Best to do it once you move out so they cannot retaliate. When I lived in Ireland none of my many landlords was registered. Not a single one. So I reported all of them except for one (who gave me the place overnight when a homophobic landlord kicked me out, also overnight). I hope they're all registered now and strengthening the economy with the hard labour of owning necessities, refusing to release them to those who need them and scalping the prices. 💪

The asus case arrived and it's huge. I hoped to size down (don't have any measuring tools) but it's as big as my current one. I'm very uncomfortable and would love to return it but cannot find a replacement. Should I keep it? I hate: -branding -RGB -wasted space (I've no HDD, disk drive etc so I only need cpu, mobo, psu and gpu spaces)

How did it go? I'm so tempted to when I'm freshly shaven but then the stubble comes back and I feel like I'll look like a fool once it does. 😮‍💨

My joints hurt and I'm constantly sleepy. There's far more but I don't want to go into detail. I need my medicine for my body to stop hurting. I moved countries and instead of being forwarded to the doctor I need I was forwarded to a specific clinic and apparently they don't accept new patients anymore and don't even have the doctor I need. I'm confused and tired. I don't speak the local language. I was fine scheduling a visit with the doctor because it allowed me to seek doctors who speak English but he forwarded me to a hospital which doesn't have any online stuff. I'll try to call tomorrow but expect them not to speak English. I was happy to finally have healthcare coverage but now I'm angry I'm forced to pay hundreds a month and cannot even receive the help I need. I'm sad. I technically can buy people reselling their medicine but I'm scared it might be too old, spiked or else. And just don't have the money nor will to do stuff like this. I hate this. :(

I'm curious about your stories. In my other thread about thinking of moving to Japan because of their population decline people suggested communist countries. I personally don't consider it at the moment because, to my knowledge, they have a stable population growth so my housing issue wouldn't be easier to resolve. Nevertheless, I'm eager to listen to your stories. :)

If you go to Reddit, you will still see their ads, be they obvious or hidden through disguising as user interaction (bots are more or less obvious, AI is at the stage where they can fake users). You drive engagement and site traffic. The only way to do anything disadvantegous to Reddit is to stop going to Reddit (if you also delete all your content they have less things to put inbetween ads for the remaining users). You are the product they offer to advertisers, be it through being the buyer for advertised things or providing content to put between the ads so the users who may buy those things don't only see ads. Your enjoyment of the platform is largely if not completely irrelevant from the corporate standpoint. If anything, your disgruntlement can make you engage more providing them with more content to put between ads.

No idea if my posts may be recognizable yet so a short intro: I'm perceived as a foreigner everywhere I go my entire life and have no attachments anywhere. Finding housing is hell due to the anti foreigner prejudice. I moved countries three times in the past three years because of this and I'm struggling again so I'm escaping the situation by thinking of the potential future solutions. I keep hearing about the Japanese decreasing population so I was thinking maybe it would be viable to look into jobs there eventually. I was wondering how it went for you or if you fantasize of it or plan to do so yourself. I just aim to someday live where my contribution to the society is more valuable than the prejudice against me not being a local and places with considerable negative birth rate feels like the most sensible choice.

Mine is the Bloom from Torment: Tides of Numenera. I love the fleshy bits. I love the everyday gruesome horror becoming an everyday thing for the people who live there. I love the literally organic surroundings. It's just by far my favorite location in any game ever. :)

It touches on a very interesting topic which is colonialism and I think it does a fair justice of portraying the moral issues of such. As a lifelong foreigner I also appreciate how it portrays characters reacting to you as such and how much they demand to give you a chance at being perceived as acceptable even if you haven't done anything wrong and merely aren't a local, a topic close to me. Again, it's slightly buggy and I managed to break it but then I managed to unbreak it and didn't lose any content. It's an enjoyable journey I hope more people can appreciate. :)

