  • so it seems... that's most of what comes up on youtube. I'll do a deeper dive, thank you

  • tomatoes are pretty fickle, so you may have an easier time with something else, but generally it is doable. if possible, look for varietals bred for container-growing, as they'll often be smaller plants. I've never grown peas or beans myself but I bet green beans and various peppers would be good choices.

    of course, familiarize yourself with your environment. determine your plant hardiness zone: https://www.fs.usda.gov/wildflowers/Native_Plant_Materials/Native_Gardening/hardinesszones.shtml and growing seasons. as others said, the direction your deck faces is important, but since you're in an apartment, you may actually have an advantage of being able to utilize reflected light from the building facing you as well. (I used to have a north-facing deck and the brick wall opposite me was a major source of light for my plants, which would sometimes reach toward it)

  • shit, really? they're doing such good work tbat genuinely aligns with my religious views. do you have links to any of this controversy?

  • On the topic of forums, I do like them, but I find they can often feel less “casual” than reddit/Lemmy. Different etiquette, I think.

    I agree and it's what I like about forums. to someone like me they're more approachable. discord works best for me with friends, but it's awkward with people I don't know well

  • very nice! I'm new to non-phone photography and just hand-hold my camera, which makes macro shots not easy. do you use a tripod and focus rail?

  • awesome picture! thanks for sharing, I'd definitely love to see more uncommon creatures here

  • ease of use is massive though. I really don't think federation is the future in our timeline. it would take some event actively pushing "normies" away from centralized services - I'm not even sure what that could be.

  • re: static content

    How does authentication factor into this? even if we exclude marketing/tracking bullshit, there is a very real concern on many sites about people seeing the data they're allowed to see. There are even legal requirements. If that data (such as health records) is statically held in a blockchain such that anyone can access it by its hash, privacy evaporates, doesn't it?

  • the most important things will be preserved naturally.

    I believe this is a fallacy. Things get preserved haphazardly or randomly, and "importance" is relative anyway.

  • I think we all agree that it is a bit much, but it's literally the only option other than completely opening the gates. we are hoping for better tools in future versions of lemmy that will allow partial or one-way federation

  • Maybe because I'm using Jerboa, but it feels slower to me. Jerboa has many issues though

  • I've had a hard time finishing the game because of #2. DE is such a weird blend of "the devs thought of everything" and "all conversations are railroaded into insanity". What at first felt like a game allowing the player to explore and develop political views in an alternate universe is actually more of a hamfisted, cynical parody of all possible idealogies. I think the moment I got South Park vibes (not from the writing, but from the " everyone is stupid " vibe) is when I was doomed to never finish it. That said, I actually love so much about the game, I want to enjoy and finish it. I just find it so tiring.

  • Their quest/story writing has definitely fallen off a cliff but I think it's done to serve their bad game design. Or it goes hand in hand. Frankly I just don't think Skyrim or FO4 were particularly good examples of the genre and probably won't buy more Bethesda RPGs, but we'll see.

  • I'm in favor of (personally) paying more to avoid AWS also

  • I'm having the opposite experience. I feel like it's already so active here I can't keep up in bigger communities like this one.

  • can't tell for sure, but it looks like a northern crab spider or a relative. they can change color to camouflage with flowers, which is where they do most of their hunting!
