Sometimes discuss.tchncs.de goes down, and lemmy.world is my other saved set of credentials on Voyager so I switch briefly to continue using Lemmy. It's 3 taps to change accounts on Voyager.

I'd find someone else. I quit using lemmy.world 5 months ago because they kept defederating with everyone, and I moved to a different instance.

And that man’s name? Albert Einstein

According to the second video I linked, a resident of Kowloon spent the better part of six years mapping out the city. Here's the timestamp: https://youtu.be/PcSBOUpgngM?t=794

 

I came across a video on Youtube discussing it (there are several), and Kowloon Walled City is just endlessly fascinating. A few notable videos I found on the subject were:

The Densest City on Earth

Kowloon Walled City: Hong Kong's City of Darkness

Inside Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City

There is also a book on the city called City Of Darkness Life In Kowloon Walled City, which I found on archive.org in high resolution. It is full of photographs and detailed accounts of the comings and goings within the enclave.

I mean the man is directly responsible for blocking several Supreme Court justices from being appointed while Obama was president, which led to roe v wade being overturned so uh, Moscow Mitch couldn’t drop dead any faster in my opinion.

I’ve got 40 hours in this game. It’s a good game, especially with friends.

 

I don't know who needs to hear this where, but being able to sort a user's comments by controversial would be a quick way to get a gauge on how generally inflammatory a user is when moderating one of their comments.

Am I on your blocklist? I’ve done some cross posting of my own content. Things have settled down now, but I know for awhile there it wasn’t really clear which communities were going to take off.

The title of this article seems rather sensational and misleading because it doesn’t cite or explain the 8 million cars anywhere and neither does the study it’s sourcing as far as I can tell. A quick web search says 8 million cars is 1/4 of all the cars on the road in the United Kingdom. That seems like too large of a number.

Oh I know. I’ve just been burned many times in the past with upgrading iOS on older phones so I generally avoid it these days until I have a compelling reason to upgrade. Forced obsolescence and all that

Thanks for the quick reply! I just wanted to confirm it wasn’t something superficial. I’ll look into updating and see what the performance hit looks like

 
 
 

In true antique meme fashion, I pulled out the outdated pirated copy of photoshop that I have no idea how to use for this one.

 
 

I am looking to make some last minute purchases to play with one or more friends, and I have poked around Steam's Co-Op page. I'm curious what new co-op games everyone on Lemmy is playing.

I just picked up Raft and Deep Rock Galactic the other day, but you can never have too many new (never played) games!

 

For all the chocolate lovers out there, careful because effectively all dark chocolates have lead and cadmium in them. Lead is especially dangerous and some brands have alarmingly high amounts.

This is possibly never before seen footage of the employee-only museum at NoA in ridiculously high quality thanks to Noclip. There is no narration, and the video is uncut.

It was in a small lake in Washington, and I noticed it as I was about to drive home.
