I was on reddit once, but now I’m not.
I’m also [email protected] and [email protected]
Calling people the things they literally are is not name-calling. For example, conservatives tried to overthrow our government, tried to overthrow our democracy, and have been sending elementary schools in my town bomb threats for weeks. It’s not name calling to say they’re terrorists.
Edit: To clarify, the bomb threats are because a librarian joked about having a “woke agenda.” These are the same types of people.
I mean, yeah, considering “conservatives” generally only seem to care about taking rights away from others. Giving back is pretty radical of them.
I mean, to be blunt, the game was never going to beat PAYDAY 2. PD2 is years of updates and content additions to make it fun despite the shitty engine, PAYDAY 3 is a brand new game with a lot of potential but all of it unrealized.
Unfortunately, patent trolling means they won’t become mainstream. Companies have to pay to add paddles, so they won’t unless it’s part of a more expensive controller offering.
Godot has a Humble Bundle of examples and tutorials right now.
Unreal Engine is also extremely powerful and comes with the bonus of being able to learn how to use it by making maps for Fortnite.
Considering this is a temporary measure, I imagine not. Lemmy.world has been under constant attacks as the #1 Lemmy instance and it’s not going to stop just because bots can’t get in automatically anymore.
People complain about them supposedly having DRM now or whatever but, to be frank, the fact that I can just click “print” and it actually prints makes it miles ahead by default. My printer actually functions now so I can’t say I have any regrets.
That said, this was a terrible business move. Under no circumstance is giving viability to formerly unknown competitors a good thing. Reddit may still have the raw numbers, but the fact that Lemmy and Kbin are as usable as they are is a problem Spez created.
The people who develop lemmy get paid to do so, as stated by iirc Dessalines themselves.
I would put donating to those running instances at the highest priority, because without servers, we have nothing.
If I need photos printed, I’ll go to a shop. It doesn’t happen that often and, frankly, inkjets suck so badly that I honestly doubt I’d save time or money owning one. All the headaches I’ve dealt with just trying to print basic stuff like shipping labels and documents disappeared the moment I bought a Brother laser printer.
And they wonder why we think they’re lunatics.
Sure, but we have a huge chunk of the country inhabited mostly by tumbleweeds and people with less-than-awesome education. Plus, the concept of Area 51 has been around so long and has been so prolific it’s been constantly referenced in the mainstream, from Scooby-Doo to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
Ignoring something long enough and it will go away
This is quite literally how social media works. They rely on user engagement to succeed.
Bro I could say the same thing about global warming, vaccines, race, and abortions, but I’m still surrounded by people fighting progress. Vaping is no different.
Without any of the protections you get when you make an actual loan.
I’d say a 100% refund when requested with less than two hours of use within the first two weeks is a pretty good protection, and it’s pretty much the standard policy on PC.
This is kinda why I wish we had user-level instance blocking, there aren’t any popular instances that match my preferred blocklist and I don’t want to have to go out and request federation for everything I want to see. For example, the top sites I don’t want to see are lemmy.ml, lemmygrad, and exploding-heads, and while beehaw gets all three, they also block instances I don’t find problematic like lemmy.world.
So I ended up on lemmy.world and manually block all the stuff I don’t want to see, but it’d be loads easier if I could just ask not to be shown content from instances I want to avoid.
Alright, let’s say I’m a Windows user who wants to dual-boot Linux and was planning on Fedora because I’ve heard it’s pretty good for someone transferring over from that OS, but this telemetry bullshit has turned me away.
What would you say is next best?
I’d argue reddit lost their identity days ago. Several iconic communities and features died with the API slaughter. Now it’s just another link aggregator without the things that made reddit unique.
Sometimes I think about posting pictures of our cats in a cat subreddit, but that’s too much for me.
Nope, Spider-Man 2 is the first thing I’m planning on getting super into in a while. I reinstalled Cyberpunk last night and picked up my save from 3 years ago, but I don’t know if finishing it is much of a priority for me right now so much as just having fun.
