You might not give a shit but the American elections are going to have a huge impact no matter where you live. It’s world news. And yeah there’s a lot of nonsense news about the US elections but there’s plenty of nonsense news elsewhere too. Why not start a lemmy community specifically about non-US news if you feel that’s lacking?

I think this is exactly what I’d like to change about Lemmy’s culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.

The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself “I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion” The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.

My girlfriend lies on my right arm, so she’s on the right side of the bed and I’m on the left.

Was I a good processor?

No one ever mentions the MSX. Best of the 8 bit generation as far as I’m concerned, scrolling purists be damned.

Shareholders: you doubled your profit last year, so I expect you to do it again this year.

joor rite spelin is stoopit an sos punktution. Pandas be damned.

Haven’t seen it myself but because Lemmy has a relatively small user base it’s fairly easy to just flood it with content and have a significant portion show up on the front page. If you’re seeing a sudden influx of a specific type of meme, my guess is that’s just someone sending a lot of the same kind of content ar once.

Mainly because my Windows license is an OEM one that won’t move to the “new hardware” :/

I mean take the average media literacy of the relatively younger folks on Reddit (atrocious) and then realize that those are incredibly tech savvy compared to FB’s audience.

Much as I love TNG, Babylon 5 > Star Trek, don’t bother trying to change my mind.

If it’s a virus presumably it will return. Keep an eye (or ear) on your fan, especially after a restart.

I was hoping this was the link and I was not disappointed.

Isn’t Balleye on Windows kind of a rootkit? How does that work on Linux? You have to run it as root?

Just wondering, do you feel current lemmy instances are censoring pro-palestinian content?

Of course it’s always fine to start your own too.

The dark pattern is making the shiny button “accept our spying advertising profiling cookies” and the gray one “go through some obtuse ui that takes 5 clicks to refuse being spied on”

This one was Indian apparently. Either way, nothing of value was lost.

Not “can’t comply” but “doesn’t want to comply”. Other than that fully agreed, it is what I wanted.

Man they look awesome but I can’t drop $2k on a laptop. We don’t all have US software engineering salaries ;)

I would say It Depends. I play almost exclusively indy games and yes AAA graphics aren’t what I’m expecting.

But some indy games just look like the dev threw the sprites together in less than half a day and it can be offputting. Dated can be ok, but rushed and butt ugly… Hell I almost skipped Rimworld way back when because the visuals looked so lazy.

The gameplay has to be really freaking fantastic to cover that up. In Rimworld’s case it was.
