  So you are saying Mastodon won’t take off because people need to choose a server but also because having a “default” where majority will ptobably end up is bad - but this is literally the solution to the problem you mentioned

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-reckoning, do you remember the original one?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Never really got into it but really loved the concept.

  Also RIP the MMO that should’ve been.

  Just the fact you thought of this confirms your identity

  Calm down Satan

  Mine is Gothic and Soul Reaver - getting both so I’m a happy camper

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Talking to dead people through AI: the business of ‘digital resurrection’ might not be helpful, ethical… or even legal.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And not a “don’t do this” kind of warning. More of a “this will happen, get ready” kind of warning

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy should have a community called lemmy_guess⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d subscribe to that community

  Hey, I’ve seen this one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Let me put it this way - I know nothing about programing and was also scared of all the terminal talk and stuff. And I can vouch for Linux Mint.

  You know how you sometimes havento use command line in Windows for some issues? That’s pretty much comparable to terminal usage from my layman perspective. I installed Linux Mint on a separate drive and only booted to Windows once or twice since then - it’s been couple of months now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seeking feedback: how should lemm.ee move forward with external images? (related to frequent broken images)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Option 2 sounds best, but if that would mean broken images continuing I’d lean to nr 3.

  I like the idea thatwas floated to retain temporary images for longer, but I don’t really know if and how much that would help. If possible, it could be worth the try. But I’m just a layman in these things so what do I know?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The Broken Empire trilogy. Also Red War trilogy, which is spin-off (though uses these themes a bit less)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do animals feel love and emotion?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not only barring teeth, dogs also do a “submissive smile” in some cases, to show they are not a threat. Not seen much but when we got our second dog she was very insecure and “smiled” a lot. Definitely not for showing happines but I think I read our smiles have similar origins.

  Very happy with Linux Mint

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phonebooks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Man, I was already feeling ancient. Ypu using “1900s” didn’t help much :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phonebooks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Man rotary phones were the best

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Phonebooks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They were quite big, but used super thin paper and small font. There were books thicker still, but still the phrase “thick as a phone book” was used.

  There were also Yellow Pages (same format as phone books, but entirely yellow) which listed businesess and stuff.

  Pre-internet these were the household essentials.

  If anybody does it would be the perfect answer on multiple levels.

  You don’t understand, steel is either solid or melted. No in-between. No idea what ^ou mean by forging temperature, swords for example are forged by pouring liquid steel to a form, it’s in so many movies!

  /s obviously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The unpleasantness of mosquito bites is not something useful for mosquitoes, but it *is* useful for the ones who suffer it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My grandpa didn’t mind the bites. He would chill in the garden with 5 or more of the fuckers on him and let them have at it, conciously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Threads spotted exploring ads, but says 'no immediate timeline' toward monetization⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They need to make it nice first, to reel people in. Once they are in and invested, that’s when ads start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Biden died tomorrow and Harris took over? and she won the election also. Could she work full two terms or would it count as one when Biden died?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m always pedantic, except when I’m not 😂

  So you are not always pedantic. So you are not really pedantic if you said you are always but are not… unless you were pedantic about saying you are not always pedantic?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is Lemmy better than Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So when people say “better” in this context, most likely they mean the general feel tha objective reasons inpacting day to day user experience.

  The objectively better features are open source nature and the decentralization - but this may actually make user experience worse (meaning more complicated to understandandget into).

  As for the “better feeling” aspect, it just feels more like Reddit used to be once upon a time. Everything is more natural. Reddit is a very mainstream and corporate place and you can feel it for at least few years now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of laptop charger do I need for my laptop⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are also 4.5mm barrels occasionally

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What kind of laptop charger do I need for my laptop⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your current adapter should have the wattage on it - buy the same. If you no longer have it, you can search yoir laptop by the service tag od the Dell Support page nd cjeck the configuration there - it should have the original adapter listed. Buy the same.

  If in doubt, just buy the 240W as that should work even if it used 180W.
