Oh gods, no. That thing is...
Evolving it doesn't make it any better, either.
I've been explaining it as countries/international travel. Lemmy is a country, Mastodon is a country, you can travel freely between them but you need a passport. Each service has it's own government whose rules you have to abide. Lemmy instances are like states (or provinces or what have you), where you can just... freely travel between them. Each instance has it's own local government whose rules you have to abide. Communities are like cities/towns, with their own small local government whose rules you have to abide... etc, etc.
You can have multiple emails with them, you simply can't be signed in to more than one at a time without their premium plan. Think like Google with it's account swither. Multiple accounts can be logged in and you can hot-swap between them without having to re-login every time. That's the premium feature for Proton mail.
Strong choices all around. Dark type is definitely in my top five, and I love Mightyena. I think it's easy to sleep on, since you get access to Poochyena literally right out of the gate, but it's a seriously tough Pokémon.
They can be dual-typed, but at least one of those has to match the type you choose. What type are you choosing, and what's your team look like?
I would have to choose Bug-type, of course. Team composition would be Galvantula, Yanmega, Heracross, Centiskorch, Genesect, and Rabsca. As to why... I just like 'em, lol. I'm not much of a competitive player. What would your team/type be?
What's the best way to catch up on the story of WoW? In-game, preferably. I finished up in Zandalar and now I'm in Nazjatar and... Who the hell is MOTHER? Why is there a big-ass sword jammed into Silithus? I feel like the 0-to-hero path thru Zandalar skipped... A lot of steps. So what's the best way for me to play catch-up?
EDIT: For reference, before this year the last time I seriously played WoW was WotLK.
There definitely is a DM system in Lemmy. From the website, if you click on a user there's a "Send Message" option, and your notifications has a Messages section. I just don't think it's implemented in Jerboa.
I had such high hopes for them, I really did. Then after everything with the C1 iPad app, and leading in Linux users for so long only to try and erase the conversation from existence... 😅
I do really love their software, though. More than any other photo editing app I've used. Something about the workflow just clicks for me, and if they released a Linux client tomorrow I'd buy a new license on the spot. Not if they decided to go the Way of the Subscription, though. I'm so tired of subscriptions...
I... I never even considered that approach. I always start with the 3x3 blocks, figuring out what numbers are missing and where they might fit. If I get stumped working blocks, I move on to rows and then columns last.
Not so much looking for tips as I am just seeing what everyone else does. I love sudoku puzzles. I don't think I'm necessarily good at them, but I do enjoy them on the reg, lol.
Thanks for the link, though! I'll keep it in mind.
Wait, you start by trying to find anywhere you can place a 1, then once you've got those you move to 2's and so on and so forth? Like... Just looking at the whole board? You don't break it down and work by sections?
When you first crack open a new sudoku puzzle, do you look at the rows or columns first? Or do you work in blocks? What's your strategy?
Soul Calibur is my jam. That, and Mortal Kombat. Never played competitively, I'm not that good. Just good enough to beat all my friends, lol.
Absolutely trash at Smash, though. I don't think I've ever won a single game.
Finding a good photo editing software has been the biggest hurdle for me in using Linux daily. I used to run a dual-boot with Win10 and Linux, but it's been a few years since then and I still haven't found anything I really like using as much as I do CaptureOne. 🥲
100% OpenSUSE Tumbleweed now, and I won't be going back... Just a shame major software companies don't give Linux much love.
Baba is You is an absolute delight, and if you enjoy logic puzzles at all I cannot recommend it enough.
The three gaming YouTubers I watch most right now are Hutts, ProJared, and jacksepticeye.
None of them take themselves too seriously, and love a good laugh. There's a mix of long form and short form content there, but it's all unscripted and most of it is largely unedited.
I'm just using the stock keyboard... 😅 I have two languages enabled at the moment. I can try disabling one and seeing if that makes a difference.
EDIT: No change. Tried disabling the emoji key, still no dice. And it's on any website, not just Lemmy. So strange.
When I try it with Firefox (ver. 113.2.0, on Android 13 Pixel 6) I can't get my keyboard to work? If I pull up lemmy.ml on the FireFox browser, and go to create a post, I can type all day long and be fine. When I use the "Install to..." To put the page on my home screen like an app, then try and create a post my keyboard flickers on screen for a second and disappears. No clue why.
It does this with other website-as-an-app things (I don't know what to actually call them) too, not just Lemmy.
What a joke... All the more reason I'm glad I left that ecosystem.
Totodile! It's just so lovable. And I've got a loooooot of good memories with Pokémon Gold. ☺️
Gods, yes. Rotom narrowly avoided making my list. It wouldn't be so bad if Rotom wasn't such a needy thing. Felt like I couldn't go two minutes without Rotom-dex giving me those sad eyes, and the Rotom boosts... I actually don't think I ever used them. Rotom is a cool concept, and then every piece of technology in the Pokemon world became a Rotom-something. Rotom-fridge, Rotom-mower, Rotom-dex, Rotom-phone. It's a good mirror for the prevalence of "Internet of Things" smart devices in the real world. Smart washers with WiFi connectivity that you can set and start from your phone, smart lawn mowers, smart toasters. My brother-in-law bought a smart-grill.
I don't want the Pokemon world to reflect those aspects of the real world, though. 😭
So your "evidence" is 4 different links from a "competing" platform, all of which should be considered "one source" not multiple individual sources, one of which is a user post with no actual evidence shown or linked -- at least not in the body of the post, I didn't care to follow through checking the comments -- and an article from... Vice.
Not exactly what I would call reputable sources. I'm not DENYING what you're saying, I just don't see any specific evidence to support your claim. Just... Be mindful of what you're using as "source material" when you claim there's evidence.
What's everyone using?
I'm running Tumbleweed, personally. I like the rolling release model, I think it supports my use case better than point releases. And OpenSUSE has the smoothest, most pleasant rolling release available IMO.
Do you happen to have a link to said evidence? I'd love to review it, myself.
We talked about everyone's favorite Pokémon, but who's your least favorite? A Pokémon that, no matter what, will never make it on your team? Or maybe the Pokémon you find least interesting?
I have a few, lol.
-
Mr. Mime. I've never liked Mr. Mime, I always found him a little freaky since the first time I saw him. I don't have a problem with clowns or mimes or other performers of the type... I just really don't like Mr. Mime.
-
Shedinja. I love the concept of Shedinja, but the execution is... Lackluster. Wonderguard is basically pointless, since Shedinja's weaknesses are so common, and even moves that aren't super effective can still take it out if they have a secondary or battlefield effect...
-
And finally, a recent Pokémon, Quaquaval. I. Cannot. Stand. This design. Quaxly is... Okay. It's the least strong of it's starter trio. After that, it's all downhill in a big way, lol.
What about you guys? Who are your least favorite Pokémon, and why?

