  This is the biggest flaw with Lemmy at the moment.

  I think I’m on my 4th account . Mods tend to block me befor I block them.

  It’s free real estate and incredibly efficient use of space. If it works, with all the challenges other have outlined - even at a reduced yield - it’ll still pay off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar panels between railway tracks?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes because they never close the lines for maintenance or repairs

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That hurts a little⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm I think GTA 3 , as an engine / open world environment was like a whoa moment from me. Then Modern warfare of course . Recently God Of War and Assasin Creed Odysseys rendition of Ancient Greece is quite spectacular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That hurts a little⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Popularised by The Law of Diminishing Returns.

  Anyway, lawsuit incoming.

  I’m glad she’s safe. You don’t need me to tell you she did the right thing .

  I also think the news media would like to talk to her, especially after this tragedy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  A much happier story would have “I was fired for fleeing a flood but I lived to tell the tell”

  This is heartbreaking

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if you are deliberately missing the point ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Linux is synonymous with open source and freedom and to some extent privacy.

  android is synonymous with Google

  I’m only guessing, but when people ask about a Linux tablet or phone, they actually want the former, rather than the later, even though android is a Linux derivative, as you rightly said.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pamphlet advising on protection against a nuclear attack (1963-1967) UK⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Like many similar government programs, it was thoughtfully designed.

  The biggest risk in any national emergency is panic. As seen recently with Covid and earlier, when a rumour toilet roll supplies running out. Mass panic trigger irrational behaviour en masse which is bad news all round.

  Second thing, and related I suppose, is the fear level of the populace. If the message is That “things will be difficult but good old British common sense will prevail, while the government sorts things out for you”. The government keeps people, voters, on side . Alternatively, the government come under a lot more scrutiny if it’s widely understood to be ‘game over’ if war in not averted.

  So while you cannot rely on these to be truthful or factually accurate, or even designed to keep you alive , you can be reasonably be sure it’s part of a plan.

  In 196 Raymond Briggs wrote a graphic novel , which became a movie - called “when the wind blows” that pretty much nailed this.

  There are clips on YouTube but nothing substantial. If you get chance to see it - do so.

  . This is just gamer rage against a console maker. They’ve all got ea accounts, Ubisoft, blizzard , discord, twitch, YouTube dozens of accounts all over the place .

  But when a console maker does it’s different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Due to AI fakes, the “deep doubt” era is here⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Too true.

  See it here daily. Some Xitter fool gets screen capped saying “world tallest cat measured in Beijing at 6 feet tall”

  … first. 5 comments “wow!” “That’s huge” “he’s taller than me ! “. “So cute “

  The next 5 are like “fuck the chinese and their cat steroids”

  Finally, some hours later, someone observes that it was a line from futurama, 6 years ago” ….but it doesn’t matter now, because everyone has moved on.
