Amazing

Great list! Saved.

The fact that it’s missing Noita is criminal though.

Hard agree. Wrong place and potentially misleading for those that live under a rock.

Try this:

So everything in space, every object had to get to where it is via time. It travelled there. Everything can’t be anywhere without time as without time it wouldn’t have been able to move there. Time is a constant graph, and as it moves forward, things move around and as such, space is able to exist. This is why we consider space and time to be linked.

Now consider this: if one was to plot a graph of space and time on an x y axis to track an object, there is a point on the graph where time has to be zero, and as such space has to be zero.

This is the big bang.

It is the beginning of the graph. When time was zero, and as such so was space.

Space did not burst out from a single point that we could find out there in space, as there was no point. everything was still everywhere much like it is now, except everywhere just so happened to be so close to one another to be at the same point on the graph. When time began, it just about instantly expanded out, everywhere in every direction. There is no ‘center’ to this expansion, just like if you blow up a balloon there is no center on the surface of the balloon, it just expands everywhere, and more importantly with time we are able to quantify this.

Functionally I think it could work well, shop listings are no different from posts but with a price and a buy link.

I don’t know if it would be a good idea as a few challenges immediately come to mind:

If your site hosted products from a decentralized web, how would you guard your site against bad actors or scams?

How would you be able to monitor stock?

How would you negotiate deliveries or a unified shopping cart?

How would you instill trust in a user that a product was legit and could be backed by a return or a guarantee?

How would you make sure your site maintained a perception of quality items?

For this to work, I imagine you would have to only Federate with store fronts you were actively affiliated with, ideally in your area or under the same delivery umbrella at which point you might as well have a unified store front. The decentralized aspect would probably create alot of hiccups and distrust you wouldn’t want anywhere near money changing hands.

I think a decentralized storefront would basically look a lot like AliExpress or Amazon if you went the store route, but without any big company backing or a unified delivery service. It could also be a large, even less trustworthy and hard to manage Facebook Marketplace or Gumtree. It wouldn’t survive long.

What could work though is if you were partnered with a bunch of individual, small stores that each were making a name for themselves within a similar space. Their stores could feed products to a larger store that users could search and browse in, but be taken away from it back to the smaller store if they wished to purchase an item. I don’t think you would need Activity Pub for this, just a feed from the store with tags/thumbnails/descriptions/prices this could probably be handled with a plug in that linked their store to the larger site allowing their products to be searched.

I wonder how many of these games will just disappear come January

As in no giant bug beasts?

I assume it’s the ‘swiss style’ raw rolled oats not toasted.

I have it with plain yoghurt and a bit of jam. Milk is nice too. I like the texture and it’s fantastic for your gut.

Having said that you obviously hate that, so try this:

1. Mix equal parts honey, brown sugar and coconut oil (or olive oil you could even add a dollop of butter) and heat in a saucepan until the sugar is melted. (About a 1/3 cup of each should be enough for about 3-4 cups of muesli mixture.) While you wait, put your oven on a medium to low heat like 150C.

2. Separate out the fruit bits and set aside. Combine the rest of the ingredients with the melted honey oil mix, and spread out thin on a baking tray (you may want to do batches, keep it spread thin here!

3. Bake on low for about 20-30min, stirring every 5-10min. (Don’t let it burn)

4. Once cool, break it up and add your fruit back, Voila! You have crunchy home made granola cereal! Feel free to add anything else, pecan nuts / almonds / coconut flakes - either raw or toast it with the granola at the beginning. I like banana chips. Chocolate chips are nice too. You can’t really go wrong and it’s easy as.

Note:: The only thing you want to avoid is burning it while you toast it, the burn flavour will take over the whole mix! So keep an eye on it and keep it moving.

Note:: melted sugar is like lava. Melt it on the saucepan slowly and don’t let it smoke. Keep the heat low. Don’t stir in to the muesli with your hands. Use a wooden spoon. That shit will burn.

What a wishy washy nothing burger of an article. It’s written the way I imagine I would describe computers to my gran.

If you’re crafty, I feel like this is something you could make out of a wooden 2x2 or a dowel stick, a jigsaw and a drill with the right bits.

‘Glib’ - when the words come out your mouth are fluent, but insincere and shallow.

McDonald’s Sprite tastes good, it has just the right sweetness and fizz. It’s always exactly the same wherever you go yet somewhat fake and hollow. Similarly, hotel conditioners in my experience, are cold and effective - in the way a walk in fridge is designed to keep meat fresh. Purely functional and devoid of tangible comfort. ‘Glib’.

What is the floor made of?

What is that wire that seems to clip through the solar panel?

What is that plant theat is draped over it like a creeper? Asparagus? String of Pearls?

What happens if it rains, is this whole set up under cover?

Name one product in the fridge

How does one water plants all over an electrical appliance?

How far away is the background?

What time of day is it, and who places a device that needs solar in an area seemingly with such mottled light?

Can a microwave run on that much solar?

So many questions.

Yeah, when I zoom in, all the detailing looks good from far but individually seem weird and don’t make sense. Hinges are weird, the products all seem non descript or bizarre, the plants don’t quite look real, the shading on the pots are all off, the wires don’t seem to have logic…

If this is real, it’s a very sci-fi cyberpunk look, almost like set dressing. But I agree it looks like AI to me.

Yeah it was a bit of a shock to me too, but also considering the level of polish it already has and the features it can still get, I feel like it’s more than worth it for me.

There is. You can remove ads. It initially wasn’t an option as he didn’t feel like it was at a point yet to have a charged option, while the subscription service was aimed at users willing to help fund development. That confusion caused the back lash so he added the remove ad option in the next update.

So we want free apps that offer everything and don’t take your data or advertise. It must also have constant security updates and a fleet of developers keeping it running. Good Luck finding that unicorn.

I actually like this development. I’d much rather pay for a service with money over my privacy.

Plot twist: The money to spawn comes from other people randomly. Eventually people start reporting vanishing money at the same time that people hear news of a man randomly raining money wherever he goes. This immediately sparks controversy and religion, as the country begins to destabilize and the economy grinds to a halt.

The government gets together and decides that changing the currency to a new note, so as to avoid it being conjured away and raining somewhere east of Massachusetts, is the only solution forward.

This has an unexpected blowback, as the superpower is to spawn money, not useless green paper. The rain immediately changes to the new currency.

Discovering this loophole, the government changes the currency to bowling balls in the hope to have the problem solve itself.

You now randomly hail bowling balls around you and the local bowlingalley owner is a tycoon. You killed ten pin bowling. I hope you’re happy you bastard.

Ok but what about the uncomfortable keyboard? WHAT DO WE DO???

I too have been sent here. It’s at the top of hot right now.

Seems to be a Lemmy zombie post glitch that needs to be addressed.
