  • The gender is tied to the role for me. Male warrior, female assassin, male wizard, female ranger, male anyone with a gun, female thief.

    Its about picking the gender that best fits the vibe of the character. The character is in mind their own person and also never represents me.

    All this doesnt matter since I'm picking a warrior 99% of the time became i hate wizards and sneaky folk.

  • Given the quality of llm responses and the quality of gaming advice on the internet I think copilot will be like getting coaching from the hardest stuck bronze 5 player of all time.

  • The user growth we're seeomg could result in an overwhelming flood of users at anytime. Which is why people should consider supporting the lemmy devs and instance admins either financially or through contributions so that the lemmy software and infrastructure is ready to handle the growth.

  • What does dissociating mean? I see it mentioned everywhere but I don't understand it.

  • Why wouldn't it? Wayland does a lot more. I haven't done any testing but on vibes x11 feels more responsive on my old system

  • I'm so excited for Wayland xfce but my laptop is really old and probably cant run Wayland as well as x11.

  • I disagree. You don't need a company but do do need a form of governance behind a la4ge project. There are plenty of Foss projects that grew large and became a core block of a wide ecosystem without having a company be the sole backer. Off the top of my head http and oauth

  • You're right. I was feeling sad because I was hoping more people would share the values that would lead them to pick a place like this over facebook. I know this place will win in the end I just fear the damage that will be done before global communication is freed from the grips of companies.

  • Its sad that we are so tiny but its also a blessing that we have this corner of the internet to ourselves

  • The shortened version of Nippon is also considered an unusable slur where im from as well since its only ever used with negative intent. Its interesting to read about the different perspectives of this word around the world. Since the word is offensive to some Japanese people I should refrain from using the world online.

  • "All Dams are temporary" but also modern dams have methods to release the sediment. I am not an expert on dams so which is it? Do modern dams solve this problem or will they still be rendered obsolete by this in time?

  • Do Japanese people consider this a slur? To me it seems like one instance of people using a word with negative connotations doesnt make it a slur or our list of slurs would be far greater. In most instances its just an english shortened version of Japanese.

    I looked it up and it seems there is debate over this with mostly Japanese Americans finding the word offensive due to historical context with most others just viewing it as a shortened version of Japanese. (I'm mostly making this comment because Jap is censored in one of my favourite RTS games where the Japanese are a highly used nation and I hate having to use the full word over a 3 letter abv)

  • This in my opinion shouldnt be viewed as a bad thing. If they do then they are joining the fediverse and bringing all their walled garden content over to an open protocol. If this happens we still have the power to choose a server that does not federate with them while their users also have the choice to move to a server that better aligns with their values.

    If a big tech company hosted a server and participated like a good citizen then it should be welcomed but if they federate ads then everyone would criticize them and defederate.

  • The problem with using a bot to post vs posting things you find interesting is that the bot doesn't match the level of interest. But because we have the option to hide bot accounts you can absolutely use bots to populate your community with content and those that dont like it can block the bot or have disabled bot accounts altogether.

  • This is surprising. I thought Valorant was very strict on harassment since it had the biggest female playerbase of any multiplayer comp shooter. To beat dota in toxicity is impressive (however its probably only because no one under 18 plays dota)

  • There isn't many of those so its probably best to just put any you find in bestoflemmy

  • The only problem the fediverse has is content.

    Compare Lemmy to mastodon. Mastodon is 10x the size but Lemmy is 10x more interesting an active. Became people on Lemmy make posts and discuss and joke and fight and its fun and new users can join in easily and add.

  • Beautiful, the photo doesnt even look like it was taken on this planet.

  • ive been using linux for about 4 years now and I still have no idea where the things are kept. Im getting the feel for it slowly like everything flatpak is in a hidden folder .var my solution is to just make a simlink to folders I want to vist and put them in my home folder.

  • Yeah that tracks with his election catch phrase "to big to rig"
