  • Quite the dilemma.

    Promote the fediverse but give Reddit the traffic it currently desperately needs, or continue boycotting Reddit but don't get any cheeky content.

    I mean, it's clear what we should do, but playing into Reddit's hands and getting some chaos in return would also be fun.

    I'll skip this one, but you all are free to do whatever you like. I'll be watching out for the (hopefully) resulting shitstorm. Go at it! :)

  • Yup, virtual machines usually have a really bad drop in performance. "Usually", because you can reserve a spare graphics card and resources only for use with this one specific machine. But in that case, you might just buy another computer or dual boot (thats what I did while getting used to Linux) instead.

  • when ur os is always sending info in the background.

    Flashback to the Windows 10 launch, when typing anything while the resource manager was open revealed a small spike in internet traffic.

    No clue what actually happened in the background, but it was consistent over multiple friends computers. Very fun.

  • I've played Factorio with the Steam controller some 3 years ago. It worked just fine, so I imagine the steam deck will too.

    The controller support is likely targeted more towards playstation/Xbox controllers, or perhaps for a smoother experience if you dislike touch-as-mouse.

  • Thank you for pointing that out. Yet, in a world where refrigerators are commonplace, and where the grip of the church has lessened, the term "milk" has come to be almost exclusively used for diary. So much in fact, that many find it misleading to use it to describe non-diary products.

    Milk is one of the many words which have changed their definition over the past millenia, albeit, not as drastically as many other words. And we might come to a point where no one uses diary milk, or where milk once again also covers almonds, but this is not yet it, at least not in the EU. And to use it to cover both anyway, will likely push a lot of people away from more plant based alternatives.

  • Pretty sure it's not actually milk when plant based. Like, there's wheat extract, which tastes pretty much identical to skimmed milk and can be used as a substitute, but (as far as I'm aware) you can't advertise it as milk in the EU.

    Which, and I'm sorry, brings me to one of my pet peeves. Don't label plant alternatives as "vegan meat". It's either vegan or meat/diary, not both! What's even the point in making fake meat? To have some chum accidentally buy fake meat, only to find out and become annoyed and resistant towards plant based alternatives?

    Make frigging original ideas. Like "wheat chocolate" where people have no preconceptions, instead of "non-milk milk chocolate that totally tastes the same as real milk chocolate, we swear you won't be disappointed!". And then you taste it, and it's just barely off. It doesn't taste bad, but it's not what you expected when you though about milk, so you become disappointed and avoid other really good tasting alternatives which might have stood a chance if not being directly compared to an already established market standard and favorite.

    And yes, that chum might just be me, and although I've been presented with some really good tasting alternatives that I've come to love, I still absolutely refuse to buy/try any "Vegan meats/diaries".

    Would much rather just have some ratatouille, grilled mushroom, or wheat chocolate instead.

    Rant over.
