ITT people not understanding that their votes are basically public no matter what. This tool might as well be one of a thousand and we're just playing wack-a-mole. Kind of a waste of time to bother with it, instead lemmy should get better.

The shopping realization for me is that I can't find this kind of graphs online with my average ass searching skills.

I can find linear graphs from the last 200 years or log graphs from the last 2000, but not what is show in this picture. No ship average joes think it looks natural, I'm convinced no one sees this graph, they see the shitty confusing ones. I bet many people don't have any idea what a log graph even is.

It's also why I think people say they don't want lemmy to change, that they want to filter out people, whenever the state of the platform is discussed, how it's not user friendly and properly thought out to be scalable.

For the latest anime episode discussion where do I go? On https://lemmy.world/c/anime? Or lemmy.ml/c/anime? Or https://ani.social/c/anime? https://lemmit.online/c/anime? https://jlai.lu/c/anime? https://adultswim.fan/c/anime? https://lemmy.eco.br/c/anime? https://sopuli.xyz/c/anime? https://feddit.nl/c/anime?

Now we need an army of mods for every community instead of a few for just the one. IMO lemmy will never scale in this state.

The sad part is that all these issues have been known for a while now and none if them have been tackled at all so far.

How amazing would it be if you could just link your account with any instance at any time? My instance is down? No worries, I connect using another.

What if that community you are interested in doesn't have its' users split on 4 different instances making it even more niche than before?

What if when I create an account I get a list of suggested instances and a mini description so I don't have to immediately know what I'm doing and learn about this later? With proper account migration I could change this anytime I want.

On top of all of that I keep hearing the mod tools are atrocious.

When was the last time a major feature was added to lemmy? I think the only hope now is a different competitor on ActivityPub like piefed.

What is it with everyone being obsessed with porn censorship suddenly? Why is this a trend?

At first I thought it's about control and data gathering, but this seems like too much of a genuine attempt at such a system. Why is the government so obsessed with parenting and nannying the citizens?

Individual countries already have their own versions and an EU level version is beeing rolled out. Let's see how it works out.

Hate that the solution to endless passwords is to carry a password database everywhere I go. So I can use my password while I use my password.

I realize now I've seen these people in the wild. When men are recorded in a video doing innocent or "girly" things, someone in the comments inevitably says "men used to go to war", like a kind of celebration of that fact, like they are specifically sad or disappointed that men get to actually enjoy life instead of suffering and committing atrocities on a battlefield.

So you have the same password for everything? Which would mean a single password leak would compromise all of your accounts?

Did you specifically remove the word absurd from my text to make your point?

Did I expect anything less from a user of the instance I consider harbors absurd extremism?

[–] Geth 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think it is. The voices I've heard from this instance have been some of the most reasonable and well though out. Also this instance stands for piracy and open source which are not imo extremist ideals in the digital world.

 

Like for many other people, Valve single player experiences were one of my favorite of all time growing up. I considered both Half-Life and Portal to be masterpieces. It's true they've always been distracted with multiplayer games as well, things like Counter-Strike or Team Fortress and I did play them for sure, because I was a kid and I had all the time in the world.

These days I'm not a kid anymore and so when I game I tend to look more for memorable experiences instead of mindless grinding. Obviously I remember Valve as the experts in creating memorable experiences and I would like them to keep fully exploring those talents. They don't have that many employees, but they do have all the money in the world, no external pressure, no publisher to shit on them, it's just their developers and artists and a vision. But then they use all that and create this. An Overwatch looking moba shooter, really? I'm sure people will like and play it, but is this the results of the vision and ambition of a company like Valve?

It doesn't have to be Half-Life. I remember them saying that they dont want to do another one in the series because they are looking to innovate and make something truly original. My body is ready, give me anything. I can't imagine a moba shooter really fits with this description. I'm wondering how such a low hanging concept even becomes a real product at a company as ambitious as Valve.

I hear people are having fun with the new game and I'm happy for them. I am no longer the target audience and I wish them good luck with it. In the mean time let me hear your thoughts on it. Would you like to see another single player experience from Valve?

 

No worry about quality when you only get one topic to enjoy for the day.

 

I've been using sync for a while and occasionally I go looking in the settings for the feature to hide read posts automatically, instead of having to do it manually. Other Lemmy clients have this so I was convinced sync should probably have it as well, I just can't find it. Does this exist? If not, is it something that could be added? Thanks!
