This seems like a fun way to create new creatures. Take existing skeletons and just try to plop on flesh in unique ways.

If the server owner gives the bot access to those permissions and the users have activity sharing enabled, yep.

I realized that I was accidentally voting on posts while scrolling in Jerboa.

The CD Key written on the CD was a very famous infinite license key that pretty much everyone who had a pirated copy of windows was using. You also used to need to reformat more often for a clean wipe of your computer, so many people got used to entering this specific key.

Turns out you can click the link and find out! It links to a very short Bluesky post! Try it out! Lemmy has more than just headlines!
- Comment on Accurate 1 month ago:
For real. It’s so frustrating how someone will just text “let’s hang out” or “let’s play games tonight” and it’s always me who has to go the extra step of “OK sure how about 7?”
- Comment on Transitioning in STEM 2 months ago:
Sorry, but this sounds exactly like what male privilege is. Assuming that it doesn’t happen near you because you haven’t noticed it.
Ask your female friends what sorts of sexism they genuinely face regularly and I think you’ll learn a lot.
- Comment on Anyone want to watch The Room? We're doing it now 2 months ago:
Did you watch it by yourself or in a group?
Bad movies are much better in groups.
- Comment on Ben Starr recieves Balatro's BAFTA award in a clown costume 2 months ago:
Chess is a war game. Killing and violence in general are devastating. It’d be interesting to compare the brain activity of a murderer with a grandmaster player. I have my suspicions about what we would see.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 months ago:
Eh, still about 50-50 with these people. I’ve sent an email with 4 nicely formatted and numbered questions and had them respond only to question 3. Like… You read some of it, decided to answer one, and then give up with no other acknowledgement? Shit is wild.
- Comment on Justice Dept. Official Says She Was Fired After Opposing Restoring Mel Gibson’s Gun Rights 3 months ago:
Somehow I read “fired upon” and I was imagining Mel Gibson just shooting at them until they agreed to restore the gun rights.
- Comment on Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing 3 months ago:
It’s obviously not great for the type of community that’s about knowledge sharing and learning, and it does suck that a lot of communities went there.
But it’s a great platform for simple social servers that are just about communicating. It’s super easy to sign up and set up a server. A lot of it just works well for chat.
Them going public probably puts a timer on the service though, so if it happens Discord probably just will get worse.

For me the problem is technicians who are arriving during some multi hour window of time.
- Comment on James Lee - How I Broke up with Adobe [An animator with 850K subscribers talks about using Adobe alternatives and switching to Linux] 5 months ago:
Everyone has different thresholds for action. When you’re talking about replacing your entire professional toolset, it might make sense that they were resistent.
- Comment on Anon is a winner 5 months ago:
100% agree. It’s just a huge slog of everything being terrible for Harry for the whole book. Absolutely the worst in the series.
- Comment on Anon's PC works 5 months ago:
Very well put! I’d also add that most people aren’t even really conscious that that’s the reason that they’re mad. There’s ways to express your negative opinion without stating it as a fact or downplaying the other person’s taste.
- Comment on Skyrim Is 13 Years Old, But Elder Scrolls 6 Is Nowhere in Sight While Bethesda’s First Four Games Took Only 12 Years 7 months ago:
Most Bethesda RPGs are going for bredth instead of depth. They give you a giant world to explore and usually throw you into that world with complete freedom relatively quickly.
I generally agree that Skyrim (and Oblivion to be honest) aren’t particularly strong games when you look at pretty much any individual system, and the games don’t interest me much, but I totally get the appeal.
- Comment on How different would the world be if school never ended but you could leave and come back anytime you elect to? 10 months ago:
School isn’t just learning the stuff in the classes. It’s the shared experience too. It’s the teachers holding you accountable for learning.
“Going to school” is a very different thing than just trying to learn on your own. Self motivation and time are a huge barrier for a lot of people. I think the OP was imagining being able to go to school every day and just take classes for free with other people also interested.

Almost all the airlines are doing that these days.
- Comment on Amazon Contractors can't even sing in their cars now. Unions protect against this micromanagement. 10 months ago:
Until we can make crossing those lines painful for those companies, they’ll keep doing it. Unfortunately, I think convenience is always going to beat morality if you leave it to “voting with your dollar”, we need actual regulations from our governments to combat this shit.
- Comment on Spin Rhythm XD 10 months ago:
It’s really great, isn’t it? I tried to get some friends into it but it seems like I’m the only one who enjoys rhythm games. I really like The Magician I think
- Comment on How to treat a man 10 months ago:
Isn’t that the status quo? I guess it’s not really fathers to daughters, but most women I know went through some amount of “here’s how to be a good wife” lessons from their mothers or family. I think women get a lot of “traditional gender roles” training that’s mostly about being caretakers.
Usually people putting forth this kinda “women should learn how to care for their man” attitude are coming from a conservative “traditional family values” position.
Really, we should be teaching people how to ask about and learn the needs of their partner, and how to determine your own needs and communicate those to your partner. Basic emotional intelligence stuff. It doesn’t have to be gendered at all.
- Comment on Anon is asking the difficult questions 11 months ago:
I don’t necessarily disagree, and everyone is different, but you should consider that it’s not just you that changes. You change WITH your partner. You grow TOGETHER. I am absolutely different than I was 10 years ago, and so is she, but that doesn’t mean that we’re no longer compatible. Our growth contributed to each other’s growth.
I do think people should be maybe… less attached? You should regularly evaluate your relationship to see if it’s working. Shared interests aren’t even always necessary (as long as they at least show interest in what you like and vice versa). But that is very hard and many people would rather not be alone.

Honestly, and what a good episode!
- Comment on Horizon Forbidden West is now available on PC 1 year ago:
The place where it broke down for me was a moment where, as part of the main quest of the game, a character asks Aloy to help with a very emotionally personal request (help figure out what happened to his dead sister), and Aloy starts off with “that’s your war, not mine” and is super reluctant. Then, not 2 minutes later, I talk to a side quest NPC asking for help investigating a stolen heirloom, and Aloy is like “yeah sure, I have time for that and also maybe I could run and get your grocieries and do your dry cleaning and whatever else no problem.”
- Comment on Horizon Forbidden West is now available on PC 1 year ago:
The world of the first one is 10/10, and maybe the “story” is fine, but the actual writing in the first was awful. The sidequests were especially bad.
- Comment on The Steam Spring Sale is now in full swing 1 year ago:
It helps, but you can’t do that to talk to people. Some of the shop keepers are surrounded by so much stuff you can pick up, and even being very careful I accidentally triggered at least 4 fights. My wife missed out at talking to Rafael at last light because she accidentally picked up the chess board that he’s playing (he literally just disappears).
