Mostly just: target walls. I often then put a florescent tube light -- scaled down and rotated on the long axis -- right above the poster to give it a gallery-like lighting effect.

Sometimes, depending on wall-building wonkiness, certain posters will clip through. Best thing I can suggest then is to put two flat-panels on the wall, overlapping and scaled down to just larger than you want your poster to be, then put the poster on top of those. Gives a nice "frame" effect. Buuuuuut that can be wonky too, and some posters will sometimes clip through the flat panels, for Reasons known only to HG.

Alternately, sometimes you can put a second poster on top of where the clipped one went, and that will stack enough that the second one sits "one top" of the wall.

Hah, I've never gotten a bobblehead because I always use external ship view. I was today years old when I learned that they had a mechanical benefit.

I spend my quicksilver on building parts. I've gotten the few cosmetics for my traveler and ship that I need, but I really like having artwork on my base walls, so I buy all the posters.

This is the best thing I've seen all month.

If I understand correctly, the opinion explicitly focuses on Indian tribes as nations -- i.e. legal entities -- not races.

Interesting. I may have to switch over there -- I also see the value in having downvotes as an option for content that just isn't up to community snuff. Lemmy.one doesn't have 'em.

Does lemmy.world support downvotes?

So I also tried that, step 7, and I still don't get any results, days later.

I got through the first book in Three Body, but while I liked some of the philosophical and crazy-tech explorations, I really struggled with the writing/translation style. It was so stilted and awkward to read that it put me off trying to read the following volumes.

Great in-depth breakdown, but an important takeaway is that it's prohibitively difficult to build an effective psionic in 5e with "normal" stat-generation. There's a lot of hangover of 1e's bias of "oh, you died, just roll another character" -- eventually one will pop up with three >16 mental scores.

Still, it's a fascinating rock-scissors-paper(-lizard-Spock) minigame system, and a nice way to revisit the edition of All The Tables.

I ran into this same frustrating problem. The whole "fetches in the background after you search" thing makes sense in a very "you are technically correct" kind of way, but it would be a much better user experience to just have a spinner and wait for the community/post to be fetched, rather than gaslight users.

Ah, thanks for the info. That's not a great user experience, but at least it makes sense.

Right, I did that -- steps 5, 6, and 7.

 

One of the things that has been frustrating me most deeply when trying to move to Lemmy, especially as the exodus from Reddit really picks up steam, is finding new communities as they set up shop. Most of them appear to be landing on lemmy.ml, which has adopted more of an open-door policy for community creation. That's fine, I'm not asking lemmy.one to necessarily do the same. I picked this instance to take some pressure off the really big ones.

But the process is maddening.

  • I search for (e.g.) the string "no man" in my lemmy.one Communities page under "All". No results.
  • Someone mentions a cross-federation search at lemme.de. Why isn't this everywhere?
  • I search there for "no man" and two communities pop, one at lemme.ml and one at lemmy.world. There are no subscribe links.
  • The lemmy.ml one looks popular, so I copy the full URL and put it in my lemmy.one search. No results, and no "no results" message.
  • OK, so I visit https://lemmy.ml/c/nomanssky directly and click "Sidebar". Nothing happens. There appears to be a Javascript error preventing anything from working (including the hamburger menu). Is this because I'm a lemmy.one user?
  • Start from lemmy.ml, and search their Communities for "no man", find the community, click through, click Sidebar. I get a magic string, [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]).
  • Back on lemmy.one, search for [[email protected]](/c/[email protected]). NO RESULTS.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! What is going on here?? Is lemmy.one blocking these instances? Can't be, I see lemmy.ml stuff all over. Starting to wonder if I just made the wrong choice and should go join the cool kids on a "big" instance.
