Yeah, I know. But "what does greek mythology say about using windows" would have been less funny.

If by that you mean connected my computer account to a Microsoft account, nope, I did no such thing.

That's weird. I don't get the prompt at all, but I do have a button in the lower left corner that says "Sign In." Maybe it's because I'm on Windows 11?

Pathfinder has that too, so it presumably carried through 3.5e. It's why wizards don't wear armor, and only applies to arcane casters, and classes that are meant to wear some armor like bards get exemptions for the tiers of armor they're meant to wear.

Well to be fair, that wasn't until 6 hours after my comment and 9 hours after yours, so neither of us could have known for sure.

Complimenting a username is nice, but you don't have to throw in a disclaimer about political alignment. I don't think any of your hexbear friends, if they're reasonable, would call you a lib because you complimented the username of a guy whose instance is populated by libs.

At least it doesn't look like it shrunk too.

I have no problem with the acceptable ads system. ABP doesn't get any money from it, and the ads have to meet the criteria anyways, and it's easy to opt out. I guess it's a bit fishy that the list maintainers charge money to get ads reviewed, but the FAQ ThunderWhiskers posted says that smaller companies get it for free, and they only charge the bigger companies. I'm not gonna get up in arms over someone charging Disney money for a service they give the local deli for free.

I also like the way it gives companies an incentive to produce less intrusive ads. With the system, unintrusive ads reach more people. Otherwise, it's all or nothing, which makes intrusive ads the best option from a greedy perspective; they're far more likely to be clicked, and the only cost is the risk of damaging the ad ecosystem as a whole (and you know how little corporations can care about damaging ecosystems.)

The alt text doesn't help, can someone explain the joke here?

I voted for you, Kevin.

 
 

There have been quite a few comments and posts arguing about political memes and whether they belong here. I'm not exactly in any position of authority, but hopefully I can do something about this.

Which option do y'all think is best?

  1. People who want to post political memes do so in !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca instead.
  2. People who don't want to see political memes subscribe to !memes@sopuli.xyz instead, which doesn't allow politics.
  3. Nothing changes.

I'm not asking for a rule to be made, I'm just asking for the general consensus. I'm hoping that this will help to raise awareness of those other communities, so that if people favor option 1, more political meme posters can move there, and if people favor option 2, more people who don't want politics can move there. And then I can also know whether to keep watching this community or move.

(Please don't downvote this post for complaining about political memes, because if it gets seen, it tells the complainers where they can go to avoid political memes, and then they'll be out of your hair.)
