What engine are you making this in?

How can I get better at understanding contradiction? Specifically identifying contradictions, I’m still struggling a bit with the dialectical part of dialectical materialism.

slowly but surely!

Can you still feel it? I lost feeling in one of my fingertips after an incident with a forklift, which is small but annoying sometimes lol

better than before. legit like 2 days after joining the kapital book club my friend’s mom died so we’ve been caught up with that but things are starting to settle somewhat now, so hopefully i can catch up 🙏

What are the two barrels/drums on the back for?

Count me in! I need an excuse to get back into reading lol

Iirc, DXVK translates DirectX API calls to Vulkan calls, meaning the original game renders to Vulkan in the end. With this, no translation will be needed which should result in slightly better performance and more likely, much better compatibility.

“What is every number each under 1 sextillion?” bouta buy me a little time

And yet, you want to using a word that is sacred for some other culture.

don’t put words in my mouth. i never used either term. im criticizing your decision to call out people for using the wrong term instead of the person who wants jewish people dead.

your point is true, it’s just that you’re defending it in a way that diverts attention away from the more immediate problem of anti-jewish hate

this is your response to a story about someone spreading anti-jewish rhetoric

palestinian solidarity was so strong it killed kissinger KEEP THE FIRE LIT

My writing instructor always tells us to use the grammar checking in Word and there’s the occasional formatting or compatibility issue. Nothing that I haven’t been able to get through but it has resulted in a couple marks every here and there

I like balls

Even once? Yeah, just that once though. It was on like a dell latitude from 2010 and it wasn’t a permanent solution either

I’ve had good experiences at thrift stores, especially local ones. While they’re definitely filled with basic stuff like t-shirts, I’ve found plenty of cool stuff too. They’re not one-stop shops for sure though, you’d wanna do a few stops at a couple to get a really diverse wardrobe. I’m also the kind of person to wander and look at other stuff in thrift stores too, I’ve found some cool historical stuff about my area in them.

As far as the organizations behind them go, I’d generally try to avoid chains like Goodwill or Salvation Army because they’ve done (and probably are still doing) some sucky stuff, if I remember right Salvation Army donates/d to anti-LGBT groups and Goodwill exploits disabled people, but I have no sources on hand so take it as you will.

As another commenter suggested, you should probably use Linux Mint for that purpose, since Mint is far easier to use, plus Tails resets itself upon shutdown so you’d need an external drive for permanent storage.

If you absolutely must stay on Windows, there’s a project called Atlas OS that tries to strip a Windows installation of its telemetry and bloat, however there are privacy concerns with that, like up until a little while ago it actually disabled Windows Defender by default

I migrated instances yesterday for this exact reason, lemmy.ml is a bit better than some others like world but it still gets pretty bad
