The problem with that is, Japan was willing to fight on after the first bomb. They tried labelling it a natural disaster at first; if the second bomb wasn’t dropped, they probably wouldn’t have surrendered. Sure they could have waited longer to confirm that, but then there’s more troops dying on both sides while they wait - more unnecessary deaths.

I’ll eat up anything they put out:
Perun (War economics, logistics, procurement, etc)
The Chieftain (Tank history and doctrine)
CGP Grey (Deep dives on random topics)
The Operations Room (High quality visualizations of historical battles)
The Intel Report (Followup topics related to Operations Room)
dnsl (Trolling in games)

Channels I’ll binge on once in a while:
Drachinifel (Naval history)
agadmator (Chess breakdowns)
Forgotten Weapons (Firearm history and mechanics)
Lockpicking Lawyer (Lock history and picking)
LifesAGlitchTV (StarCraft 2 commentary duo)
Spookston (War Thunder gameplay)
The Tank Museum (More tank history)
Real Engineering (Deep dives on interesting engineering)
Scott Manley (Space & rocketry related topics)

Oh it’s long dead now; this is what it looked like back then though

I bailed from Firefox for about a year after they added the godawful Firefox button (4.0 maybe?); then I got fed up with Chrome and by that point there was an extension to remove the Firefox button

I just think drone strikes with sword bombs are cool as fuck, and I’m tired of pretending that they’re not

Go big or go home

For me, remembering numbers; like ID numbers, part numbers, phone numbers, etc. When I worked as a parts guy at a shop, I would frequently be able to bring up the exact part that fits the customer’s machine assuming I had looked it up once or twice before. If it was something I hadn’t looked at in a while I’d still usually double check fitment, but I probably had a 99% accuracy on part numbers.

I haven’t used them in a while, but I used to go to Calgary Computer Wholesale

My city has a couple mom-and-pop type businesses doing it, I’d hazard a guess it’s similar elsewhere - never heard of any ‘big name’ outfits doing it on any real scale.

Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn’t need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they’re always written with Ubuntu and it’s default commands and packages in mind so it’s just easier to work with

Ah yeah I see what you mean, I can usually guess what someone’s replying to since I don’t post a huge amount but now that you mention it it really should it directly in the inbox

What issue are you having with comment context in Liftoff? Seems to work for me; I get it through Obtanium though so maybe it’s an older version issue for you

If there is one I haven’t seen it; I think there’s naturally a bit more of a Linux crowd here though, maybe that’s why there’s less gaming content (yeah yeah “Linux can play games toooooo”)

Most games I can think of have been mentioned, but I found Signalis to be an interesting experience assuming you can get past the annoying inventory management

Well yes but have you considered that the game is fucking amazing

It’s weird to me that so many people have a hard time figuring out Lemmy; honestly for the average user, the process is:

1. Join big instance
2. Browse and search from there

Searching for communities could use a bit of work to make it easier (for example, I shouldn’t have to have the full community link to search for one from a federated instance if nobody on my instance has subscribed; why aren’t community lists updated automatically?) but the basic experience is pretty easy to get into

We aren’t barbarians around here; we use Xbox 360 controllers.

Canada here - tap water is just fine, I filter it at home since I prefer the taste but I’ve never been adverse to drinking it straight
