I'm personally deeply skeptical, even if it's from one of the most secure companies I would have a heart attack if I hear it's hacked.

I personally just use pen and paper, two copies, and try to do variations or new passwords for things I care about and then one common password for useless things with no credit card info.

Disco Elysium at 75% off is a steal!

Also, Kingdom Come Deliverance, 75% off and rven cheaper than Disco Elysium. This one is hands down one of the best modern rpg games I have played, especially because you can play without the minimap relying on directions given by NPCs, it is so inmersive and it has a plethora of interesting mechanics and an amazingly beautiful world.

I do some

1. Half life alyx, 60% discount. More than the game itself I find the mods to be really impressive. Of course the main game is cool, and because it's a prequel you don't really need to have played previous hapf life titles.
2. Into the radious, 40%. One of my favorite vr games. Its a survival, based on the stalker games. The game is slow, methodical, the weapons are satisfying, it forces you to think ypur approach and navigating the world with a map that doesn't show you where you are is really cool and immersive.
3. Superhot vr, 60%. Although be warned that if I were you I would pirate it, the devs removed some suicide related scenes that were cool to play from the game, which you can still play if you were to download an older version. If you don't mind that, then by all means buy it, it is one of the best introductory vr games after all
4. Walkabout minigolf, 50%. If you are getting a single game of what I recommend PLEASE BUY THIS ONE. It is one of the best games I played on vr, playing minigolf is so damn fun. You barely need space on your room and there is a big skill curve to learn the game, maybe I liked it this much because I had never played minigolf, but the game feels genius to me.
5. In death, 50%. It is a game where you are an archer and you have to battle through procedurally generated levels, also you move by shooting specific arrows or a dagger you can throw, it is really an intense game.

If you have a steering wheel consider getting dirt rally 2 and Asseto Corsa (the original one)

It is a shame that beat saber (hands down the best and most addictive vr game out there) is not discounted.

Have you considered making an account there (or on a non blocked lemmy instance), especially with how most apps I've used allow for multiple accounts and changing with two taps I don't think there is much reason not tp make an account in the meantime.

Agree with the sentiment, I don't need it nor is it my thing, I prefer to be the one that has to do the blocking rather than mods, but I can see why it's there.

I hate when people try to do safe spaces and some outsider looks at it and starts staying it's authoritarian, an echo chamber, propaganda, power hungry admins, etc. Like, dude if there is a group of people that want to be protected from certain rethoric, it's pathetic to act with indignation just because the don't want everyone to interact. Not every community is about fitting everyone and being neutral, as long as they are transparent with it let them have their place in peace.

Stability would be fixed if people realized they don't have to all join the biggest two communities, which is part of the education problem we have right now for completely new users.

Although servers have really been scaling nicely regardless of those days right after the privating and then July 1st

For anyone interested, they explained the reasoning behind this particular defederation here:

https://docs.beehaw.org/docs/important-questions-decisions-and-reflections/on-defederation/

At the end of the day beehaw wants to be tightly moderated and it's kind of imposible to properly moderate huge amounts of users at the moment with their tools so they decided to ban big instances that don't require any verification to join

Wait you could log in to a lemmy instance from a mastodon client? Or did you talke that picture from a Mastodon account?

Having said that this is the closest thing I've seen to what I want, only problem being that I would need to use a Mastodon UI which doesnt have downvotes.

Also unrelated, but this is the first time I encounter an image on the comments.

Problem is I haven't coded a single thing in my life, while I could technically made something I much prefer using something already made by someone who knows what he is doing

I will try to seaech what you say to see if I can do something quickly, but I will probably surrender if it's not just replicating an online tutorial.

Nope, sorry. I'm not talking about private message (dm's if you will) but instead about notes.

Notes is a little thing you write under someone's profile so that you, privately, xan remember said person.

Tongive you an example, let's say we interacted in a post about international politics and you mentioned you are from Zimbabwe. I could add a note to your profile saying something like "from Zimbabwe", you could not see this note as it would be for myself to cechk if I ever interact with you again.

