My understanding is this. Let’s say Valve accepted crypto payments. If they did, they wouldn’t need to go through middlemen payment processors like Visa and Mastercard that can use their influence to dictate what games can and can’t be published on Steam.
But yeah the way it works in practice seems to make crypto a commodity, not a currency.
How do you know! Have you tried it?
Not after this we won’t.
The Queen of Shitty Robots herself designed a chair for exactly this purpose!
edit: i believe it’s out of kickstarter now.
Hence the last bit of my post.
Good thing most of us are idiots and always assume something terrible is just around the corner… right? oh god please just let it be us being idiots.
hey that looks really interesting, thanks for sharing. will keep an eye on development for sure!
Because people prefer convenience to privacy and accessibility, I guess? If there was an easy way to scrape/crawl discord data I would be hoarding everything I could to repost on lemmy or something but AFAIK there are no easily automated ways to access it.
What I’m upset about is the absolute wealth of information that will be forever trapped behind Discord. What ever happened to good old fashioned forums? Hell, even a subreddit would at least have been scrapable. If there’s a mass migration away from Discord then all that information just gets lost. Example that Lemmings might care about - CachyOS has a forum, but I’ve seen the vast majority of troubleshooting and user input made on their Discord channel.
Well, at least I don’t have to talk about it as much as I have to update the dang thing.
Didn’t even think of this, now it’s even funnier. For context, the picture is Sergeant James Doakes from the show Dexter - the only member of the Miami police who thought there was something off about Dexter.
One of the only times I’ve been “happy” that I’m 40, overweight, and barred from re-enlistment/IRR/drafts.
It sounds like you’ve done what you can, other than maybe leaving another blanket out there until its warm enough for her to decide to leave.
Awww I hope she found some critters to eat or something. Cats aren’t supposed to go more than a couple days without food. She might need a vet checkup if you do adopt her!
I was very off lmao, it’s like 300mg daily not 3000. And yeah it’s aspirin. https://www.npr.org/sections/shots-health-news/2026/01/02/nx-s1-5665112/trump-aspirin-325-81-mg-low-dose-cardiac-stroke-heart-attack-bleeding
I honestly can’t tell what’s satire with him anymore so forgive me if this was a joke, but I saw a quote where he said he takes like 3,000mg of tylenol daily, against his doctor’s advice, to keep his blood thin because “who would want thick blood?”
Nearly 7 feet tall? JFC. Send that kid on a USO tour so the troops can check out the freak and at least get a good laugh.
I’ve heard that Zapp was meant to be a spoof of William Shatner/Kirk but he really shares so many unfortunate characteristics with Trump. He even has the crappy taste! “Leela, it’s real velour!”
definitely less annoying than a burnt down house
yeah, i have 32gb and it still feels excessive. even with plex, firefox, steam and discord going i’m only at 8 gigs of usage. all i do on my desktop is game though, i have a server for virtualization and stuff.
