I think the idea is to build a habit of checking, so you don’t even need to have that “hold on, am I dreaming?” moment. You just habitually do that thing you always do, and then “oh it seems I’m dreaming. I didn’t notice”

Actually that does have a confusing name: Weakly Interacting Massive Particles. WIMPs. Yes, really.

It’s a common misconception that Dark Matter = WIMPs because it’s the leading theory right now. Dark Matter really just means “whatever happens to be the cause of certain cosmological measurement discrepancies” even if that cause isn’t in any way “matter” at all. It’s a very misleading name.

Accepting that the reality of a story is as described. Magic is real? Sure. FTL? Sure. The colour red makes you fart? Yeah why not? For the sake of the story, I Believe.

BUT the term often gets hijacked by rabid fans trying to justify plot holes, self-contradictions, and nonsensical gobilygook. Suspension of disbelief doesn’t mean I should also suspend all semblance of reason, unless of course there’s a clearly established in-universe justification for doing so.

If you include the comics as cannon, Protoman is still alive in 21XX and goes by “Prometheus”

Welcome back and congratulations

Great to have you back. This is the only Lemmy app that handles multiple instances in a way I like, and I was getting concerned it would be abandoned.

Regarding the multi-instance stuff, is it possible to add a way to view the logged-in version of the local feed and/or the community list for an instance you don’t have an account on, provided you do have an account on another federated instance?

That’s a mouthful, so let me explain: I have a account on instance A which is federated with instance B. Instance B has community X which is public and community Y which is only visible to logged in users. Provided someone from my instance has interacted with them, both X and Y are searchable from A and appear in all. Now the “issue”: if I go to B’s local, I will only see posts from X since I’m not logged in to B despite Y being visible from A’s all. Likewise, if I view B’s community list I will only see X. Since I have access to Y via A, and can interact freely with it, I should be able to see it when browsing B.

This doesn’t seem to be possible from the web app ether so it might be a Lemmy limitation.

I think you’re confusing AppleTalk with AppleShare. AFP runs fine over TCP/IP and has since way back in the System 6 days.

If you put the die type along the top row (just the numbers, no d) and this in A2 it should do what you want.

=RANDBETWEEN(1,A$1)

You can copy the cell without editing the formula and fill as much of the sheet as you want. Press F9 to reroll.

If you prefer a percentile die with zero, you can change it to

=RANDBETWEEN(0,9)*10

Or just combine the 2 dice as a single d100

It’s been a few years so I don’t remember exactly, but basically I used to use ControllerMate (like autohotkey but not awful) and when it died I went in search of other nodal programming tools. Never found a good replacement for CM, but node-red is amazing in its own way.

  • Pi0 with zigbee hat
  • zigbee2mqtt
  • node-red configured with virtual HomeKit devices

That’s it. No home assistant or equivalent. Automation and other rules are in node-red. Manual control is through Siri via the virtual HomeKit devices.

As for devices, it’s mostly just the lights, thermostats, and a weather station, though I also control a fan and the TV* via a harmony hub and am thinking about getting a smart plug for my dehumidifier.

*getting the fake HomeKit TV to work right in node-red was more trouble than everything else put together :(

Whenever possible, all of them. The switch may be underpowered, but for the majority of games it doesn’t matter. The deck feels unpleasantly oversized, like the original original Xbox controller or the game gear, and awareness of it’s presence doesn’t fade into the background no matter how long I’m playing. The switch is a joy in comparison.

Been pronouncing it that way since Idea Channel :)
