• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy vote aggregation idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  My pet peeve is people downvoting in communities they aren’t subscribed to about posts they aren’t interested in. They just sort by new, and when they see something they don’t like, they smash that downvote button without even looking at the post or contents.

  Part of it is because we all have unlimited votes; people vote without thinking. It would be different if everyone had a finite number of votes to use. And you get awarded a few votes for making a comment or post. Maybe award extra votes for commenting in small communities.

  This would serve 2 purposes. 1.) People would use their votes a lot more thoughtfully. 2.) It would encourage people to comment and post more.

  The downside is that someone could set up a bot to spam posts and comments into a dead community just to rack up votes.

  Let’s face it, Nvidia doesn’t care if you buy a gaming card or not right now. You can complain, but they can’t hear you over their money counting machines.

  Nvidia is only selling enough gaming cards to keep their market share from falling too low. All the rest of their silicon is allocated towards data center.

  My Mastodon instance disappeared a few weeks ago, so I’m getting a kick out of this post.

  Thanks. Mine were wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why aren't all rooms holodecks?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say the biggest reason is energy, like everyone else. But also, being able to make your room into any fantasy scenario you want would probably lead to problems with adjusting to everyday life. They don’t need a whole ship full of Barclays screwing up at their job.

  I don’t have a problem with these companies building new data centers, but when it comes to powering them, they need to pay the market rate; no subsidies or tax credits.

  I should not have to pay more out of my pocket just so Meta can get electricity at a lower rate than I do.

  I saw the SR+RoadCraft package on Steam. I might check it out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I created a community for the popular trucking game "Snowrunner"!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still playing Mudrunner. Is there a big difference?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with CameronDev, not so much on the capacity, but the bandwidth. At 100+ Gb, the Ryzen/Core platforms are really holding you back with their weak I/O.

  If you need that much memory, you might be better off picking up a used Xeon/Epyc from Ebay. Their CPU speeds are lower, but the quad channel RAM could make up for it, depending on what you’re trying to do.

  I just downloaded and tried it. It’s beautiful. Brings back so many memories.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Five Confusing Fediverse Things⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mastodon is still confusing to me. But that’s probably because I’ve never been on Twitter, FB, Insta, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy - The FOSS & Federated Reddit Alternative⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  One day it was the 18th largest Lemmy instance, then it just disappeared. No word from the owner or anything.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Landing page for all my services⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  tchncs.de/en/ has a pretty good landing page.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some of the non-technical parts of the fediverse that appeal to you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not so focused on the US. I live in the US and I’m getting tired of hearing about us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy - The FOSS & Federated Reddit Alternative⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice video. Looking at those instance names, I can pretty much tell the era when this video was made. I’m a vlemmy orphan.

  Seems like that should be illegal, like changing the odometer on a car, but what do I know.

  And here I was complaining about cheeseburger.social going down. Our user count was well into the dozens. Dozens!
