    Unfortunately, toward the end of the process Prof. Chomsky suffered a major stroke, and I was left to finish editing the manuscript on my own.

    😒😢😭

    I'm not a stein fan, and I get the stein bashing because fuck Trump, so I only point this out because using this to bash her is not the most powerful argument you can make,because it's thin evidence that would never hold up in court.... but let's bash her on actual things, I'm all for that.

    if you look up the details, you can easily find: Stein "attended at her own expense to spread a message of peace and diplomacy" and gave a speech in Moscow "in which she criticized the excessive militarism of both Vladimir Putin and U.S. leaders."

    The Senate Intelligence Committee later investigated the trip and found no wrongdoing whatsoever.

    Speaking to The Intercept in 2017, she said the notion that it was an "intimate roundtable" was "mythology," and that Putin and his associates "weren't at the table for very long." Stein said that "nobody introduced anybody to anybody" and that she "didn't hear any words exchanged between English speakers and Russians" due to the lack of a translator.

    Stein said that Putin had appeared to make a speech and left immediately after. "Nobody cared to make introductions. This wasn't intended to be a discussion of any sort,"

    Could be all lies, etc. but it's cheap and not substantial evidence in any way. I mean, a picture at a dinner table doesn't automatically mean anything, no matter how many strings you use to connect all the pictures in your CSI montage.

    49 fake polls found to have been created, omitting silly things like saying only 10% of Penn voters will view this year. This is a set up, to justify the legal cases or fake elector schemes. Look how close the race was, they're is no way that we lost by so much, must be fraud!

    !hackernews@derp.foo used to be a feed posting things from the orange site. It stopped 3 months ago. Does anyone know how to get it back in action, or is there another somewhere else I can subscribe to?

    When I turn on my headphones, my oled deck turns on. Neat, but unwanted when I'm using my headphones for other things, like my zoom meeting for work causing Dave the Diver sounds to come out of my headphones. How can I turn that off without disabling Bluetooth every time I put the deck to sleep?

    Now that I have my new Oled, I'm wondering what would be good video settings for BG3. I can set the preset to ultra and it seems to offer no performance problem, but I wonder if vsync fsr2 etc should be set? How can I get the most amazing BG3 setup?

    I've been trying to sell my deck (64gb, like new, only 3 months old) for a couple weeks now. Marketplace, Swappa, OfferUp... But I get zero bites. It's in excellent condition, with screen protector and no controller drift and I've priced it lower than others I've seen sell. I have pictures of all sides, with it on and showing a game. I'm wondering what I need to do to sell it, what am I missing? I want to get the new deck, but unload this one first, it's more than $100 cheaper than I got it for which means way less than the new decks are going for. Any suggestions? Or is nobody buying used decks now?

    I had this on my wish list from ages ago, it's on sale for $3.99 now, which is super cheap but I'm not sure if it will work on the deck, or if the game is even worth my time. I've already got five other games in the pipe, but if this is really excellent and works well on the deck then I might get it. Thanks for any insight

    Hi folks, I'm looking for a current, and good, Steam Deck guide for BG3 settings. I've read a number of people saying they have great performance and quality and they applied settings from a guide, but I've failed to find such a guide. I did find some old settings from pre-launch, but no "guide" per-se. The Diablo 4 guides were all over the place and easily found, but I am flummoxed why I can't find them for BG3.

    I know you all are dealing with DDoS and how that goes. I run DDoS mitigation for some juicy targets and do a lot of on-call response to handle those issues, so believe me when I say I know what you are dealing with. However, that being said, it appears you are blocking tor exit nodes with a 403, likely at your web termination point (nginx, apache, whatever), and this kind of sucks. I get that tor can bring some attacks, and I fully support a modulated response to those attacks, preferably one with a reasonable time decay, but please don't just block all of tor Alternatively, be one of the cool kids, and setup an onion service for lemmy.world!

    Because there is a character wipe with the new season, if I'm close to finishing the campaign, should I just focus on that and get all the altars, and avoid everything else? I don't see much point leveling up and planning out my character build and obsessing over equipment if it's all going away in a week.

    I had a few replies to some posts, got the bell icon, read some of them, but then it brought me to a thread... Which took me away from my notifications. Now I can't get back to them, and can't figure out how to get back to them

    I just bought Firewatch, always wanted to play it and the sale price was really good. It's also rated as confirmed on steamdeck, but it won't launch for me. Does it work for others? Any idea of what I can do, or support I can get for it? Or should I just request a refund and be sad?

    I got the Sacrifice aspect from a dungeon and it looks pretty nice for my Necro blood build, but I'm afraid to use it. It will only apply to a weapon, and my current weapon that I want to keep is legendary, with an aspect I imprinted on it (blood surge echo, means I get a free blood surge effect every time I use it). If I imprint Sacrifice I will lose this imprinted aspect, and I cannot remove it, if I understand correctly. Is that also the case with the aspects I find when completing a dungeon? I'm going to need to replace this weapon at some point soon, when I get a better one, but I don't want to lose the aspect...

    I've got local and all feeds, but no way to just see a feed of the communities I've subscribed to. I swear this was an option before, but I cannot find it. Am I just unable to see it?
