Huh the more you know

Always thought gif was essentially implemented as a slideshow and that modern codecs implement all the space saving that gif doesn’t

Aren’t gifs just each individual frame bundled together? So there’s no space saving with a gif without reducing resolution

I remember back in the old days, 3p gambling sites used to have 0 verification. You could deposit skins, each with their own attached real life value, to gamble for other skins. That way those sites could make double the money by fixing the prices skin had, and by gambling mechanics, without even needing a credit card

Frog tastes pretty good but it’s too expensive for not much meat

Yea windows is such dogshit it’s honestly impressive

The only reason why windows is still alive imo is because of stupid game companies using anticheat which is almost always some invasive crap that only works on windows

So are you just gonna ignore all the other ways I’ve listed to tell a scammer?

Never said it was a one and dusted kinda thing if you had a clown award, just that it should immediately raise red flags if you have a relatively worth inventory and actively trading. MY experience is that all the randoms trying to add me that had the clown award displayed were in fact scammers.

This is in the context of trading once again, not steam forums or even general steam. Steam trading is functionally a different experience from general steam. No sane trader uses the forums to trade. Its all 3p sites. People adding you when you actively trade items are either people looking to trade or scammers. If you’re not trading in the mid to high tier range, none of what I’ve said applies to you. The clown award doesn’t mean anything then, because you’re not going to get 5+ daily friend requests

On a side note you should probably not use the forums, it’s been unmoderated for about 15 years.

In all fairness macs have a better laptop chip with their m series. Intel just caught up but only somewhat. And amds market in laptop might as well not exist.

The downside is macOS lol

I’ve had a mildly expensive inventory in the past while trading so I’ve seen a lot of scammers. The clown award was the fastest way to tell if someone was suspicious. Obviously you don’t just base it on that, other telltale signs are no mutuals, private inventory, faked hours on cs, turned off commenting on profile, account level, 3p trust sites, etc.

I’ve yet to see a single profile that was legit that had the clown award. People usually don’t give out awards, at least the profile ones. The average person buys profile decor.

This was back in 2024 ish though, I don’t trade anymore so I block non mutuals adding me

Does the clown award still exist on profiles? I used to get added by randoms everytime and they always had the clown award because that’s the easiest way for people to mark someone as a scammer

San fran is great, some of the prettiest coastline and amazing food

I can’t remember the last time I was there when it was sunny though

“My lawyers advise me to not comment on this further” is my statement of choice for most situations

Tbh if its a social/discussion based website, it will have federal agents monitoring it. Lemmy isn’t free from this either, though in our defense we are probably pretty low on the watchlist (but then again who knows)

It is a good mix, I use it for gym

About 40 to 50 a week, so about 220 ish for one person

I could shrink it down to 20 a week if I just eat chicken, rice, and bok choy, but I’ve been trying to challenge myself to meal prep a different meal every week

I mean soda as glaze is not uncommon. Coca cola can be used as a glaze base for pork spare ribs in chinese cooking. It’s basically just a sweet dark glaze at that point

I’ve seen people use soda in seafood boil as well but no clue if that tastes good.

The rice was pretty bad though. Thats the you should probably just buy a rice cooker kinda rice

Another common texas L

If a hobby exists there’s probably a local group for it

Things like hiking, biking, gardening are the most common
