Is there no way to delete dms, or am I just missing it?

I was recently on a vacation in Marseille, and I was really taken by the mayo there. This was often served with frites. Does anyone know a brand I could get in the west coast US that would be similar?

The main difference I noticed was a slight tang to it? Not sure how to describe it better. Hopefully someone has had it. 😅

I originally chose this instance because it seemed to be aimed at people who don't really want to join a specific community. All I can say is I barely ever think about this instance and I mean that as a huge compliment. You guys run a tight ship with almost no hiccups or issues so far. Thanks for keeping the lights on.

I've been using duckduckgo for years now with no issues, but today I opened it and realized there were no longer any search results before scrolling. It was all ads/info cards. So I guess I'm looking for a replacement. Any suggestions?

Related: anyone know if there's a way in the Adnauseum Firefox extension to hide ads on a specific trusted site? I like their goal of not punishing ads following the do not track standard, but DDG has crossed a threshold and I now want to blacklist them specifically.

Is there any way in boost to browse all communities on an instance other than your own?

I'm so impressed with the regular events in Lowland Shore so far. I think they're the best in the game excepting maybe Grothmar. Just like that zone they managed to make almost all of them have some little gameplay twist or gimmick that makes them more interesting than bog standard versions we've seen a hundred times before.

I'm honestly having so much fun exploring this map and just taking it in as it comes. Such a great feeling after years of repetitive meta events that all boil down to the same zerg rush gameplay.

Janthir actually makes me want to log in and get lost in the world in a way I haven't felt for a while.

I use Gboard.

The main things I like about it are:

• Very customizable (I like having number row always visible, and having long press for symbols on each letter).
• Has gif support built in.

My biggest pain point is:

• It auto corrects words that are spelled correctly to other words. I type "our" and it changes to "out", I recently typed "purpose" and it changed it to "purple". Autocorrect is awesome and necessary, but I hate that it corrects words to other words and not just typos. I wish I could find a keyboard that has the things I like without this annoyance.

Am I looking for a unicorn? Let me know! 😄

I made a comment to this effect the other day. Scrolling through this community, out of about the 10 most recent posts, I see one that is borderline oniony and the rest are just straight up news, mostly US politics-related.

Is this OK? Is this what this community is for? I ask because I want to see can't-believe-it's-real headlines, but if this is going to be another doom scroll bad news sub I'm going to leave and look elsewhere. Just curious to hear people's feelings on this before I do.

What are some of your favorite content creators that highlight small indie games? Can be big or small, I'm just looking to find some lesser known games for a change.

Edit: I'm checking all of these out, thanks everyone!

Has something new come along? It's been so long since I've needed to do this that I assume CCleaner has enshittified by now.

I haven't been following the general reactions to the new patch, but fair warning going into this that I personally was pretty disappointed in it from a story standpoint.

I was very pleased with Soto overall, and I think they seriously improved on many of the issues I've had with the writing over the years, but I can't help but feel that somehow it has regressed in the newest patch.

The crux of my issue is that I want to distrust peitha and keep her at arms length, but it really feels like the story is making it crystal clear that I'm not allowed to feel that way. The speed at which not just my character, but even the astral ward, an organization dedicated to stopping her kind for thousands of years, is happy to not only help her, but to frequently espouse how much they trust her completely. I don't think I've ever felt less connected to my character.

I was hoping for the story to keep her in a suspicious and interesting place, where we're helping her for now but no one is sure what to think yet. Instead we're back to the often hamfisted story telling of the end of dragons era, where it feels like every character is to be taken at complete face value.

To be honest I hope she does betray us, because that would at least be an interesting direction, and something to shake my character's naive level of confidence. Though if they do go that way at this point they laid it on pretty thick with the implicit trust angle.

I'm curious if anyone else feels the same, or differently. Would love to hear other's takes on it.

I've been trying to get the app setup today, and I'm struggling to find communities through search. It seems like the search is only checking communities on my instance, not everywhere? Not sure if I'm missing something but I can't find a way to search the broader fediverse.
