- Comment on Are there any Lemmy/Mbin instances by women for women? 1 week ago:
There’s a Midwest focused instance and I wouldn’t call that division. They’re not trying to exclude East and west coasters. They don’t hate southerners. It’s just similar people gathering to talk about the things they have in common, which in this instance are midwesterner things. It’s the same for women. It’d be nice to have a place to talk about things that women have in common and experience that men don’t. If it was anything like the 2XChromosomes subreddit then men wouldn’t be banned, and plenty of men comment, it’s just that the topic of conversation focuses on women and women’s experiences. Having a place for people, especially women, to talk about women’s issues and experiences isn’t anymore divisive than having a midwestern instance or a European instance. And it would be a good place for men to look into to learn more about what life is like as a woman. If men feel they don’t have a place to talk about men’s problems, then they should also make an instance specifically for talking about men’s experiences
- Comment on Lemmy.World no longer participates in this community 1 week ago:
So, I’ll be honest, I don’t understand most of the technical stuff about lemmy. I just know it’s open source, no ads/corpos, and all the individual lemmys can interact with each other like how emails can send emails between gmail and yahoo. But what does defederate actually mean? Like how does it change things? Does it mean that people with the @lemmy.one can’t see the privacy instance anymore? And they have to change their account?
- Comment on A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it 1 week ago:
Thank you! This helps a lot bc I was worried I’d have to become a Linux master just to use one of these emulators
- Comment on A retro gaming handheld console has been amazing for me and I want to recommend it 1 week ago:
I’ve been seriously considering getting the anbernic sp but I know nothing about Linux (interested in Linux, hence being here, but not a tech person so), and very little about emulation honestly. Do you have any recommendations or advice for beginners? I’ve tried reading guides that say they’re for beginners but then they talk about knulli and stuff and I get real confused
- Comment on How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs? 2 weeks ago:
Right? Like I’d LOVE to be proven wrong and for this to actually help our economy and the middle class. It’s just that I’m realistic and can see that this is much more likely to lead us to a recession instead
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 2 weeks ago:
The drive thru pharmacy I go to just has like a shelf thingy they can lift and push down. Not one of those cool tubes :(
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 2 weeks ago:
Oh shit you’re right. I think I vaguely remember banks having those when I was really young. I mostly remember the suckers they’d give us tho. Fuck those things are cool tho. We should bring them back
- Comment on Why is there steam coming out of the streets in New York 2 weeks ago:
Wait those pneumatic tube things are real?? I always thought it was like 1960s sci-fi. Like what they thought the future would be like
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
Based on how the first attempt went, I feel like “how easy it will be” isn’t going to be too much of a roadblock either
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but not even the sexy kind of vampire
- Comment on Hamster 3 weeks ago:
The hamster just sitting there doesn’t surprise me. The thing that I question is whether they picked him up at all to try and feed him or see if he was okay. Because surely if they picked him up then he would’ve perked up and moved around? Or at least moved and ate a bit?
- Comment on Assassin’s Creed Shadows devs roast Elon Musk amid feud with Hasan 4 weeks ago:
What’s night media? Also what do you mean he doesn’t put his money where his mouth is? Does he donate to Trump or something?
- Comment on Assassin’s Creed Shadows devs roast Elon Musk amid feud with Hasan 4 weeks ago:
Not who you responded to, but can you share why you don’t like Hasan? I’ve mostly just seen clips of him talking with AOC and Bernie and when he covered the writer’s strike. I don’t know much about him and his content otherwise so I’m wondering if there’s more I should know?
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 4 weeks ago:
Even if we put aside the poor taste jokes and insults, sharing private conversations like what OP said his friend did is wrong and especially shitty since their purpose was to mock the other person
- Comment on Minecraft is getting a visual overhaul you probably don't need because of all of those mods you've got installed 4 weeks ago:
Apparently you’ll be able to toggle between the new lighting and the old lighting, so hopefully that isn’t a problem
