s a Github issue specifically for this

West of Loathing and its sequel Shadows of Loathing have a bland grayscale artstyle on the outside but they’re absolutely hilarious RPGs that have a lot of heart to them.

I have had some people refuse to even try Baba Is You, because it looks ugly.

Oh come on, the art style is charming!

The little chain icon under the comment should send you there and show you that comment’s context.

Could you mention what apps you needed to run?

I don’t remember which they were exactly but some Adobe products were some of them. Specifically Illustrator.

Also, fractional scaling has been improved a lot in Gnome and KDE, afaik.

I hope so. I’ve last been on Linux like ~2 years ago and I’ve heard some good changes.

A few apps I needed didn’t work on Linux without a hassle and a lot of games I play with friends only run on Windows. I also found a lot of things were kind of a hassle on Linux, especially screen scaling. Fractional screen scaling straight up barely works and everything on my laptop screen was usually tiny.

I would totally go back when the experience is a bit nicer, I’m pretty frustrated with Windows. I think the Linux desktop experience isn’t totally ready imo.

No Schweppes? For shame.

Also, cheers to my milk tea brethren.

I’m not sure if you can do this on the app you’re using, but on the website you can click on your profile --> settings --> disable “Show NSFW Content” and hit save.

Reddit had ways to automatically catch people trying to manipulate votes though, at least the obvious ones. A friend of mine posted a reddit link for everyone to upvote on our group and got temporarily suspended for vote manipulation like an hour later. I don’t know if something like that can be implemented in the Fediverse but some people on github suggested a way for instances to share to other instances how trusted/distrusted a user or instance is.

Nobody knows what’s up. Apparently the admins lost the domain name: https://feddit.nl/post/458654

Yeah, pick the community you want to crosspost to and hit “create”.
