RPGs gave me an unrealistic expectation of a friend group of 6-8 adults who always have time for each other in c/showerthoughts@sh.itjust.works

An endorsement for group housing!

While it's got downsides, I'd say the rpg life happens a bit more of you've got 6-8 people living under one roof (or across 6 tents, three neighboring houses, etc)

Unciv (open-source android/desktop 4x game) 4.17 release! in c/games@lemmy.world
[–] Artisian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Kozy asked for a different rule set; essentially changing a few numbers related to non-combat victory (shorter research times, lower policy points required, etc). Identifying these numbers in a complicated code base, especially for a non-programmer, could be very difficult. For the non-programmer, understanding how the code works isn't very important. You just need to know what to change, and perhaps make sure you don't change more.

I think this is exactly a case where getting a novice programming friend to make a mod would make sense. Equivalently, to vibe code.

This is making a classic media literacy mistake.

The argument being made is that we can disregard the source if the thing that the headline is about is a real phenomena, regardless of if the actual anecdote is true. I don't think you can ever disregard the source; we should always ask who told this story and why.

Also, OP definitely made a choice providing this url instead of another. Sensationalist headline? Mistake on their part? Lack of English language alternative?

That sounds like something easily modded; like a couple of integers somewhere. It would be cool to do (and seems vibe-code accessible if a model can hold the full script in context?)

Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

You can be selective with this power; works well for a lot of folks. Have a smallish in group where you're always upstanding, enjoy all the benefits that our tribal brain craves, and also enjoy the material benefits.

71% of Americans say the US should spend more on "assistance to the poor". But if you use the word "welfare" that number drops to 30% in c/progressivepolitics@lemmy.world

I hear this, and also some flavor of people gaming the system.

I don't like that I hear these things. But something definitely weaseled its way in.

Its likely a very large percentage of people would choose to have been born earlier than they were if given the choice. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

Some folks would have easier access to their drugs though. Pre war on drugs might have some benefits

Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Needing to go through and disable all the stuff sounds like managing bloat to me, no?

I'm personally angry that we have ads on the default minesweeper and solitaire. Gross

Road fatalities per 100,000 population in major US States, Australian States and Canadian Provinces in c/mildlyinteresting@lemmy.world
[–] Artisian@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think it's kinda interesting still, in that it shows people are (must?) drive so much. But yes, agree that per cap seems like the wrong statistic for any kind of safety.

Maybe more fair would be transit fatalities per mile traveled (any method)?

Do I recall correctly that character dot ai is private weights/prompt?

If so, reminder that said digital crush can be changed drastically/taken away/broken irrecoverably at any point. Not your model, not your man.

Medlife Crisis: Should Doctors Help People End Their Lives? (youtu.be)
 

Policy video on assisted dying by a UK doctor. Youtube has decided not to promote it as an intense topic, so I'm putting it here.

FWIW, I don't think the video will be particularly triggering. It's heavy, but they are quite focused on the case of physiologically terminally ill patients.

Good multiplayer games for 3 people (lemmy.world)
 

What are some excellent games that remain excellent for a group of three?

So many multiplayer game lists include games that are only playable for 2 players (eg, It takes 2, portal 2). Best I could figure out in steam store search was to look for multiplayer games that aren't co-op, but this seems to remove many games that support 3 players.

Kitty Pryde 20x "Can't Do!" (lemmy.world)
 

Just played a game and saw a weird bug - I loki'd their kitty pryde while mobius and quinjet was around. After it got pulled back to my hand it gave the 'Can't Do!' popup throughout the ending location effects and next draw/turn. Stopped after... a lot of pop-ups.

What RSS feed manager do you recommend and why? (lemmy.world)
 

I've recently wanted a more programmable one, as my work recently broke the shared calendar (but haven't broke the rss feed for it, yet!). Suggestions?

How best to control No Man's Sky? (lemmy.world)
 

Should I be using a controller, a keyboard, or something else? I heard that it was developed for PC, has that remained the better UI?

What are electrolytes? (lemmy.world)
 

I know gator-aid and its like advertise that they have lots of them. And I know sometimes I feel bad if I sweat a lot and just drink water. But are they just advertising... salt? Are there different kinds of electrolytes, and if so are they interchangable?

An open letter regarding MathFest in Florida (inclusionexclusion.org)
 

This years MAA MathFest is in Tampa Florida, which is not a good place to be LGBTQIA+. The linked open letter asks the organizers to provide an online option, and be more honest in their messaging.

General tips for which clothes can be machine washed? (lemmy.world)
 

I've got an old trench coat that really needs cleaned, but the tag has frayed/fallen off/lost all text, and I can't remember if it's machine washable.

In case I run into similar troubles, are there any good actionable rules to use here? Thanks!

Open source Math exchange alternative (math.codidact.com)
 

Recently noticed this open source math exchange-like site. The community is pretty slow (seems like there's lots of people interested in answering questions, but not so many posting them), which may make it a good target if you've got a good question that isn't getting the attention you'd like.

Curious if anybody knows other alternatives.

Can't see many posts while logged in (lemmy.world)
 

I cannot view many (most?) posts on Lemmy.world while I'm logged into my account. Logging out makes them visible. Issue persists across browsers (FF and chrome).

My best guess is that I've somehow messed with the allowed languages setting? But I don't see how to 'reselect' Undetermined in languages, or otherwise reset the settings.

In particular, I can't seem to see posts in the (local?) ELI5 community: https://lemmy.world/c/explainlikeimfive while I'm logged in?

Good news! Jilanico found the fix, go into your profile settings and make sure both english and undetermined are selected (I had to ctrl+click them, they were both highlighted blue when I clicked save settings)
