I haven't read the article, probably won't, doesn't really interest me. But I thought the title pretty clearly implies you don't play as the shooter. I'm surprised others didn't interpret the same way.

Calgary has reversed that decision, but hasn't added flouride back to the water yet. It's expected in Q1 2025.

It's especially useful if you find a window is stuck off screen after disconnecting a monitor.

can’t recall if it’s out of the box or if I configured that

That's out of the box. No configuration necessary. The default behaviour in Plasma when pressing the Windows key is to open the application menu where you can start typing to find what you want. In fact it's kind of a pain to disable that, and will sometimes re-enable itself randomly as I recently found out (I prefer WIN+D to open the app menu from my i3 days, and I work in an RDP connection to a windows machine where I would prefer to be able to just press WIN to open that menu and not KDEs menu.)

What's worse is that YouTube sometimes doesn't do that, i.e. when you hit back it shows the same list from the cache or something. It gives you hope and makes it worse on those occasions when it does fully refresh on back.

I can't really explain it. I was as surprised as anyone when I realized I can't remember the last time I saw a mosquito.

It's Calgary, Canada. The climate is fairly arid, but there are definitely mosquitos in the area. I just haven't seen one in a long time, despite being outside for at least a couple of hours every day.

I suspect if I walked along the river more I'd see some though.

I really only know of this word because of Scott Manley

They exist here. I just live inner city and never see them.

I can't actually remember the last time I even saw a mosquito.

It's the same story in US and Canada. Illegal, but not really enforced. And when it is enforced the the penalties aren't strong enough to be a deterrent.

The Y2K issue was real, but a lot of people spent a lot of effort to fix it before it became a problem. The dire warnings were exaggerated, it was never going to end the world, but the problem really did exist and it really could have led to some pretty serious issues especially with financial institutions.

If you're the type of gamer that gets sucked into Rimworld, then Dwarf Fortress will very likely consume you.

 

I somehow got into a state where Lae'zel couldn't be interacted with. I'll put the rest in a spoiler tag for those that don't want to know the details.

spoiler

Lae'zel woke me up during the night and challenged me to a fight because she couldn't stop thinking about me. She was down bad, lol. Anyway, I agreed and killed her dead, then revivified her. Well, that broke her. From then on I couldn't talk to her, couldn't interact with her at all, and she wouldn't join combat.

When I got into a fight, she remained outside of the fight and could act with impunity. I was literally able to take control of her and go up to each enemy and kill them dead without using any turns. This is obviously very broken. So beware.

Luckily, I was able to resolve it by loading a save from before the fateful event, and only lost an hour of progress.

 

Lemmy doesn't do spoilers the same way that Reddit does. Sync appears to still be using the reddit style of spoilers, i.e. >!spoiler!<, however on the web-ui those are visible to users, and the spoilers that web users use in the editor which look like this:

Aren't hidden in Sync. Consider this a PSA for users of Sync that may want to avoid spoilers or avoid spoiling others. Personally, I'd like to see >!spoiler!< supported more widely on Lemmy, but in the meantime this should probably be addressed in Sync.
