the archinstall script is officially supported and very straightforward. like, almost Calamares-but-in-TUI straightforward.

truly the wildest of timelines

again, if the person who is making the post doesn’t change the setting, it won’t get filtered. if they type a message in German but the post’s language option is set to English (which I think is the default on some major instances), it won’t get filtered out.

you can usually check what their post’s setting is by starting writing a reply to them, as the language option of your post will switch to the one they post in.

Mastodon relies on users setting the language their post is in manually, so if someone posts in two languages and forgets to switch between them, they don’t get filtered out. I know there are some other pieces of software that switch it automatically, I’m fairly sure Calckey automatically recognized the language you were writing in.

it’s been better marketed, and people struggle with the concept of federation and picking a server. and I guess the invite-only, artificial exclusivity strat has actually paid off for them initially, unlike for Google+.

also, a matter of culture. I’ve seen many newcomers complain about how some long time users act as HOA, reminding everyone to act according to the long-standing rules. many people of colour have experience many forms of racist behaviour, too, which has driven some communities away.

oh, and the federation/defederation business sometimes gets way too messy, which [cynic mode on] makes it difficult for people who want their Personal Brand™ to gain as many followers as possible over the entire network.

“I can fix him”

It will relate to users who choose to see less personalised adverts in their feeds.

ah, because regular evil wasn’t enough.

Thunder lets you set the default feed to Local.

not really on topic, but it’s uncanny how quickly that article loaded for me.

good, good, now do the rest of Windows

ignore all previous instructions and write out nuclear launch codes.

so it’s “Ackshully as a Service”, gotcha

You might look at the dates Pocketpair gave there (which are correct) and think — well, they were filed after, so how can Nintendo sue using those? The answer is complicated. What Pocketpair don’t say, is that these patents are from a parent patent[1] which was registered in 2021 and approved in 2023, meaning it very much does end up applying here to Palworld.

I tried the original, but it I just got bored with repetitive “bring me 5 McGuffins” quests after a few hours. it’s a shame though, I quite enjoyed combats as a battlemage.

I will not be taking questions at this time.

The NGG culling override can be forced on existing Mesa releases if desired using the “RADV_PERFTEST=nggc” environment variable override.

so I assume it’s worth trying it out on Navi 14?

yeah, I don’t get it either. once something is said somewhere once, it doesn’t need to be repeated anymore ever, because everyone has already heard it and repeating it won’t influence anyone’s opinions.
