Yay, slavery to Windows, sign me up! Now that we’re getting devices running Linux that can do gaming thanks to Valve and Steam/Proton, the last fucking thing in the world I want to do is stay on Windows. I’ve switched literally all my applications to FOSS - games are the sole remaining reason I’ve stayed on Windows for this long. Come October, I’m switching to Linux 100%.

Perhaps we can bring out the Dildozer.

Lemmy is how Reddit was in 2010. Size is what degrades the experience, the larger Reddit got the more shit it became. I am hopeful that federation will be the secret sauce that saves Lemmy from the same enshittification as it grows.

Going to shows is a hobby of mine, I go to a lot of shows. But there is only one artist who I will never miss when he comes to town and it’s Weird Al.

I cannot express strongly enough to anyone reading this who has never seen Al: do it! It’s an elaborate comedy show, you don’t have to know a single song to enjoy it. It’s always drop-dead hilarious and worth twice whatever you pay for it.

Perhaps with the notable exception of his “Ridiculously Self-Indulgent, Ill-Advised Vanity Tours” (there have been two so far, iirc) which are definitely more for the hardcore fans, though still funny as hell.

I never used RIF but I came over at the same time due to the fuckery over mods. I quit all my mod positions that day too, no more working for Reddit for free.

Sadly true, but take heart. These people have stupid opinions about non-communicable things too. So many stupid opinions.

Ah, OK yeah that makes sense.

Ironically, the older you get, the better video games are for you, flexing your memory and hand-eye coordination.

I don’t understand why it’s difficult to see the appeal. To me it’s just like watching TV, but you can participate.

Edit: I was never big on racing games but boy I loved Excite Truck on Wii back in the day.

Every time I interact on reddit, I’m reminded about how superior my experience is every day on Lemmy. So I guess what I’m saying is “I don’t see it.” Oh, there are some assholes, alright - but they’re the exception, not the rule.

Also, the relative lack of bots. Reddit is so overrun with bots that in any mainstream sub a genuine opinion cannot help but be drowned in a sea of corporate sponsored bullshit.

Is it common for CCTV to track and follow all planes as they take off like the camera in this video seems to be?

I’m not seeing how this explains why Alito and Thomas would vote for it? Seems like they’d love the idea for the FBI to be able to make “honest mistakes.” Perhaps they’re going to leverage this to put Biden’s dessicated husk in jail or something idfk?

Edit: I’m trying to say this makes no sense for these two ghouls to be on this side of the effort, so I’m cynically asking what’s the shadow agenda.

This is a way for the monied class to deflect criticism about the country’s various failures to improve the situation for their citizens. Like healthcare, when you suggest that you want to do it like they do it in, say… Scandinavia, you always get a wave of a hand and a vaguely worded “yes well, this country is just too big for that. <insert country here> can only get away with that because of their tiny, homogenous population.”

Anybody with an inside track on this story that can explain this? A unanimous decision by this SCOTUS is rare, particularly one that would benefit a minority family terrorized by government goons. I would think Thomas and Alito would be positively salivating at the idea.

Meanwhile, eggs are still $8 no longer available for purchase and gas is still upwards of $4.

No, you’re correct, most articles of this type define fertility as “births/women” - whether the outcome is by choice or not. However, there is also a decline in what we might refer to as biological fertility (or “fecundity”).

I’m gonna say Cruella. I’m sure lots of people always thought it was gonna be great, but not me. I absolutely expected it to be mediocre at best and I was so wrong. It’s now one of my favorite movies.

So lemmy.ca and piefed.ca have different feeds altogether when I view them, are they two separate things then? I’m not really clear on how communicating freely between them works. I understand that’s how the Fediverse supposedly works, but I have a Mastodon account and I haven’t sorted out any way to post on/read lemmy content with it, so I’m not sure what the integration actually means in practical application? Maybe someone could help me understand.

The US says it’s 20, and in their new capacity as an official mouthpiece for the government of Russia, you can be sure that means it’s 40. Maybe more.

My first thought: This is theater.

Yeah I just can’t see any other explanation. It’s too sudden, too all-encompassing - too quickly. It’s artificial.

Nah, Kavanaugh said he wants them to take one up, this isn’t the right one to suit him apparently. They just need one more vote to take one up.
