Are you saying that's happened? Or that you expect it will?

ICE thugs pounced on a man right there in the US Federal courthouse in NYC, mere minutes after his immigration case was dismissed in c/aboringdystopia@lemmy.world

If this is the same thing I'm thinking of, the case was to be allowed to immigrate in the US. It was dismissed, so they were no longer legally in the country.

It's rancid bullshit that they were instantly detained, of course, but** there is a logic to it.

With little to no attachment to one's personal life, unless I'm mistaken.

Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads in c/technology@lemmy.world

Is there a peer to peer equivalent to Discord? That feels like it would be the best option, since it wouldn't rely on a centralized company that could enshittify the product.

It is a bit baffling. I think it's more ethical than the alternative though: pay gating useful functionality. Offering paid pallete swaps doesn't make a lot of sense to me, someone who would never pay for that, but it does at least mean I can just ignore it. If they were to, say, restrict voice calls to a paid subscription, suddenly I'm in a position where either I'm paying for the service or ditching it entirely.

I want to see how that works too!

A SENTENCE!

In the long term, yes. Ideally your birth rate matches your death rate so you have stability in supporting the citizenry. But when your system expects the birth rate to exceed the death rate, even changing to equilibrium can be catastrophic.

I got a message from my boss today asking me to come into the office (I'm nominally fully remote). It's probably fine, but...

I don't rightly expect whether I watch propaganda to change the opinions of those that believe it. Just because "they" won't consume content I know to be good, that means I should consume content I know to be bad to balance it out?

I doubt the deposits were for the full cost, right?

Troubleshooting Proton Logs? (lemmy.world)
 

Specifically looking at the game Monster Hunter Wilds.

I've had mixed luck -- when it works, it runs brilliantly. But when it doesn't, it crashes before even getting to the main menu.

The disparity is so great I figure there has to be something I can do to identify the problem. But unfortunately I'm completely at a loss for parsing the logs generated when setting PROTON_LOG=1.

Is there a guide, or some other general advice, for how to read and learn from the logs Proton generates?

Nexus Mods asking for Stardew Valley players to test new Mod Manager -- Linux Included (www.nexusmods.com)
 

It's in early stages, and only supports Stardew Valley right now. There's a Trello board for their roadmap with broad outlines.

I don't play Stardew or else I would participate myself. Hope this is of interest to some of y'all!

How much success have you had with modded Skyrim specifically? (lemmy.world)
 

I've been using ModOrganizer2 via SteamTinkerLaunch, but the performance is not great.

I haven't tried tweaking anything to get it better, mostly because I don't know where to start.

Does anyone have advice on modding Skyrim (especially with SKSE) on Linux effectively?

Where can I find the rules for Lemmy.world? (lemmy.world)

I don't know if I'm blind or getting too old or what, but I cannot find the instance rules anywhere. Can someone help me?

ETA: for context, a comment of mine was removed and "rule 2" was cited but the rules in the TOS don't seem to be relevant.

As in writing the OP has personally written.

Do you have boots that are comfortable? (lemmy.world)
 

Feels like a dumb question, but I haven't ever worn a pair of boots that didn't hurt in some way. Is this just a feature of boots, or am I doing something wrong?

The amount of spam texts I get from Republican campaigns (lemmy.world)
 

It's been going on for months and no matter how many I mark as spam and block they keep coming back with new numbers!

Makes me wonder if someone signed me up for something
