  • If we replace most plastic with a non plastic alternative and would that really be better?

  • I'd have switched years ago if I could get the economy of scale that a restaurant does

  • Do you care about up/down votes?

  • Downvoting for "they're, there, their" gore, mark it NSFL next time sheesh

    But actually though

  • I mean, in a lot of ways the social media takeover is the antithesis to freedom of information. It's all siloed off echo chambers where it used to be free flowing, publicly available, indexable and searchable.

    I still believe in the freedom of information goal more than ever, but fighting for it in the post information era is increasingly difficult (and important)

  • Yeah it's pretty bleak, although there have been some moves towards right to repair in recent years.

    Respecting companies is always a bit fraught though. Even the ones you like are only doing it to profit off of your niche. It's thanks to us that they even have a profitable niche to serve

  • AA is where it's at now. There's still insanely good games coming out, there just not by companies like EA and Activision anymore.

    In some ways I think the good development studios are the same size they've always been, it's just that a new class of mainstream games has risen to profit on the masses. If you ignore those, it's not so bad. At least not until one of the AAA publishers gets their hands on them to ruin the IP and layoff the original devs

  • Moral members of society have an inherent obligation to be activists, for as long as marginalized groups exist.

    That doesn't mean you have to be 'out', but if you're standing by and watching your fellow humans be marginalized when you could be offering help, that is wholly immoral, and frankly you don't deserve the safety that you are enjoying when you won't seek it for your fellow people.

  • That is the way

  • Are anti-Lemmy sentiments being botted?

  • This is my point when it comes to federation stuff. You don't need to understand it at all to use Lemmy. Join and start scrolling just like you would on reddit

  • Are anti-Lemmy sentiments being botted?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's the type of motive I was struggling to find. I could absolutely see that happening.

  • Most of us are on both, because Lemmy still isn't big enough

  • Realistically the solution would be instances moving away from the Lemmy 'brand'. You could more easily direct users to a specific one and fast track newbies past all the fediverse details.

    If we go with the email analogy, people rarely ever search for 'email', they just go to the specific ones they know. Then searching for lemmy gets you to places like join-lemmy.org that cares about the ecosystem, while terms analogous to gmail directs you more to a specific instance.

    And I think this sort of branding model actually more compatible with the idea of decentralization. As a culture, I think we would better serve federation by directly linking and promoting our preferred instances, rather than harping on about federation and the lemmyverse.

  • Are anti-Lemmy sentiments being botted?

    Jump

  • Sure, but the complaints I see are never "I don't see content there that I like", it's always "its too complicated and I can't sign up/see content at all"

    but if you make it to any Lemmy site, you're right there on the home feed instantly, same as reddit.

    So is it really a problem of users not even making it to an instance? Are they really all getting brick-walled by join-lemmy.org, or is something else going on here?

  • If someone is described as "good at something", in your opinion how good is that person at this activity?

    Jump

  • A lot of people have already pointed out that the person saying it is an important detail. If your mom says you're good at python, I'm going to get a very different idea about your skill level compared to your boss saying it.

    Unless you are selling yourself in an interview context, I think it's very poor form to qualify your own skill level. Let the skill speak for itself, it's enough to say that you 'do python'. Saying you're good at something often comes off as braggadocios more than it is informative. If you must give context, it's better to talk about how much experience you have, or other objective metrics

    Qualifiers are too context dependant and no matter where your skill level is at, you wont ever have enough context to know how good you actually are, because you can't know what you don't know.

  • I haven't run into any limitations of the file system and I hardly even know what pacman is. And I haven't felt 'controlled' by Valve, certainly not to the extent of a console or even Windows/Mac. I can sudo whatever I want. I'm sure you have a use case, but I'm still just not seeing it.

    Are their proton versions just proton GE? To what extent does it actually run better?
