Option 2 sounds best, but if that would mean broken images continuing I'd lean to nr 3.
I like the idea thatwas floated to retain temporary images for longer, but I don't really know if and how much that would help. If possible, it could be worth the try. But I'm just a layman in these things so what do I know?

I guess it's because pineapple resembles pine cone a little?

Considering potatoes come from America... they didn't have the potatoes. And really didn't care how they name this new commodity, apparently

It is indeed. Time to get a trimmer I guess

I just have a soft spot for Warcraft-style orcs. Something about their seemingly brutish nature and deep sense of honor. I also just like their visual style, be it the race, their fashion or architecture.

Like is a strong word I think. I don't mind him. But I was a kid when Phantom Menace came out, I didn't really fully experience the original trilogy before I saw it. So that's why - for a kid it's a fun goofy comic relief. So might have liked him back then, which moved my tolerance for him in adulthood. Didn't see the movie in years though.
LotR is sacred to me on a similar level like the SW original trilogy was sacred to the die hard SW fans back then, probably. I can't say I hated the Hobbit movies (though they are clearly inferior - the edit really saved them), but I hate Alfrid with everlasting passion.

I can wouch for this one. Very well done. I wish they cut out more Alfrid time though.
Alfrid makes me understand why people hate Jar Jar so much.

Depends on what you are looking for. I think Lemmy works great and I only really go to reddit when a google search leads me there for something. Though I do miss the niche communities and the "there is a subreddit for everything".
Lemmy is also healthier, I used to just scroll through reddit for literal hours, it's possible to reach an end of sort for the time.

Definitely feels more like reddit used to feel - though with caveats.

It can get really annoying but we need to remember that the upteenth repost of something probably leads to at least one person seeing it the first time.
I also like some (especially meme) reposts because I enjoyed the post once already and I just enjoy to experience it again

To continue with the metaphor - I'm sure the band is not who sets the stage
I prefer podcasts with at least two people, infotmational but also with some fun banter in between. Couldn't find anything like that - not many active ones in general that I could find. Podcasts that don't meet above criteria also welcome. Though would be best if it is active podcats that still gets new episodes

I didn't follow the game super closely but it looked nice. Shame we will never get to try it at least.
So I finally bit the bullet, installed a second SSD and put Linux on it to test the waters. Tested out GW2 as a non steam game via Wine and while it runs, it runs very poorly with constant frame drops. Did anyone else try? How was your experience? I have Nvidia GPU which I gather might be the most likely culprit but was interested in what your experience might've been.

I thought I'd try GW2 after years of not playing (last I played was PoE era, bounced off fully before Icebrood saga) and finally managed to get into it! I used to live and breath this game and while I was not what you'd call "hardcore" player, I knew about everything going on. Now I'm totally in the black which is weird. I try not to get it to me, I just play through the Icebrood saga story now and try my best not to open inventory and achievement tabs etc to not get discouraged. GW2 was always a bit convoluted, but with so much added in the meantime, it's much. How do you deal with this? What would be your recommendations for me to "ease into it"? What should I engage after getting my groove back in the story? How to dip my toes slowly into buildcrafting? What new systems should I check out? Bonus question: would you expect the xpacs to go on sale anytime soon? Next one should be around the corner by now, no?
I know many people were waiying for this so thought I'd share. I don't play Albion much, fresh start might be interesting but not keen on regrinding stuff... How about you?
I'd br interested in what you'd consider a good book (or other sources) on various pagan beliefs and traditions that you would recommend. I'm personally interested in European pagan traditions - be it Norse, Celtic, Germanic, Slavic (bonus points for Slavic!) - but would love to leave the topic open to others as well, just to make it interesting for people with different intrests.
So I mostly transitioned to Piped and ever since I was wondering how it works. I read up on it and while I get what it says, I still don't feel like I really understand...
So I considering switching to Piped, but I'm wondering if the views (or other metrics) are counted on Youtube itself. I don't like the idea I'm kinda "robbing" the content creators I enjoy... I think I know the answer but would like to know for sure.
There was this legendary comment on reddit to a thread asking people what would their plan be if they were immortal and got milion dollars, but there was a superintelligent immortal snail also with milion dollars who would want to kill them. I was trying to find it but as far as I can tell OP removed it. Does anyone here have it and could post it here by any chance?
I'm starting my degoogling journey (mostly looking into the various options at hand) and I was wondering what hood alternatives to Goohle Photos is there? I'm specifically wondering about a service that would double both as a cloud storage and a gallery with a timeline and such. But currently it's only cloud storage backup (or Instagtam-likes, which is bot something I want) as far as I can tell?
Anybody else unreasonably excited for this one? Looks like a really fun MMO-lite with potential and plans to lean more heavily into MMO elements. Pretty much looks like fantasy Warframe with cream on top. Monetization looks fair as it is published by the same guys that did Warframe and I think they have a good reputation for how they do their monetization. No wipe after EA ends so this is pretty much early launch, though it will eventually be F2P after official launch. Actual showcase starts at around 00:30 mark.

Didn't watch it all yet, but looks like Fantasy Sims MMO. Thoughts? Anybody excited? Doesn't seem like my cup of tea, butlooks interesting enough for me to at least try it.
So with open source software more on my mind lately I was wondering - while I get the benefits of transparency and such, how safe is it? If the source code is available to all, isn't it easier to breach for people (like the recent cookies hack)? If I'd have an open source password manager, would it be easier for people to get my passwords somehow than if I use something not open source? Do I just not understand how software works in general? And what are other benefits that may be not so obvious to someone not so knowledgable about this? Edit: thank you all for really insightful answers! Among other things I also learned just how much I don't know :)
