Parenting, since our first child was born in September of 2020. Still giving it a go. We just had a 2nd child this July, so I guess you could say things are getting pretty serious.

I love games, but even when I was playing a lot of multiplayer, it was never really a strong competitive thing for me. We hit our stride right after school because we were all spread out across the country, but nobody had too serious of a job or relationship to devote much time to. We would all lobby up, and just use the voice chat to bust chops and generally chat while the game was happening in the background.

Now, most of the people I played with don't really have games in their life anymore, so they're all at least 1 console generation behind. I'm married with 2 tiny children. I still play a bit, but it's not organized, scheduled time.. It's basically whenever I can squeeze in an hour or so (usually either after everybody goes to sleep, or before anybody else wakes up). For this reason, I usually play single-player games, or if I'm playing multiplayer, it's online with randos.

Now that you mention it I would REALLY like to get some of my friends playing Deep Rock. I've had nothing but good times playing with randos, but MAN it would be good to mess around with good friends.

I don't know what CUPS is, but I had 3 major reservations about switching my barely functional computer to Linux:

  1. Ive never worked in Linux before
  2. My dive computer only uploads to proprietary software using a proprietary cable.
  3. My Brother laser printer was working SO well wirelessly. It's the first time I've ever not hated my printer

Turns out some amazing people made open source dive logging software so I can still download my dives.

And for printing, I meant to get around to setting it up, then one day I forgot and accidentally printed something and it just worked. I was so shocked that for a bit I assumed that reformatting the hard drive and changing operating systems must've somehow preserved my printer settings.

Yup! I had a little difficulty communicating with the computer, but all I had to do was add my user to the "dial-out" group and it worked like a charm.

I had an apartment in Indiana. When I gave directions to my house I used to say, "turn right at the traffic light. There's corn on the left, my house is on the right. If you hit the soy you've gone too far."

I read the article expecting to find some mitigating circumstances, like maybe he was underage. Turns out he's 22 and that sentence includes the punishment for other swatting calls, and DDoS attacks against French government sites. This seems like a shockingly lenient sentence, but I have to acknowledge that almost everything seems shockingly lenient when you come from a place with the largest incarcerated population in the world.

3 years of community service and mandatory mental health care will probably help this dude a lot more than locking him up for 5 years with violent criminals.

Previous passengers recall ill-fated Titan: 'I 100% knew this was going to happen' (apnews.com)

Talk to someone who went on previous trips on the Titan submersible and they’re likely to mention a technology glitch. The propulsion system failed or the communications with people on the surface cut out. They are also likely to mention Stockton Rush. He's the OceanGate Expeditions CEO who died this week on the sub. Rush has...

I kinda want to make a sign out of that (with proper attribution and a watermark of the Titan sub) and put it on our manufacturing floor.

While you're waiting on a kbin app, you should know the mobile site is entirely functional as a mobile app. Just make a shortcut for your home screen (kbin.social)

Apps are always nice, but lots of mobile websites, including the kbin one, are entirely functional as an app. In your browser you can just make a shortcut to them, and they'll appear on your home screen and act as an app....

Screenshot of kbin on Firefox, with the Install button. Then the kbin icon on the home screen. Then kbin opened from the shortcut

You can, you just have to scroll to the bottom of all the comments.

My apologies, I don't know if you never saw it, there, or if you saw it there and just didn't like it.

[Solved] Despite searching multiple times for my magazine on lemmy instances, I can't seem to find it. Am I missing something? (kbin.social)

I created a magazine @VegetableGardening for my hobby and I'm trying to get the word out there. Unfortunately I can't seem to be able to "federate" it to Lemmy. I've tried searching with "all" enabled on lemmy.world and lemmy.ml, but all it does is show me my own comment mentionning the magazine on another federated magazine....

From vlemmy.net, I first searched for !vegetablegardening and found nothing.

Then I searched for https://kbin.social/m/vegetablegardening and found it.

It's better than "no censorship". It's "whatever censorship you and your instance agree on".

Don't like the rules at beehaw? Cool, leave beehaw! Too many boobs in your "all" feed? Cool, block the domain or join an instance that doesn't federate with them. It's just SO much better this way for everybody.

Specifically, when I google stuff about how kbin works, I see the only answers are on Reddit and then I'm in a real pickle.
