$11 million after Gaza was leveled in a deliberate act of genocide is chump change; Israel needs to be made to take meaningful steps in aiding in the establishment of a substantial Palestinian state that is equal—not subordinate—to it, able to make investments and build infrastructure of its own accord based ln the wishes and needs of the Palestinian people.

Next to ElementaryOS, similar is misspelled 'simillar'. I'll bookmark this since I plan on switching to Linux rather than to Windows 11. Out of curiosity, if SteamOS is ultimately just an immutable version of Arch Linux, is the immutability of SteamOS what classifies it as 'beginner-friendly'? In terms of usability, in my efforts to customize SteamOS on the Steam Deck, I found the immutability to be a severe detriment to the user's ability to install system packages to install basic functionality to replicate Windows features, such as Mint Stick (the only simple, GUI-based USB formatting tool I could find for Linux).

Just goes to show that Trump's statements about peace in Ukraine are pure theater, and nothing else.

Generative AI data center energy usage is environmentally wasteful and will just raise the cost of energy for regular consumers.

Nintendo opting to forgo selling retro games piecemeal and instead expecting consumers to rent access to them in perpetuity is an anti-consumer move.

I have no problem paying for games when they're sold at affordable, reasonable prices, so until that's the case for Nintendo's library, better to just emulate as much of it as possible.

Arctic (iOS and MacOS only, unfortunately) has built-in swipe actions for blocking and unblocking at the community and instance levels.

In addition to the standard federated community list, it also has a separate Lemmy community list that instead pulls its data from Lemmy Explorer. Since this instance doesn't use Lemmy Federate, it's both a useful means of finding communities that aren't federated to this one yet, and also a useful means of blocking any uninteresting or otherwise unwanted ones. You can then have it filter out communities you've blocked, to avoid having to scroll past them again after.

Took some time to decide which communities I did or didn't want, but down to 992 unblocked communities now, or hopefully 988-ish if instance-blocked ones can filtered out too.

Not a common suggestion, but the Scrabble PS1 port holds up surprisingly well, all the more so for how few Scrabble video games there are.

What an isolationist asshole.

"And reduce the surplus population" -Scrooge

the idea that Israel was 'waiting for Trump' is ridiculous

I disagree; Netanyahu wants to settle the rest of Palestine, and Trump's actions demonstrate that he is far and away more in favor of that than Biden or Harris ever were or would have been if re-elected themselves.

Regardless of whether we agree or not, the point of my post here was to emphasize that disagreement should not in and of itself be the basis for a moderator to ban someone from a community.

Stremio comes with a few addons for content navigation by default, but to actually watch most things within Stremio itself, the unofficial Torrentio addon is needed. There's other content addons too, but Torrentio seems to work the best.

Torrentio itself needs a debrid service API key to function, with Real-Debrid being the cheapest at about $3 a month.

Black Flag was the first one I played. As a result I then played Rogue and 3, then tried 2, which seemed mechanically a bit outdated (might try it again; just wish its health UI were more like Black Flag's), so played Unity instead. Still have to try Syndicate, which seems to still be mechanically similar enough to the original formula to be interesting.

Played Origins past the first boss fight, but stopped since it no longer felt like an Assassin's Creed game. Odyssey and Valhalla appear to replicate the Origins formula, so skipped them altogether. Might try Mirage at some point, given its lack of the RPG mechanics of the prior three games, but probably won't get Shadows due to it seemingly returning in part to the RPG formula.
