My wife grew a person this winter, so I haven't been able to even clean out last years leftovers from my greenhouse yet, but two of my spice plants (not sure if it's the right term) has sprouted again on their own (Oregano and Chives) 🥳 And I started housing a grape last year that I hope has survived winter, just have to remember watering it and repot it if I can find the time for it. My mother will probably bring me some tomato and chili sprouts if I ask her, she always ends up with way too many of both 😅

Might be a long shot, but I've just started playing The Talos Principle 2 and remembered that I never got around to trying the free "Sigils of Elohim" game that was launched together with the first one. It seems like a neat game to play on my phone, but the only Play Store link I could find (here) seems to be taken down? Anyone know if it's available anywhere else and/or why it's not available anymore? I know there are lots of "Download APK free" sites around, but most of them seem really sketchy to me...

Not sure if I can give you specific advice, but I would say that your statement that her being naked around you is also a cultural "line" that's not written in stone. Now I'm assuming that you're from the US, I'm from a European country where many people don't have that line. While I don't have any step family of my own, I can say that I've seen and been around many of my in-laws naked without there being any issue. I also grew up in a family where we all saw each other naked all the time, and my wife have a stepfather who's seen her naked since she and her mom moved in with him when she was about 14. That being said, even in my country I know friends from other families where that would be considered weird, so I'm not trying to say your thinking is inherently wrong. Maybe you should start by discussing this with your partner to get their view on it?

Regarding Zelda, I would expected them to release an upgraded version of totk, since they often seem to release at least one Zelda game for two generations; TP was on GameCube and Wii, BotW was on Wii-U and Switch. Alternatively, a (super-expensive) 2-pack game with BotW+TotK including DLC?

That's true, I was just so baffled by how inconvenient and inefficient this suggestion was. I'm reminded of one of these photos, which I think have been used for many internet proposals/legislations in the past:

Probably, but in theory you would be able to take out in a fork. Inconvenient, but doable hopefully.

While I could see maybe the larger companies operating in France agreeing to implement this, I don't think they would be able to legally force a smaller foreign open source browser developer into the same practice? Take qutebrowser for instance, the developer is from Switzerland. Unless their website is hosted in France, I don't see how French law applies to him, nor the site he is hosting the browser on? They would have to use ISPs to block the website, but even then, you could still get it through GitHub. Maybe GitHub could be forced into removing the browser as Microsoft probably have a French office, but it still seems like a legal and practical nightmare to actually enforce this through the browser. As someone else mentioned, pushing rules on ISPs seems like a more doable thing if you WANT to oppress people (which I am also against of course).

I got a greenhouse from multiple family members as a combined birthday and Christmas present. Some plants like tomatoes and chili love it there. Some others die because of the heat. Others again love it too much and grow too quickly, becoming too long and thin to support their own weight.

Also, a "problem" I've had for the two years I've been trying to get some vegetables is being pessimistic about how many seeds will sprout and getting WAY too many. And once they've all happily sprouted I don't have the heart to throw them away, so I end up having a hard time finding enough space for everything. Luxury problem I know 😅

Windows+Visual Studio. I run them in a VM, and for a while managed to keep it at 50GB, but combine it with a moderately large hit repo and you can just give that up. And yes, I know vscode is a thing, but there always ends up being some legacy/COM/platform specific library that makes it non-compatible.

This one I hadn't heard about until now, do you have a link to some more information?

[-] nixnoodle@beehaw.org 20 points 1 year ago

Then I would definitely dig out my old eye-patch and captains hat again 🏴‍☠️

An alternative to self-hosting and piracy, if there's something you really want to watch, just buy a month, then immediately cancel the subscription to whatever service has that show, after all the episodes has aired. I usually spend between $30-$50 in total on streaming services in a year this way, and as a principle, I call it "buying a month" as opposed to "subscribing." Right now I'm waiting for Secret Wars to finish on Disney+. Will probably watch the last few MCU movies and some other stuff during the same month so that's probably up to 10 shows/movies for $whatever-a-month-goes-for these days. Might do a month of Netflix later in the autumn, as I have a few things I want to watch there now that didn't quite justify buying on their own. And no, I very rarely rewatch anything, so I don't really worry about loosing access to them in the future.
