She had a (non-cancerous) brain tumor, which she did a few videos about treating. I hope that’s behind her forever as well. :(

I don’t know how much Impossible Meat is because nobody around here carries it, but I would imagine it’s a bit pricey just for the name being so popular.

Having tried a fairly wide variety of vegan meat replacements, I personally found that Impossible meat was the most impressive. Their beef imitation is quite literally indistinguishable from the real thing. If anything, it’s beefier than real ground beef. I can sometimes find it on sale at my local store for about $7 or $8 a pound, but usually it’s more around $10 or $11. I always stock up on the beef or sausage when it’s on sale, as my non-vegan family has fully embraced it, whereas they have been less receptive of other beef imitations (though they’ll enjoy any old imitation chicken, which appears to be easier to replicate).

Florisboard has decent swipe typing from what I remember, and should be available in F-droid.

EDIT: after checking, I see Floris has not been updated in two years on f-droid. :(

XMPP would be the best choice at this point in time, as it doesn’t suffer the downfalls of Matrix (though even Matrix would be better than Discord).

This is a summary from @[email protected]:

TL;DW:

• Patrick Breyer and Niklas Nienaß submitted questions to the European Commission on the topic of killing games (the latter in contact with Ross and two EU based lawyers).
• EU won’t commit to answering whether games are goods or services.
• EULA are probably unfair due to imbalance of rights and obligations between the parties.
• Such terminations should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis (preferably by countries rather than EU).
• Existing laws don’t seem to cover this issue.
• Campaign in France seems to be gaining some traction. Case went to “the highest level where most commercial disputes submitted to DGCCRF never go”.
• UK petition was suppose to get a revised response after the initial one was found lacking. Due to upcoming elections all petitions were closed and it might have to be resubmitted.
• Also in UK, there’s a plan to report games killed in the last few years to the Competition and Markets Authority starting in August (CMA will get some additional power by then apparently).
• No real news from Germany, Canada or Brazil.
• Australian petition is over and waiting for a reply. Ross also hired a law firm to represent the issue.

This is a simplified version of simplified version.

At least the CCP is open to criticism and debate about their actions back then. If you go to Tiananmen today, you will see and hear a lot of discussion of this troubling time in China’s recent history.

Yes, that’s one of the CCP’s best qualities, to be sure. It’s so rare to see a government actively encourage their citizens to discuss such major events,

You will need to create a new account, but it is possible to export all of your subscriptions to a new account. There should be a thing you can click for that in your settings menu to download the export file, which you would then import into your new account.

Your old comments will not transfer, however.

Love me some computer chronicles!

GNU Taler could replace Paypal, we can only hope.

Apparently a few coop banks somewhere are adopting/have adopted taler, so hopefully it takes off.

Yarr, matey.

I’d recommend asking around lemmy.dbzer0.com, in the sailing community.

But it’d be easier to switch to Linux Mint, if you don’t have a critical windows app that doesn’t work in wine.

For anyone else reading this and thinking about trying linux for the first time, be sure to use Linux Mint. It will give you the smoothest and easiest experience, and you pretty much never need the terminal. It even comes with a really nice software store (but everything is free).

Absolutely, I’m surprised they haven’t addressed that privacy concern.

There’s a great ms paint alternative from KDE called Kolour Paint, which you can grab from the software center.

A not insignificant portion of online games utilize the steam friend system exclusively to enable inviting others to your party, and would not function otherwise. One example off the top of my head is Hunt: showdown.

AFAIK, Grayjay is not a closed source app, the source is on github, but he chose a license that restricts monetization and redistribution due to having concerns of people taking FOSS apps and repackaging them on app stores with added monetization or malware.

Not ideal, but not closed either.

“Oh, Oh! You’re sayin’ yes? you’re sayin’ go for it then, orb? Right.”

God it’s brilliant.

Gah! I wish so desperately that wasn’t the case, but I can’t dispute that. It really does feel like without investment in our rail network, there’s no good way of long distance travel, so it’s currently just a shit sandwich all around.

Sublinks and piefed don’t compete with lemmy, or at least, they don’t weaken the ecosystem since they are all inter compatible.

I hope that prompts more funding into Amtrak if people do opt for that!
