Jerboa has been a really similar experience to Boost so far, compared to other Lemmy apps. However, Boost had some features I've been missing dearly, I'm so glad to hear this!

I'll definitely use it when it releases!

Guess I'm an outlier, compared to other commenters? I love languages, have learned French, Spanish and Latin, and currently learning Irish. Even a little of a language goes a long way to connecting with other people, be it family or strangers!

But coding? I can never get into it, never really enjoyed it. I wish I could, the benefits are obvious, but it's just not for me!

I happened to have just made the switch to Linux Mint the other day. I'm glad I did, because this would have made me switch anyway.

I imagine a lot of people will live with it. As well, Windows is used extensively by businesses, and their offices already require a constant internet connection to meaningfully function anyway.

Apologies for necroposting, but this seemed like the right place to ask. I am a returning player, after having not played in many years.

However, when I log in, I haven't the first idea of what to do and my character is progressed enough that there are no walkthroughs / tutorials available to me.

Is it possible to reset progress on my character, or start fresh without needing to create a new account entirely? Thanks for your help.

I would love to see a change to either decimal or dozenal time! Though the time format we use now is just so well-established and for many, intuitive. Additionally, every country - or at least a vast majority - would need to adopt the change in time, or that would present even more issues (GPS, times zone travel, international meetings /zoom calls, etc.). Not impossible, but still a challenge.

A feature of dozenal that I, too, appreciate is, as you say yourself, being divisible into both thirds and fourths of an hour neatly.

Ah, maybe one day!

This is really interesting! It reminds me of the time I was looking into (apologies if this is a little off-topic) the decimal clock, which broke the day into tenths. It was almost adopted in France a few hundred years ago, if I remember correctly.

The advantage I can see in using the dozenal clock, however, is in expressing the time in dozenals (as in, as an analogue to decimals).

For example, when using the standard notation; 20 mins would convert to 0.333... hours. However in dozenal, it would seem to convert to 0.4(I think?) Which is nicer to deal with than repeating numbers.

I didn't know this about lynels being under stables. So I checked my map, as I had marked each lynel I encountered in the depths, and you're right! Each one is directly under a stable!

I've heard in another post on this topic that NewPipe scrapes the videos from YouTube, acting like a normal user, and presents you with the videos without ads. Supposedly, YouTube would find it very hard to block NewPipe's method as a result.

I use ReVanced, so I'm not so sure how safe I am. May have to move to NewPipe if we end up affected by this.

Strongly agree with both yours and OP's sentiments. There's little use dwelling on Reddit now, and we have something really special starting here on Lemmy / Kbin / the Fediverse.

It's been great to see various communities grow and adapt to the changes since this all took off.

Great news, thanks for the heads-up! Hopefully, though, we get some way to search both Lemmy communities and Kbin magazines through one browser.

Having to use browse.feddit.de and kbin.social/magazines separately doesn't seem optimal.

Ah okay, thanks for letting me know

The stand-out part of the season for me is the dungeon. Having an absolute blast running it with clanmates! Though, when I get The Navigator, I will likely run it less often.

The rest of the season, while I like where the narrative is going, just really isn't doing it for me. Salvage is very lackluster, but Deep Dives are quite refreshing! Love the rogue-lite elements applied.

I would play the Deep Dives more, if the seasonal weapons were worth grinding out. Nothing really stands out to me, to be honest. Makes the seasonal activities less inviting.
