Venomous: it bites you, you die.

Poisonous: you bite it, you die.

Please don’t eat the lizards, they just vibin’, doin’ lizard shit.

I think the original tweet is saying this is their every day life bc of their adhd.

Being their every day state of existence and not having any control over it is the piece that is adhd specific I believe.

Time is the one thing we all suffer through equally.

It doesn’t matter if you’re a whale gamer with 100 ships or a normal person with 1 or 2.

Those 10 minutes pass the same for us all. And it’s that consequence upon death that gives real weight, meaning and purpose to your choices.

It’s what’s meant to keep you from going, “hurr durr guns go brrrr” and shooting everyone you see on sight like a neanderthal.

The only thing I don’t agree with is the current durations given the state of the game.

Often your ship explodes through no fault of your own. They should incrementally increase wait times as the game stabilizes more on my opinion.

But in a game where death is not permanent like real life time is one of the few things that weighs on us all the same.

And yes, ofc owning more ships b/c you’re wealthier than other players does give you an advantage over other players, doesn’t invalidate my point.

If anything that’s making it more realistic, and some day 200 years from now when they implement “Death of a Spaceman” there will be harsher penalties to death that you can’t whale your way out of, forcing you to prize your life and take action accordingly.

It’s not meant to appeal to everyone. Nothing is meant to appeal to everyone.

If you don’t like it, that’s fine, don’t play, no one is forcing you.

If you disagree with the game mechanics, that’s fine, don’t play. No one is forcing you.

If the devs need to do x, y, and z to appease you as an individual or you’re going to quit, that’s fine, don’t play. No one is forcing you.

Fuck it man, indulge, it’s not the end of the world ya know?

You’re too tired to brush your teeth before bed one night you don’t stop brushing your teeth forever.

It’s okay to mess up, just get back on track the next day. It’s not all or nothing, it’s not a short-term fad die, it’s a lifestyle change, for life.

If your CICO was a line graph and yesterday was normal, today was a big spike, and tomorrow was normal, none of that shit matters when you look at the line over the length of a year of good habits.

You won’t even be able to see this one-off, single-day spike, blip, what have you. It’s a drop of water in the middle of the ocean.

Let yourself make mistakes, just acknowledge it was not the norm, and learn from it. If you bastardize failure you’re setting yourself up to fail harder due to unrealistic expectations, unsustainability, etc.

So I say fuck it. Blow your CICO up today. Just do right by yourself for the rest of the week.

Is that an Outer Wilds desk mat?? You have a link to that by chance?? I’m really hoping you don’t tell me it’s from a GB from like 3 years ago or something lol.

Also what kb you rocking? I like the keycap color scheme.

When did they smear children eating lunch as welfare cheats?

They literally said they support universal lunches? Did you not read what they wrote?

If the parents are committing fraud because they make too much money to qualify for the program wouldn’t that mean if the parents were exposed then denied program benefits they would have enough money to feed their kids anyways?

I guess I don’t understand why it means kids would starve? Is the assumption the parents are evil negligible people who will refuse to feed their children if they can’t cheat the system to have their kids fed for free?

Parents who need the help still get the help and kids still eat. Parents who lied about needing the help will no longer get it and feed their kids themselves so kids still eat.

Where is starvation coming into play? And where has your foster care comment come from? I don’t understand.

NPM’s left-pad library has entered the chat

Is this a hot take? You’re absolutely correct lol.

In the summer 78F during the day but I spend most of that time in the basement because that’s where my office is and 68F at night to sleep.

During the winter 68F all day err’ day

I get these vibes when WASM introduced C# to the frontend via Blazor.

Feels wrong. Feels like it shouldn’t be possible.

But binaries on the frontend are so. cot. dayum. fast

Blazor has been my favourite framework to do my side projects in for the past couple years now.

The DNS resolution, assuming you’re just using your ISP’s DNS authority servers, is still very much known to your ISP.

They can still identify my traffic, where I’m going, what I’m browsing, etc.

With a VPN that you can trust, that emphasizes user privacy, that doesn’t store PII, that doesn’t comply with local law enforcement short of being issued a warrant, all my ISP sees is I keep routing encrypted web traffic to an IP that they can identify is a machine somewhere in the Netherlands.

And besides that they know absolutely fuck all.

Without the VPN they can identify the IPs I make https requests to belong to beehaw, belong to imgur, belong to Netflix, belong to some torrenting site, etc etc.

So fucking ecstatic to have seen that Sync for Lemmy came out today personally.

Paid for Ultra immediately without a second thought even if the app is early days I know it’s a worthwhile investment to keep ljdawson paid and caffeinated lol

This is the one I came to post about. The fact there’s a library for this is so stupid to me.

I feel like it demonstrates how npm and modules have probably to some degree gotten out of hand.

Those AM sidepods give me Ferrari vibes from before they went all boxy this year.

Really liked the look of the Ferrari before their sidepod change looking forward to seeing the AM car with this upgrade

I wrote like… 4 sentences and got approved lol.

Nah Genie done did him dirty. If anything that one should be on the house and mans still has 3 wishes left 😤

Doric, beauty in simplicity, simple as.

I tried transforming the word Lemmy in the same way as demonyms for countries ending in Y just to see how it’d shake out.

Anything calling to anyone? 😅

Germany -> Germans -> Lemmans

Para/Uruguay -> Para/Uruguayans -> Lemmyans

Muscovy -> Muscovites -> Lemmites

Hungary -> Hungarians -> Lemmians

Norway -> Norwegians -> Lemmegians?

Turkey -> Turks? -> Lemms?

Plex and a web app I wrote for a Twitch community I moderate.

Plex is on a server in the Netherlands and the web app is just AWS. I would’ve hosted on some spare hardware but my internet is notoriously trash and I didn’t want to risk it going down while people are playing in the app.

Plex I might move onto a NAS at some point but I’m just too lazy lol.
