• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen two sides to it.

  Side 1: “boo hoo nobody will fuck me because I don’t think other people should have rights”

  Side 2: not having strong friendships/relationships because our society is built around capitalism, cars, and social media (this obviously applies across genders, side therefore is a generalized loneliness epidemic, not a male gendered one)

  In my mind only the second side is worth listening to.

  In my experience, you have to be incredibly selective with what you watch. The entirety of what I watch on there is makerspace type crafts, and the occasional video game, with ideally the least emotional commentary possible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨go to sleep⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m on hour 5 of a prod deployment disaster that started at the crack of dawn.

  I agree, I need some sleep, and to not be doing this. We were meant to eat fruit out of trees, not debug config diarrhea.

  Pepcorn!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I totally missed the point when PeerTube got so good⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My experience hasn’t been as smooth. The global search seems dependent on instances, some are better than others. And playback across instances is hit or miss.

  With that said, usage entirely local to the instance is flawless and speedy, which is nice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if it’s possible to take older panels and apply this technique on a larger scale to upgrade them.

  I’ve had a rough week :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the universe about to have a little minty b⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That would require data to be saved.

  If any such thing happened, it would be seemless.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the universe about to have a little minty b⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope

  It could have happened a dozen times already.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the universe about to have a little minty b⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If your data is in memory only, crashing will revert to the latest save, which could be forever ago.

  Horrifying, I love it.

  It could definitely use a cover for the gears though. It’d be kinda gross to get the lube on your hands using this thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spicy one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m struggling to keep my hype in check. I’ve resolved to the occasional glace at their git log and dev updates channel.

  Most of it is pretty slow, but in whole it is exciting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spicy one⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The nostalgia for the Kerbin map is going be crazy if KSA takes off and fills the void for the next decade or so.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom said basically the same thing, putting a date of 2 years on anyone who got the vaccine. Here we are way past that mark.

  She’s still a lunatic, and I’ve been low contact with her for months now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you were to launch a rocketship parallel to the earth, on wheels, how big would the ramp have to be to get it into space?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re going fast enough for a ramp to send you into space, you’re already going sufficiently fast to have a set of wings to carry you the majority of the altitude you need to achieve. And at that point, you’re trying to make a SSTO space plane. But those aren’t currently viable with existing technology due to inefficiencies in current rocket designs.

  Earth is big, with a very deep gravity well. It’s not well suited for fully self powered space planes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finland warms up the world’s largest sand battery, and the economics look appealing⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s hard to get any cheaper than the crushed soapstone now housed inside an insulated silo in the small town of Pornainen. The soapstone was basically trash — discarded from a Finnish fireplace maker.

  Hell yeah. I’m glad that this works with that kind of sand, and is being done without the kind were running out of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been a good couple of years⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Never used RiF, but I left at the same time. The writing was on the wall.

  Becoming a lobbyist doesn’t sound like leaving politics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because of the networking effect, people don’t leave.

  Federation is strong specifically because of how it gets around the networking effect. You don’t need a .world account to see content from it. That doesn’t apply for Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube without shenanigans.

  This notion that everyone’s just going to pick up and leave Lemmy

  You don’t need to leave lemmy. It takes 10 minutes to set up a new account somewhere else, with zero downsides.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Even Lemmy isn’t magically immune. If the admins of .world got handed checks for a couple million dollars in exchange for the rights to operate the servers, what would discourage them from cashing out?

  Nothing, but it would be far less disastrous than say some billionaire buying the town square of the internet.

  Because it’s federated, everyone can just leave. There is nothing stopping people from ditching .world and moving on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is open source. But from what I can tell the accounts are still hosted centrally, and it isnt federated in any way, which isn’t great.

  Still a step up from Discord though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discord unveils Discord Orbs, a new in-app currency that users can earn by completing Quests, which reward participants who interact with ads⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. I just hope my friend group and by some extension the gaming community chooses something that won’t fall into the same pitfal of closed source for profit organizations.

  I hope the transition is towards matrix or something like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbh this one is a pretty easy one to undo at least. Just give them stupid OP magic items and have the BBEG wonder into camp unarmed.

  So this one esentially boils down to “you only play once and your friends are pissed”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Had this happen with one dude in college. I had no clue why he joined at all. He spent every session on his phone held 6 inches from his face, and always had to be told when it was his turn in combat, just for him to have no clue who to attack.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's play this game again⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That seems oddly specific and personal.
