I recommend browsing videos from Squat University on Instagram and seeing if you can identify the specific type and cause of knee pain and rehabbing that before you write it off as "part of aging".

I've had to resort to multiple apps and they don't work GREAT even when combined. I was just complaining about this!

I have Auto Photo Cut Paste for cutting faces/other parts out of photos fairly cleanly, and Picsart for actually combining/putting it together, but the Picsart tools seem kind of limited. It's not a full Photoshop replacement.

I was able to make this using those two apps if it gives you an idea of what's possible. Face removed for anonymity.

This is my first Far Cry game! It was recommended to me as someone who really liked both the Assassins Creed games and the Fallout series.

It is really not a bad game, but I probably should have started something smaller and more indie after TOTK rather than going to a big studio game as the comparison isn't super fantastic. The comparison between the virtually bug free TOTK and this one is dramatic. Add to that the fact that the game plays very similarly to the last PC game I played and it's coloring my perception of it. It's just crazy to me that AAA western studios are willing to put out games with bugs after playing so many japanese games for the past year.

I think the most important takeaway I'm getting from this experience is that my usual playthrough method of trying to 100% a game by doing all the side missions and quests will not be rewarded much in this game due to the repetitive nature of it. I'm thinking I'll enjoy it more if I just stick mostly to the main plot. I grinded AC Odyssey for like 200-300 hours and I think this game is similar enough that I wouldn't get much out of it playing the same way.

I still like the game, honestly, I just do think the dichotomy of the experience is throwing me off and making me appreciate Nintendo's ability to create virtually bug free, very complete gaming experiences more than I did before.

In most HCOL areas there is a higher minimum wage even for tipped workers, so keep that in mind. In DC for example minimum wage for tipped workers is going up annually over the next 4 years to meet regular minimum wage, up to about $17/hr. I anticipate tipping percentages should go down as this phases in as there will no longer be a differentiation.

I'm considering getting one as well. Putting it off until a gifting holiday as they're expensive. Only debating between the cheapest and second cheapest size - I would get a microSD expansion either way but I'm not sure if it's better to have the additional space or not. Odds are I would only have two or three games installed at a time really.

I used an email address that would tell me where the spam is coming from to sign up for Lemmy. None of my spam email is coming with that email address so I don't think I'm getting spam from Lemmy sold emails.. I have noticed more phishing emails but I think it's just Gmail letting them through or being more targeted.

Yes, exactly. This is true. Gasoline is extremely subsidized in the US and even just ending those subsidies would encourage people to do something other than drive. Using that money to expand public transit options would be even better. Americans drive literally everywhere. There is no walking anywhere at all. We get very, very little physical activity and use a tremendous amount of fossil fuels and energy to get from Point A to Point B, on top of buying enormous gas guzzling SUVs.

Oh, yes, I misconstrued the post as saying this was provided by the hotel! My bad.

...where is this hotel?

I get the impression that Mastodon and kbin.social are technically interoperable with Lemmy, but not very well.

A huge portion of American carbon usage is personal transportation. The government can do many things to lower its carbon footprint but your life will look significantly different. Local governments are largely responsible for determining what citizens' primary means of transportation is and that's where people actually do have a lot of influence.

Uh...there are a lot of people with 5 day old Lemmy accounts, there was literally just a mass influx. Probably the majority of users came here within the last 5 days lol. Your account is one week old. Hell, most of the active users of Lemmy before the past week were posting content like this.

Christ. We need massive, global action. We need people in the west to commit to drastically lowering their carbon footprints, ideally by finding alternatives to gas powered cars and cars in general, and we need immediate action on geo-engineering. Atmospheric cloud dust, carbon capture, everything. We can't debate the ethics and morals forever. We just desperately need to start acting.

I mean some people are complaining about the price. But I don't care about the price necessarily, as I'm not "protesting". I'm simply tired of participating in the shittification of social media sites while they seek to monetize us. So them charging anything, or attempting to be profitable, is inherently the turnoff for me, because there is an inevitable path that a for-profit social media website takes.

Not sure if you know but there's an entire instance dedicated to the DMV already - DMV.social, and DC's community is https://dmv.social/c/washingtondc or !washingtondc@dmv.social

Is it deleted?

I've noticed this by googling my username and finding reddit comments still present that don't show up on my profile.

I'm not sure why Mastodon posts always end up looking so bad on Lemmy. The title is always gored and the post always has hashtags that do nothing in Lemmy. Just because they're technically cross compatible doesn't mean they should be.

I don't understand this claim. Do you have any evidence?

The point is to put your uniquely provided information somewhere else, like Lemmy. Google will figure out how to prioritize this information eventually. Delete it from reddit so that it's no longer the internet's repository of information.

Are these actually any good? I have the vanilla ice cream an honestly, to me it still just tastes like protein powder. There's a chemical, milk-y taste that is overwhelming.

I mean it's fair to say that there have been many performance issues as most of the federations were not prepared for the mass influx of people, and for someone literally brand new and without context it's hard to differentiate between temporary performance issues and fundamental flaws. I agree that all the bellyaching is laughably naive about how quickly websites and services come together and evolve, but we can't pretend that the growing pains haven't happened.

Yeah, same here. Keeps happening. I'd love to learn more about coding so I could help contribute to the app and to Lemmy in general. Right now I just have some rudimentary python but some hands on experience would be ideal.

That's been true from the mobile app for a while. Whenever I save a photo from the reddit app it comes with a watermark that says what sub it's from.

just installed, huge improvement. Thanks!

You could always unsubscribe from general communities in lemmy.world and subscribe to general communities on other instances instead.

Having a hard time joining it for some reason.

Hopefully there will be a Lemmy equivalent to r/fuckcars and r/YIMBY soon enough.

I specifically moved somewhere where we could use more public transit because my climate anxiety was overwhelming me.

How many people are working on Lemmy?

Dinraal is consistently the hardest one for me to find as well. I don't think the castle quest blocks the dragons.

The major downside of this, if I understand correctly, is that this also applies to usernames. For the most part this won't be a problem but I can easily imagine a specific type of trolling that can come from this feature.

Heavily disagree. The internet was better when content was shared for no reason other than desiring to share content. Turning every opportunity to post content into a money generating system is what ruins social media over and over again. Literally every other social media can be monetized; content creators looking to make a buck should stay there.

I'm having this exact same experience. At least I know it's not me. I'm having it with links not associated with Kbin too, so that isn't the entire problem.

It seems like it should be straightforward, but it doesn't appear to be working very well.

I just saw a community I wanted to follow. My account is in lemmy.fmhy.ml, and the community is in lemmy.world.

The link to the community is this: https://lemmy.world/c/sql

Following formatting standards, the link for me to be able to join SHOULD be https://lemmy.fmhy.ml/c/sql@lemmy.world correct?

But when I type that in I get "404: couldnt_find_community". This is true every time I try to simply change the community name. In fact I have not been able to go to a single community using the URL formatting in this way.

Am I misunderstanding something?

the 500 comment limit made the concept of daily threads replacing common questions a killer on subs like r/fitness. "Has this question been asked before? Well, instead of being able to pull up several threads about this topic, I have to go through the daily threads of hundreds of days and search the comments for keywords - after increasing the number of comments visible from 200 to 500, and then still not being able to search all the comments on the 1000+ comment threads." Just genuinely became unusable.

The linking issue is a big one that they will need to figure out how to make work. If you can't share a community easily there's just no way this is going to get big.
