They smell really pretty, too.

Oh, the irony if a remote employee rents an apartment made from their old office building.

You don't hold hands in public? You've never gently kissed an SO in public? Does everyone around you think "Oh my god, those people are probably having sex." No, because it's perfectly accepted for a man and woman to hold hands or kiss in public. Gays should have that level of acceptance, too. But they don't because people like you are saying they should have no pride in their relationships.

That's all pride is. Being yourself and not hiding in a closet. And it applies to the transgendered, gender queers, asexual, and the whole rainbow.

"ThOsE tHiNgS sHoUld be kEpT PrIvaTe"

This is why we need pride month! To let people know it's OK to be queer and not hide in a closet. People like you are why we need pride to be a thing. A very-out-in-the-open thing. You need constant reminders until you fully understand what a fight it's been—and still is—for acceptance. Acceptance won't come from hiding away. It demands people stand proud.

That's what pride means! So anyone can feel OK holding hands in public or simply existing! It has nothing to do with sex or anything private.

Be better.

Lawnchair is almost exactly like Pixel Launcher except you can do things like remove the search bar, change the icon counts, and stop the app tray search bar from searching the web (or switch it to another search provider).

I've been using it for months and couldn't be happier.

Incidentally, it wasn't until about 10 minutes ago that I realized "Lawnchair" is just "Launcher" if you pronounced it in a French accent.

On Android, entering lockdown mode does the same thing. You can do it by pressing volume-up and power at the same time, then tapping Lockdown.

I have no problems with either. 🤷‍♂️ The site and all of their apps work fine.

Thanks. 24.03.26 is just the date of the release

Would it help if I said "fuck off"?

I was simply quoting the article you linked.

It's probably just different plants. If it can't be reproduced in the 10 years since the one study, why do you presume the study is correct?

Fast forward in emulators. Also, the menu toggle in Retro Arch.

In Dungeons of Dredmor, an old mouse and KB roguelike, the community made a good layout where every button is mapped to a keyboard key to open the various inventory and crafting windows, etc. With the track pad right there to act as a mouse, it's honestly just as good as a mouse and KB. Maybe even better.

I think you missed a "not" in your last sentence

Bullshit

After a decade of the original study describing the species mimicry capabilities in 2014, no independent research groups have verified the field observations

Drink the Kool-aid instead and join Premium. It's great. YouTube is my primary source of video entertainment. No ads on any device and countless thousands of hours of math and science videos, SNL clips, educational videos, game reviews, and on and on.

For the cost of two beers a month, I get access to the best video library in the world with no ads, plus saved video progress so you can resume videos later, and YouTube Music to boot.

Why everyone on Lemmy thinks everything in the world should be free when it costs money to run the servers and pay content creators is beyond me. Makes no sense.

If I read comments then tap the Android back button, the post looks read and it stays that way through refreshes, so I don't seem to be affected. I'm on Lemmy.world, though.

Sync is full of dumb bugs and the markdown uses reddit style for everything still. A fucking year later. I wish apps like Thunder would catch up in the quality-of-life features so I can abandon Sync entirely. It's a cobbled together port of Sync for Reddit and was never given the focus it needs, especially for the price he asks for it.

I'm on version 122 of Sync on Android.

Where are you getting that number? If I press the bug icon when editing a comment, this is what I see. (Some stuff omitted)

Device information

Sync version: v24.03.26-14:56    
Sync flavor: googlePlay    

View type: Compact    
Push enabled: false    

Android: 14

That's true. I thought about editing my comment to add that.

Flac? Gross. Wav.

Maybe watch some VODs on Twitch. I used to watch some streams by an account that I think was named just "Shattered Pixel Dungeon", and he was very good about it explaining his thought process as he played. I learned a lot of advanced tricks.

But he tended to talk about more of the super advanced tactics with challenges enabled more than the basics. Just watching and paying attention to a stream can help with the basics, though. Especially if the streamer is live and you can ask questions.

Surprise attacks can be performed in many ways, and using them for guaranteed hits is an excellent strategy. You know those tiny rooms with a column in the middle that's only 1 by 1 tile? Those are surprise attack factories. You can also get enemies to stop following that way if you're in serious trouble. I'll discuss both of these things below.

Here's how movement and surprise attacks work. You move, then all enemies move (or attack). The enemies only seem move the instant you move, but there is a moment of time between your movement and theirs. If, during that moment, they can't see you, then your next attack will be a surprise attack.

So, here's what you do:

1. Let an enemy get near you while you're next to one of those single-tile columns. (Orthogonally agacent to the column, not diagonally. The enemy must also orthogonal to the column and diagonal from you.)
2. Step to the side of the column away from the enemy and it will follow you around the column.
3. Attack.

Since you moved first, for a split second the enemy couldn't see you because you were behind the column, so your attack counts as a surprise attack and can't miss.

Instead of attacking, if you just walk around the column another couple of times, you will briefly see the "?" thought bubble appear above the enemy. At that point they've lost track of you and won't follow you. Next turn they will walk in a random direction, so you can now walk directly away from the column to get some distance. Sometimes you get lucky and they walk the other way and don't immediately see you again. You can also just wait behind the column and see which way they go and repeat this trick until you get lucky and they walk directly away.

I use the above trick sometimes to get away from enemies when I am very near death and I can hope to kill that enemy with ranged weapons or something, or when I accidentally aggro an animated statue by mis-tapping the search icon when trying to inspect the statue to see what his weapon is, and I end up walking right up to it and punching it. 😅

More often I just use the guaranteed hits to kill the enemy while taking less damage. Of course, you have to balance this with food. You don't want to kite every enemy to one of these columns because you'll use up too much food in the process.

Doors work the same way, as I'm sure you know. When you walk through a door, you close it behind you, and in that instant the enemy on your tail can't see you, so when they open it, you get a surprise attack. In some cases, I'll walk through 2 or 3 doors when fighting the same enemy to get the guaranteed hits. Sometimes this backfires, though, when you end up in a narrow hallway with a second enemy in the way.

There are dozens of little tricks like this in the game that make it beatable. You mostly learn them by playing and experimenting, but you can also learn them by watching streamers.
