Huh, I’m new to Lemmy so I was unaware of this guy before now. Definitely not down with homophobes. Even outside the moral implications of homophobia, its antithetical to the idea of open source software and privacy, which the lemmy.ml instance is all about.
I scrolled through a few weeks of his comment history and didn’t find anything (or missed it), but he posts quite a bit. I’ll be on the lookout now, though. If you have an example, feel free to DM.
I rejected the request because of the “Do not feed the troll” rule.
The majority of the people weren’t trolling in my eyes. They were upset because you said a game looked terrible without elaborating. You could have just kept that to yourself and said “not my cup of tea” but you ellicited a reaction, seemingly on purpose. And now you’re acting like the victim in the situation and doubling down. That, in my mind, is the definition of troll behavior. Which at least you admit I guess.
Troll or not, I can see this discussion is going nowhere. So I’m just gonna mute this and move on.
I hope there’s a day when this shit is used as evidence
Bold of you to assume that it ever did.
Definitely interested in trying this one out. Haven’t dove into the FOSS games category yet
The person you’re replying to was just making a comment that alludes to the fact that people who like this genre get addicted to other games. It was a light-hearted comment and you’re the one who got negative first. People asked you to elaborate on your negativity and you got defensive. Now you’re doubling down on that defensiveness. I get it. I’ve been there. But come on, man. I think everyone’s got the same interests in mind here.
That’s a good point. I guess I just read the title and everyone else’s comments saying stuff like “Python” and “TypeScript”
Kinda surprised that no one has mentioned sign language. I feel that it’s use cases expand outside the original intent, especially if other people in your circle understand it.
Not to mention the normalization of such a connection between pro-palestine and “terrorism”. People who are out of the loop will read the headline and assume that the person arrested for terrorism is guilty. They’ll start to associate the pro-Palestinian viewpoint with terrorism if enough arrests like these make it into headlines.
Hadn’t heard of that one. Looks nice! Do you know if there is a built-in way (even if it’s through a plugin) to sync your content across devices? I didn’t see anything on their homepage about it.
Definitely feel ya there. I highly recommend Obsidian or Joplin. Not sure what features you’re looking for, but I’ve found Obsidian refreshingly simple. Aso nice knowing that it’s just markdown files on my device that can’t be sold as data.
How much do you want to bet that she gets blamed for Harris losing Michigan on Tuesday? Hell, they’ll probably blame the whole election loss on her if Trump wins. I can’t think of a braver politician in congress right now and yet she’s treated like dogshit.
I believe it’s even more bleak than that. My theory/prediction:
Once these companies manage to make game streaming a reality, my guess is that they will scale back their consumer GPU divisions without hesitation. The goal is for us to ultimately own nothing. Software is already leased to us (you don’t technically own the games in your steam or epic library). The end game is for hardware to be that way as well.Until then, we’re going to see most people priced out of consumer hardware.
If game streaming services become a reality (I’m talking about a situation where latency and data transfer are less of an issue), they will be positioned as a revolution in entertainment that deliver high-end gaming performance to the masses. As the technology matures, we will see multiple services take hold. It will be like Netflix/Hulu/prime/peacock/etc. but Blizzard/Steam/Epic/Ubisoft/etc. Essentially we will have to pay the equivalent of a new PC/Console price tag every year to rent hardware.
Ironically, what holds this back in today’s world is the greed and shitty infrastructure that’s offered by US ISPs.
I think this is a pretty obtuse take. Users obviously want their mouse to remain functional when the battery dies. It’s not a wireless vs wired mouse debate.
Yep, anyone who is celebrating this is shortsighted and letting their own nationalistic ideas and jingoism cloud their judgement.
Out of curiosity, what will you be switching to?
Great recommendations. Just an FYI, your second link is broken because the markdown got messed up.
