One of the creatures I’m most worried about meeting camping or hiking is a moose. If they had a moose’s temperament they would have been one of the most terrifying things to walk the earth. They would also probably be getting hammered off fermented prehistoric fruit

- Comment on What would you want to see this site do differently from Reddit? 2 weeks ago:
Its not good against individuals, but it keeps this from becoming a space where they can congregate and try to attract people in the pipeline already.
Of course people aren’t automatons, but people can and do often unconsciously mirror and internalize things they see as normal in a community. Defederation does do a good job of keeping the bulk of Lemmy from being a Nazi bar, so that will happen less here. Its not a perfect solution, but its better than reddit in that regard.
I don’t know why you keep bringing up tankies, you do realize they founded the site right? I don’t think that gives them any special right to be here, but its also hard to imagine Lemmy without tankies. Its a part of what makes the space unattractive to fascists, and I’m not going to pretend I don’t enjoy seeing Hexbears tear their posts into pieces. I think the numbers of tankies here is a lot lower than some users would have you believe, and the main instances are largely defederated or default blocks. I’m fairly content with how that is working out.
As for the rest, you won’t be able to debate fascism into the ground. Fascists have to be crushed through collective action. People differ on what that would look like, in my ideal we would band together march through the streets and dismantle the engines of war that fascists rely on. Burn the factories, abolish their institutions, and set about the work of preparing the world for climate disasters. They’re not going to fall over and stop being fascists because of perfect inescapable logic. They’re going to stop being fascists when the tools they would use to oppress us both physical and cultural are broken and they see they cannot win. Your debate tactics will have a place breaking their cultural tools, but it has to be accompanied by a large enough unified front to make fighting back infeasible, and the removal of avenues for them to retake control by physical destruction of weapons, weapons manufacturing, and vehicles of war including those used by the police.

What fascists? They’re rarely here.
Yeah, that was my point when I said it was already in a better situation than Reddit with defederation. They’re rarely here because they get quickly defederated. It’s part of why I’ve stayed.
Tankies, too? They’re already here.
Yeah and they’re also mostly defederated too

I want Lemmy to do a better job than reddit at keeping fascists from being free to spread their poison. Lemmy is already better at this with defederation, but its something to keep an eye on always.
I think it would be cool if Lemmy were a bit bigger than it is now. Enough of a population to keep niche communities moving would be great, but Lemmy at its current size is a nice escape from a lot of the political landscape you see on Reddit or Twitter.

- Comment on Are Memoirs and Autobiographies partly fictional? How the f do people remember so much detail? 3 weeks ago:
My understanding is that a lot of memoirs are ghost written, so rarely actually authored by the person they are about. They interview people and then most likely invent detail to fill in the rest. That or they find actual photos of events or things and build out the detail that way. If you have a picture of an event and can see the decorations you can probably guess or imagine the smell. Likewise if family members have selfies or things like that you can fill in their outfits from there

A cottage industry of recovering neighbors who have fallen asleep on their way home and returning them to their beds in exchange for a ‘finders’ fee might develop.

Police involvement may help get him to back off, but be prepared for cops to ignore or minimize what she’s going through. Many cops are stalkers and abusers themselves. From personal experience having someone else to corroborate can help and also having extensive documentation can help get a PPI. I wish you the best of luck, its really not an easy situation and can escalate quickly.

- Comment on Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader dev Owlcat comes out swinging in support of Stop Killing Games: 'Every player deserves lasting access to what they’ve paid for' 4 months ago:
It hasn’t been the worst on my solo play through, mostly on a group one. There are a variety of issues that are workable, like how you will frequently start combats separated unless your group has the discipline of saints, or how one character will literally never be able to join combat because the terrain is impassable for him and him alone once initiative starts. These things we dealt with, but when combined with hours of lost progress from crashes and desyncs we threw in the towel

I liked this game a lot when I first started playing. Now in the back half of the game its just disappointing. Desyncs, crashes, and uneven balance all over the place. It has its charms but not something I would recommend anymore. Good to see they are on the right side of this though

You’re quite right, I don’t know the number but the US’s rate of people with no leave at all is significant. My original post mostly applies to salaried employees

Hahahaha, automotive is kind of the exception, in the US vacation is an uncommon thing. Generally you’ll get 1 day off for specific federally mandated holidays, and a number of days of paid time off that covers both sick days and vacation probably averaging around 15 days per year.
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 5 months ago:
There are a few different factors. I think the most is that the lifecycle for windows 10 is ending. Microsoft is pushing the upgrade, but 11 has Recall which is essentially AI spyware. Many folks are trying to push Linux instead of upgrading when support is fully cut off
