Accepting that the reality of a story is as described. Magic is real? Sure. FTL? Sure. The colour red makes you fart? Yeah why not? For the sake of the story, I Believe.
BUT the term often gets hijacked by rabid fans trying to justify plot holes, self-contradictions, and nonsensical gobilygook. Suspension of disbelief doesn’t mean I should also suspend all semblance of reason, unless of course there’s a clearly established in-universe justification for doing so.
If you include the comics as cannon, Protoman is still alive in 21XX and goes by “Prometheus”
You need to live in a dry climate for it to work. The increased sweating more than makes up for the added heat from the tea.
Welcome back and congratulations
Great to have you back. This is the only Lemmy app that handles multiple instances in a way I like, and I was getting concerned it would be abandoned.
Regarding the multi-instance stuff, is it possible to add a way to view the logged-in version of the local feed and/or the community list for an instance you don’t have an account on, provided you do have an account on another federated instance?
That’s a mouthful, so let me explain: I have a account on instance A which is federated with instance B. Instance B has community X which is public and community Y which is only visible to logged in users. Provided someone from my instance has interacted with them, both X and Y are searchable from A and appear in all. Now the “issue”: if I go to B’s local, I will only see posts from X since I’m not logged in to B despite Y being visible from A’s all. Likewise, if I view B’s community list I will only see X. Since I have access to Y via A, and can interact freely with it, I should be able to see it when browsing B.
This doesn’t seem to be possible from the web app ether so it might be a Lemmy limitation.
Oh and one more thing that trips people up: iCloud is not a backup. If you delete something from your phone it will immediately be deleted from iCloud too. The phone will even sometimes stealthy delete the local copy of music, photos, etc to save space and silently re-fetch them as-needed.
“iCloud Backup” is a thing. It backs up your configuration and some other things in case you need to factory reset or buy a new phone, but that’s separate from iCloud data storage.
Speaking of iCloud Backup, if you’re concerned about privacy don’t use it. Sync your phone with a pc instead and choose the encrypted backup option.
Some random tips:
Poke around the Accessibility settings. There’s lots of customization options hidden in there.
Learn the Shortcuts app. You can use it to create macros and save them on the Home Screen, in the share sheet, or as a voice command.
Customize the share sheet. Options are limited but there are some useful commands in there that are hidden by default. You may need to repeat customization with each files type (images get a different sheet from text, etc).
Set your AirDrop to “contacts only” or else you’ll get spam pushed to you when in public.
If you turn off wifi from the control centre it only disconnects. To turn off the radio completely you need to do it from Settings or switch to airplane mode.
You probably don’t need a calculator app, but if you do: pCalc.
Focus modes aren’t limited to “do not disturb”. You can have several with different home screens and different communication restrictions.
Apps that don’t have filesystem privileges can only access their own subfolder inside the “On My Phone” folder, so you sometimes need to move stuff into there manually. This is rare, but one common example is Minecraft worlds/texture packs.
If you dismissed the prompt to install Files, you can get it on the app store. Do it. Then install all the other cloud storage apps you use (Dropbox, etc), log in, then delete them from the Home Screen only and forget they exist. They’ll all be accessible in Files.
You can do a similar thing with the TV app, but personally I prefer separate apps on that front.

This is the comment I needed. You’ve convinced me.
I think you’re confusing AppleTalk with AppleShare. AFP runs fine over TCP/IP and has since way back in the System 6 days.
If you put the die type along the top row (just the numbers, no d) and this in A2 it should do what you want.
=RANDBETWEEN(1,A$1)
You can copy the cell without editing the formula and fill as much of the sheet as you want. Press F9 to reroll.
If you prefer a percentile die with zero, you can change it to
=RANDBETWEEN(0,9)*10
Or just combine the 2 dice as a single d100
Whenever possible, all of them. The switch may be underpowered, but for the majority of games it doesn’t matter. The deck feels unpleasantly oversized, like the original original Xbox controller or the game gear, and awareness of it’s presence doesn’t fade into the background no matter how long I’m playing. The switch is a joy in comparison.
Been pronouncing it that way since Idea Channel :)

Fake hoods have a vent on the front to helpfully blow the steam and fumes back into your face. This doesn’t appear to have that, so it’s probably real.
New? They’ve been around since the 90s. Original Sin was like the 5th or 6th Divinity game.
I’m neither so take this with a cup of salt:
Originally they were the same. Pan (and some others) faded from use and was largely forgotten.
When it first came back into use, there was a lot of “you’re attracted to both genders; we’re attracted to all genders” but this got a lot of pushback as being bi-phobic because it paints bisexuals as being transphobic (although if you really think about it, the accusation that this is transphobic is itself transphobic as it implies trans people are not included in “both genders”. Perhaps enby-phobic would have been a more appropriate accusation).
These days the generally accepted distinction is that pansexuals are attracted to people regardless of gender, as in gender plays no part, as opposed to bisexuals who may (or may not) be attracted differently to different genders.
Sort of, but you have to either mess with self-signing and reinstalling weekly, or trusting a 3rd party with mobile device management. Not great options.
This plugin will fix the thumbnails in Finder
Bittorrent opens a ton of simultaneous connections that can overwhelm the pos router supplied by some ISPs. If that’s your issue, lowering the max # of connections could not only clear it up but also increase your download speed
Related to this, a way to filter out subbed communities entirely might be nice. Likewise filtering /local from /all
Sign in to iCloud to access your photos, videos, documents, notes, contacts, and more. Use your Apple ID or create a new account to start using Apple services.
On iOS. Once you scroll down so far the screen dims very slightly. The amount you need to scroll to make it happen varies from post to post, but it’s usually around 2 full screens.
See linked screenshots (forgive the iCloud link).
The dimming seems to be restricted to liftoff. Brightness remains the same in settings and the top status bar is unaffected. It can be reversed by scrolling back up.
Perhaps I missed it but I can’t find any way to list the communities on my instance. I don’t mean search or !all, just the list that you can get from http://myinstance/communities
