Every other company seems to charge for parental controls. It's so stupid, I don't need another fee just because I have a child in my life.

I wanted to degoogle, so I looked for a new router and ended up with an Asus.

Sorry I wasn't clear.

Fallout 4 is beloved and buggy as hell. Cyberpunk was buggy, and still has bugs but is completely playable over and over again and with my hundreds of hours, I haven't run into any game killing glitches.

Been playing on and off for years (beat it every way, every ending, 100% most of everything).

It's less glitchy than fallout 4. Even if there are bugs, they are not game ending or even that difficult to move on.

The game, the dlc, the paid dlc.... I thought all of it was incredible and I had an absolutely amazing time playing. I think I'm around 800 hours, but a few hundred were on stadia.

Anyway, if you're having issues, delete it all, try again and give it a shot. The difference between release and now is large.

Same!!! We stayed up all night playing this game non-stop over the summer in Sega. We would play Mario Cart until our fingers hurt and then switch to Sega and chill for the rest of the night.

The dispensers are still around, just all empty. So frustrating. I'm not worried about covid but I don't want a cold or the flu either...being sick is not fun. Let me keep my hands clean!

I do not still wear a mask, but I really loved having my face covered when I went places during covid. I just felt free. I don't know why as I don't have a problem going anywhere or doing anything normally, but covering my face felt good (except on 100 degree days in summer).

I don't think protonpass has auto fill even on browser extension.

Or maybe I'm too stupid to figure it out. I ran side by side against bitwarden which I love. Could not figure out a way that didn't make me manually c/p the creds.

I use Android, so Fedilab was the app I'm using.

I didn't want my feed to be an endless stream of news or other languages. So first I joined a smaller server, with a topic I care about.

Then I followed a few journalists, and followed tags I care about like cycling, my hometown, tech news relevant to me, and TV shows.

Lastly after I had that base of content... I went looking for people. When someone posts something I like, I check their other posts... do I like those too? If he's then I look at who they follow. Big accounts usually don't follow a lot of others. This is endless but really gave me a consistent group of people who I care what they think and say.

Not easy but worth the time over the course of a week or two.

Also I watched the #followfriday tag where people lost accounts they follow and why.

Also, look at the top accounts lists that exist. Threads accounts have millions of followers so it's a good bet it'll be good.

I agree and started putting effort into Mastodon. It took a week or two of filtering and browsing to find users and content but I've definitely found a more engaging base of content to interact with that is nice.

I was an engaged redditor who switched 100% to Lemmy and I do not feel quite satisfied with the comments and content.

I'll stick around, but I find myself on Mastodon and using Ground News more often.

Btw I have comments in my history of how frustrated I was about finding content on Mastodon, but suddenly it clicked after I spent a bunch of time on it. Not a raving endorsement but ultimately I do enjoy it.

Another side note, I was looking for some top users to follow and some have 10k followers, cool. Then I find some federated threads accounts with millions and realize how small we are in comparison. I know why, and I understand it, but it's truth that small user bases have less ideas.

Have you seen the housing market? Sometimes you have to deal with a roommates bad habits, even if he is a spirit.

At least he doesn't leave dishes in the sink.

I hear a loud bang as if from another room. Like a trash can falling over, or a someone dropping a bag with about 10lbs on a hardwood floor, or a pushing a wooden chair into a dining table too hard. It's enough to think "what just fell?!".

It does not sound like a door closing, or stomping, or something fragile moving or falling.

I startle awake, realize I'm the only one awake, and that there aren't anymore sounds so it must have been my brain and I pass out fully.

It's pretty strange and I think it's funny how I never really thought about it until now.

Based on the comments in the thread, they asked it to repeat before actually having it say anything so it repeated the directives.

There's a whole bunch of comments relocating it with chat logs.