What does everyone think about the changes to Allied Races and Riding Skills? I for one am excited, at least for the Allied Races updates. I don't really mind one way or another for the Riding Skills. It'll be nice not to have to dump a load of gold into skills and basic mounts for each new character, but the game hands gold out hand over fist in the early levels.
I was looking at the requirements for unlocking the Zandalari Trolls earlier tonight, and WOW. 😱 That's a big time sink! I imagine it'll feel like treason for those who went through all the steps to unlock the allied races prior to the patch... But it'll be nice not to have to drag myself through all those steps. 😅
What's the community's thoughts on these changes?
10.1.5 isn't out yet, and there's no official date as far as I know. Just nebulously "this summer." There are more changes, including Warlock coming to a bunch of new races. Full patch notes here: https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/dragonflight-fractures-in-time-ptr-development-notes/1587226

I don't know how I never stumbled upon Lemmy before, I've been looking for a worthwhile alternative to Reddit for over a year now. Guess I wasn't looking hard enough!

Everybody has a favorite Pokémon/Evolutionary line. Who's yours, and why?
Mine has to be Totodile! I love the whole evolutionary line, but Totodile is hands-down my favorite Pokémon. My first ever Pokémon games was a copy of Pokémon Gold with a broken internal battery; it couldn't store save data. On long road trips, my sister and I would pack the GameBoy Colour and Pokémon Gold. We would pass the GameBoy back and forth between stops, getting as far as we could before we had to turn off the GameBoy. Whenever we inevitably had to restart and pick our starter again, Totodile was always my choice. I've got lots of great memories from that game, even if we could never save our progress.
Who's your favorite Pokémon, and what's the story behind it? First starter, clutch battler, best design?

Bwonsamdi is one of my favorite parts of Zandalar. I wish there was a cosmetic option to replace the Val'kyr with Bwonsamdi... everywhere. Even if it was limited only to players who had completed the Zandalar story up to a point. I'd even give it a pass if it was limited only to Zandalari trolls, but that would be sad...
When I finally finish up in Zandalar, I will miss his quips.
Hi, all! I want to get more actively involved in the community/social aspect of WoW. I don't have any irl friends who play, so that's kinda out the window... But I'm looking for a small-ish, casual guild to join for WoW Retail.
I typically play Horde on Hyjal, but with all the cross-server stuff and now cross-faction guilds, I guess that matters less and less.
Is anyone in here part of a guild like that? If not, would anyone in here be interested in a Lemmy-centric social/casual guild for WoW?

NPS and P:LA may be the most visually stunning Pokémon games I've ever played. It makes me sad knowing the franchise is unlikely to bring the things that make these games so great forward.
I got Dragonflight! I can finally level my Shaman up to 70. 😭 I've been leveling an alt while I waited to pick up DF. My alt is... Another shaman. Alliance, this time. 😂
What's everyone running as their main, currently?