Many other social media has this features, in discord I use it to check when people change usernames, in mastodon just to remember people, heck even in league og legends ypu can add notes to profiles in game which I use to remember friends of friends when I play with one.

I don't know why wouldn't they be private, in mastodon only you can see the notes. It could be made so that they are stored locally or by instances but encrypted

But I agree a plugin would be ideal, but as I have 0 programming knowledge I'm asking in case one exists.

You realize the downvotes came from your comments and not the post itself right?

You made the shittiest attack helicopter joke I've seen in a while

Also it literally goes against this community rules and the instance as a whole, wonder why you are still allowed to post.

Go join truth social or some other alt right fork instead of waisting everyone's time

I mean, being a weeb is not synonymous with loli stuff, especially nowadays where anime and manga have become so mainstream.

But I don't believe even for a second the narrative of "now that the good guys are off, reddit has decayed to the point anime fans are clamouring for loli" they already were, since the beginning, it is a constant and unavoidable "issue" (in the sense of controversial) in anime communities, always was and probably always will be.

Heck I remember one of the main mods of r/animemes posting loli on other subs, so it isn't like the people that directed the subs had much problem with it, it was just part of the rules they had to enforce due to multiple reasons (people not wanting to see that, it being a meme community, reddit rules over all, etc)

One of his main talking points it's how we are all living on the matrix and you have to deprogram yourself, of course he sells courses on how to do exactly that!

It is one of those things when scam artists poke at general sentiment but actually their message has 0 substance, similar to when alt righters say that cultural marxists have taken over. It means nothing but they love to play the underdog to some nefarious force, pretending to resist which is the way they use to justify why their ideas are so frowned upon on today's society.

This comment reeks of bad faith.

So you don't care of what pronouns they choose? You literally don't know them irl, you would have 0 information of what their gender is to call them anything but "they" if they don't put their pronouns. Assuming everyone is a man is unhelpful nowadays.

Even if you were a right winger immersed so far in the culture war you are unable to recognize the idea of gender as separate from sex and thus denying people determining their own pronouns, you still wouldn't know what someone is. But if that is frankly your position it would be better you stay away from that place since you would be exactly the kind of people they have to moderate so heavily against

While I do find it funny to have pronouns in a semi-anonymous community, the reason has to do with the community they want to build, especially it being on the progressive side of culture, here is an expert from their mission statement:

As a news aggregator and a social media outlet, with a focus on being a safe and accepting space, we strive to create a positive social impact. We will also help to connect underprivileged and minority individuals with education and civic participation by promoting a healthier online experience.

Aside from that I feel it's common modern internet etiquette to have your pronouns available, and while I do find it funny to have when you are technically anonymous it probably makes communication easier and helps erase the internet bias of thinking every single persin you meet is a man.

Edit: now this was an unexpected turn of events, I didn't expect OP to be this much of an imbecile.

Jokes aside, I quickly scrolled the anime subs I used to frequent (by hot and then top daily and top weekly) and I didn't really see noticeable change, maybe I missed a big discussion that happened during protests since I stopped using reddit since then, but I don't really see what you described.

And before the protests there was already the occasional pro loli post, of course it wasn't a flood that's why I went to check.

Maybe it's something present on smaller subs?

Anime subs are flooded with pervs openly sexualizing children and calling for porn.

So... Pretty much the same as before July 1st /s

Can you block your users from following instances? This looks like a serious problem if it were not possible to regulate.

Common law legislations also have piracy laws? I would rather say it's more of a western kind of affair, since a lot of countries in the east + africa (especially underdeveloped or that only recently developed) have yet to sign international treaties on enforcing piracy law.

Having the law is one thing, but of course most countries that aren't on western europe or North America barely enforce piracy laws. (For example look at the entirety of south america, where official huge bus companies will just play pirated movies on the screens)
