I’m definitely curious. Browser-switching is annoyingly mentally difficult, though. I keep bouncing between Arc and Firefox, so maybe this is the perfect marriage.

The aprons keep it nice and sturdy. Although now I'm at work and wondering if I added a stretcher along the bottom lengthwise… I can't recall.

I made this design from Matthias Wandel a few years back, and it has served me well. I had a big piece of laminated MDF that someone left in the garage after we bought our house -- perfect for the top. I do with that I had something heavier for when I need to whack a chisel or do some ripping with a handsaw, though.

 

I haven't donated money, but I can confirm that the messages are constant and very pleading in tone. Honestly they turn me off from donating at all.

Yeah, I gave up on Duolingo. I joined a Japanese-English Discord server and feel like my actual conversation skills have gone way up. I'm happy to share the invite link, but I don't want to seem spammy, so I'll post it if anyone requests.

Crosscode was such a delight. I found the story surprisingly compelling.

I teach high school, and it’s so hard to get students to pay attention, even with fun engaging projects. The reality is that these social apps are designed to be addictive, and it’s not a fair contest.

Ideally, we want a society in which real estate doesn’t need to be a store of wealth because we have strong social safety systems. I don’t blame an individual with difficult circumstances for playing the game to take care of their family (to an extent).

No but when I tried to change Mastodon servers, I was frustrated to learn that I could carry over my followers but nothing else. The platform highlighted "easy mobility," but I found that to be misleading.

I think the biggest problem that Mastodon et. al need to solve is changing servers/accounts. There needs to be an easy way to move servers while retaining past posts, etc.

One of my students has been begging me to buy Ultrakill since last year, and I keep saying no just to spite him. Maybe I'll finally give it a try!

I’ve been excited for this game since the original trailer (I think it was a Nintendo direct). I have a few games to finish first, then I’ll get this.

OK - I thought this was the case, but wasn’t sure. At any rate, a microSD card is a good purchase (but that’s true for all of these handhelds).

 

My friend and I were discussing this over the weekend. Games are inherently different than movies, books, and music. They’re tied to specific hardware and operating systems that may not be available anymore.

I argue that if a game is no longer legally purchasable from the publishers or developer, it should be legally permitted to pirate it. Even EA agrees! They do not pursue copyright claims against LOTR games, as they lost the publishing license from New Line Cinemas years ago.

 

I just wanted to share this since it can sometimes be hard to find communities on other servers. It’s still picking up steam (ha ha), but growing!

 

First of all, that final battle was a wild ride! One of the phases took me a minute to figure out, but it was so much fun, and really connected with some of the unique themes of this entry.

I didn’t get nearly as close to 100% as I did in BotW. In the first game, I did every shrine and all of the side quests, but there is just so much more content to this game. I worried that if I tried to complete everything before the final battle, the game would overstay its welcome, and I would finish with a feeling of “just get it over with.”

I’ve actually found that sentiment to be true with a lot of larger games recently. I want to end on a high emotional note, even if it means completing less side content.

For those who are interested in building iOS apps for Lemmy, I found really nice package for interfacing with the API. I’ve been playing around with it, and it’s very easy to use!
