I Completed my First Final Fantasy game!

    which nowadays is the port of the pixel remaster

    Honestly while I still love the originals, the Pixel Remasters are the only way to go these days. They're just great. Faithful to the originals with enough polish and QoL updates to make them enjoyable.

    I'd recommend to play FF2 next. It introduces character development! :)

    FF3 is... okay. It introduces the character class system, which you'll see again in FF5, which is also okay.

    FF4 and FF6 are the definitive pre-3d era Final Fantasy games, and should be on your must-play list.

    There, I've simplified it.

    As if there weren't enough money behind Activision-Blizzard, Microsoft is about to buy them. You might as well wish for the oceans to dry up.

    Apologies, didn't see the "Create Community" button up top like I'm used to on lemmy.ml, lemmy.world, etc. And I'm browsing from old.lemmy.world most of the time anyway. :P

    OP, go be the change you want to see and create the communities for the movies & shows you want.

    I do understand what you're saying - specific communities for different movies & shows. What I didn't realize is that lemmy.film doesn't allow community creation. If they did, that would allow people to create communities just like you're saying.

    I don't know of any other film-centric instances, but try searching here I suppose: https://lemmyverse.net

    I am so confused... this is being posted to lemmy.film. That's like walking into a 7-Eleven and asking if there's some place where you can buy a flavored ice drink.

  • Kids' Cartoon From Conservative University Claims That Slavery Was 'No Big Deal'
  • DarraignTheSane DarraignTheSane Now 100%

    I don't understand PragerU... they put out all of this fascist propaganda, but they still have this video up on their YouTube channel that spells out in no uncertain terms that the cause of the civil war was slavery and the south's want to defend a "morally repugnant institution":

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcy7qV-BGF4

    Is this just the one thing they keep out there to point at and say that they're "fair and balanced"?

  • The Cloud Is a Prison. Can the Local-First Software Movement Set Us Free?
  • DarraignTheSane DarraignTheSane Now 100%

    I'd say it's more that computers only enabled the opportunity for humans to invent the security problems that other humans now have to counter with better computer and human solutions.

  • Is there a CC, Debit, or other card I can use that's a little nicer to small businesses?
  • DarraignTheSane DarraignTheSane Now 100%

    Are you talking about accepting payment, or a card for use as a company spending account? I think most answers so far are assuming you're talking about accepting a card type as payment for your goods and/or services.

    Yeah, sure, bringing things back on prem where 90% of organizations do not have comparable resources in-house to manage and secure them, as opposed to leveraging a cloud provider and properly maintaining the shared responsibility model is going to "set us free".

    I'm not saying this is happening, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least if we found out that Musk was leaking any and all traffic from Starlink, including Ukraine military comms, in the name of """free speech""".

    No, allowing fascists to continue being fascists is what got us here. I had sympathy and understanding for those people in the past, and now we have Nazis. I'm done with sympathy/understanding/tolerance of those who have none.

  • Hello c/sysadmin, and welcome to the Patch Megathread! I'm editing this post and leaving it up as a single catch-all sticky post for patch days for the time being, since we're not seeing enough activity to warrant new threads IMO. If someone wants to help moderate / curate content and actively create new patch day posts, please let me know and I'll add you to the mod team.   This is the place to talk about the latest patches, updates, and releases. We put this thread into place to help gather all the information about this month's updates: What is fixed, what broke, what got released and should have been caught in QA, etc. We do this both to keep clutter out of the community, and provide a singular resource to read.   While this thread is timed to coincide with Microsoft's Patch Tuesday, feel free to discuss any patches, updates, and releases, regardless of the company or product.   Remember the rules of safe patching: * Deploy to a test/dev environment before prod. * Deploy to a pilot/test group before the whole org. * Have a plan to roll back if something doesn't work. * Test, test, and test!

    I setup this community specifically because of the time I've spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it's worth.) Come on down, ask questions, post what the sysadmin community needs to know about, or head in to get either sympathy or chastisement about why you haven't left your job yet. 🤣 Want to be a mod?

    > The Board of Aldermen on Thursday gave initial approval to one of the largest water rate increases in recent history in hopes of shoring up a water department deep in the red. The plan, carried by Alderwoman Anne Schweitzer, of far south city, and backed by the Mayor Tishaura O. Jones, would increase the average homeowner’s bill over the next year to $105 per quarter from $75. ... > The decision Thursday marked the first vote to raise water rates since the late 2000s, the last time the water department said the city had no choice.
