  • Yeah being in power will moderate Hi... Trump!

  • I have family very seriously investigating citizenship to another country via ancestry.

    This is what I'd actually advise most people who realistically are in a position where they can move: Get out. Don't try to right the listing ship, you got more pressing personal issues (I bet). Just move, there are better places than the US, and that's not even difficult to achieve. For all their individual flaws and their own right-wing parties and their rise and all, most non-US western countries at least have a higher standard of living and actual public service such as universal healthcare and shit.

  • Aren't federal judges Article III judges?

    If so, congress can remove them. The same congress that's in republican hands, too.

  • You aren't dehumanizing anyone. Nazis did the dehumanizing themselves, who are you to object to that personal freedom of choice.

    It's also important to keep in mind that intolerance cannot be fought off with tolerance. It's not possible. You have to not tolerate the intolerant.

  • As someone who discovered their love for RPGs with Clouds of Xeen and Darkside of Xeen (M&M4/5), I of course have to disagree with it. 😅

    It is, however, the best HoM&M, IMO.

  • The two Xeen games are still such a fuzzy memory to me. Being able to install them into the same folder was so wtf at the time. 😅

  • Hrm, unlike then. I was thinking whether someone had added that solid-layer-every-X-layers option to the slice. (sadly can't remember the name, and am at work)

  • Was this a ready-to-print file you got from someone? Or one that you sliced yourself?

  • Yes, and it's inherently designed not to be.

    But it also bears repeating that decentralization by itself has no advantage, either.

  • Could even decorate it with a pattern based on an asian symbol commonly found on temples!

  • The only thing worse than code that should be working not working is code where you're sure it won't work, but then it actually works!

  • It sometimes feels as if the medical and scientific knowledge of people who are hardline against animal testing at all is exactly that and only that thinking, yes.

  • Always test in production!

    Extra environments cost money. Testers cost money. Users pay to use your software and test it for free!

  • Mastodon did it to themselves.

    There's a reason Bluesky has a UI that's more or less exactly like old Twitter. It makes for a smooth transfer.

  • That's like the one review site I don't trust, because it's steam users. One of the worst parts of human existence, on a level with 4chan in many regards.

    It can be good for a "vibe". Like if something is mostly negative, might be worth looking into. But for an actual review? That's just not what it is.

  • I mean, I feel it's a misunderstanding of what users actually use social media for.

    Just of top of your head, can you list three reasons they want to join the Fediverse for a "normal" Reddit user? Because I struggle to name one, nevermind three. There's all the technical reasons, ethical stuff, etc. But that's all something that enthusiasts would consider, and it goes against how the vast vast majority of users use social media where the more centralized the better as it multiplicatively expands the pool of content and interactions to have everyone centralized.

    The Fediverse shows this, in fact! Note how resistant users are to spread over instances, in fact being always after centralizing on the bigger ones. But this isn't a bad thing really, as it's simply the nature of social media. Of course far less necessary on federated stuff, but there's also no reason not to (again, from the perspective of someone wanting to use social media, not advocate).

    It's not an easy thing to do to get users here. The place inherently doesn't appeal to those it would need to appeal to.
