My understanding of MTG rules is a bit rusty. Does “sacrifice” only apply to the player’s creatures in play? Or, could you target an opponent’s creature?

Two things:

1. see if your power provider offers an “equal pay” plan, where your payments are normalized over 12 months. This provides consistency.

2. Budget Budget Budget! Keep track of your monthly income and expenses, and plug this equal pay into it.

Often times your power company will let you do equal pay before having 12 months of usage history.

The one thing is that if you use more than you’re paying for, you have to pay the overage at the end of the 12-month cycle, AND your payments increase. So, don’t get used to leaving all the lights on!

On the flip side, if you use less, you’ll either get a refund or accumulate credits which will lower your next year’s payments.

My dad had the T-Mobile G1; if I recall, first ever commercial available Android phone!

That was handed down to me after a couple years. It has as much chill factor as it did nerd factor. People laughed and were amazed at the same time. I loved it, lol

As far as I understand;

A user is specific to one instance. In order to interact with the fediverse on that specific account, they need to log into that instance. If they’re banned from that instance, they cannot log in and interact with the rest of the fediverse.

There’s nothing stopping them from logging into an alt, whether on that same instance or on another instance.

My Pixel 7a nearly has this. The “Power” button by default does:

• Short Press: Sleep/Wake
• Long Press: Assistant

In order to actually get the power menu to pop up, you hold the power button + volume up. You can switch the behavior so that a long press can either be the assistant or the power menu, but otherwise not fully configurable. Feels like that would be an easy win to let us do whatever we want with it.

On Reddit, I was mainly subscribed to a few niche subreddits. By reddit’s standards, that’s still like 100k subscribers. But over here, even though there might be 1000 people subscribed to those same niche communities, the 90-9-1 rule still applies. Either the community has one super-spammy power user trying to boost life into the community, or there’s just no one actually posting anything.

I’m getting enough of a fix to stay on Lemmy and wade out the peace and quiet, but I do long for the engagement of 50k+ users on a truly niche topic. My willingness to stay on Lemmy has been helped by me starting to re-utilize off-site forums specifically to those niches. But I can totally understand how it just feels dead to a lot of the Reddit exodus.

I’ve had the original Pixel, the Pixel 4a 5G, and the Pixel 7a.

The only reason I ditched my 4a 5G was because my cell service seemed to be degrading (which was odd, because it was 5g).

Now that I have the 7a, I can honestly say I’m disappointed in its battery life. My 4a 5G could last 36 hours on a charge, even 3 years into ownership. My 7a seems to get down to 15% consistently by the time I get to bed each day.

That’s not a shower thought you braindead, try hard, complete waste of a human… Get off of here; there’s no room for idiots here. Reported.

JK, just thought I’d channel my inner rage-commenter for old times sake. Welcome 😄

I might be missing it, but is there a side-bar to view my subscribed communities? I think on old.reddit, there was a pop-out bar on the left side of the window (but that may have been from RES).

Actually, I see it in the options 😃

Endless Scrolling + Auto Load More

Holy christ, there’s no going back now, lol. This is BEAUTIFUL.

Is it possible to add infinite scrolling?

FYI to any GM who wants the best of both worlds; fudge the DC and roll out in the open. BBEG normally has a +9 to attack? Well, now he has a +2.

Still won’t save people from any super high rolls, but at least you can (secretly) decrease the risk while keeping tensions and attentions high.

Yes, posts and comments are upvoteable even even not subscribed to their community. Subscribing only affects what content you see when you filter your feed to “subscribed”.

I genuinely think this is the wrong decision (total content removal & inaccessibility). The best compromise would be to follow in the footsteps of WB and Disney, and offer the content is some sort of alternate repository with a disclosure. Something like “BWF is no longer associated with CR due to acts of domestic violence, but we’re still offering the content for archival purposes”.

No ads, perhaps not even any streaming. Maybe just download links, or official torrents, or something.

YIKES, I completely missed the news about him. What a bummer…

For me, it was the top google result for “Reddit Alternative”. There was a github post explaining the basics of Lemmy and essentially said if I wasn’t sure where to sign up, just head over to lemmy.world.

Now that I’m here I can safely say the interface feels like an improved old.reddit.com and am quite pleased.

The language setting appears to be it! I opened the post in chrome and selected English, and it worked!

Thanks 🙂

Testing 🤔

I don’t care about Karma, but to see a 0 after spending an hour on something means that it will not get seen (when I thought people would enjoy it). So in a way it invalidates my effort, and causes me to reevaluate what people would like to see (and, it seems my content may not be it).

lol fair enough. I guess shame on me for riding a meme bandwagon for educational purposes 😅
