If the camera really does need to be that thick for lens reasons, couldn't we at least make the rest of the body bigger with more battery?

Steam still lists Civ7 as requiring a third-party account and stays off my wishlist while it does.

Speaking of unhelpful, eurogamer.net is littered with ads. They add no value to the original Reddit post (https://old.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1emb4ch/valve_is_finally_addressing_bad_reviews_issue/).

Just hold off for now. They might take your money, shut it down, and mandate that you buy "Industrial Annihilation: Titans" for an extra $15.

Just copy/pasting something I wrote in another thread as it applies just as much here. https://lemmy.ca/comment/4835622

Want to sabotage a protest? Encourage advocacy for increasingly tangential issues. Focus splits, folks start disagreeing on new issues, folks start disagreeing on how issues get prioritized, everything falls apart.

Sadly, this doesn't even require a malicious actor encouraging it. Well-meaning folks see a potentially sympathetic audience for their pet issue and boom.

I'll happily debate political beliefs, but not here. In vegan communities, I'm here for the animals and welcome anyone here with similar motivations. Fragmenting the community by requiring increasingly narrow adherence to beliefs X, Y, and Z is not helpful.

I'm actively working on building something for this. In the interim, most phones have something akin to a voice recorder with transcriptions.

Its the same "power corrupts" story again and again. Karina Gould gave an impassioned speech on electoral reform (http://www.ourcommons.ca/DocumentViewer/en/42-1/house/sitting-64/hansard#Int-8963139). But after replacing Maryam Monsef as Minister of Democratic Institutions, her views suddenly became far more simplistic. In a 2017 interview on CBC's Metro Morning, she was asked "Why is it important that people at the very least believe every vote counts?". She replies "Because they do. … We literally count them: 1, 2, 3, 4, up to the majority that wins."

Agar is only going to work if you heat it. Xanthan gum might be the best alternative here that requires no heating. It'll certainly make it more viscous, but might result in a less than appealing texture. I'd experiment with maybe heating a xanthan gum and agar mix, then removing from heat and stirring in the yogurt. I dunno, requires playing around depending on desired results.

You can ignore all games from publishers on Steam. I'd recommend doing this with any publisher with anti-consumer practices.

 

I'm new to Summit, but not new to Lemmy. In other clients, I've subscribed to several clusters of communities. I'd love to be able to group them into multi-communities in Summit.

Desired behaviour: That the "Create Multi Community" page show you communities you've subscribed to that aren't yet in any multi community.

Desired behaviour: That searching for communities in the "Create Multi Community page" indicate which of the search results you're already subscribed to.

 

Ended up with a felt version of John Carpenter's Thing.
