I mean … magic like in Pokemon

This would have been good context to include in your original post. How the heck is everyone else supposed to know that this is what you were asking about?

Also, you might get more of the answers you’re looking for if you ask in a Pokémon community instead.

Using RPMs through a frontend like Discover or Gnome Software can sometimes have unintended side effects that are much more easily anticipated when using dnf.

Just the other day, I uninstalled something through Gnome Software that was an RPM, and it also removed fuse-fs packages, breaking all of my appimage stuff until I manually installed fuse again.

This doesn’t ever happen with Flatpak in my experience, though I could just be lucky. It makes some sense to limit the destruction potential for less technical frontend installers like Gnome Software and leave the RPMs to something else like dnf. Though, I do really enjoy being able to open a manually downloaded RPM in a nice GUI to install it.

It is probably a good idea to mention what Redshift actually is, since it’s far from the top result in a search, and a lot of people associate that word with an AWS product by the same name. Wikipedia describes the Redshift you presumably mean as:

an application that adjusts the computer display’s color temperature based upon the time of day.

It also mentions that gammastep is a more recent fork, but it has not had any commit activity for 2.5 years, so gammastep might be abandoned as well.

It’s totally possible to build a new network of great friends at literally any point in your life! I have moved multiple times over the years to entirely different regions where I knew zero people and I have always eventually found new friends. (I’m also autistic and introverted, so if I can do it, most people probably can.)

Sometimes it might take a while to find the activities you like, and thus the people who share your interests, but they’re out there! If nothing else, it helps to start going on a regular basis to a local bar that hosts live music and just nurse a drink (even a soda if you’re sober) and hang out, you’ll start sussing out the social fabric in the area pretty quick.

Good luck, you can do it!

I’m looking for a PDF viewer which would allow me to go from one PDF file to another without going back to the file explorer. In a way, I’d want it to work a bit like an image viewer where you only have to click on an arrow to go to the next image.

GNOME sushi kinda works like that, especially if you restrict a nautilus window to only showing PDFs (e.g., by searching for pdf first). Then you hit space and it opens the preview, and you can arrow left and right to move to the next match without explicitly tabbing back to nautilus first.

Although, 8601 is still ambiguous if you don’t know ahead of time that it’s the format being used.

I’m a American living in the US and even I can only guess which date they meant. Everyone should just use the three letter month instead of the number when writing for other humans.

Presumably they are referring to the US election day, but I feel like that was hardly an unexpected facepalm result, considering how many political facepalm moments there were along the way leading up to it.

I don’t think they were intending to be snarky. At least, not towards you. Perhaps towards society brainwashing us all into thinking that generations are useful in any meaningful way.

If anything, they are encouraging you. Go find stuff you like, it doesn’t matter how old/young the other people who like it are. If you can’t find those communities, make one! That’s one of the beautiful things about Lemmy; it is what you make of it.

Blue Sky “fixed” that by only having one instance.

I suppose we could “fix” it in a similar way by inviting people to a specific instance instead of pointing them at join-lemmy.org.(Although that site has improved massively since the last time I saw it.)

Don’t even mention instances or federation, just say “hey you should join me on <favorite instance URL>”.

Once they are using it, that’s the first hurdle, and they’ll notice pretty quickly that there are other servers that all (mostly) talk to each other.

Taking the police and reporting organizations at their word that they are giving factual information about the who, what, when, where, and why is also a bias.

I’ll take the imperialist extraterrestrials, they’re probably gonna be easier to mobilize humans in opposition against than the terrestrial imperialists we have now.

I think I’d just bring extra food the next day so both I and they can eat. Clearly someone isn’t able to bring their own food for whatever reason, and I can’t really blame them for choosing to eat when the alternative is starving, even if it is annoying that I missed my lunch that day.

That’s a pretty vague question; what kind of NSFW “stuff” are you looking to post?

However, if you’re talking about art, then Slushe is a fairly nice NSFW art site (though it may be abandoned by it’s creators, last blog activity was over a year ago) that varied artists post plenty of stuff regularly.

Yes. (Or rather, gender neutral.)

Oh no, somebody who might be Russian took a family vacation to go fishing with their loved ones!? What an orgy of indulgence! The audacity!

Yeah, not understanding that is a consequence of people not reading the source material, because Tolkien definitely explains exactly why the eagles couldn’t do that.

On the other hand, I think it’s a valid criticism of the movies that, for all the amazing things he did in that trilogy, Peter Jackson failed to explain something minor that turned out to be a lingering issue for some segment of the wider audience that would consume that adaptation.

These fuckers should just release digital first, and physical comes when it’s done being printed and distributed. This anxiety over “oh no a finished game got leaked early” is manufactured drama. If the game is done, then it doesn’t matter when it gets released, except for artificial marketing angst. Make a good game that players want, and it’ll be purchased. Eventually. It doesn’t have to all happen at exactly the predicted moment.

This kind of confusion illustrated by Telegram users is exactly why it was the right thing to do for privacy when Signal removed support for SMS because it’s not encrypted. People still whine endlessly about it, but most users are not very savvy, and they’ll assume “this app is secure” and gleefully send compromised SMS to each other. All the warnings and UI indicators that parts of the app were less secure (or not at all in the case of SMS) would be ignored by many users, resulting in an effectively more dangerous app. Signal was smart to remove those insecure features entirely.

Why is that impossible? Create the post in [email protected], or [email protected] or [email protected] (those are the games OP keeps harping on) or whatever game they’re interested in.

I guess if there’s no existing community, that’s an issue. Create one, then. Post the hyper-specific question into that new community, and then go post an announcement of the community in the broader games communities and let people interested naturally filter in.

I’m not a Lemmy expert by any means, I’m just suggesting ways to engage with people that seems to me like it’d be more constructive and likely to be appreciated. 🤷

I looked at the comments on a few of your posts, and people are telling you exactly why they are annoyed by them.

Your posts come off as low effort spam, almost like you’re treating Lemmy communities like a Discord chat room. Also, you post very similar kinds of things about the same couple of games on the daily, and people probably get tired of seeing samey stuff in their feed.

I’ve noticed that you’re making hyper specific posts (“what do you think about X mission in rdr”) in a general gaming community. Try posting those hyper specific questions in the communities for the actual game you’re asking about, where people who want to nerd out about some random mission are more likely to be.

It’s cool that you’re trying to engage people though, I think you just need to get some more practice at reading the crowd here. Lurk more, maybe. Lemmy isn’t the other site, we don’t necessarily resonate with all the same kinds of content here.
