⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"i can hear the difference"⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
I miss when being an audiophile was just using vintage equipment and/or opting for lossless formats over compressed mp3s.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Lioness does not...⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
I have seen those Breaking Bad arguments before too, and I am more inclined accept that sentiment there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thailand and Cambodia agree to 'immediate' ceasefire⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
A thousand or so dead and hundred of thousands displaced.

Over some colonial border shit.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Lioness does not...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

Misogyny is a massive problem on reddit

Yeah but this is Lemmy. There’s far more overlap between ‘sausage party’ and ‘women’ here than most other social media can even handle.

And like, I never watched GoT nor read the books but still caught the reference. So this doesn’t feel like a form of arcane misogyny.

Why yes I do drive a Nissan.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨get out of my head⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The decision to keep the ring on. Nice.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Drova is surprisenly reactive⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I immediately caught the Gothic references/influence which I think was actually a bit of a drawback for me. I was able to predict a lot of the mechanics and story, like being able to figure out essentially a frame perfect way to defeat the strong bandits early in the game and then coasted on that loot.

That said I think it had quite a bit more depth than I was expecting and I appreciated that a great deal.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t really care about game awards but it does seem like some retroactive application of opinion on genAI if they used it in 2022. There was a very different landscape and general opinion on genAI in 2022, (nonone really knew or cared.) I suspect the award show made the rule about genAI after 2022.

Either way, happy to see more press about good games, be it C33 or Blue Prince.

Okay, but in oil or butter?

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have no idea what's going on.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Gotta respect the cern.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this real life?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Sadly this fake Toilet Paper USA type stuff tends to provide cover for the heinous shit they actually say, while simultaneously obscuring the crazy things they do with the absurdity.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw MS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Twenty years or so ago I’d give MS credit for helping spawn a global PC hardware industry by standardizing an OS platform. I figured not just the Nvidias and Intels but the Dells, the EVGAs, and the MSIs all were a net positive and supported by there being a windows.

This was because I always compared them to Apple.

So much more now I understand the folly of being limited to comparing the bad choices and ignoring the good options.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Honestly wtf?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Humans before the Ice Age were fishing for tuna in the deep sea and were coastal hopping everywhere there are coasts to hop.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WHO DID THIS?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The mod.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOP overhaul of broadband permit laws: Cities hate it, cable companies love it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That’s closer to it. The local permitting jurisdictions get nothing out of approving or denying applications. They get held up for two reasons: the proposal is incomplete/unapprovable by law; and political intervention from an outside entity. Maybe the mayor or a commissioner, sometimes a director of an agency or organization. That’s where any bribery or other such shenanigans would take place. Not the permitting office.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

But I seriously doubt anyone is going to give a shit with a user having a personal opinion. I certainly don’t.

So leave me alone

Alright then. I’ll easily disengage from this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Here’s one comment that I spent my morning digging up instead of enjoying my coffee. Scrolling MWoG isn’t exactly enjoyable.

lemmy.world/post/29173321/16870997

I couldn’t find the specific thread I was thinking of that was actively calling for removal. But that’s a comment referencing that demand as a discussed option.

Digging through post histories and searching lemmy is not something I am ever inclined to do, so I was appealing to a shared experience/memory since the whole push for donations brought up a lot of those discussons everywhere they were.

Also Meanwhileongrad is on my local feed so I see all the threads and discussions before curation, so I rarely if ever comment propotionally.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
There was a petition posted awhile back about wanting the Lemmy devs to give away control over the code because of their politics. I will see if I can find it but I think it was over a year ago at this point. I am almost positive it was cm002, but I’ll see if I can find that thread. No harm in seeing if my recollection is accurate.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
It was going on in the main/top thread of this topic when I opened it. Linking this thread would seem unnecessary? First reply to hamid by cm002 in this post is calling them an alt of another user?
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
To me it seems mostly as a method to obscure post history. It’s the other side of the coin of users who delete everything 24-48 hours afterwards. Incredibly annoying and only leads me to feel suspicious.

After all, you’ll note how quick the user is to dive into post histories and theorycraft on who is whose alt accounts. The notion that there’s something to be found in there is some kind of projection for sure.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am fucking tired of this shitty behavior.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I am pretty sure this user in question is the same that has made previous demands the Lemmy devs ‘sell’ the code to an independent third party like some kind of IMF loan situation. There’s a level of dedication against the platform itself that exists.

I had always assumed they’d just gone over to piefed and put their crusade to rest.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about the French Republican Calendar⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Disenfranchised ruling class commits to counter-revolution. Repeat.

But for that specifically, it is conveniently called the Thermidorian Reaction, using this calendar’s terminology.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It’ll be taken care of by the new Microsoft CEO: Miguel Sanchez.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The PP Police⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It kinda looks like Hot Fuzz? It’s been a while to remember.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
Bazzite is a vehicle for Steam. If your basis for using it isn’t ‘gaming through Steam’, you’re already intentionally venturing into un-average lands.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
It is a perfect baseline OS. It gets people connected to Steam faster and easier to Windows, which is the main access to most games.

Biggest obstacles to venturing out in Linux is the documentation for everything is not built or assuming normie users. The default assumption of competancy does not exist in Windows manuals.

But even so using Homebrew in Bazzite is no more complex than in Windows.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Windows can automount USB drives, so a flash drive can get inadvertently formatted, (or something to do with the bootloader, i don’t know the technical details that well.) Point is the automounting can break a flash drive that isn’t formatted for windows.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Microsoft Forces Users to Ditch Windows 10, It Announces That It’s Also Turning Windows 11 into an AI-Controlled Monstrosity⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
Switched everything to Bazzite as a start. Easiest switch after figuring out Windows sabotages boot drives.

I may have pirated all my Windows but man it feels good to be off that ride. Spoofing corporate licenses for the authenticator was such a hassle.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discuss⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
There was an episode I remember where they explored Mexican cuisine and a contestant said ‘Gacky-molo’ for ‘Guacamole’ and that has stuck with me since.
