According to Rimu Atkinson, the main developer of PieFed, all PieFed instances come with a 3000-long block list of resources that cannot be linked to. These include all sorts of right-wing outlets. There is no easy opt-out, forcing existing instances to follow the blocklist.

The flagship PieFed instance also rolled out a feature marking various other sorts of outlets - among them, resources considered AI slop and Marxist outlets. These are specific to piefed.social.

Why YSK: Many users have hard time choosing between Lemmy, PieFed, and Kbin/Mbin. Users that prefer a more curated and politically uniform experience might prefer PieFed over the alternatives. Users that are right-wing, Marxist, or generally concerned about global censorship of the Fedi-/Threadiverse, might opt for other options instead.

Note: The post is only meant to inform users of the potentially important differences between Threadiverse platforms. Any ideologically charged discussions are better left in the respective topic.

Today’s game is Halo MCC. Originally I was going to feature me and my friend’s LASO run, but we bailed because of how much of a challenge the level Truth and Reconciliation were. So instead we did PvP since we were already there.

I have to say, this game finds ways to surprise me with its graphics every time. I know it’s a remaster of sorts but even then at an engine level it looks good. I took the above screenshot in theater and the lighting and textures are amazing. I love how the picture is lit up with the needler needle.

I will briefly talk about LASO. This level is hard. We couldn’t even make it up into the ship. It was a challenge. I think there’s probably some technique speed runners use but I’m not sure what it is so until then I’ll be brute forcing this until I make it.

I also wanted to bring up Halo 3. Or more how loose the gun play feels. It’s a nice contrast to Reach’s. Reach’s feels a little more precise and rigid, but 3 has a nice looseness to it that feels good. It makes firing the battle rifle feel right, almost as good as the Halo 2 Battle Rifle.

I also like the map we picked in general (I believe it’s called epitaph). It has these grav lifts and you can employ some clever strategies with them and anything with physics. I liked shoving the fusion coils and the grenades in there to clear where I’m going to land. But I’ve also tossed power ups and even used a body as a shield before. Mechanics like this are definitely what I feel like are this game’s strong point.

There wasn’t a whole lot to talk about. Especially because my plans for LASO fell through. But I took note of what I did want to talk about (though I’m sure I sound like a broken record by now with how often i talk about Halo)

For a long time, ever since i was a little kid, I had always used and trusted Windscribe.

I have no major issues with it as it is still decently reliable. I believe Windscribe is a good product, but the VPN ban talk is making me consider a new candidate and I am looking at Mullvad VPN. While Windscribe was nice for so long, I want the safety of a VPN that operates in a country that doesn't give a fuck.

Mullvad looks promising, and the APT repo comes with a browser too. Doubt I'll touch it over Librewolf, however it is a tool I am genuinely considering switching to as my daily driver VPN.

If you've used Mullvad for a long time, has it served you well in the long run?

In February polling by DemosAU showed 80% of Queenslanders value forest protection and recreation in public native forests above timber production.

Fifty-six percent of Queenslanders want an end to native forest logging, and an overwhelming majority across the political spectrum (70-80%) back incentives to grow more timber plantations. Only 20% of participants identified timber production as the most important use of native forests.

In light of this clarity of public sentiment, the Crisafulli Government needs to urgently review all values of State-owned native forests, as it finalises its Future Timber Plan 2050 five-year action plan. The Plan is expected to lock in native forest logging.

“A thorough review of all forest values should be an urgent priority, and should come before these public assets are sold off to loggers for another 25 years, Queensland Conservation Council protected areas campaign manager Nicky Moffat said.

“Public native forests should be opened up for camping, bushwalking, bird watching, environmental education and other respectful outdoors activities that Queenslanders enjoy.

This scenario [re plants] is getting especially bad in the Arctic, the Mediterranean and Australia, the study found. In the Arctic it's because the temperature is warming four times faster than the rest of the globe and in Australia it's driven more by rainfall changes...

This is the config I used.

No camo or anything (other than on my backpack) - just my hiking clothes and a hat.

It's a challenge with these kinds of pictures to balance blending in while still being visible to the people looking at the photo. The line between a camouflage shot and just a picture of the forest is pretty narrow.
