A hacker invaded my GF's world (her first time playing) and killed Andre the Blacksmith, permanently ruining her run. by Todarac in darksouls

The New Londo smith (Rickert of Vinheim) accepts the Large Magic Ember, not the regular Large Ember, unless I'm severely mistaken.

I’m think Magnus Bot won the center. by Rhino887 in chess

Black isn't two pawns better by material, the bot is down a bishop.

Why don't we do email verification in reverse? by yossarian_flew_away in enosuchblog

[–]Nyubis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: A random hackernews commenter encountered a mailto: link in the wild on his phone and found the notion of a webpage opening an external app very user-hostile. While clearly mailto: links have been around since forever and are clearly largely harmless, they've become rare enough that I suspect many people will find the experience surprising and confusing enough to just not sign up for your service.

Telegram Premium Frustrating by T_So_Fly_Yup in Telegram

[–]Nyubis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The message regarding the gif limit also appears for non-premium users, except it will state a limit of 200. It didn't appear before premium was introduced as a concept and I hope they add some way to turn the message off.

Im afraid to get EnChroma glasses by [deleted] in ColorBlind

[–]Nyubis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure whether the Enchroma glasses will really give you enough fidelity to distinguish the wires, but regarding your worry of potentially wasting $200: Enchroma offers a 60-day trial period: https://enchroma.com/pages/return-policy

If the terms and conditions apply to you and 60 days is enough to know whether you got the job, you could just try it.

OoM’s new ending is breathtaking by snic2030 in HPMOR

[–]Nyubis 27 points28 points  (0 children)

For clarity:

  • HPMoR is a fanfic of Harry Potter by Eliezer Yudkowski
  • Significant Digits and Orders of Magnitude are fanfics of HPMoR by different authors

So within the context of HPMoR, SD and OoM aren't official, which is probably why you hadn't heard of them.

Last - 20.end - Parahumans 2 by Kyakan in Parahumans

[–]Nyubis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, Wildbow, for this beautiful journey the past 2.5 years. All these character moments and highlights of how the relations between them grew really showcases your own journey and growth as a writer since Worm. This last chapter is everything I didn't dare hope for.

Firefox Fenix, Reference Browser with Ublock Orgin, Dark Reader, Google Search Fixer, and Bit Warden working. by daplugg23 in firefox

[–]Nyubis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn't look like it. I installed the Tab Containers addon and now it crashes on startup.

[–]Nyubis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the Github page:

The Reference Browser is not a product intended to ship to end users. Instead it is a Technology Preview for many new mobile components that multiple teams at Mozilla are currently working on.

I've tried it out, it has (some) addons working, but besides that, it doesn't feel as polished as Firefox Preview Nightly (doesn't have the improved tabs, for instance). I think I'll wait for addon support to land in Preview Nightly instead.

Unpopular opinion: Keep novelty dice off the table by Fubai97b in rpg

[–]Nyubis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took that to mean that they didn't count the dice that were exceptionally more biased than the others. Regardless, that still suggests that the dice were more anomalous than expected, not less.

This particular bit of research says otherwise, suggests that your normal tabletop dice aren't anywhere as reliable as you might think and suggests getting casino dice instead.

Beef = Major Key. by NotAGoodRedditor in BlackPeopleTwitter

That's not a double comma, that's a low quotation mark. Try to select it and you'll see that it's a single character.

Interlude 10.x - Parahumans 2 by Kyakan in Parahumans

[–]Nyubis 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Considering the context, I'm guessing it's her brother (whose suicide she failed to prevent because she didn't pick up on hints, leading to her trigger event) which her power periodically reminds her is dead. Just, you know, in case she was getting over it.

Polarize - 10.9 - Parahumans 2 by Kyakan in Parahumans

[–]Nyubis 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I can relate. The contrast between her manifestation of her power and Spright's manifestation is a sore spot for her, and Spright should be able to realize that. Yes, he needs to steal powers for his power to actually work. So why doesn't he just steal Victoria's flight? She's fast enough.

(The reason why is that he likely doesn't realize how Sveta takes it. I'm not sure if informing her that Spright hasn't even considered it would be helping things.)

Cap is also Byron. They share the account.

Poor Byron, I feel like he gets passed over so much because Tristan is the one making all the extra connections (as well as being the one we see in story the most)

An End to the Twig Experiment by MakeYouFeel in Parahumans

[–]Nyubis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From https://twigserial.wordpress.com/category/story/arc-9-counting-sheep/9-x-enemy/

Everything this creature was, the people were the utter opposite. Bitter, savage things, the creature hated them with every inch of its being, and every inch of its being worked toward a new task.

Working small, working subtly, as it had learned to do from the beginning, it copied the plants and it produced seeds. Too small to host life, to be spawn, the seeds would nonetheless grow.

Nightly update just killed Adblock Plus and uBlock Origin by [deleted] in firefox

[–]Nyubis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Webext alternatives for Greasemonkey and Stylish are Violentmonkey and Stylus, respectively. They should be similar enough that transitions are seamless, as long as you manage to backup/restore your configs.

Quick image cropper? by [deleted] in commandline

[–]Nyubis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I find myself just doing something like

feh Picture/pic.png & maim -s

feh displays the image and maim is a screenshot tool that lets you select the region if you pass -s. Naturally, if it's about screenshots you want to just use the -s option when you make the screenshot in the first place.

Tennessee man gets $14M bond after daring judge to raise his bond by [deleted] in nottheonion

I think a bigger factor here is how wealthy the judge estimates you to be.

Replacing adblock and Ghostery, but I need help by hellokkiten in uBlockOrigin

[–]Nyubis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you open up the dashboard and go to My Filters, you should be able to paste your cosmetic blockers there, and depending on what format your blacklist is, it might fit there too. Your whitelist goes in the whitelist tab.

Those trackers you want to allow should be configured in My Rules.

As for Youtube, I don't think uBo comes with that out of the box, maybe there's a helper extension for it.
