I would say the majority of Lemmy users are more tech savvy than the general population.
Techy people in general dislike Edge, because of a few reasons, (embedded browser, Microsoft affiliation, their injection of ads while looking at other browsers, ect)
A post that praises Edge in the title, true or not, reads as AstroTurfing from a major corporation for a product most Lemmy users don't like.
It's just the wrong audience, even if the post is true and relevant.
On windows at least, Arma 3 uses battleye which is absolutely kernel level anticheat. It may be different on a Linux install, but I wouldn't expect it.
Oh there is absolutely a group that prints their own, and before that there were re-molds that were made based on the real ones.
From what I understand, (friends play) they aren't allowed in "official" sponsored matches, so if you really want to compete big you have to have real armies. But also they have printed one of those $800 models because most people don't have the cash to throw at stuff like that.
So I'm sure there are some diehard people that only think official models should be used but it doesn't seem common.
Websites don't have an actual check for a legit email... That's why they send confirmation links to click. Forms check that it ends with @something.something, sometimes they can add filters to not allow anything other than the 20 most popular domains. Or they can block addresses with less than 3 characters, because nobody real has those.
But most forms you can keyboard smash anything@anything.anything. They just might make a temp account until it's confirmed or something.
What I think is crazy: at your 1 gigabit per second speed, if you use your full speed for only 3 hours you will go over your data limit. For the month.
It's the killdeer! We get returning birds across the road every year. Silly little running cotton balls with rock colored eggs in gravel nests, and they just had babies.
So it's a type of thermobaric weapon. It's composed of magnesium hydride, which holds hydrogen more effectively than pressurized gas tanks, and it releases that hydrogen when detonated by a primer charge. It then ignites all that released hydrogen mixed with air to make a very impressive fireball.
A better name than "non-nuclear hydrogen bomb" exists, but would probably be longer and more specific. Hydride thermobaric bomb maybe.
If you like and want to buy a Tesla for reasons other than supporting Musk or his companies, I'd hear the argument. But there are better choices in vehicles for every reason I can think of, and expensive luxury electric vehicles can be had without it being a Tesla.
I'm with you in spirit if not numbers. My experience with hexbear users led me to blocking the whole instance, and I regularly block people I don't even converse with based on how they treat other users or other topics. If someone has such a bad take on topic A, I don't care about their possible opinions on topic B and C in the future.
I get the argument of echo chamber isolation, but most of the things I'm willing to block people over are also things that I won't be changing my mind about because of a forum post.
