That’s right, the tailored homepage isn’t present in Invidious.

I’m in the same boat of having educated the algorithm to fairly reliably show me things I actually want to see; I use my Invidious instance mostly as a backup for when the YouTube gods are in a foul mood towards Firefox or Ublock or the color of my shirt or whatever

I love going back and replaying Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy on my PS2; awesome memories there. I really want to try out the OpenGOAL project

I’m currently moseying through Okami HD on my Switch. I’m enjoying it, though having a 4 month old limits how much I can play

Google just wants you to submit to their authority and do things the way they want.

Invidious and Piped are great alternative front ends; no ads, no tracking, no algorithm, no stupid throttling.

Piped.video is the main Piped instance, and I’ve got Invidious running at ourtube.roguewave.observer

I just finished Lieutenant Hornblower and am thoroughly enjoying the series. I’ll be starting Hornblower and the Hotspur soon.

Looks like the Third Impact

Google sure is. Brave is a chromium-based browser - a browser that is built off of Google Chrome, so anything Google wants to put in their web browser to track you and devour your internet-soul is also in Brave and all the other “web browsers” that are just chromium skins like Edge.

This is slander against Dr. Pulowski

Also, it was sent from a no reply address, so I can't reply and continue communicating on the matter.

I don’t understand what this graphic is saying, but I agree

This is an excellent analysis! I just watched “The Inner Light” for the first time recently, but it has been a while since I’ve seen “Puhoy”; I’ll have to revisit it soon.

“I know EXACTLY which one of these pillars you MIGHT be hiding behind”

I was raised Baptist, and I really can’t say I’m surprised by this.

First, I have to recommend Way of Ramen’s YouTube channel; he makes great videos, and I use several of his recipes in my Ramen.

I make WoR’s super simple Shio tare to start Ingredients:

• 450ml Water
• 70g Sea Salt
• 25ml Hon Mirin
• 7.5ml rice Vinegar
• 25ml Usukuchi shoyu
• 5g caster sugar
• 2.5g (1/2tsp) msg

Directions:

• Bring 450ml of water to a simmer
• Add salt, stir to dissolve
• Add mirin, sugar, shoyu, vinegar, 1/2tsp MSG Stir, then let cool and store

The bowl of ramen contains the following:

• 36ml Shio Tare
• 1Tbsp Chicken fat
• 400ml Hot water (or chicken stock or any good soup you have on hand)
• Pre-made noodles (look up Hakubaku or j-basket, both should be on Amazon or in your local Asian market)
• Toppings:

• Green onions
• Sautéd Red Bell pepper (skip if I’m not in the mood)
• 1/2lb. Fried chicken tenders (the stuff from Publix is magic if you’ve got one near you)

This can all be done in one day, but the tare recipe makes enough for at least a dozen bowls, so you’ll just warm it up later.

I’ll have Sir Patrick Stewart soliloquizing about space followed by a rad fanfare as I get breakfast.

Sounds pretty cool to me.

Imagine only knowing that a people in a tourist submarine died and learning the details through a muppet meme on a 196 forum

One day we’ll have faster-than-light spaceships and computers the size of a human hair, and we’ll still be making Doom run on them

I kinda feel like Wes was the enlightened 24th century child who is validated, supported, and taken seriously by people who want him to succeed.

Except for when the writers just have the rest of the bridge crew be mean to him ("shut up, Wesley"). He makes a really good point in "Datalore" (S01E13) when telling Picard that if he was any other officer and not a teenager, his concerns about Lore impersonating Data would have been taken seriously.

We did skip a lot of Season 1, so maybe that helped my perception of him.

Not thrilled about adult swim or “grownup” fans. If this ends up being Rick and Morty but with Adventure Time characters, then I will pass. Adults can enjoy television, even animation without hearing an f-bomb every 30 seconds and without references to sexual organs.

Congrats on nabbing Brothers in Arms! That’s such an awesome album to put on and just vibe with

I use Handbrake to get my blurays into a format I can use on my Plex server so I can stream my physical media whenever I want.

Handbrake generates 10 previews for each file so you can get a sense of what it looks like, and it happened to be this frame.

There was someone who would reply to askreddit questions and spin up some story that always ended with his dad beating him with jumper cables no matter what the original question was about.

Beating your kids isn’t funny, but this guy’s stories were a riot.

I’ve been Takeshidude since I was maybe 11 back on Lego.com

Feels wrong to have any other name

Thanks for the advice here, folks.

I’ve got a technical roadblock getting my instance installed, and with stress at my job (of course also considering valid concerns raised here), I am not going to pursue running a fediverse instance at this point in time.

I plan to create this community on my instance (once I figure out how to get it running)

That looks so wonderful! I do wish I could spend more time exploring nature (work has me very busy these days).

My wife and I recently moved to a small town with a privately owned, 2000 acre forest preserve; we took a picnic lunch just a short way in a while back, and I desperately want to explore more of it.

I had just finished Voyager season 2 when they pulled it off Netflix. I’m going to have to chase down the DVDs on eBay at some point.

I did go find 1.1 a month or so ago and it was a joy to relive that

Beehaw is not federated with lemmygrad. I’ve only used Beehaw to use Lemmy and haven’t seen any posts from them whatsoever.

The Lego website was amazing! That was nearly the only part of the Internet I went on growing up.

I had moved on to other games in the Hiatus between 1.1 and 1.2, but did try 1.2 for a bit, but I didn’t fully click, and now there just seems to be so much more that it’s not the same game I loved during high school. Still rad, but Terraria 1.1 is a separate game to me.

I have right at 400 hours in Terraria, and that was all before the 1.2 version

If I were to create Communities around art/photography, am I correct to assume that all those image files would be living on my instance's storage?

Styx's most recent album Crash of the Crown (2021) is a masterpiece and easily one of their best 3; I'd also include their 2017 album The Mission in their top 3 as well. So so good.

Kansas' Point of Know Return (1977) is iconic for a lot of reasons ("Dust in the Wind", that gorgeous cover) but is phenomenal and peak Kansas (though Masque (1975) just beats it out as my personal favorite).

Brothers in Arms (1985) by Dire Straits is a magnificent one to just put on and get lost in.

I love the Eagles, but I can't say they ever put out a perfect album. Desperado (1973) is the closest I'd pick. It may be sacrilegious, but I really don't care for Hotel California (1976); the title track is spectacular, but I don't really vibe with anything else on there.

And as @_ed@sopuli.xyz mentioned, Boston (1976) is a perfect ride start to finish.

I lived just north of Atlanta all my life (until moving to South Carolina a couple months ago), and an old church near me was converted to a playhouse. I went to go see Murder on the Orient Express there with my sister.

Earlier in the year, we went to see Hadestown at the Fox Theatre in downtown Atlanta, and it was spectacular!

That sounds like a blast! I had so much fun making my own signature and exploring what people had done with theirs.

That's magnificent! Your dedication is commendable lol

That's awesome! Most of my time on the Terraria forums was not spent talking about Terraria but just shooting the breeze with people.

While I can't say I agree with the political views of the lemmy devs (at least as described in this article, as I have no other reference point), I think that it shows one of the really cool things about the fediverse. So what if those guys over there are weirdos? I can take the ball they gave me and go play somewhere else with other people.
