  I just meant that the intention behind my comment was not to attack Wikipedia in general.

  Btw this is not an argument against Wikipedia in any way.

  There’s a lot of misinformation on Wikipedia too, of many different kinds. Some smaller pages exists purely for someone’s PR. I’ve seen blatantly false (but “verifiable”) stuff too but the most common thing is to have pages that are just creative with the truth.

  Also sometimes I’ll notice an article make multiple different claims that all point to the same source and then check the source and realize it is not a valid source for all of those claims, just some.

  And also there’s stuff that gets flagged as verified based on extrapolation of data from a combination of sources. For example: one source says “John Doe facing 1 billion dollars fines if found guilty” and another source says “John Doe was found guilty”, then the article says “John Doe fined 1 billion dollars after being found guilty” as verified, then you go search the web and find no mention of any fines actually being issued following the verdict.

  Too deep into the cult but to actually see him negatively, while seeing their whole life in shambles due to his administration.

  I hate food. It’s hard to explain but it’s kinda like most food triggers my fight or flight response. It takes me a lot of willpower to eat through a regular meal. As a kid I was severely underweight because I was always avoiding food. When I moved out I took the easier approach and started eating only the stuff that was easier to eat (mostly fried and dried stuff, and some ultra processed stuff like chips and cookies). I went from one end of the BMI table to the other in ~5 years.

  No idea why you’re being downvoted, the guy who created Stardew literally had his wife take care of his whole life for him while he was working on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw it, I’m installing Linux⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Try an atomic distro too, if you haven’t yet. It’s a completely different experience from regular Linux - specially the ones that take care of everything for you like UBlue’s.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never understood what it was people did on Twitter. I understand it even less now that it is X.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s quite like reddit, but without threads or subs: just a nearly infinite list of comments made on anything. You only get to see what a comment (tweet) is about when there’s a tag on them or when they are a response to another tweet.

  Twitter’s UX was generally better suited for some stuff like live events where you may want to see other people’s comments but only in real time - a 3 minute old tweet in this context is just useless data.

  I don’t get your point. You could ask the same questions about any other hardware, including Playstation and specially Xbox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to answer Xenogears because of all of its story and storytelling, but the worldbuilding itself is kinda standard, if not for the scope of it. You do end up learning about pretty much everything there is to learn - the world and its history, the characters and what moves them, the politics, the conflicts, the geography, the physics, the religions, the supernatural, the origins of mankind - not to mention a full class on philosophy. And then whatever question you still have left, there’s a book about it in addition to the game.

  And you start with a classic amnesiac character in a small village.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Michael⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My rule for considering it a sport is: anyone should be able to play it if they have everything needed. It’s impossible to be banned from a sport (banned from tournaments is not the same thing) - if you want to play, you play. If you want to make custom rules just for you and your friends, you make them and then play. Nobody can own the rights to a sport (again, not the same as that sport’s tournament). No company can ever stop others from making money with a specific sport.

  If you have any kind of ball you can play soccer. If you have anything that can represent chess pieces, you can play chess. If you have a kart you can have a race…

  So can videogames be considered sport? Perhaps some can, but anything that requires access to a specific company’s private servers is out of the question. I’m not even gonna argue that the game should be open source, but at the very least it should have a way for anyone to spin up their own server for it.

  When you’re thinking 50%, you’re thinking about the content you actually see. But you likely don’t see more than 5% of reddit’s content - the stuff that goes on in all the smaller subreddits.

  15% of the whole site is an absurdly high number.

  If I owned a gold mine filled with easily accessible actual gold veins, I would not spend my days telling others about it and selling them shovels.

  I was like this until last year. Used Linux a lot for work but couldn’t make the jump on my personal computers because there was always some thing or another that was annoying. Then one day i made one more distro change and suddenly I was having the best experience I’ve ever had in any OS. Now I can only hope I can keep riding on this wave for a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who was your first childhood videogame crush?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s on Steam if you want to relive the experience.

  Last time it was mentioned here on Lemmy I was surprised how many other people also thought they were the only one who played it.

  Thanks! And yeah, if it can’t even handle stuff like this properly I don’t think Microsoft will have any luck getting people to use it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft builds on Recall with Gaming Copilot — fails basic privacy tests⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you mind trying it with some random skyrim door puzzle or something like that? I imagine it’s closer to what they expect people would use it for, but I don’t imagine it handling any better.

  The whole thing is specially useless if you consider that people are much less likely to try it on games that are old enough for the AI to have had data about it than on brand new games that they know nothing about.

  I’m Brazilian. For the first time ever, this month I started seeing ads from the US’ tourism department or something. I used to see ads from Brazilian traveling agencies that take people there, never ads directly from the US. I thought it was quite absurd to think anyone would be going there for leisure purposes any time soon, but turns out the idioms school a block from my house is taking people there every year and the 2026 group is apparently larger than usual.

  Is that because we exist within a nut?

  Or something like that, I don’t know. I don’t remember anything from the “the universe in a nutshell” book.

  It was nurses for me. Not necessarily attracted them, but like a third of my matches on dating apps were nurses. And I remember one of them mentioning that it seemed like every other guy she matched with was in IT (at the time I thought it was simply because dating apps were still kinda new around here and IT people were more likely to be trying it)
