- Comment on What challenge from a game isn't worth completing and what challenge from a game is worth completing? 2 days ago:
I didn’t do all the optional bosses in expedition 33. I finished the plot and was so powered up the story bosses didn’t even get a turn. But fighting the billion hp “dodge 13 hits in a row or die” just wasn’t fun for me.
- Comment on Bluesky just verified ICE 5 days ago:
Lol, yeah. If I saw an account labeled “American Nazi Party” with a blue check mark, I wouldn’t think “wow, Bluesky endorses Nazis” - I’d think “wow, this isn’t a satire account, these are actual Nazis, imma block them.”
I’d think “wow they let Nazis on here. Like they know about them and are cool with that. This place is trash”
- Comment on I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows 1 week ago:
Yep. I’ve been during linux as my main desktop for maybe a year or two now, and it’s been fine. I don’t tinker with it. Most things just work.
The only thing that’s been a little dicey is mods for games, but I think I just need to figure out how like wine and proton prefixes work. It’s probably not hard, I just haven’t had a need lately.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 week ago:
- read Bandcamp’s writeups. Sometimes they do a deep dive into a genre, city, or band. daily.bandcamp.com
- if you find something you like, scroll down and there’s other users who bought it. Peek into their collections
- if you scroll down further on an album, there will be more recommendations
- you can search by genre or tag, too

There’s not to my knowledge a good way to run/test GitHub actions locally. So if I want to verify my change uploads the coverage report after the end of the pipeline, I have to run the whole thing. And then I find an error because on the GitHub runner blah blah is different
- Comment on Rockstar baulks as a Charlie Kirk assassination mission is created in GTA Online, bans it and censors his name, but there's more out there 1 week ago:
Capitalism. The rich owner types don’t like this sort of thing, and they have a lot of power. They don’t really have coherent values except “in-group to protect, out-group to bind” and “no one tells me what to do. i tell you what to do.”
- Comment on Fallout: London hasn't developed into a Fallout 4-esque hub of new quest and expansion mods so far, and its lead has theories why 1 week ago:
Yeah Fallout4 was kind of bad. I played it a lot anyway (sim settlements 2 is pretty good) but the core of it is rotten.
- Comment on Does anyone think people in Minnesota should radicalize others there to socialism? 1 week ago:
Honestly, probably yes. People are emotional people and a face to face conversation can be a big impact.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_canvassing is one take on it
- Comment on Does anyone think people in Minnesota should radicalize others there to socialism? 1 week ago:
Zohran had many volunteers knocking on doors and talking to people. He’s also charismatic, and focused on concrete actionable things.
It’s hard to get people mad about “let’s run buses on time”.
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 week ago:
Broadly, where the optimal path is the boring or tedious path.
Imagine an action game where you fight monsters and get coins for defeating them. Coins can be exchanged to buy new moves, advance the plot, and so on. Basic game loop.
Now imagine that you get triple coins if you wear the red shirt when fighting red monsters. Every time you see a red monster, you could go into the menu, into equipment, into body armor, swap on the red shirt, exit all the menus, and kill the monster. Then repeat all that for blue shirt and blue monsters.
This is a made up example but some games do shit like that, where you have to do something tedious for a big payoff.
- Comment on There are only like 3,000 billionaires and they're not physically imposing people. 1 week ago:
One time I saw NK Jemisen , author of the broken earth trilogy give a talk. Someone asked about climate change and she said something like “there’s only a small number of people responsible for most of this problem, and we know where they live”
The audience cheered and clapped. The guy moderating the talk got real flustered.
- Comment on The cliche "sex talk" starts with a lie 1 week ago:
Not the building super, nor my friend when she came by with a drain snake that one time.
Or, to use an example that’s not trying so hard to be a pun: you go down to the local rec center to find a pickup game of basketball or whatever. No one’s paying anyone. You go, find a game, have a good time, and leave. Maybe see each other again. Maybe not. Is that sociopathy?
