If this is real, it’s absolutely fascinating :)
- Comment on Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration 15 hours ago:
I haven’t gamed on pc for quite some time, but I remember every gaming company adding “launchers” for their games that you had to run to install and play their games. Even Nvidia did this with their fucking drivers. :)
Valve doesn’t do any of that bullshit. Maybe that’s why gamers like them?

- Comment on After a year of operation, Switzerland's government closes its Mastodon instance 2 days ago:
The thing is, i think social media today has created a lot of censorship out of necessity. There are people out there who just aren’t mature or intelligent enough to have a conversation without insulting or pushing people down.
And because of they, we all suffer. We get over-moderated, we get called trolls etc.
I think I would like a platform where people actually have to act like adults. But that’s hard. Hacker news have kind of made it, but they are also well known for not being open minded at all.
- Comment on After a year of operation, Switzerland's government closes its Mastodon instance 2 days ago:
Depends on what you get moderated for. I once posted a question about trans people and I got banned from some Lemmy.ml community because they thought I was trolling them. I wasn’t.
It’s just sometimes hard for moderators to know what kind of person they are dealing with. But someone’s posting history is usually enough to see if they are trolling or not.
Also what is trolling. It’s supposed to mean that you intentionally upset people for fun. How can anyone know if it’s intentionally or not. To some people, asking a question is trolling because they don’t see why anyone would ask that if they didn’t try to upset people.
So… It’s interesting.
- Comment on Ubisofts stock tanked this morning ahead of the markets opening 2 days ago:
I think gaming in general have it hard now. There are millions of games and only a handful are best sellers.
I feel the same about movies. So many, but just a few are worth watching because they are original.
- Comment on ChatGPT is changing the way we write. Here’s how – and why it’s a problem. 2 days ago:
It’s a language model… Not a regexp. :)
I agree it’s overhyped and I think we will have these models in everything from phones to cars, giving us voice commands and summary functions.
It’s it going to become self aware anytime soon. :)

For better or worse, the moderation policies of Lemmy.world is seen as “the fediverse”.
- Comment on YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog 5 days ago:
I think more and more people are getting really tired of the ads, so it’s starting to affect their revenue a little bit.

The battle goes on and on.
I read about some sucked that paid for YouTube premium and still got ads in his pause screen. Lol.

Well some people win the lottery. :p
- Comment on Is Lemmy Dead ☠️ 5 days ago:
The content is pretty boring most of the time. I wonder if it’s mostly bots now. In the beginning, there was a feeling of exploring something new and exciting. But it pretty much turned into Lemmy.world, which is not very exciting…

Being dumb is being happy.

Video selfie… Lol :) People who agree to this must be desperate to use Facebook.

You have to cremate them yourself. Sorry.

Looking around and nods.
- Comment on The mark 1 week ago:
I have it too. That’s actually insane. I’m born in Sweden.
Maybe it’s the sign of everyone who agreed to be here on this planet and watch spectacular stupidy together.

It’s just someone tired of the bullshit called politics in the American daily life. Sooner or later someone is going to get real tired of the endless bullshit and zero progress.

Israel could have taken out entire hospital staffs with this “technique”. Hope they remain human and don’t.
- Comment on Frostpunk 2: Review Thread 1 week ago:
I don’t think it will be as good as the first one. That game had a unique feeling. I spent many hours trying to beat it and had tons of fun.
I hope this one is also difficult and rewarding, but I doubt it will be as good as the first one, now that we expect so much from it.
- Comment on ‘Sophisticated evil’: Beirut medics and civilians horrified by pager attacks 1 week ago:
I think it was worse before though. Imagine living anytime from 2000 years ago until just 50 years ago. Must have been damn difficult.

All animals are much better looking than people. Just accept defeat. :) We are pink apes.
- Comment on Mozilla is shutting down their Mastodon instance. 1 week ago:
Good. Stil fucking around, focus on the browser. If they can make it provide value that Google can’t, they are succeeding. Google cant compete in privacy.
- Comment on Mozilla is going to shut down their Mastodon instance 1 week ago:
Kagi is making some money despite Google existing. I’m not sure if it would be enough for mozilla, but Kagi is making a profit now.
Sadly, both of these companies still depend on Google.

- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
Literally all my downvotes are from people with different options. This is a huge echo chamber. I never insult anyone and I’m always polite. I don’t believe vaccinations are safe for everyone since there are side effects, and I think each person should make their own decision about them. I don’t think gender issues are the most important thing in the world.
These are controversial opinions on this platform. :) And I get a lot of downvotes for those opinions when they show up. Not that I care, because I just ignore it. But in the larger picture, it makes people leave the platform.
Why should they stay? I think Lemmy needs to have a good reason to be used. Memes won’t be enough.
- Comment on What happened with active users on Lemmy? 2 weeks ago:
I think because we have mostly memes and any discussion is just won by downvoting your opponent. :)
