Eh, I don't know if CDPR is the best role model...

Good ole Jeff Cannata!

Gene Hackman died one week after his wife in c/world

Damn, that's terrible... Did they not have family or someone to check in on them regularly? I guess if she was 65, they thought he was in good hands...

I don't know how easy it is to contact hantavirus. Does it take one rat or a lot?

Kevin Rose, Alexis Ohanian acquire Digg in c/technology

[–] ytsedude 4 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, that wss disappointing to read. Based off the new Diggnation episodes, I was hoping Kevin would offer something a bit more genuine and authentic--and who knows, maybe it'll turn out to be incredible--but I'm not keeping my hopes up.

It'd have to be the first or second way. Humans don't have spherical noses, yet we still use a ball for the clown nose.

What hyped thing did you fall for that you now regret and have to live with? in c/asklemmy

"Spore." That video with Wil Wright showing it off was incredible. Ordered it from Amazon. CD key was no good. EA didn't give two shits. After over a week of dealing with them via support tickets and calls, I gave up and just returned it.

Meanwhile, my friend pirated it, played through the whole thing, and said it was just ok.

What are some good reasons to NOT end your own life? in c/asklemmy

[–] ytsedude 5 points 1 week ago

Call me crazy, but typically when someone asks for reasons to not kill themselves, depression is involved. Maybe OP was just starting conversation, but given the question and the increasing rate of people struggling with depression, I thought I'd offer my thoughts. I don't believe this answer was condescending.

Losing someone to suicide sucks. I'm willing to bet there is at least one person in your life who would be sad (or perhaps devastated) if you suddenly died. Even if it means continuing on while unhappy, don't put that person through such an ordeal.

Depression is a temporary condition. It feels like it'll last forever and that life can never go back to the way it was, but that's not true. It might change you, and that change might be for the worse, but you can escape it. You can. It's hard, but it'll be worth once you're on the other side.

Start by seeking professional help. There are affordable (and, depending on your area, perhaps free) options out there. Then, change how your mind thinks. Don't let those thoughts rule you. Fight them! You can do it!

That's why he elected him.

Huh... OK.

Americans will probably get one chance to stand against fascists taking over their country. I don't want to be on the sidelines when it happens. in c/showerthoughts

The enshittification continues...

Is there a way to play without having to deal with ads (or their over-priced subscription)?

Constantly having to re-enter password (self.memmy)

submitted 2 years ago by ytsedude to c/[email protected]

5 comments fedilink

I'm really enjoying Lemmy and Memmy so far, but even after downloading yesterday's update, I'm constantly having to re-enter my password.

If I force close the app and re-open it, I need to enter my password. If I just minimize the app for a minute or more, I have to enter my password when I come back. If I don't enter my password, it doesn't show any of my subscriptions.

Is there a fix I'm overlooking? Again, I downloaded yesterday's update and double-checked to make sure there's not another update available (as of right now, there's not). I'm using Lemmy.world if that makes a difference.

Thanks for any help!
