Roleplaying evil characters in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Don't have anything to add, just appreciation for your post. A true evil playthrough would be interesting. Done well it'd uncomfortable and illuminating. But maybe too threatening for many? Maybe we stick to simplistic versions because they are safe?

Your responses alternate between writing as if you are a random person who happened across this and then someone who is part of the project. Kinda disingenuous. If you are marketing your own project, be straight about it. If it is against the policies to do that, well then don't do it

For all the times you responded, couldn't you have just posted the link?

It started to come off as scripted. But who knows. Everyone's cray and imitating cray they've seen on tiktok like AI learning from other AI in a loop to the bottom

Thanks! Will watch it

Edit to say I watched it. His friend was incredibly well spoken. And brave in his own right, frankly.

[–] speck@kbin.social 5 points 7 months ago

Not sure what you mean, but here are some considerations. See which is important to you and then others can opine?

Taste (subjective. E.g. I find anything that is tetrapak vs refrigerated to have a ubiquitous off taste)

Versatility
(some hold up better in hot liquids than others; or have a necessary thickness for cooking or baking)

Nutritional Profile
(soy is usually naturally higher in protein; oat and rice milk are high carb / glucose load)

Cost

Quality of ingredients, including how processed they are

Inclusion of undesirable ingredients
(e.g. oils, thickeners)

Ecological impact
(Amount of water to produce e.g. almonds vs oats; over harvesting e.g. coconut)

Thank you for sharing this. Not completely finished it yet, but what a counter point to some of mainstream coverage

Is it possible to have an on-screen keyboard that provides word suggestions without compromising privacy? (kbin.social)
 

I've been playing with both the Thumb and the Unexpected keyboards. I like 'em both but, man, I have to admit I'd like them more if they had that top bar that predicts what you might be. Is that just a no-go from a privacy perspective? Can that functionality be local?

(I also wouldn't mind a good voice typing feature)

[Solved] How to get rid of the arrows at the bottom of comments which collapse/expand the text? (kbin.social)

They always obscure part of the text, no matter what. I juat want the full text.

nb that I use KES so maybe that's where the issue is?

Edit: should probably mention that this is on mobile, android

Edit 2: the code snippet below, provided by @pamasich, seems to have fixed the issue. I added it to my mobile browser (Firefox nightly) via the Stylus add-on:

div.more:not(:nth-child(1 of .more)) {
    display: none;
}

Edit 3: Latest KES update seems to have fixed the issue. More deets here: https://kbin.social/m/enhancement/t/777616 Thanks @shazbot

Bilocker'd partition on dual boot drive (kbin.social)
 

I recently created a HD for dual boot Win 11 and Pop Os. I created a shared partition for Data, and separate partitions for the respective OS. I used gParted to create the partitions. It looks like Win then added bitlocker to this data partition.

(It's not really encrypted, I guess, because I didn't create a microsoft account, and didn't receive a recovery key)

So now I can't access that partition when booted into Pop OS without entering a password (which I don't have).

I'm wondering a couple of things: what's the best practice in these scenarios? Have the shared data drive not be encrypted with Bitlocker? If so, is there something else that should be done for security purposes? If not, it looks like using Dislocker is a common solution to access the drive in Linux?

Dual Boot Best Practices? (kbin.social)
 

Will be installing either Mint or Pop_OS on a new laptop which has a 512gb SSD. Will keep Windows for gaming, at least for now, with the games installed on an external HD. But otherwise, this is to experiment with living in Linux.

I understand that I can unallocate HD space from Windows in order to make room for the LInux OS, leaving at least 25 or 30gb for the Linux OS itself.

Do I then extend that space further, so to speak, to allow for any other programs I might install as well as for data? Do I create a third partition for data that will be shared between the two OS?

What's a reasonable breakdown?

e.g.
Windows 100gb; Linux 400gb or
Win 100gb; Linux 30gb; Data (NTFS) 370gb?

Read to leap into Linux (kbin.social)
 

Just bought a pc laptop and want to dual boot Linux. Windows will be for some games, Linux for everything else. Would this be the right place to ask for advice?

I've been using NZBPlanet for years. I guess they've recently changed their model so that, unless you pay, your account is deactivated within 24h.

Any other suggestions to find files on usenet?

Alternatively, how can I go about paying them anon? Go get a gift card credit card or something?

If it helps, mostly looking a shows or movies. Not games
