I’ve noticed that every different social media medium/site has its own Eternal September moment. I think, optimistically, that we’re still before that point. If we get popular and the general population arrives, it’ll also attract the predatory ecosystem of state actors and corporate bullshit.

I think Lemmy and the Fediverse in general is resistant to that, but not immune. I expect an effort to create One Big Instance that most people use, or an oligarchy of large instances working together, like Microsoft and Gmail and co do with email.

I’ll have to look for that. Probably not at our regular market but there is a south American specialty store across the street that I have neglected.

Soak rice overnight. Add riceand water, milk, cinnamon, vanilla, sugar, to blender . Blend. Strain. Serve over ice, or not.

The American beer you get in Canada is terrible. Budweiser and Miller and shit like that. American beer at an American pub was great, when I last visited.

Sounds like isekai.

As well as owning the board itself and being able to change the rules. It’s a sucker’s game to fight on a battlefield controlled by the enemy without overwhelming advantage.

Great with vinegar too.

For clarity I use semi for 2x a period and bi for every two periods. I think everyone should. :)

I make sourdough bread biweekly-ish. Freezing it (after it’s had a 24-36 hour curing period) is fine. Toasts right back up.

Swearing an oath “in vain” is not allowed. Ie, don’t swear in the holy name and then go back on your word. As I understand it. That would be the mortal sin.

At one point I rebuilt a server by fully abandoning the package database and reinstalling everything as overwrites. Converted a slackware install into a Debian install in situ by cannibalizing it from the inside out. Pretty proud of that one, even 20 years later.

edit: oh gods… more like 24.

Debian stable, I guess, has both people sleeping on cruise control. Fine until it stops being fine, and then a flurry of activity.

Edit: or maybe a train. Boring, except for updates and dist upgrades.

It runs perfectly under Proton via the Steam runtime for me. Genuinely- maybe try Linux?

So, they ignore Canada and refuse to support the people there. Greaaat.

It helps that he puts references to previous comics at the bottom of each. A few rabbitholes down the archives and you might find it funny!

Sluggy is still going! It’s a bit weird with convoluted lore though.

I’m okay with it as long as it’s not locked to the exclusive use of one entity.

Bíum bíum bambaló, Icelandic song. Lullaby.

Yeah. This is a plot point used in a few stories, eg Carl Sagan’s “Contact”

The Long Dark. Something about wandering an icy wasteland scavenging, hunting, fishing, works for me.
