Glad I got out when I did

Small dick energy

I'm pretty far left, but I wouldn't say "liberal", more like "this hexbear place seems pretty good"

As a lemmy.ml account holder... I'm a bit out of the loop. I'm not tied to any single instance and can move to a new one (any recommendations?), but what does ml do that's bad? Honest question, promise, I don't follow this stuff very much

Spirit isn't that bad, as long as you know what you're getting into. Frontier, on the other hand...

Good

People tend to forget the full saying, so just for posterity:

A few bad apples ruin the bunch

I had been a Humble Monthly subscriber since they first started it. 6 months ago my husband and I both canceled our subscriptions. Used to be some really good bundles, but now it's just shovelware and DLC coupons.

Which is ironic considering at this point Israel has most likely killed more innocent civilians than Hamas ever did

If 99% of the "wood" they used was lumber and not laminated compressed sawdust and cardboard, that would make sense

Hosted my own, was basically trying to move a large group off telegram and onto my own servers.

I did use Mjolnir for a while, but that was a hassle in and of itself as well. Nothing was intuitive.

Speed was a big thing. Switching channels could take a few seconds to over a minute to load, on good hardware.

The biggest issue, and a huge glaring oversight imo, is that users can create their own channels, encrypt them, and instance owners have no way to know what goes on in there. Some of the channel names alone were enough to make your skin crawl.

Oh, and you want to ban somebody? Cool, just ban them individually from every channel, because there is no global instance-wide ban. Moderation is horrendous.

It's an unpopular opinion but I completely agree. I've tried Matrix, not only could I not get more than 2% of my community to try it, but it's horribly unintuitive and limited for server owners. Shut it down after a few months.

I have a rocket chat server going now, some similar issues, but at least it has more control than Matrix. Still only a fraction of my Discord and Telegram user base has joined, but it's similar enough that people are at least willing to try.

FOSS alone is not enough, the wider public doesn't care, they just want something easy and convenient.

Interesting main mechanic, good storytelling, but once you finish it, that's pretty much it.

Maaaaaaybe replaying the first room you start in with all the upgrades, since you can see more clearly, but that's it.

Prices can vary wildly depending on how simple or advanced you go. A classic, tried-and-true Ender 3 can be found for $100 in some places, and something like a Bambu X1 Carbon can go for $1,400.

If you're just starting out and don't want to invest most of your free time to tweaking and maintaining a bare ones printer, look into something like the Bambu P1P. Not top end, definitely not low end, and does a lot of the tedium for you so you can go right into enjoying 3D printing.

Same, I was a "green badge" among all the "blue badge" direct hires

Displates and 3D printed art for me.

A lot of people tend to forget, comparing SC's timeline of development to other AAA games doesn't work when those games are pushed out early, rushed to the finish line by publishers who don't care about polish, only sales numbers, and are fine with compromise at every level.

Chris Roberts doesn't do compromise. Every system in SC is created for hyper realism, down to working hydraulics and gears for the moving parts of ships. He wants everything to be perfect, and he'll call it done when he's happy with it.

And like you said, it's technically playable right now. I've never before been part of an alpha development, able to make posts about bugs that actually get read, commented on, and fixed by the dev team. Most game "betas" are just a 3 day early-access where nothing will actually change.

The game is hyped up so much because we see the potential, enjoy playing what we can, and love having a say in it's development.

It's more gameplay than they've shown in the past decade, they've been very tight lipped with anything to date

A lot of services have stopped accepting + addresses as valid, or even stripping them before saving. So at least for a while, - addresses could be more useful
