I do this too. I would need them if I lost my phone, so bitwarden/keepass is a good place for them to be.

I think it is less secure though since someone who somehow has the unencrypted vault without your 2FA device could get in with the codes - but if someone cracks my master password I’m screwed in a whole bunch of ways so I’m not sure it matters too much at that point.

Could have brought viashino into D&D. They were introduced in MTG in 1998 so could have been added for 3rd edition. I kinda wish they had pulled more of magic’s original species into D&D earlier, there are some cool ones.

This doesn’t seem accurate at all. The census itself doesn’t display this info, is it from their website? Race is self reported so I don’t get why a origin map is relevant. Also, the US census does not consider hispanic/Latino to be a racial category. Folks who select that option for ethnicity are ALSO asked to select race seperately.

I haven’t stepped up to using Nextcloud or my own hosted server, so I’m just using Proton Calendar. The free version is pretty limited though.

Great rec

Wow what an awesome map, very fun to scroll around: https://easyzoom.com/imageaccess/ec482e04c2b240d4969c14156bb6836f

Only thing that could make it better would be small icons showing the most notable goods transported on each. I can guess but I bet there would be some surprises

Circassia and that Greek Empire are both pretty bold predictions for 1863, along with a World Capital in Lisbon. I wonder what Dron would have predicted for Anatolia… maybe some sort of renewed Caliphate across the mideast? I think it’s interesting that Gdansk/Danzig seems to be in Germany but Konigsberg/Kaliningrad is in Poland. Seems like a pretty arbitrary straight line border there, I guess Dron couldn’t predict a border at our current one after Germany lost two world wars.

Absolutely inspired

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your personal take on the whole thing. As someone who has never been fat, I’m trying to figure out what’s the whole deal with the various movements around it. I feel it’s gonna become a much bigger cultural discussion in the next decade. And congrats on getting down to a happier weight for you! Setting and reaching goals is definitely something to be celebrated.

I downvoted because this is a popular opinion. MCU is the same thing. Most people probably don’t have a strong opinion on Star Wars either way, but for the people who do there are plenty who think it sucks.

I’ve been thinking about this topic a lot lately and your comment is interesting. Your first sentence is definitely phrased in a more controversial way than the rest of your comment, but I can’t help seeing it as very similar to “Being depressed is a choice the vast majority of the time, and I have a huge bias against depressed people.” Is that an unfair comparison?

I know that treating fatness/obesity as a disease is kinda controversial but I feel like folks give people dealing with mental health a lot more grace than people dealing with health issues related to being fat. I’ve also heard that for some people they can be perfectly healthy at a higher weight (though this is clearly not the case for many fat people who are seeing health impacts). I guess I’m assuming that a lot of fat people would potentially like to be less so, but can’t (for any number of reasons) quite get there. This seems really similar for me to people dealing with depression, anxiety, etc who want to change things but keep falling back into the problem.

I guess my question is do you have bias against people who can’t escape other bad cycles like mental health or even stuff like alcoholism? Or is it more just that you think it’s fair to judge people without the discipline/willpower to get out of a state they didn’t want to be in, like you did.

If you’re referring to the city in English you would say “bo-LO-nya” to approximate the original. I’ve heard it on the radio/podcasts before. It’s not very commonly referenced so trying to get closer to the original is probably right. Unlike Paris, where you are seen as pretentious if you pronounce it the French way.

Try !astronomy@mander.xyz

Mander is generally a science-focused instance, so there are a lot of sciency /c’s there

There are so many communities being heroically held aloft by 1 or 2 serial posters. My favorite is !quackers@lemmy.world

Yes, this is true for subscribers. There are websites you can find that will show you total subscribers for a community if you are curious.

I’m pretty sure this can’t be true for upvotes though. I regularly see posts that have more upvotes than there are accounts on my local instance.

The only reason I ask is because I’ve noticed the subscriber counts on some communities seem very low vs. the amount of engagement.

This could also happen because a lot of people are browsing All, and not subscribing.

Hmm, that link didn’t work for me. You might need to fix it

I also use Startpage and have been happy with it. It uses Google’s search engine as the backend but cuts out the tracking and personalized ads so I feel like it is the best of both worlds.

It’s the USA; Northern Virginia, capital region.

Yeah this same thing happened to me. I rarely get messages in signal anymore and can’t reliably know who still has it installed. It’s great for folks you are in regular communication with though.
