It’s like they really don’t want me to use their platform anymore

NJ legitimately has some of the worst, most aggressive drivers

- Comment on If the next pres. is a Democrat and wants to roll back all of Trumps bullshit. How can they do that quickly and efficiently? 1 week ago:
“I hereby rescind any and all executive orders signed by president Donald Trump”
Executive Order of next Democratic president.
Of course that doesn’t fix the generational damage that has been done at a time when we don’t have generations left to fix the earth.
- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 1 week ago:
When I was young, these were also basically the only two JRPGs that existed that I could get.
Now, there are countless thousands, and these are just two names amongst many. And FF really feels like they are just phoning it in recently for me personally.

Dr Oz? You mean that guy in the Trump-Epstein Files?
- Comment on The Duality of Lemmy 1 week ago:
Tainted Grail is amazing if anyone needs something with a good Elder Scrolls kind of game in a setting that’s a mix of Arthurian legend and Lovecraftian horror.
- Comment on Meta patented an AI that lets you keep posting after you die 1 week ago:
It’s alright. I don’t believe it was all that bad. But I never really tried or cared, so it was 100% low effort haha
- Comment on OpenAI has deleted the word ‘safely’ from its mission – and its new structure is a test for whether AI serves society or shareholders 1 week ago:
Oh what a cool take!
I always liked to think of the Borg as being almost more like an emergent property of a certain level and type of organic/inorganic interfacing.
So it’s not that one species was the Borg, all are in potentia. And every time a species commits the same error or reaches the correct level of “perfection”, they find themselves in a universe where they were already existent.
Like a small hive self-creates, opens its mental ears and is already subsumed into the greater Borg whose mind it finds.
I like that it adds almost a whole new level of arrogance to their statement, “Resistance is futile.” They believe it not only because they are about to physically assimilate you, but because every advance you make brings you potentially closer to being Borg through your own missteps.

No one gave a shit about my shitty low effort shit while alive. Who the fuck wants a slop version of me to be disappointed in as well?
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 2 weeks ago:
Sound should be mono, or stereo, not 5.1 surround, and it should be mixed and compressed for such.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
As just a random guy, I might conflate their kindness for interest because I get so little attention and positive reinforcement. No one is there telling us we are beautiful or talented or smart or whatever with any frequency, even if you have these qualities.
Your full attention already feels like more than a kindness. And the additional, actual, kindness can be taken for interest because of the paucity of people interested in “random guy”.
I don’t think women are wholly wrong for getting this type of attitude. It has to be frustrating and draining constantly fending off suitors when you just wanted a normal nice chat or something.
Just thought I’d share my older man perspective.
- Comment on Discord Alternatives, Ranked 2 weeks ago:
I also want this suite of things. I stream movies to friends, share games I’m playing…
These are core features to me now in a robust chat client

I feel the same about PeerTube. And the fact it is a defederated network with opt in to federation is a bad model IMO. There’s no way for a creator to get paid, either AFAIK.
I tried it out. First sign up, I was shuttled to an instance federated with only two other instances. Second sign up, I found what looked like an active instance but there still is just a lack of content. I’m not sure how to fix any of its issues as I see them. I’d love an actual YouTube competitor

Installing graphene was not like flashing a ROM ten years ago. You just follow the simple steps on the web installer.
- Comment on But think of the landlords! 4 weeks ago:
I hate our society’s fixation with ugly utilitarianism. We could be making beautiful things for all of us
- Comment on How do you fight doomerism/pessimism in these trying times? 4 weeks ago:
There likely already was a lot of fuckery in 2024
- Comment on Threads edges out X in daily mobile users, new data shows 5 weeks ago:
Wonder how much is just bots
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Anyone that gets little attention will likely be easier to get with because they’re so unused to anything like it.
It’s overwhelming and intoxicating to suddenly seemingly be the center of someone else’s world and desires when you never experience anything like it in your day to day life. Or maybe ever.
It’s like not knowing you’ve been living in a desert your whole life and it suddenly starts to rain and you realize you’re not a cactus, you’re a willow tree and you need rain to live.

The red flag is at least, “they have so much privilege in our society they can ignore politics”, if not what you stated

Lmfao at the super salty person.
As an American, I find all of these criticisms largely true and things I also find annoying about us and our culture.

- Comment on Survey reveals most people are holding onto their phones for a long time, and it makes sense 2 months ago:
They’re the most incremental upgrades ever now, with very little innovation outside the foldable space.
I’m going to use this Pixel 8a until it drops dead. I’m not sure how other people feel, but smart phones have largely plateaued to me. It feels more like my PC. Like I only upgrade when something fries or I can no longer run the latest applications I need.
