The whole point of reversing loneliness is to not go bowling alone. Make a couple friends and go with them. You’ll find you’ve been missing something substantial.

This is missing the point of what I said. It was contextual:

I don’t see much of any room for socialization (where I live, sparse plus I have issues stacked up). It’d even be a hassle to go bowling alone and it’d not be worth the price

I’m not saying it’d be a fix (though in the long-run would likely be better than nothing) but that I don’t see any organic options for me. Especially now that it’s too damn hot to get there via the trail.

I don’t like the idea of needing a corporation to handle it either (heard people complain about meetup), though I just don’t even want to deal with more accounts either.

Blaming alternatives/escapism has always seen like a knee-jerk reaction to me. Similar head-space as when we used to blame TV. Particularly because when I leave the house I don’t see much of any room for socialization (though that’s where I live, sparse plus I have issues stacked up). It’d even be a hassle to go bowling alone and it’d not be worth the price for me either.

Then again, I definitely think there’s a valid argument that this is worse after people begin to consider it a relationship… because at that point they might consider too much close conversation to being unfaithful to their AI.

Not sure what you think I’m arguing, I’m just talking in the context of the loneliness epidemic.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We dont talk about love no more because we are weak bitches.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The royal you.

I was not really talking about family, but that is still a thing. A child may feel unloved because their parent(s) spend too much time working, or because of conditions they are forced to endure. Even if the parents are doing their best.

Needing to “learn” what love is, completely in-line with what I’m saying though. Specifically because having love and finding love are vastly different. Also a whole lot more blocking factors for finding, different situations.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We dont talk about love no more because we are weak bitches.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I mean, that sounds like saying we forgot the power of money or friendship. I think we know, but when we’re talking about any sort of economy it’s easy to see it as a game that you aren’t properly prepared to play.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We dont talk about love no more because we are weak bitches.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
A maid just doesn’t make sense for fellas such as myself in this economy, Neil. I’ve been known to cook a succulent meal or two.

Don’t speak of love, I’ve heard that word before.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We dont talk about love no more because we are weak bitches.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
It’s hard to make that change

When life and love turns strange… and old.

To give a love, you gotta live a love.

To live a love, you gotta be “part of”

I don’t like vinegary too much (or smoke/fermented flavor etc), I like El Yucateco Red*.

Though it is a bit expensive for a tiny bottle. So I made a few big bottles trying my own spin* from garden habaneros (orange) and liked how it turned out.

* I see the key ingredients: distilled white vinegar, citric acid, xantham gum
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I waited a long while to try it

look inside

Not sure if you’re using some non-proprietary driver or what, but I’m not worried about switching over. Maybe nice with AMD GPU, unlikely for me though.

I don’t want GNOME or Plasma (I’ve had issues with Plasma on X11 when I tried it) so that could be it, too.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

Just grep the source for “wayland” and you’ll see what I mean.

and

# Refuse to build in Arch package environments

MATCHES “.*archlinux.*”)

Not sure if there is more to this, but it seems like it screws over X11 users for no reason (I’m still using a 1050Ti).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨preferences⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, though I would say there is no need for the extra step of ATI.

Specifically due to value, though Ryzen was a better value when it started (pricing more Intel-like as soon as Ryzen became successful). Well… a Ryzen APU might still be better value at ultra-low-end compared to a new GPU, though probably better off with a used Polaris GPU.

To me it just seems like GPUs are still stagnated due to cryptomining, though gaming and raytracing hype probably doesn’t help either.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which of theses games should i play?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Isn’t Luanti’s world height way bigger, though? ~62K vs MC’s ~400 are the numbers I see.

I mean I get that’s a different thing, but aside from exploration it determines build height. Also to me it’s a more visible limit, because falling made it obvious how short MC’s maps were.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a alternative platform to roblox for players and gamedevs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The problem for me is that it repeats many of the issues I had with Minecraft, so I don’t really have a good base to start with. Not really interested in LUA either, so there is even less motivation for me to make something from the ground up (I should probably be doing something with Godot instead).

I imagine the benefit for Luanti would be if you want to make a simple grid-based game it should be easy to do so. Trying different games though, it was hit-or-miss for me especially when it just spits you into an empty world (I assume some configuration issue or change with code version).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a alternative platform to roblox for players and gamedevs?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Luanti (formerly Minetest) might be closer to what OP is looking for. Both because LUA and because it’s platform-like.

Ohhh what sad times are these when passing ~~ruffians~~ wizards can corrupt even the most mundane and reasonable wishes. There is a pestilence upon this land, nothing is sacred. Even those who tire of this mortal coil are under considerable physical, mental, and socioeconomic stress in this period in history.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ill start soon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
If it’s not a simple chore, the reason I do this is usually that something needs to change*. I’ve had times in the past where I did do the thing and it was a marginal result (if even that). Just like I’ve had changes result improvement(s) as mentally easy as I expected.

