yep. it's a stupid powerful build but also surprisingly flexible.

AC6 is a perfect storm game for me - it dropped the day I got covid and I have not been able to stop booting it up for more than a few days since. I have always been a huge fan of in-game fashion and the AC games have some of the best "character" customization in all of gaming, IMO.

Although Belltower is by no means my best design, it remains one of my favorites for its simple, gorilla-demon beauty. It's also extremely fun to play.

I've actually saved a whole stable of ACs, I think 16 at last count. I can't stop designing them. I'm excited to show off the rest along with their lore, especially the ACs I've been getting really experimental with. Perhaps some Beeple will also enjoy seeing them :)

it doesn't sound like anything abnormal to just completely forget a new password, let alone one part of it. I would not see anything to worry about in this instance. but if you're worried about your memory more generally, how is your sleep? do you get enough, is it restful, do you snore, is your schedule consistent, do you eat before bed? there can also be lots of other common factors like unresolved emotional trauma or depression or neurodivergent traits. additionally, memory is a skill that can be trained if you want to have a good memory.

again, this incident is not something to worry about. if you feel like there's a pattern, there are many things you can look into but start with your day-to-day state. investigate how your body and mind feel. I can't even begin to get close to saying you may have a particular condition, just want to give some lines of thought you can investigate if you want.

sure did. however, that law technically doesn't take effect until Sep 1. however, it seems some employers are already taking advantage of it to harm and kill their employees. also important to note that the temperature in much of Texas can still be well above 90F through the end of October, so Sep 1 is not a meaningful date WRT working through the summer - there will likely be many 100F+ days after this law officially begins.

Yusef Salaam ... has won a Democratic primary for a seat on the New York City Council, all but assuring him of eventual victory.

His outsider campaign prevailed over two political veterans — New York Assembly members Inez Dickens, 73, and Al Taylor, 65 ... Democratic socialist Kristin Richardson Jordan, the incumbent council member, dropped out of the race in May ...

While all three candidates focused on promoting affordable housing, controlling gentrification and easing poverty in Harlem, Salaam capitalized on his celebrity ...

Salaam moved to Georgia shortly after he was released [in 2002] and became an activist, a motivational speaker, an author and a poet. He returned only in December to launch his campaign.

The ruling by [National Labor Relations Board] Judge Robert A. Ringler found that the company and local store managers in Pittsburgh abused their power and unlawfully targeted workers organizing with Pittsburgh Starbucks Workers United.

Three of the fired workers were part of the union’s 5-member bargaining unit, a fact that Ringler suggested was not a coincidence.

As workers at Starbucks stores nationwide have racked up organizing victories, the company has been hit numerous times with NLRB rulings that found unlawful labor practices.

crypto got a bad name for a few reasons, but scams are a big one. the thing is, there's scams in everything. the scams and the NFTs grifts and the flavor-of-the-month coins don't reflect on the fundamental technology or the value of the bigger coins.

I think there are still very valid criticisms of cryptocurrency even at its best. I think we're not ready for it, technologicallly, because we aren't responsible enough with our energy production to base money directly off of it, but it makes sense to me that money could/should ultimately be an account of energy production. (or it shouldn't exist, idk)

in my opinion it's almost as much of a scam to just blanket say all crypto is trash because of scams, as it is to, well, have crypto scams. blockchain can't/shouldn't be everything people hype it up to be, but that doesn't mean it's just garbage technology.

"hallucination" works because everything an LLM outputs is equally true from its perspective. trying to change the word "hallucination" seems to usually lead to the implication that LLMs are lying which is not possible. they don't currently have the capacity to lie because they don't have intent and they don't have a theory of mind.

I don't agree. I think it's disingenuous to isolate the decision from the context as if it were made unprompted. it comes across as if you are blaming the admins for something you don't like - if that's not your intent, then what is ?

[-] soiling@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

it may seem that way, but that's not accurate. something had to be done to stem the trolls and lemmy doesn't provide any tools for less severe action.

[-] soiling@beehaw.org 3 points 2 years ago

so it seems... that's most of what comes up on youtube. I'll do a deeper dive, thank you

tomatoes are pretty fickle, so you may have an easier time with something else, but generally it is doable. if possible, look for varietals bred for container-growing, as they'll often be smaller plants. I've never grown peas or beans myself but I bet green beans and various peppers would be good choices.

of course, familiarize yourself with your environment. determine your plant hardiness zone: https://www.fs.usda.gov/wildflowers/Native_Plant_Materials/Native_Gardening/hardinesszones.shtml and growing seasons. as others said, the direction your deck faces is important, but since you're in an apartment, you may actually have an advantage of being able to utilize reflected light from the building facing you as well. (I used to have a north-facing deck and the brick wall opposite me was a major source of light for my plants, which would sometimes reach toward it)

I just don't know what to make of this migration. I hate that it has to happen and I hate that many trans people can't leave even though they want to. I hope it's also an opportunity to build stronger communities in new places.

my partner is trans and we are planning to move. we have wanted to for years because of issues in our state/area, but now it's become more urgent. but we have friends and community here we'll be leaving behind, and it makes us really sad. we are also conflicted about our personal well being vs staying and representing our community.

if you're in a hell state, will you move? have you already? or will you stay where you are?

the most important things will be preserved naturally.

I believe this is a fallacy. Things get preserved haphazardly or randomly, and "importance" is relative anyway.
