  yes, if for no other reason than that they’re tricking you into thinking they’re more fun than they are. you can have more fun playing other games with actual mechanic designs

  it was so blatantly naked, too. we had to cordon trump from power, vote the republicans into irrelevance, and then launch a progressive political movement. now trump has near infinite power, voting may never happen again, and our progressive movement has to operate in an environment where participation may legitimately get you killed.

  this is why accelerationism doesn’t work. does chuck schumer seem like he’s learned his lesson to you? have you actually punished the democrats for running to far right? or have you punished uninformed voters and yourself for not knowing how horrifically bad donald trump is?

  the elites have always, and always had enough access to protect them. and running mutual aid networks is not somehow easier when everyone is dependant on them rather than just some.

  i swear to god they used to work better. modern ones either send your cursor flying off the screen with a gentle nudge, or they barely move at all. it used to be people would hold onto the nipple nubs for extended times because they preferred the precision of them over touchpads. as touchpads have gotten better, nipple nubs have gotten worse. i’d probably point to 2015 when things all went wrong. i don’t know if the manufatcurers switched to a new sensor because it was cheaper or if the software / firmware / drivers that make touchpads good also make nipple nubs horrible

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  during the first big migration to lemmy a lot of folks were splitting between discord and here, and a really common refrain was “anything but old school forums” and i absolutely did not and do not get this attitude. old school forums were great! the discussions were always super relevant because everyone was there to discuss whatever specific thing everyone had signed up for, and the people posting were always super reliable, knowledge wise, because, again, it was a dedicated place for discussing something specific, and the frequently asked questions would always end up in a really good wiki. sometimes i wonder if people had bad experiences on those forums because they’re much more focused. like on reddit everyone would complain about the arch forums on r/arch, but none of what they said matched the actual tone of the arch forums. it made me think they posted short one liner questions as thread starters instead of giving a full breakdown of the error they were seeing, what they did to troubleshoot the problem, and what errors had come about during that process.

  overall, i think we’ve had a shift in the architecture of the internet thanks to general purpose discussion sites like twitter and reddit. before, the internet was cathedrals filled with texts related to their specific topic. everything on a sportster related forum was going to be about the maintenance and modification of sportsters. maybe there was a subsection where people could talk about their other motorcycles, but that was more of a social lounge than anything, like the equivalent of the fellowship hall in my cathedral analogy.

  after reddit and twitter took over those scenes, the internet became a mall. unfocused, impersonal, and only meant to pipeline you into purchasing products. none of the people up front are very knowledgeable because you don’t need to be knowledgeable to make sales, you need to be attention getting. especially when what’s for sale is disposable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Porn, Now Skin Cream? ‘Age Verification’ Bills Are Out of Control.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  your understanding of what the proposed header solution is is way off base. “protecting the kids” isn’t about keeping adults from interacting with kids in online forums, it’s about keeping the kids from accidentally seeing porn (really it’s about making the lives of sex workers more dangerous). think of it like a tv v-chip but for the internet, not as a nightclub bouncer creating two different online communities and making sure they don’t interact with eachother

  of the gogs family tree it’s my middle favorite.

  1. forgejo
  2. gitea
  3. gogs

  forgejo gets the edge because of federation. gitea’s corporate situation is less than ideal. gogs simply doesn’t have the features to be a complete solution

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was not aware of that! Hopefully it encourages drivebys!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree and also don’t at the same time. It’s coming from a genuine place of you get more driveby contributions on Github than you do Gitlab or Codeberg, but at the same time, people will ultimately go where the projects are, and I think the more open source code we host on Codeberg the more users we’ll get on Codeberg, and the more Codeberg users we get the more driveby contributions projects will get on Codeberg. Like I get where an individual project is coming from preferring Github over Codeberg, BUT where we are currently where everyone is preferring Github over codeberg is ultimately just us strangling ourselves. I think when Microsoft bought GitHub and a lot of projects moved to Codeberg, and then again when Microsoft started pushing Copilot hard… IDK, I guess what I’m getting at is WHAT IS THE HOLD UP PEOPLE! Move your projects to Codeberg! And when you’re looking for solutions to problems you’re having, look on Codeberg first. For one thing, it’s actually lowkey nicer to use at this point, and it does have enough traction that you should get enough driveby contributions to be worth your while

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  (i agree entirely, but i have to accept a lot of people just go wherever the most users are)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Archivists Recreate Pre-Trump CDC Website, Are Hosting It in Europe⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  if that happens, people should migrate to gitlab or forgejo. gitlab is a Ukrainian company, and forgejo development is primarily driven by Codeberg in Germany.