- Comment on The cliche "sex talk" starts with a lie 1 week ago:
There’s a wide range of options between utterly repulsive and loved. That’s a huge excluded middle. Do you think people don’t fuck on the first date?
- Comment on The cliche "sex talk" starts with a lie 1 week ago:
You deleted your other reply I already replied to, so I’m pasting what I wrote here:
You’re shifting the topic. You said,
No, I’m pretty sure that people who use each other for solely selfish purposes is a primary symptom of sociopathy
Note this claim isn’t about sex. It’s a broad claim that any circumstances where one party uses another for selfish purpose is sociopathy.
Since getting someone to fix a clogged toilet is using someone for selfish purposes, your claim would make that sociopathy. I think that’s absurd, and thus your claim is false.
I hate to break it to you but people who like to have sex with each other on a regular basis without exchanging money or other favors, they probably love each other but they’re so scared of the word love because for some reason in recent decades the word love has been become taboo.
Citations needed. You just made this up and I see no reason to take your word for it that people are scared of the word love, nor that love has become taboo. Furthermore, many people have regular sex without feeling love.
You’re taking your world view and beliefs and claiming they’re far more universal than they are.

- Comment on we need more users 1 week ago:
I tell people about lemmy and send them links. Mostly people don’t care about anything. Abstract or remote things like “should a platform be owned by one asshole?” just doesn’t even enter their brain.
- Comment on How do you "process" hundreds of tabs you haven't gotten a chance to look through? 1 week ago:
I don’t let the problem get that bad in the first place.
On my computer, I close the browser end of day and all the tabs go away. On my phone, it auto archives tabs I haven’t looked at in a week. I close those periodically, but a few I use as off brand bookmarks (eg: a recipe I like)
- Comment on The cliche "sex talk" starts with a lie 1 week ago:
Thus hiring someone to fix your plumbing or do your yard work is sociopathy?
Also two people can have mutually enjoyable sex without “love”.
You’ve got a weird take.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 1 week ago:
I’ve thought about switching. I do like the password saving and syncing between Android and desktop that Firefox does, and I’m not sure if the forks do that.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 1 week ago:
No regrets on switching to Linux here. Almost all of the time I just use the GUI to launch steam or Firefox. No AI nagging me (aside from whatever nonsense Firefox is up to)
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 1 week ago:
I didn’t get one because it’s too expensive.
Steam deck was a little pricey but it has a backlog of games going back like 50 years, and I already have a large library. Plus the games are cheaper.
- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 2 weeks ago:
I feel like online spaces like lemmy over represent some behaviors.
- Comment on YSK that Chris Hughes, one of the founders of Facebook, says the company must be dismantled 2 weeks ago:
Mark is a good, kind person
No he’s not.
He has done tremendous, incalculable, harm to countless people. All of our lives are worse because Zuckerberg is an asshole.
- Comment on Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask but maybe this comic will be interesting anyway
- Comment on Microsoft Office has been renamed to “Microsoft 365 Copilot app” 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft 365 is a worse name than Microsoft Office.
- Comment on Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it? 2 weeks ago:
People are idiots. They believe things that feel good.
- Comment on Evidence 2 weeks ago:
People believe based on feelings, not facts. That’s all it is.
- Comment on Windows 11’s 2025 problems are getting impossible to ignore 2 weeks ago:
Been pretty happy with Linux for the past year or two.
A few minor problems here and there. I was struggling to figure out how to adjust the screen brightness (pop!_os defaults). Found a command line tool to adjust gamma - my girlfriend was a little baffled. Then I realized I should just adjust the brightness on the display itself, on the hardware.
- Comment on The whole "toilet seat up, toilet seat down" gender debate could be solved by everybody putting the seat and lid down. 2 weeks ago:
I (cis man) always fully close the toilet when it’s not in use. Never would occur to me to do otherwise.
Some of my women friends leave the seat down lid open, but then their cats drink out of the toilet.
- Comment on Steam survey for December 2025 shows Linux holding to 3.19% 2 weeks ago:
Full time Linux here. No complaints.
Been playing expedition 33 and vampire survivors.
