I found OP’s first post about moving the community: https://lemmy.world/post/45941792

This post got me watching sumo for the first time, so are there any channels you could recommend that breakdown a match in basic details?

I looked at DonDon, as suggested by OP, but it was just pointing out holds but it would be nice to understand what leverage a particular hold gives or why the wrestler went for that hold. Also, it would be cool to get some background on the combatants.

The best I found is a highlight real from Sumo Prime Time but I am not sure if that was just a Day 1 Special or if they will keep posting more throughout the tournament.

I am using journaling to help combat depression and I pick one (or more) of the following, depending on what I did that day:

• What are some things that I accomplished today? It does not have to be significant things, just things, no matter how small, even if it is just a step in a larger process.
• Was there a time today that I felt a social connection, like a good conversation or a shared activity?
• What is something I did that was fun?
• What am I looking forward to?

Overall, I only spend a couple minutes each day on it, but the process of thinking about what to write down lets me end each day feeling good about something.

Would you trust Eufy? A few years ago, they got in trouble because their cameras might only store footage locally but they stream to the cloud. They claim to have fixed the issue, but it is unclear if they mean that the footage is no longer being sent or if they just tightened security so that only they (and trusted partners) can watch it.

See: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/12/more-eufy-camera-flaws-found-including-remote-unencrypted-feed-viewing/ https://www.cnet.com/home/security/eufy-says-software-bug-that-exposed-users-video-footage-to-strangers-has-been-fixed/

The issue with that play is that the players are on different teams, so the ref assumed that it was an attempt to seduce an opposing player to sign with your team. That is clearly against tampering rules. Team employees, including players, may only seduce free agents, not players already signed to a team.

The example OP provided names LeBron, Kyrie, and J. R. Smith, all of whom played together in Cleveland. I assume they mean that the players making out are teammates, so the WNBA ruling is moot.

From what I understand, there is no basketball rule against sloppy makeouts between players on the same team. But that is not to say that it is a valid tactic. The NBA has 2 teams in Florida, 3 in Texas, and several more throughout the South and mid-West. At many arenas, a display contrary to good Christian values will result in security staff and any police present to immediately arrest the offending players, possibly with deadly force.

No discoverablity. There is no directory that lets me find interesting forums the way I can find lemmy communities.

The Pacers? They tanked last year but are bringing back most of the roster that made the finals in 2025.

I am curious what these advancements in infotainment are.

I heard that the cars run a digital assistant (like Siri or Alexa) and give it access to vehicle sensors, so you can ask questions like “Does that restaurant on the right have good reviews?” It sounds like a cool feature, but I just hate digital assistants in general, so I would never use it.

And that is that for the Celtics.

Seriously, why would they make that trade? Brown is, arguably, the best player on the team (and until Tatum fully recovers, there is no argument). The only reason to dump him for picks is if the team is going for a radical rebuild, except they signed Robinson to a fairly big deal.

I assume the owners do not want to pay for two max contracts. If they don’t want to pay, they are not going to be able to seriously compete.

Or maybe Brown told the team he wanted out and this is the best offer they could find.

The poll does not break down if people are not buying it because they object to some aspect of the release or they are not buying it because the game does not appeal to them. It makes it sound like there is a large boycott of the game when it could just be GTA indifferents (like me) stuffing the ballot box.

Forums for long, linear discussion, like phpBB or Discourse, with good discoverability.

If you are ever looking for a hippo alternate history book, try River of Teeth by Sarah Gailey. It is a heist thriller about LGBTQ hippo riding cowfolk.

The picks that the Hornets are getting are 2033 unprotected first-round pick, pick swaps in 2028, ’29 and ’30 and three second-round picks (’29, ’32 and ’33).

I would play a warrior. I can make combat as interesting as I want. If I want, I can plan out grand tactics of pushing enemies into each other and into traps. If not, I can turn to the reliable “I stab the goblin with my sword” even if I am wielding a mace and fighting a dragon.

I cannot play mage because I am too loss averse and hate using mana/spell slots. I would never play rogue because the idea of playing a close range damage dealer that wears cloth armor is a good recipe to end up spending most of the combat on death saving throws.

I hope not. I would hope that someone at Nintendo would know to never store passwords.

Splitter was not the Portland head coach, he was the acting head coach until they can hire a permanent coach. He might have been one of their top candidates, but it did not stop Splitter from interviewing for other HC opportunities. The Bulls must have made an offer first or made a better offer.

The article does not get into how much faster Microsoft wants Bethesda game releases to be. For example, they should be able to release a game in less than 10 years, and if not, it makes sense to stop for a couple months and fix whatever the issue is with their development process.

From what I understand, the devs are not injecting their political views into the Lemmy code. That does not mean they have not had a pro-tankie influence on the Lemmy community. As the original developers, they also set up the first major instance, lemmy.ml and they moderate that instance to have a tankie lean. Since it was the first instance, many people created their first account for it and it was the de facto standard place to start communities. As far as I know, it is still one of the most active instances.

I assume it is a case of monopoly abuse. There are things you are allowed to get away with as a minor player in a market because no one has to do business with you.

For example, GoG can insist that developers give them a game build without DRM since they are a minor software store and a majority of their customers know they can buy software other places.

Steam, on the other hand, is used by almost all gamers. For many gamers, it is the only game store they use. If a game is listed on the Steam front page, a large portion of the games market will learn about the game. If Steam decides not to list a game, customers may assume that the game is not out yet, regardless of the amount of advertising they see for it. The publisher would need to have a special advertising campaign saying “yes, the game is out already but you have to use this other game store to buy it.”

Letting companies sell DLC outside of the Steam Store sounds like a bad deal for Valve but they look like a good company for publicly following through with it. If too many companies are abusing that policy, Valve is well within their rights to revise the policy and ban the behavior, taking the resulting PR hit. What they are not allowed to do is act like the good guy publicly while secretly and selectively enforcing a ban for companies that they are mad at

P.S. If Valve does ban selling DLC outside of the Steam Store, it would make Steam an unusually restrictive store. I can open up Steam and buy DLC for any game by Wise Wizard Games, associate that DLC with my online multiplayer account, then download the same game (for free) on iOS and Android, open up the new copies, log into my online play account, sync purchases, and play my newly purchased DLC from another app store. I have never heard of an App store not allowing it but most game developers do not implement it because it costs them money to code it up and they make money from people who buy the same contents multiple times.
