I’m sure it’s purely a coincidence that Twitter and Reddit are both being dismantled a year before the 2024 US election. And that Twitter’s demise was funded by Saudi Arabia.

Musk does seem to relish his chance to play the troll on a global stage, but that’s more of a side perk than the central reason for all of this.

Senkaku islands, there’s pretty regular posturing from both sides over the ownership of a couple barren rocks since they have implications for territorial waters.

Here’s the wikipedia article:

Senkaku Islands Dispute

Try to find out as much as you can about what the job/career is actually like, ask people who are in that field, if you can try to get some experience as an intern.

The worst thing you can do is focus on a major without considering what the actual work will be like once you graduate. Even if you love studying a topic, the actual work may be much less fun in practice.

Try to get some part-time experience of your own as you can, even at sub-entry level/intern levels it should help you know better what kinds of jobs you would enjoy full time. It’s often hard to envision a job without having some exposure to the field.

It was confirmed from an unintentional Amazon description along with all the other DLC characters a month ago, this isn’t anything new.

You don’t need to delete the app, but you do need to re-log in to be able to vote or comment (presumably because of the hack yesterday).

Go to accounts tab, and delete your account (from the list of logged in accounts) and then log back in. You may need to “add it” a second time before you can delete it.

Twitter: owned by Saudi Arabia, endorsed by the Taliban. Great new tagline!

Fewer mobile users maybe? For whatever reason, autocorrect/autocomplete suggestions on iOS always tries to add inappropriate apostrophes to plural words. Without fail, every single time. I sometimes reflexively tap the autocomplete suggestion to finish longer words and it’s really aggravating.

Got a source, or did you happen to overhear this bit of conversation yourself?

There is a lot of public misunderstanding of the rodent studies that linked aspartame to cancer, which are very flawed and essentially come from a single Italian research group.

There is still no definitive link to cancer risk in humans so I would continue to be skeptical. The maximum recommended safe exposure for aspartame is the equivalent of 12 cans of coke, and the strong effects from the rodent study were using exposure amounts equivalent to 5 times that amount, or 60 cans daily, every day of their life after day 12 of fetal life (i.e. before birth).

Almost anything can cause long-term health risks and toxicity at such massive exposure levels.

Link to the free Pubmed link to one of the original source studies from 2008 so you can see their methodology and the absurdly massive exposure amounts needed to ovserve these effects:

I don’t have any issue on iOS/Safari for lemmy.world, what’s your OS and browser?

The name is a reference to the NASA missons (Apollo > Voyager), which is also referenced in Star Trek so it’s related in a sense.

Great point, after all we are all familiar with the historical example of the Hitler Youth overthrowing the government in Nazi Germany.

You have to keep in mind Saudi Arabia are the real owners of Twitter, sure their interests are aligned with Musk generally but you’re missing some important context if you boil it all down to Musk.

Play it on the couch sitting next to my wife while we watch tv or movies in the evenings.

Spending nights sitting at a desktop (or monopolizing the TV) is frequently impractical and honestly unappealing to me, the SD makes it extremely convenient to play whenever.

The other big appeal is emulation- it wasn’t why I purchased one, but setting up Emudeck and Steam Rom Manager is incredibly convenient and lets you easily run anything up to WiiU/PS3 gen seamlessly from game mode. For that alone I would recommend it, the ease of access and convenience is amazing.

Definitely not that, it’s a strong preference but any mob can drop any item type.

There have been a few posts with individual testing results that show there is a clear preference between certain item types and mob types, but we don’t have a complete/comprehensive list yet. It’s pretty easy to see for yourself if you run the same dungeon several times in a row and fill your inventory a few times.

The information most widely circulated is the Maxroll list, which is based on pre-release information and has been proven to be incorrect on a few details already. I don’t have a link handy but there were some detailed posts in the official D4/Blizzard forums (PC General Discussion).

Oh my sweet summer child

It may be dependent on your build, Rogue was the character I beat the campaign with first and got to WT4 first, it was pretty painless.

Used melee Flurry/imbues with Close-quarters combat and combo points. I think it helps that most of the core skill aspects for Rogue (flurry, TB, Barrage) are available from the codex, so you don’t need to rely too much on drops.

Cellars are probably the safest but lowest return, maybe do some whisper quests to gear up at first.

After that, Uldur’s Cave (south of the Iron Wolves Encampment) normal dungeon has high mob density and fairly easy enemies to deal with, it’s a great place for xp and drops and relatively safe. I would stay there until you are tanky enough for NMD.

I would not recommend Lutris/wine for D4 since it tuns perfectly on Proton Experimental, at that point you are just introducing another layer of potential compatibility issues that are completely unnecessary. I tried using Lutris on launch day and it was a total headache with various components being incompatible.

Just install the launcher in desktop mode and add it as a steam game, then set compatibility mode to Proton Experimental. Done.

I have not been able to stop playing D4, but Grim Dawn plays absolutely perfectly on the Deck, one of the games I would recommend the most.
