What does this even mean?

I just checked Lemmy stats - how is it possible that we lost 400 000 users recently? If people check it out and leave for good, wouldn’t that still be counted in the user base?

Basically there are two color models, additive and substractive. RGB is additive - turning on red it triggers the red receptors in the eye. If you turn on all three it triggers all your color receptors and you’ll see white. That is all the visible spectrum, if you look at the Sun (which you shouldn’t) you perceive it as white even if the maximum of the emission is at green.

When mixing paint (subtractive model, like CMYK on printers) if you mix all colors, they absorb different part of the light and don’t reflect anything visible for you, and you’ll see black(ish)

What if you sell everything and work for 237 more years?

Has anyone tried this? What are your opinions?

Any turn-based strategy game could be good - you can stop playing Civilization any time you want, right? There’s no need to go one more turn

I didn’t say this happened yesterday :)

If I remember correctly, the last bulk addition of countries happened sometimes in summer, we traveled to the Czech republic with a passport on Friday, and came back without it on Sunday, and it was definitely not a New Year

Great that I didn’t consider subscription for a second.

Great, few more reasons to stay away from that. I thought the whole point of the reddit/fediverse thing was that you used an anonymous nick that is purged from time to time. Who cares about followers? There are interesting things discussed, that’s it.

Thanks for this, I’m replaying Curse of Monkey Island now, and I’m just before the tomb scene :)

Just a small addition to the other comments, who kinda wrote already everything that’s important - for your first play try to look for an experienced dungeon master (that might be a good idea independent of the actual meaning of the phrase), it might kill the mood if everyone is trying to figure out the rules at the same time

Forwarding our neighbor’s experience - just start playing some easy things, do maybe an online video course, and you’ll probably notice you’re advancing pretty nicely. Especially comparing to e.g., me, who started from zero at a similar age. It will come back quickly, motoric skills are not like dates in history class. I’d say suppose you know nothing, build up from the basics quickly rather than stress that you can’t play what you could decades ago

Thanks, I posted it here, because I didn’t know of any more fitting community, I’ll look into it!

Thanks! Nextcloud could be a good solution, given that we already have that server running – do they have an app inside or just a text file? I’m not the admin of that cloud, so can’t check any extra options personally

That’s pretty f*cked up. Sure, there are some jobs where you can make a decent contribution at that age – historian? librarian? sure, why not. But please don’t force bus drivers to keep working until that age

In Hungarian news this appeared as “Hungary continuously talks with Turkey on the issue” instead of “pledge support”

That’s a lovely site!

OK, I’ll remind you on 2028 July 5 10:49:32UTC!

(I wrote a memo on a yellow post-it sticker, I hope I won’t loose it by next week)

But would it work with spherical servers in vacuum?
