Given that I mostly play heavily-modded games, a run is usually "complete" when it is abandoned due to its inevitable TPS death.

Right? At this point I'm just sticking with WordPress because I can't be bothered to migrate a bunch of sites off of it. Every year for the past decade it's felt jankier. Tumblr's backend has to be a dumpster fire for this to seem like a good idea.

My criticism aside, WP still has the convenience factor of being the open source web platform that has a plugin for just about any need. Whether those plugins are gonna break for site or introduce interesting new vulnerabilities is a different discussion.

I'm more curious as to why "$1.00 Drinks" costs $3.30.

I think "legalese" might be close to what you're describing. It can still be ambiguous, but it seems to be our best attempt at avoiding that. Some forms of technical writing may also meet your definition.

If you ignore the first W it reads to me as, "Fart Free Water." That's actually an attribute I like in my water.

I love this, but also found it hilarious - especially the towel as a helicopter blade trick and your description of it being "very undesirable for the fly." I'm picturing your partner or housemate sighing and being like, "there they go again, herding flies." I can definitely see it working though.

It's funny to see you comment here because I was literally coming to this thread to mention that I see you in seemingly every comment chain and thus consider you "Lemmy-famous."

Who wore it better: this black metal vocalist or Humpty Dumpty?

I used to wear pants that tight when I was a young man, but that's when I had the body of a stick insect. His continuing to rock that look well into his beer belly era takes some balls (which we can pretty clearly see). Kudos to him.

I'm assuming we're just talking about metal albums, given the community.

Here's my top 3:

1. Trees of Eternity - Hour of the Nightingale

2. Draconian - Under a Godless Veil

3. Swallow the Sun - When a Shadow is Forced into the Light

Doom and related genres have always been my fave when it comes to metal, but I used to also listen to a lot of thrash and power metal. These days it's pretty much all stuff that is doom or goth-ish.

Good to know. I've only been using Proton for like 4 months now and have thus far generally liked the experience, but that's too bad about your experiences with the Drive client. I've used several paid business suites over the years through work and they all have their issues though. The only one that was generally solid was Google's and I've gradually taken steps to remove their products from my life so there's no going back to them for me. It was also almost 10 years ago since I last used Google's paid email/Drive, so maybe it's also gone to shit.

I've actually meant to try that but haven't yet gotten around to it. I'd still love an official app though, as sometimes 3rd party solutions don't work great with cloud storage (at least in my experience).

What we're begging for: A Linux client for Proton Drive

What we get: A fucking Bitcoin wallet
