Even now I feel like I haven’t seen any noticeable performance increase on 5G vs 4G. And yet now whenever I only have a 4G signal, I can barely get websites to load.
I used to be able to video chat with people on the other side of the planet over 4G in 2017. In 2015, I used to be able to tether my phone to my laptop and stream 4K video without issue. I have no idea what they did to make it suck so badly today.
Might get some success with the upcoming series “IGNORE PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND SUBSCRIBE TO PRIME”
They do, in the first 2 minutes or so. It’s meant to be something of a gag, when they show him holding a sword and the epic-sounding Game of Thrones theme music begins to swell, only to then cut away to him taking a shit.
I think it could have been handled better, but the takeaway meaning that they appear to be trying to convey is that this is not the same kind of show as Game of Thrones. It’s literally taking a shit on the overly grand stories that preceded it.
I do think the rest of the episode redeems it, at least. It’s a break from the aristocratic backstabbing and scheming, providing a much-needed look into this world from a commoner’s perspective.
Whether the rest of the short season will remain worth watching is another question, though.
On the other hand, other than the one page shilling a Windows server specifically, there’s nothing else in the content of the story itself indicating that it is specifically a Windows server and not whatever else. Take out that one page and there’s no mention of Windows or Microsoft.
Edit: Nevermind, missed the part on the last page too. Bleh.
Chiitan loves all transgender people but not necessarily all transgender persons
She may have single-handedly precipitated the slide into fascism in the US.
If she had simply resigned from her position when she began experiencing health issues, it would have allowed her successor to be nominated and approved under a democratic administration.
Instead, she wanted to retain her position of authority as long as possible, and so her greatest legacy to the US became Amy Coney Barret appointed by Trump and the subsequent series of 5-4 votes in favor of furthering his agenda.
Thanks, count me as a new happy subscriber!
To be honest, Elden Ring is the only Souls game I’ve played and so it’s the only one of any real interest to me for now, but I am appreciative of the tags used in the post titles that allow me to filter out the content from other games I’m not interested in seeing. Glad to see content is alive somewhere!
For the more specific example, for any curious, the character Switch from the first movie was originally meant to be trans.
Switch was intended to be biologically male outside of the Matrix but then be female inside the Matrix, based on the way the system represents people by their self-image.
The production studio axed that idea, and the actress who was originally intended to only play 1/2 of the character ended up playing them outside the Matrix as well. The best they could do was keep the name and make Switch look androgynous.
I think people just miss their niche interest communities.
For example, I love Elden Ring, but !eldenring@lemmy.world hasn’t had any new posts in almost a year. Meanwhile the Elden Ring subreddit has a bunch of posts just from the last few minutes.
Still not enough to make me go back to Reddit, but I admit it’s something I miss and something that just can’t be recreated without more people.
No way, Gowron has more honor in his pinky toe than that man has in his entire body.
I don’t believe the default Lemmy interface supports it, yeah. I sometimes use Alexandrite and I don’t think it does, but not 100% certain. Haven’t tried Photon or any of the other options that may be out there.
If you’re on Lemmy.world, try:
Aledandrite - https://a.lemmy.world/
Voyager - https://m.lemmy.world/
Old Reddit - https://old.lemmy.world/
Photon - https://p.lemmy.world/
Tesseract - https://t.lemmy.world/
Not sure what others may be out there, but maybe one of them has the setting you’re looking for.
Edit: Alexandrite does seem to have a “system default” option, so if your system automatically updates theme based on time of day, that may work.
Edit 2: Seeing similar on each of the others, though how well each works, I’m not certain.

Are you using an app, or one of the additional Lemmy frontends like Alexandrite or Photon?
With this version to compare with, it looks like someone went out of their way to edit the eyes of the one in the post to make it more of a racist caricature…
That was my understanding. Dad wants to make his kid’s dream of being a pop star come true, so he spends tons of money to make it happen, and she became a meme because all the money can’t make up for lack of talent. There was probably also some schadenfreude when held against all of the other artificially boosted Disney pop star kids who were still in the internet’s collective memory at the time.
I should also say that I have no opinions on Rebecca Black as a person, she could be a really lovely and genuine person for all I know. And apparently she is still out there making music, which is fine if it makes her happy.
But damn did I hate hearing that song. Still do. It’s just a bad song.
Definitely something to be said about how gender isn’t “real,” but people’s perception of it is.
There’s no pattern of masculine or feminine behavior/style that is consistent across cultures and throughout history. It’s all arbitrary.
But that binary perception of masculine/feminine is nevertheless all around us, even if it’s not consistently represented.
I’d like to think that not much would change about my style or mannerisms if I had been born with different parts, and I find it odd how unnecessarily gendered so many aspects of society are. I’m just “me,” what else would I want to be? But I also need to remind myself that I only think that way because I’ve never had to worry about being seen as something other than what I am, even if I don’t feel that strongly about it. It’s easy to overlook just how much of my life experience has been colored by my effortless gender presentation.
Not everyone gets that by default, and it’s hard to put myself in those shoes because I simply can’t understand what it’s like to be viewed as the opposite gender, or why it might cause discomfort.
If I were airlifted to some other culture that viewed pants as feminine and skirts as masculine, would I toss all of my jeans to conform? I’d like to think I wouldn’t, because I like the comfort of pants and attributing a gender standard to clothes has always seemed silly to me. But if it affected the way people saw me, I just might.
Looking at YappyMonotheist’s post history, I’m pretty sure they’re just a troll, I would just ignore and move on.
Hey, it’s a thing, blame the Japanese!
You fry the rice in ketchup, serve it in an omelette. Optionally top with more ketchup.
Can sub the ketchup for demi-glace if that is more palettable, but that’s way more effort than I’m willing to put in for lazy time breakfast food.
Fry the rice and egg up together with some soy sauce, add some garlic in whatever form, bonus points if you have any white pepper, suddenly elevated.
Or even just some ketchup, make omurice, can’t go wrong.
Absolutely adorable.
It can be hard to snap a pic of the little guys, too. They’re in the habit of grabbing whatever they need out of the feeder and immediately flying away to eat it somewhere else, rather than chowing down there like most other species.
