Drop places.xhtml from the URL (leaving the rest) and it’ll show you the directory view. You can navigate around there. Keep in mind that clicking a xhtml will fail to render, you need to manually type the chrome:// path for whatever you want to poke at.

You can also type: about:about into the address bar to see the various about pages like about:processes

Counter: you’re killing the ones that like the taste of a human and thus they’ll evolve to avoid humans.

He has made his bank and has no major incentive to finish the series. It’s been 13 years, the guy is 76, and he’s supposedly got two books left to go.

My money is on Sanderson getting handed the notes after Martin dies and bringing the series to an unsatisfying conclusion because, at this point, nothing will be satisfying.

I’ve literally tied myself over with several series of Sanderson’s while waiting for the final book in the Kingkiller Chronicle series.

I guess there’s always the reassurance that Sanderson will probably pick up any major series that needs finishing haha.

What’s the state of the game right now? Is the AI working etc? I’ve been holding off until the game stabilises before I pick it up.

The stress of success, many eyes watching, and not publishing is less crushing than publishing a shit ending that ruins the trilogy and wipes out all interest in the first two books.

They might be wanting to build a proper desktop with RGB and all the jazz. While the Steam Deck does kick ass when plugged into a keyboard, mouse, and monitor, it’s not quite as impactful as a tower in terms of presence.

I use my Deck with the official dock all the time so I don’t disagree with Dindonmasker’s point that the value of a Deck is tremendous and a great alternative to building a tower.

Totally sincere. Here’s the original video posted on YouTube.

If you’re willing and comfortable to share why you went no contact, the context will help people give you more considered advice.

I can’t imagine the wave of feelings and memories getting that message from your father after all this time. I hope you find the right advice you need to support you through this.

I fully agree. I moved to sh.itjust.works and recommend others new to Lemmy to the instance specifically because they defederated with hexbear, lemmygrad, ~~and beehaw~~ (among others).

Defederation is a huge selling point of Lemmy over other services and I have had no negative experiences with other users thanks to instance admins who take the difficult choice to defederate. Imagine if The_Donald could have been blocked along with all of its users. The toxicity that leaked out everywhere from that community was painful. Defederation is that power, and it’s something incredibly positive for Lemmy instances and the users of that instance.

There’s nothing stopping people creating an account on those instances if there are communities there that they care about.

I hope your instance goes for it because it’ll have a wide reaching and positive impact on engagement and community growth when that small fraction of non-lurkers engage and have a positive experience, void of the toxicity that commonly stems from users of hexbear etc.

Edit: I confused Beehaw - they are a fine instance. Other commenters have noted Beehaw defederated with SJW, not the other way round, for different reasons.
