Quick update: I might actually swap over to Continuwuity, since I heard that the Tuwunel developer isn't the kindest person: https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/issues/849#issuecomment-16130

In the time since, however, Jason has made threats against multiple members of our team, so I can't foresee any active collaboration.

Shame, since the server works (although Continuwuity might be better set up for Element Call as well)

It seems to work well from what I've seen, but I mostly use cinny! I've been trying out element X, fluffychat, cinny, and commet-- I just like cinny the most, since it seems to work best with the spaces.

Cinny is great as long as you don't need any voice chats, although that will be added in very soon (along with threads, better grouping of subspaces, etc). There are open pull requests that just need to be reviewed and merged in, and there are links in its github to preview the features of the PRs.

Having a great time with Tuwunel, although it is deployed on and handled by yunohost, and my instance is text only. I wanted to try to set up voice calls, but the docs are going over my head-- it seems like so much to do in order to get calls working.

I was actually gonna test it out today (without federation) using yunohost to automate it. Also going to set up a discord bridge to see how that works

I always thought it was more like, since light can act as a wave, it is like the wave is becoming stretched out as the space expands which creates that redshift. The light isn't moving any faster or slower, but it has a redder (lower energy) frequency. Like a plucked string that is pulled more taut as the space in between expands. It essentially loses energy, and at some point that energy loss will be significant enough for light from other galaxies no longer being detectable for us. As well as any new light emitted from them simply not being able to overcome the distance+expansion speed.

There is just more space being added in between us and them, as if we were on a plane of stretchy fabric or on the surface of a balloon being blown up. From their (the other galaxy's) perspective, we are doing the same exact thing, as well as every other thing that is observable to them.

I'd personally rather approval or star voting, since ranked choice can create voter apathy through too many candidates (look up the voter response to portland oregons's last election for an example). Having to pick a unique rank for everyone is kind of arbitrary imo, but honestly anything is better than what we have

Wanted to thank you for this rec, it now sits right next to Klaus on my Christmas watchlist!

Since Fitgirl's installer just unpacks stuff, I just use the same prefix for all installers. Protontricks/wine lets you specify a path in the Z:/ drive as well (the linux base system), so no need to move stuff.

I even made a dummy exe file that does nothing and added that as a non steam game that works as a catch-all prefix for whatever I need to run without adding it as a non steam game first.

It probably has the same deals as your website, but I use https://gg.deals/. It shows keyshops with the various risks that might be associated with them, too

I don't live there, but I've often heard that the common rationale for not wearing a helmet is that bike-bike or bike-human accidents usually don't result in head injuries. Usually, it is a bike-car accident that can result in head injuries, and if you get hit by a car at speed then you have other issues.

You are correct either way, but the problem wouldn't be as bad if bike lanes are completely separated from cars. I do not have a source, but I'd assume that places like 's-Hertogenbosch, Houten and Utrecht have less head injuries due to the better (completely separated from cars) bike infrastructure compared to Amsterdam or Rotterdam.

Ah yes, the re-frigid-air-inator

Check out eartrumpet! On Windows store or just download from github, works better than Windows' volume slider ever has
