Any particular reason for those claims?

I can vouch for lemm.ee being nice

Lemm.ee is a great neutral instance and the admin seems nice, you probably made a good choice choosing it over .ml. Glad to see you were not scared away from Lemmy by it. Welcome! It can get confusing, but it just takes time. It’s a nice little place, overall and feels more like reddit used to be once.

What I heard from the alpha this one was promising but not quite there yet. I have my eye on it for a while, sounds great on paper.

May I ask what triggers thr scummy feeling for you?

You really nailed it. I’ll take it one step further though - religion as a concept is not the problem. Having gods, holidays rites and rituals - that’s all good.

It’s religion as an organization, when it gives people power which they can misuse when we start having problems.

Your way of saying it is way clearer though.

That’s what I figured, but I’m not expert on how things work so wanted someone who knows more chime in. Sad times

Since it is server side, will this effect the alternative front ends?

Depends on the place I guess. I’m pretty sure some are updated

And once you are finished you can probably start over to stay up to date

I think OP has better idea wit reusing it first before recycling. No point in recycling a functioning phone when you may have a use for it still.

I tried MagicEarth for navigation and quite happy with it. It is not open source, but should be privacy respecting (not seen anything as of now that would suggest they don’t mean it). Even has trafic info (though not as reliable as Waze/Google). A middle road for when you want to degoogle but also have some convinience in places where OSM is not as up to date.

Though I don’t think it has additional details for the businesses and such like Google Maps, it’s purely for navigation.

It’s manned by military personel who should expect not having comfortable 1g all the time (either way doesn’t matter as Star Wars has magic gravity anyways)

Could still establish orbit and adjust spin in a way so they are tidally locked

It’s Star Wars so most likely nr 1.

Quite

How so?

I assume you mean greatswords and such? Those are cool for sure, but I can see people having reservations due to safety for sparring nd such - though correct me if I’m wrong, those were not much used in duel scenarios and such - how do you generally use them, outside of solo drills?

Also, in terms of safety - I just saw a review of a zweihander trainer by Regenyei, looked interesting. Basically an upscaled longsword feder by the looks of it - unfortunately the guy only talked about it with sword in hand, and it was a close-up so it was not very well done review, but it might interest you these exist now. I at least didn’t see any up until now.

One is all you need, really. It worked and held up really well - I just indulged myself because I loved the design and it was super discounted.

I also had the first one with both money clip and strap, but liked the clip more so went with dual money clip for mu current one.

The one I’m most familiar with is longsword, as that’s what our group trains with predominantly. I also really love one handed sword&buckler - I’m not necessarily good with it but it’s super fun.
