The problem with that is, Japan was willing to fight on after the first bomb. They tried labelling it a natural disaster at first; if the second bomb wasn't dropped, they probably wouldn't have surrendered. Sure they could have waited longer to confirm that, but then there's more troops dying on both sides while they wait - more unnecessary deaths.

I'll eat up anything they put out:
Perun (War economics, logistics, procurement, etc)
The Chieftain (Tank history and doctrine)
CGP Grey (Deep dives on random topics)
The Operations Room (High quality visualizations of historical battles)
The Intel Report (Followup topics related to Operations Room)
dnsl (Trolling in games)

Channels I'll binge on once in a while:
Drachinifel (Naval history)
agadmator (Chess breakdowns)
Forgotten Weapons (Firearm history and mechanics)
Lockpicking Lawyer (Lock history and picking)
LifesAGlitchTV (StarCraft 2 commentary duo)
Spookston (War Thunder gameplay)
The Tank Museum (More tank history)
Real Engineering (Deep dives on interesting engineering)
Scott Manley (Space & rocketry related topics)

Oh it's long dead now; this is what it looked like back then though

I bailed from Firefox for about a year after they added the godawful Firefox button (4.0 maybe?); then I got fed up with Chrome and by that point there was an extension to remove the Firefox button

I just think drone strikes with sword bombs are cool as fuck, and I'm tired of pretending that they're not

Go big or go home

For me, remembering numbers; like ID numbers, part numbers, phone numbers, etc. When I worked as a parts guy at a shop, I would frequently be able to bring up the exact part that fits the customer's machine assuming I had looked it up once or twice before. If it was something I hadn't looked at in a while I'd still usually double check fitment, but I probably had a 99% accuracy on part numbers.

I haven't used them in a while, but I used to go to Calgary Computer Wholesale

My city has a couple mom-and-pop type businesses doing it, I'd hazard a guess it's similar elsewhere - never heard of any 'big name' outfits doing it on any real scale.

As far as I can tell, you are logged into both; if you vote or reply or save a post, it will do so on the account of the instance you're browsing from. Now this can be confusing, because you can be looking at a post on lemmy.world through lemdo.id and upvote it on there, then if you browse through lemmy.world you can upvote the same post again with that account.

I personally try to avoid upvoting the same thing through multiple accounts (I have this one, but sometimes browse through beehaw) but it doesn't seem like there's any protections against doing so right now

I hadn't seen that video before, but it's not quite what I'm looking for; it seems that video was made while they were still working on the project, and they were looking for a way to "get it out into the world". Is there a sort of post-mortem analysis of what the project achieved / is still achieving now?

Windows 10 on my main (gaming) PC (honestly I would probably upgrade to 11 by now if I didn't need to do a BIOS update), and Ubuntu on my computer in the living room. I would try a different distro, but honestly whenever I need a guide to do something on Linux they're always written with Ubuntu and it's default commands and packages in mind so it's just easier to work with

Ah yeah I see what you mean, I can usually guess what someone's replying to since I don't post a huge amount but now that you mention it it really should it directly in the inbox

What issue are you having with comment context in Liftoff? Seems to work for me; I get it through Obtanium though so maybe it's an older version issue for you

If there is one I haven't seen it; I think there's naturally a bit more of a Linux crowd here though, maybe that's why there's less gaming content (yeah yeah "Linux can play games toooooo")

I got the Osprey Nebula 32 L this year, and after a successful one-bag holiday in Vancouver it's more than proven itself to me. Just enough compartments to stay organized, but not so many that it's overwhelming or that it cuts into usable capacity.

Excited for this one - lots of great memories from the first Helldivers

Halo: Combat Evolved

I still find the odd person that never played it here and there, and yet everyone that tries it after says "Oh my god, how did I never play this game before?" and goes on to play the rest

Considering PlayStation lives and breathes their exclusives, it would be insane for him to really say anything else no matter how much it pisses him off.

Is it worth going back to the original PS1 Tomb Raider if I played through Anniversary already?

Most games I can think of have been mentioned, but I found Signalis to be an interesting experience assuming you can get past the annoying inventory management

Well yes but have you considered that the game is fucking amazing

It's weird to me that so many people have a hard time figuring out Lemmy; honestly for the average user, the process is:

1. Join big instance
2. Browse and search from there

Searching for communities could use a bit of work to make it easier (for example, I shouldn't have to have the full community link to search for one from a federated instance if nobody on my instance has subscribed; why aren't community lists updated automatically?) but the basic experience is pretty easy to get into

We aren't barbarians around here; we use Xbox 360 controllers.

Canada here - tap water is just fine, I filter it at home since I prefer the taste but I've never been adverse to drinking it straight

Tribes Ascend was amazing; I think it might have been towards the end of the game's popularity, but I loved that they sold a pack to skip the F2P grind progression entirely (kinda like getting a GOTY version a couple years later)

It only shows the subscribers from your own instance I think; all the communities I've subscribed to on my personal instance shows 1 sub (being me)

I ended up making 2 accounts; one for beehaw, and now this one for my own instance. Not that beehaw was bad, I just wanted my own

Repeat after me: "DON'T MESS WITH THE TIMELINE"

It's really not hard to sign up either; for how small the barrier to entry actually is, it's made a huge difference in demographics