I hope you get to play it if you didn't. If you have VR, their VR title ties into the world in an extremely special way: (spoiler) the protagonist becomes the final boss in Revenant. You get to make a decision affecting your world and even your world will have bosses you may otherwise not have depending on how it generated and some you may never see if you don't replay or opt to help someone. It's a really great punishing gun fun game with a really cool world. It has some roughness with the character creation but you can simply cover yourself in armor and forget of it. I hope you get to love it even half as much as I did. :)

I'll admit I never got into Wastelands. The world doesn't appeal to me. But I see people occasionally speak of the games but the studio made Torment: Tides of Numenera which I loved dearly and literally never ever seen spoken of. It's a really good game which is waiting for you to discover it!

It's one of the best RPGs there are. The choices actually matter a lot. I'm really sad there's no part two and now online algorithms are reminding me of it so I want you to know of it too!

I even generated apologies for initially reaching out to them in English (I know they speak English). It also updated my surname on the applications to my new one (I was previously mistaken for a Russian). I feel bad because chatGPT has the power of algorithm to make better responses than a human does so it feels unfair but I don't want to go homeless so there's that. Best of luck to all my fellow non-locals, locals perceived as non-locals and all other people struggling with housing. I plan to get a portrait of Mao Zedong to hang in my flat if I find housing.

The longer I use Lemmy the more I run into posting on places where my posts will never reach anyone apart from my own instance. And then there's a growing amount of communities which display normally for me but if I actually open them it shows they were deleted. We desperately need a way to make them send information to all instances which used their information to remove it as it got deleted. Or a signal from an instance to other instances and their communities essentially asking them if they're still federated/existing. Of course not frequent, that'd waste resources. But happening enough not to make people lose time screaming into the abyss. Not to mention the utter waste of server space keeping content which cannot be used... :(

To my knowledge for a community to show in [All] at all someone from your server has to had looked it up. So I used the feddit communities catalog to opt us into all the cat communities. No need to thank me. Sorry if it kills our instance. ;_;

I would've expected blahaj to be queer central but it doesn't seem all that active which makes me sad. I want more rainbow in my life. :c

I have nothing against hobbyists moderating their tiny little corners but the vast majority of Reddit isn't it. Reddit demands more and more income out of the heaps of unpaid labour they've been thriving off of with little respect for the people who got them where they are. For me an ideal outcome would be Reddit paying for moderation of all subreddits of any notable size (unless they're corpo-owned too - then it's up to them). I would be over the moon if this turned into people questioning why Reddit is dictating things like this while profiting from unpaid moderators (if you get someone's labour worth AND don't even pay them that's an absolutely insane profit).

I personally deleted my account and don't even browse unless I need to for work. I'm happy to see people still deleting their content and deleting their accounts.

Reddit has been taking from their community and in spite of having the insane set up where they don't even have to pay for the moderation they push against the comfort of the community. It's time they pay. Literally.

I am deadset on not having 32bit libraries outside of a sandbox on my PC. I'm supposed to get a refund on all faulty PC parts I had so I ordered new ones and once they arrive, I will have a fresh system. I used flatpak Steam on my current system and it had no access to my download folder which I found slightly irritating. What would be better on Arch for Steam only: Snap or Flatpak? I am now partial to trying Snap but I figured I'll ask in case anyone has any great/terrible experiences to share. c:

I uploaded the screenshot picturing the issue. If I'm not mistaken, the posts are from a year ago as well. I haven't found any bug reporting community when I looked up bug so pardon me for posting this here if it should go elsewhere.

Pls downvote me so I can experience the public shaming I feel I need.

Why? I always only own one pair and wear it down. My pair at the time decided the top wanted to part ways with the sole so it did so I needed a new pair. The one I bought looked normal on the small photo I saw online on the website with a major sale (I paid 20 euros for the shoes, the normal price was 150 I reckon). I didn't filter by material and didn't see it saying it's not not body parts. They make my feet hurt so I need to buy new anyway. I feel bad and need therapeutic downvotes. I will appreciate your cooperation.
