Yes, 2023 is widely regarded as the worst year ever in gaming
- Comment on Apple has a memory problem and we're all paying for it 11 months ago:
I absolutely love Apple Silicon—the performance to power ratio is wonderful, and the high-speed memory makes things like LLMs work great—but the RAM upcharge is insane, and shipping anything “Pro” with 8GB of RAM should be criminal in 2023.
I really hope that Qualcomm can make some noise with their new laptop/desktop processors. Anything to light a fire under Apple’s ass and make them stop skimping on RAM.

- Comment on Qualcomm will try to have its Apple Silicon moment in PCs with “Snapdragon X” 1 year ago:
It’s gotta be Microsoft building it into Windows. The Apple Silicon transition wouldn’t have been nearly as smooth if people had to pay for, say, CrossOver or something to use their Intel apps. And the tepid response to the ARM Surface models makes me think that it’s a must, despite the UWP dream.
The good news is that Rosetta 2 shows it can be done extremely well!

I hope this is the one thing that he actually follows through on. Drive a stake through it already
- Comment on Dealing with new users’ expectations 1 year ago:
lemm.ee is cool because it federates with so many other instances. I don’t understand why so many people are set on taking that away when they could just join a different instance that shares their zeal for defederating.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
Thank you for posing that question! I think the tendency to blame Russia/China/whomever is a complete failure to address the actual root of the issue.
If everyone who works for a non-American intelligence agency suddenly lost the ability to post on the internet, would Americans start getting along better? Or would a significant percentage of Americans still have a reactionary hate fest running on their televisions every waking hour, their opinions reinforced by Facebook echo chambers full of other actual Americans? I think the difference would be to small as to be imperceptible.
When it comes to tearing each other apart and working against our shared interests, America has a well-oiled machine running that hardly requires any foreign intervention.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
It’s definitely not the nonstop right-wing hate machine media infrastructure that’s entrenched in American life. And it’s most certainly not an American capitalist class that hoards the wealth and has every incentive to keep the working class at each others’ throats.

It’s got that Chrono Trigger Feel™. The first time we triggered a battle, the party and enemies all jumped to their starting places on the map. I was so happy

At first glance, this makes zero sense, but once you dig in and read the details, it makes even less sense
- Comment on Opinions wanted: defederating with bot spam instances 1 year ago:
I had the same experience. I had to use the lemm.ee default web interface to block the two repost bots.
- Comment on Opinions wanted: defederating with bot spam instances 1 year ago:
Why is it gross? They’re posting things on their own server as a service to users who want it. They’re not being dishonest or deceitful about it.
- Comment on Opinions wanted: defederating with bot spam instances 1 year ago:
Firefish (Mastodon-compatibile microblogging) has a view called “Recommended”, which is like “All” but shows posts from only federated servers that the admins recommend. It’s a great feature and would be welcome on Lemmy.
In the meantime, I’ve blocked the two Reddit repost bot accounts and have been just fine since.
- Comment on Opinions wanted: defederating with bot spam instances 1 year ago:
I don’t personally find these bot posts useful, and I think they clutter up the All timeline, but they aren’t being deceitful or anything, and there may be folks who find these posts useful. I like the lemm.ee federation policy of generally allowing everything unless it’s full of bad actors.

Just in time, too. Another settlement needs our help
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
Thank you for your thoughtfulness and measured response on this. I moved to lemm.ee because of the federation policy, and I’m heartened to see that you haven’t abandoned it despite plenty of personal pressure to do so.
I think you’re right that the shininess of federation will wear off after a while. I appreciate the mods/admins of both instances putting in the effort to make it work in the meantime.
