Their gonna get sued by the 401k company

I want to but I don’t own FO3, and at this point i’m waiting to see if a remaster is real. Kinda burnt out on Fallout at this point and need a break anyway.

yeah, as someone who just played through New Vegas again due to S2 of the show, it would have to be some serious quality of life changes to make me shell out for it again.

I have never played FO3 though and im putting my hope capital into willing that into existence

yes, always disappointing when this happens, but you can usually find vendors who avoid the practice (with some trial and error).

Sure, in the same way there is nothing stopping Lemmy from using ATProto. The problem is all competing standards and what the developer chooses to use.

This has been my play since last February. In some ways it sucks, because Amazon really cornered the market on niche solutions to niche problems. However, when there is something I absolutely need I try to look for a local solution and if I can’t find that, I use eBay. By no means a perfect solution (ie. a lot of the eBay vendors still use Amazon to fulfill their shipments) but my mindset shifted from “oh yeah go on Amazon and press Buy Now immediately” to really working through a solution, and whether or not I need to purchase an item to enact that solution.

One benefit is that Signal controls all the infrastructure and some people do not like that. Sure, you could also spin up a Matrix home server, but that isn’t an ideal solution for everyone either. Some people want to do messaging via their existing ActivityPub infrastructure and that’s OK.

You cannot, two totally different protocols

What kind of performance are you getting with that? Wondering if I can pick up something like that to play some 2d platformers, maybe some low poly 3D stuff (think Overcooked or Moving Out). Been doing more of that stuff in my living room with my kids.

You’ve nailed my family’s experience as well. I’m a sole earner, high COL area, student debt, groceries and other bills going up.

Stupidity of the US health “system” aside, there is never a situation where a pay raise “spilling over” to the next tax bracket leaves you in a worse position in terms of take home pay.

I’d love for you to explain why you think a self hosted Codeberg is problematic and implies they don’t know how to use git.

This is just wild ignorance or revisionist history. Turning Point USA had professor watchlists where students could report professors with “leftist” views and then TP’s supporters could send the professors death threats https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/sep/17/turning-point-usa-professor-watchlist

I believe the audio streaming issue on flatpak is resolved as of a month or two ago. But I’m typically with you, system packages for the most up to date experience in most cases.

Closed my entire Amazon account in February

Yes, but it’s not relevant to the point I was making

Intentionally, I think.

She has been a good evangelist for the fediverse, IMO, based on my reading of her posts on Mastodon the last couple months.

BlueSky is another corporate microblog platform, which could end up going the way of Twitter. I’m not saying it will be bought by a fascist billionaire, but they will be beholden to advertisers at some point in the near future.

I would highly recommend finding a Mastodon, Akkoma, or GoToSocial instance that aligns with your values and use that instead. If you are concerned about the network effects of not being on the ‘biggest’ platform where all the celebs are, there is a Bluesky->Mastodon bridge available.

So this is just a shortcut to Google or DuckDuckGo with a prebuilt query?
