- Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public 4 days ago:
Being owned by venture capitalists is pretty much an assurance that they’ll turn it to shit as much as they can get away with. The entire reason people abandoned digg for reddit in the first place was because it was selling out to ad space and shill accounts and manipulation. The venture capitalists will want big returns on their investments.

I felt I was being pretty specific about “the most popular”. If the most popular instance is dead, we got problems.
- Comment on China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible 1 week ago:
Passenger vehicles and homes and most businesses could be owed by solar and wind, but oil will still be used for quite a while for cargo shipping and commercial trucks and things like tires. We could use a lot less, but oil is going to hang around for quite a while. Passenger vehicles account for about 25% of oil used.

Part of the issue (I feel a large part ) is that the learning curve is too steep to get on Lemmy
Now I’m not saying it’s hard at all; but it’s significantly higher than simply “go to a main page and create a user name and password”. Lemmy needs a sign up page that just random signs you up to an active instance (per the instances permission) and automatically subscribes you to the 50 most active instances to just get you started up.
Making a getting started page that’s as idiot proof as any .com would probably go a long ways into upping our numbers here.
- Comment on Do people actually believe those "gurus" on the internet that supposedly "give advice"? These seems very sussy and feel scam-adjacent, isn't it? 1 week ago:
Lots of people. Way too many. Same with the BS TV doctors like dr Oz and dr Phill. Lotta dumb and gullible people out there.

Australia is a globally poor country (by total in the country. Individually you’re doing well) with a small population surrounded by a lot of water.
If you think things that work in a country like Australia with a mere 27 million people can work the same as a place like the USA with a population of 340 million and land bordered with Mexico and Canada, you’re thinking like a child.

So most of your argument seems to not have much to do with what is being discussed and a lot more to do with pivoting over to our government that’s gotten all fucked up. Shouldn’t you be off standing in a field somewhere?

You’re talking like you’ll be able to live in a country that could magically remove all the guns, keep em out, and never possibly need any against a tyrannical government.

Did you know pepper spray as effective on some people as others? Even more so if the person is on certain drugs? Did you know that if an assailant is pretty close to you already or the wind is blowing at you, the pepper spray may leave you just as bad off as an attacker, or that pepper spray won’t make a person drop a knife?
Hitting someone with pepper spray is fairly likely to stop an attack. Hitting someone with bullets will stop an attack.

I usually try to go in pretty much blind to anything I play or watch, but I watched a gaming related YouTube video that flipping ruined what I really would have wanted to not know about undertale.

My backlog is well over 5 years out. I haven’t gotten up to games from 2020+ yet. Lol.
I’m currently playing “Red Dead Redemption 2” , and “Psychonauts”.

The sentence itself, could be taken either way, but any reasonably intelligent gamer would be able see the list has only games released since 2020 and know which way to take the sentence.

Clicked on steam “parallel story to Undertell”.
Cool. I’ve heard of Undertell before, I should maybe get that first to play. “Click”. “This game is already in your steam library”…

Just buy two old 8GB ddr3 sticks and solder them together to make a 16GB ddr6 stick? Cheaper and one better than ddr5.

Yeah, I had the ram, but the 6600xt was the most I could buy without having to also upgrade my PSU.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 3 weeks ago:
Likewise. I haven’t bought a game that wasn’t at least a year old in a decade. Heck, right now I’m playing Psychonauts.

Paid under $200 for it and it punches well above the 1060 I’ve been using. Wanted a Radeon because they play nicer with Linux and this card is the beefiest AMD I could go without having to also buy a new PSU. Also couldn’t go much nicer anyhow or I’d be creeping up on games cpu limited, so it pairs nicely with the r 5 5600x. So for me and my particular set up it made for a nicely balanced hardware and cost choice. After this it will just be time for all new hardware in a few more years.

That’s alright. USB rails for a PCI slot are dirt cheap.

Jokes on them I just ordered a used r 5 5600x for a $140 upgrade. My shits old as dirt. I was on a 1600x and a 1060 GPU.
