Those damn scientists, driving around in their grant-money sportscars!

Oh that’s new for me. I’ve been using alternativeto.com

Communities cannot be fully “deleted”.

They can only be “deleted” in the sense that they disappear for everyone.

You, as a mod, can still see and restore the community. To get rid of it from your list, you’d have to be unassigned as a mod. I don’t think that’s possible if you’re the only mod in a community.

And if they’ll eat it.

Mine slurps up half of the gravy, and then shows absolutely no interest in the solid food.

He was a rescue, so I didn’t get decide what he got used to eating.

Edit: I was not asking for advice. You are not giving me new ideas. The boy is over 10 years old at this point, the transition to wet food has been attempted a couple times, with veterinary advice.

He was diagnosed with chronic kidney failure in december, when he stopped eating even dry food. He is now on a veterinary diet to extend and make the remainder of his life comfortable. As such even fewer options are available. The wet versions of the special foods were tried, but especially considering his condition, he must eat, and do so regularly.

FFS. Literally no free fun allowed. Bare minimum to appease players.

Even better.

Wait. Loot boxes are back?

Stalk active users and see where they post.

My pleasure!

I’m very happy to have stuck with it. Many communities now have contributors other than me, which has allowed me to discover artists that are new to me in turn.

I do the same thing, but with anime girls.

The standby power of a desktop is not that massive. Especially when you don’t run a GPU or display. That windows 8 machine you have is probably fine as-is.

An ATX PSU doesn’t suck down 500 watts at all times, just because the sticker on it says it can. How much power your machine will use will depend much more on the CPU.

So just slap linux on it and have at it. If nothing else, you’ll get familiar with the software involved, and be better prepared if you end up wanting to buy new hardware for this.

There’s not really any lock-in with linux. Almost any piece of software you might run can be run on almost any distro you might consider using.

It should.

I love fighting games.

But holy fuck is the monetization some of the most outrageous I’ve seen.

Oh man! You just put to words why I couldn’t stand Breaking Bad, and Boardwalk Empire.

I watched the first simply because a lot of people love it, and I try to watch everything that seems worth seeing. The second I saw some clips from that I really liked, but then I just didn’t stick with the actual show.

In both cases, the series left me on constant edge, in a really bad way.

Now I realize that I kept waiting for the shows to grant me some kind of catharsis, but it just never happened. Or it happened rarely and in ways that quickly gets brushed away as inconsequential.

Literally anyone with privilege, when they lose even a sliver of that privilege: “I am being oppressed”

Gamefreak needs a fire lit under their ass.

One they can’t put out by litigating it to shreds.

Nintendo doesn’t really “dry” their IPs. They actually innovate between games, making sure each installment is worthy of existing. They don’t just slap a new number on the same content as last time, like the EAs, Ubisofts and Actiblizzards of the industry.

That’s why they’ve lasted. A game featuring Mario or Link isn’t so much a familiar IP, as it has become a seal of quality.

Doesn’t mean they aren’t guilty of a bunch of other anti-consumer bullshit.

The students are spied on by their teachers using AI and webcams when they do exams online on their laptop.

This teacher is expressing amusement at the image on the wall fooling the AI into thinking the student had someone help them during the test. The teacher then goes on to comment that they can tell that the student kept looking to the left (the teacher assuming they are looking things up in a book or by using a second device) and that the student might want to remove the image from their wall to avoid the AI flagging them.

You kid, but I’m fully aware that I find Adria Arjona impossibly attractive, and that because of that she makes Bix that much more appealing to me.

But she did do a fantastic job playing the character. It’s too bad she hasn’t been in too many things aside from Andor that are actually good. There is pretty much just Good Omens.
