Other way around.

Considering who is behind it, I just use Open Library. In particular because like you say, their actual data is much more useful.

Absolutely SLAMMED! 😂

No that’s just a typo, it’s a big ass-fuck SUV actually.
- Comment on Post with 22k upvotes mentions Lemmy as an alternative to Reddit 4 weeks ago:
Seems to depend massively on the sub though, most I am in will never see a right winger above -20 and constantly mocked at best.
- Comment on If Europe and the rest of the worlds response it to make weapons of war, someone will eventually insure they are all used. 4 weeks ago:
Funny example that, considering how many missiles do go unused. Are you disagreeing with your own post then?
- Comment on If Europe and the rest of the worlds response it to make weapons of war, someone will eventually insure they are all used. 4 weeks ago:
Well… has that happened with all the other weapons of war?
I mean I get the sentinment, and in localized situations this makes sense to a degree. OTOH you have all the nuclear missiles that were taken apart again or just turned to rust. Or the Zumwaldt class, which is just how you glue money bills together in the shape of a ship. Or the insane mountain of stuff that was never used and mothballed.

I mean it’s a Jeep. You don’t buy that if you don’t want a limp car, anyways. :P

Wait… wrong game.

Aren’t federal judges Article III judges?
If so, congress can remove them. The same congress that’s in republican hands, too.

You aren’t dehumanizing anyone. Nazis did the dehumanizing themselves, who are you to object to that personal freedom of choice.
- Comment on Heroes of Might and Magic is the best Might and Magic 1 month ago:
The two Xeen games are still such a fuzzy memory to me. Being able to install them into the same folder was so wtf at the time. 😅
- Comment on Why are there triangles in the infill that get filled with one layer? 1 month ago:
Hrm, unlike then. I was thinking whether someone had added that solid-layer-every-X-layers option to the slice. (sadly can’t remember the name, and am at work)
- Comment on Why are there triangles in the infill that get filled with one layer? 1 month ago:
Was this a ready-to-print file you got from someone? Or one that you sliced yourself?

Could even decorate it with a pattern based on an asian symbol commonly found on temples!

That’s a good question. I would hope so!

It’s up to each game dev to police their forums, AFAIK.

I mean yeah, no shit. The steam forums could be removed at no loss to the human race, in fact it’d remove a significant percentage of all really shitty talk on the internet if they deleted everything entirely.

Oh I dis not know that! Interesting! Thanks for the correction.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 months ago:
I mean even if it repeats “the Twitter mistake” that’d still be another 13-14 years to go. Who knows where short-form social media will be conceptually in that time and whether any competition in the space is even still relevant.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 months ago:
Yes and no. It was already rejection at the selection stage back then, but you luckily never had to. You got one from your ISP, or your university, and you just used that. Sure, some techies had their own mail server or so but it’s just mail, just use what you got was enough for the vast vast majority of people.
You’ve got mail!
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 months ago:
Honestly? I needed a Gmail account anyways, so I might as well use that. Same hammer-analogy, not going to buy a new one while mine is working.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 months ago:
Wasn’t like the US people couldn’t have trivially prevented that by actually going to the votes instead of not voting. At some point it’s willful on behalf of the people. 🤷
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 months ago:
Yeah that’s why I’m on Bluesky. Twitter was always just a “check whether company XYZ said something about their servers being down”-place.
And Bluesky has a lot of these companies now. A few government places OTOH are on Mastodon. I have both, but both exclusively in this capacity.

I just loooove how pppl believe that whether something has VC-funding or is federated has any effect at all on how people pick software and systems to use.
I mean, users don’t even not care, because “caring vs not caring” assumes that the metric they can care about or not mentally exists in their context for judging a decision. Which it does not. Which is a very important part so many software designers of user-facing software forget, to users a short-form posting instance is a tool. A hammer. You use the one you got. Once it becomes defunct, you get a new one. You pick one that all your friends use, because hey, must be great if everyone uses it. Does it have some downsides? Maybe, but frankly it’s a hammer who cares?!

I tried to join Beehaw simply because a reddit community I was actively part in went there.
I got told that’s not a valid reason to join, and that further applications from me would be ignored. I mean… okay? Sure… guess I’m no longer part of that community.