Specifically for any hope for a creative project, I’m not sure what the change(s) needs to be… though it could even be one of many indirectly related things. Doesn’t look like that is changing either way, though.

* and I probably will not be the one to make said initial change

If someone is … “limited enough” for it to be a proper replacement for deep human interaction

That and not going so far that goes past* that point. Even if there would be the slightest benefit**, realism about AI as well as cost (or even hardware need/heat+data of local models) makes it easy to ignore/dismiss.

* depression, isolation, personality disorders etc

“Subscribe to our service!” “No.”

“Why not?” “…I don’t want to.”

“But you have no viable alternative.” “I don’t care.”

“That… doesn’t make any sense!” “Too bad.”
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Doctors of Osteopathy in the US seldom practice Osteopathy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

do you mind sharing the machine?

Atlas Orthogonal Percussion Instrument. Basically it pushes the top vertebra back into alignment based on the precise angle needed.

For some background, the cause is I had whiplash many years ago. I also likely have EDS (a potential factor for the low-speed whiplash) so it’s possible even if this machine has some basis it might not be a reliable fix for me.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK Doctors of Osteopathy in the US seldom practice Osteopathy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That’s not a contradiction, the fact that that is the page you get from searching the term is exactly their point.

Looking at the page Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, it even seems to point to both having the same origin (1874 USA) and later changing:

Osteopathic medicine (as defined and regulated in the United States) emerged historically from the quasi-medical practice of osteopathy, but has become a distinct and proper medical profession.

Be it resolved, that the American Osteopathic Association institute a policy, both officially in our publications and individually on a conversational basis, to use the terms osteopathic medicine in place of the word osteopathy and osteopathic physician and surgeon in place of osteopath; the words osteopathy and osteopath being reserved for historical, sentimental, and informal discussions only

Though also…

DO schools provide an additional 300–500 hours in the study of hands-on manual medicine and the body’s musculoskeletal system, which is referred to as osteopathic manipulative medicine (OMM). Osteopathic manipulation is a pseudoscience.

and from the related sources:

Mark Crislip also pointed out that DOs are using less and less osteopathic manipulation in their practice. This is a good thing, and hopefully it will eventually completely fade away. Essentially we need to distinguish between osteopathic medicine, which is mostly equivalent to standard medicine, and osteopathic manipulation, which is pure pseudoscience akin to straight chiropractic.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is happening on Programming. Dev instance?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t think I have any federation issues, but yeah I don’t get replies probably because what I post is too niche. On 3 posts so far at least (~8 upvotes) in 3 different communities (probably a few more back when kbin still worked too).
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When an instance like lemm.ee shuts down, what happens to the posts and comments?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
For a practical test, search for kbin.social (and then ctrl+f for it also to get the direct results). Or, just look at a community: !kbinMeta@kbin.social

The only thing that appears missing is the avatars. Though I assume this content is doomed in the long-run when it comes to new instances, as I doubt re-federation (3rd-party federation) is a thing. Unless of course, someone manually crossposts said content.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Programmer paradigm shift... Have YOU made the shift??? 🫵⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
I feel it’s more true for Nim-lang. No dealing with pointers (it’s possible, just not a normal thing like int**, Nim has newer memory management options like arc/orc). There’s also stuff like for i in 0…9 (and ranges like that have more options/uses too)

I mean I guess there is overlap (both languages have UFCS and interop). So it might come down to syntax or specific implementation. Though I imagine if you like the braces style, there are other options to look at like Zig (or Rust, there is complexity but also popularity).

I know there is some difficulty when it comes to a language being niche (at least when lacking knowledge), and that’s certainly true for me with Nim.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
On the other hand: anything anti-consumer like this (like bricking game consoles) has potential to backfire in a myriad of ways when the inevitable exploits are found.

Ransomware customers, target people you don’t like (perhaps even by employees), or simply brick devices to cause returns and/or drive up customer support costs, or just cause a scandal to tarnish the brand itself.

The closer to a real brick it is (rather than just a soft lockout), the more potential there is for disaster.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WTF is a rural town in the USA?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
On paper sure they are villages, but I think a US village and one from elsewhere would likely feel drastically different. Lacking actual community (see Bowling Alone), or just look at the decay of it: all of the things that the village lost (shops, train station, industry etc) and what it still has(franchise dollar store, gas station etc).

It could just be coincidence, though “retirement village” is a term (also ecovillages) so maybe not. Aside from decay, I’d imagine the common perspective of blink-and-you’ll-miss-it (unless you stop for gas/maybe breakfast) probably doesn’t help with image either.
