I'm not up to date with American politics. Do you pre-drink before third party or is the second party enough to give you a buzz?

Your voting system is broken. You can present yourself as a hero who is fighting against the system, but all you are doing is letting someone who will commit more atrocities into power.

Elect Harris. Protest peacefully. Put pressure on her that way.

One thing I heard from somewhere is to pick a random word. Then for each letter in it, think of a random animal. Then pick another random word and repeat.

Supposedly this mimics the brain activity during sleep and dreaming, which tricks your brain into actually sleeping. No idea if it's effective or not though.

I tried Cosmic and quite liked it. Just waiting for them to add a gnome 2 style window list widget with the window names.

There is, but I use a hipster keyboard layout and they don't support alternate keyboard layouts yet.

The lack of primary selection/middle click paste. I select text, try to paste it and then have to sheepishly go back and actually copy it for realsies.

I used to get annoyed at the lack of multiple workspaces, but since switching to a multi-monitor setup, I don't really use multiple workspaces any more.

Cinnamon. Desktop environment peaked in the Windows XP/Gnome 2 days and everything else is just change for the shake of change. :C

My only annoyance is lack of Wayland support. Tried out cosmic, but it doesn't have the Windows XP/Gnome 2 style window list.

Screenshot for anyone interested:

If there's a post or something on another instance but not your one, you can enter the full URL into the search bar and it will fetch it and make it available on your instance (unless defeds get in the way).

Works on both Lemmy and Mastodon.

If it turns out to actually be a problem, people can just fork Linux itself.

Ooh, I love the simplicity of these designs. Feels very much like they could have developed organically over time.

I have a Fairphone 5. Maybe too expensive for what it is, but hopefully it doesn't have a big evil annoying company behind it and it should hopefully last a while. Still running stock Android on it though, because I don't want to lose Play Attestation or whatever it is called.

The camera can sign things however it wishes, but that doesn't automatically make the camera trustworthy.

In the same sense, I can sign any number of documents claiming to have seen a crime take place but that doesn't make it sufficient evidence.

Got sent this, and the animation is actually quite well done for how simple it is.

It's fun, and well worth looking at if you like smash.

Been playing this game a bit. Can't comment on how good it is compared to actual battlefield, but I've been having fun.

Currently in (free) beta, not sure how long they are doing their playtest for though.

Interesting piece of webdev solving.

Stumbled upon this game and had fun with the demo. Might be up some people's alley.

Hey all, I'm British so I don't really know the ins and outs of the US healthcare system. Apologies for asking what is probably a rather simple question.

So like most of you, I see many posts and gofundmes about people having astronomically high medical bills. Most recently, someone having a $27k bill even after his death.

However, I have an American friend who is quick to point out that apparently nobody actually pays those bills. They're just some elaborate dance between insurance companies and hospitals. If you don't have insurance, the cost is lower or removed entirely. Supposedly.

So I'm just asking... How accurate is that? Consider someone without insurance, a minor physical ailment, a neurodivergent mind and no interest in fighting off harassing people for the rest of their life.

How much would such a person expect to pay, out of their own pocket, for things like check ups, x rays, meds, counselling and so on?

I recently played through a demo for a game called Pinball Spire on steam, and it put me in the mood for playing pinball games. Unfortunately, and I don't know if this is just due to me having bad google-foo, there don't seem to be that many on Steam that catch my interest.

So figured I may as well make a thread asking about what the "state of the art" of pinball video games is. Some of the ones I've played:

  • Sonic Spinball: Very janky, but very unique and I don't think I've seen anyone try to do anything similar to it.
  • Pokémon Pinball and Sonic Pinball Party: Fairly standard pinball games, tbh. They're both on handhelds so they can't do that much.
  • Demon's Tilt and Xenotilt: Just really fun feeling arcade pinball games with a really fun tilt mechanic.

So yeah, know any good PC or console pinball games?

Oh, and can someone help me: I vaguely remember seeing a stream of a pinball game for the Mega Drive/SNES where the ball goes through multiple tables. Does anyone know what that game was called, if it even exists?

So another thread ( https://lemmy.world/post/17746018 ) got me wondering... How many people would want to move to another country?

Just to provide a concrete scenario, let's assume that in your current country you (magically) have a decent-ish job. They open up offices in another country of your choosing, and you have the option of moving there and work for an equivalent living wage.

They're able to get visas set up (however improbable that may be) for you and any family, but you have to go through the process of finding housing, physically moving your belongings and anything else you need to set up.

What countries would you take the offer to move to, if any?

Not my photo or mastodon, but figured it would be worth sharing.

I love the cardboard visor.
