I hope we get a similar tool for Cyberpunk. It would be awesome if we could add more missions items etc easily. The vast majority of mods currently are just clothing mods.

a friend invited me to play a boardgame online, called Kingdomino. I really loved it, and since money is tight, I made my own copy of the tiles for in-person play.

They aren't perfect by any means and it took a fucking age to do them, but it's a playable version I can bust out with friends and family.

I would guess the ban came from an overzealous application of the "no personal info" doxxing rule, because that pic has an address on it which is technically a company address, but there ya go, that's my guess. I was banned once for something similar.

I listen to a lot of Black Sabbath. all of their music is quite heavy with Christian themes, and always portrays Satan as tempting and malicious. I dont know why they get tagged as a "devil worshipping band" because as far as I can tell Black Sabbath is Christian rock.

Sadly, Portal64 has come to an end after cease & desist letters were issued to James. Still, it was a fantastic series and he is a great presenter, he makes the technical challenges he faces so Interesting to follow.

there's some really great mini documentaries on YouTube above the Soviet internet of the 1960s, which would have taken over as the central planning committee and managed the supply and demand automatically. When you look at what it was supposed to be, and why it failed (a lot of people worked very hard to make sure it wouldn't succeed) it's really interesting stuff.

here's one I watched recently enough about it; [https://youtu.be/cLOD5f-q0as?si=D8mVJiK603HPdgKY](Asianometry - Why the Soviet Internet Failed)

I am not a search engine engineer.

Here are some things it might be though:

It could be that the results you see first are cached on their servers, and expiring from that cache between your searches. however usually when something requested is pulled from a cache, the items lifespan in the cache is usually refreshed so it lives a bit longer.

It could be that certain they are NOT cached at all, and certain sites are rate limiting the DDG crawler hitting them and returning info to you, so DDG takes them out of the results as they cannot confirm the site is alive. I noticed reddit disappeared from the results and we all know about Reddit and their APIs here.

It could also be their ranking algorithm for results is not as deterministic as they want it to be, it could also be that way by design. Page ranking is a closely guarded trade secret, especially at big places like Google. DDG results will never match 1:1 with Google. Personally, I prefer DDGs results to Google.

caps lock but that toggles itself off after a single character. it's made for people who have dexterity issues and cannot hold multiple keys at the same time.

Bobby is such a good character, the actress nailed it.

God damn I love communist propaganda art style. there used to be a subreddit for sharing it on reddit, is there anything similar on Lemmy?

There's a mod on the nexus, I forget the exact name but it should be easy enough to find, that makes it so that you have to jack in physically to some device in a network before you can use wireless quick hacks. It really adds an extra layer or challenge to hacking and I highly reccomend it.

That's a pretty common turn-of-phrase in Ireland, I remember hearing it in the early 90s!, and it's still common to hear it from older generations too. I wouldn't equate it with reddit slang/culture at all. I wonder when it made its way to reddit?
