I don't get how Americans are more scared of Australia's animals when they have goddamn bears! You can get an antidote for a spider or snake bite, you can't get an antidote for a bear bite.

Also what does she hope to accomplish? Even if it is just a phase, why would that change anything?

Knew someone was going to comment this

Unless the game isn't on steam, then you do have to touch the OS

Oh ok

It's a proper distro, that's just saying it's not THE official one

Then why did you ask for proof lol

Yeah. I feel like fell down implies you travelled some not insignifcant distance while falling.

No, cause Wikimedia wouldn't let him buy it in a million years

Oh I hate communities that use Telegram. I mean, sure, I guess there's better privacy, but Telegram was just not built for that. Messages always get lost, and there are no channels, which means no info channel, so they have to try and cram everything into the description.

• Better moderation tools
• Easier to do voice/video channels
• Easy to create your own server
• Huge amount of useful bots created by the community
• Features like replies, threads, onboarding screens, and custom emotes

Don't get me wrong, I wish that we could use a FOSS platform instead of Discord, but 1: people are already using Discord and it's hard to get everyone to switch platform, and 2: there is no comparable alternative right now

I'm going to skip the sponsor anyway, SponsorBlock just makes it way easier. I don't have it on auto skip though, because 1: Sometimes they mark segments as sponsored that still have interesting stuff, and sometimes they do good sponsor segments, and 2: Maybe sometimes I'll be willing to watch it. For example, I always watch the end segment of Jet Lag.

So it ends up being not very different from skipping the sponsor. And besides, I never bought/used anything from a sponsor segment before SponsorBlock.

That's the same problem as people recommending Linux when Windows acts up. Just let people use whatever OS they want.

Oh I agree. Maybe not toxic per se, but extremely out of touch. I think what happened is it just became a bigger echo chamber, because from the already echo chamber reddit, all the people who are the type to switch to the fediverse (privacy focused, foss lovers) are on lemmy, with their opinions being spouted back at them, so it feels like everyone agrees, when really they're a minority.

The biggest differing opinion between reddit and lemmy that I see is lemmy's insistence that absolutely everyone should switch to linux. Of course I saw that on reddit a bit too, but it always had some pushback.

And of course there's also the ignorance of the fediverse's problems. Like people just can't comprehend why someone wouldn't switch to Mastodon or Lemmy.

This doesn't apply to all topics though. There is still some good discussion here. Sometimes it can be better than reddit.

What's weird is I don't experience this on hacker news. People seem to be a lot less out of touch, and have a wider variety of opinions. Not entirely sure why, maybe because it's had time to mature?

as practiced

People who agree with communism "as practiced" are usually ridiculed by others on lemmy, from what I've seen.

It's very good. I wish there was a way to sync podcasts without hosting a gpodder server. There is supposed ot be a free site, but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Still not worth paying the insanely expensive subscription to sync on pocket casts though. I might try to selfhost gpodder soon, I just need to fix my internet so I can port forward.

That's not why people want an open source game engine though, they want it to be open source so that they can't do a unity

I agree the phrase "open source" is a bit confusing

Imgur and Tumblr too

Not pixar

My wifi doesn't reach my bedroom. Really should fix it.
