I’m finding that Lemmy and the Fediverse in general isn’t good enough for normie stuff, like TV and movies. Frankly, i think videogames too now that i think about it. I’ve seen news about videogames, but never people talking about a videogame. Even anime and manga is very limited.

Not the first time, there have been many migrations and the ban the sites that gain traction against Reddit.

It was only lightweight in comparison to Windows, but every other OS is.

I spend two hours the other night just getting nicer covers for my ebooks. I don’t regret it.

My friend bought a used Kindle paper, it worked perfectly for a month, even bought books for it. Then randomly bricked.

The same happened to me, but with a Kindle fire stick. I loved how nice it looked on my old led tv, even better in my more modern led monitor. The only device i could actually stream at 1080p without image downgrade. It didn’t last 6 months, stuck in a bootloop and i have no idea on how to troubleshoot. Never again.

Stay home, do nothing is a strike.

Basically, the only thing the US failed to do from this list was a successful pivot to green technologies and the cheap, abundant electricity they could provide. There were many plans that had plans to process and build lithium batteries, that were dismantled after Trump 2.

American car companies (and American built cars) get subsidies from the US, Canada, and Mexico as all three form a single manufacturing chain. They simply have had a different set of priorities that allowed newcomers to eat their lunch, like it happens to any complacent industry.

They tried when Japanese cars became popular for being efficient, the US car companies preferred to pretty much abandon the rest of the world and keep the government money.

They’ve been partners ever since WSL launched, it was initially only available with Ubuntu.

Trust that Microsoft will send upstream any feature they don’t want to maintain themselves. Slowly, but surely there will be featured that only work on Windows. Then, when they believe they don’t have to play nice anymore, they’ll close off the code.

Embrace, Extend, Extinguish.

I’ve lost so many of those over the years lol

It’s not as crunchy though, i want crunchy.

I worked customer service for match for almost a decade, so I can give you a few pointers.

People leave when they’re the only ones in an area. So giving them something to do is important to retain people. The best idea I’ve ever saw was having a forum where people can discuss any topic. I think Match also tested public chatrooms and streams, but i didn’t really dealt with those. You’ll have to deal with forum drama and moderation, but some people will be very engaged.

Speaking of, moderation will take lots of time and effort. People sick. Make sure that moderation tools are as robust as the matching ones.

I think those are the general ones. Best of luck!

If it’s anything like me, it only needs sugar water and potato chips.

Epic’s anti cheat support Linux, the CEO refuses(-ed) to use it in their own games because they hate Linux.

Talking out of my ass, i think this shift is one of two things. The first would be their customers wanting to target Steam Deck having doubts of Epic’s anti cheat capacity in Linux. If they don’t support it in their own games (and Rocket League had Linux support before being bought out). The other is they want to launch their own Linux based console with their Store pre-installed. They’ve always wanted to have a store front, to the point they challenged Google and Apple for a bigger piece of the pie. Today, this last part is unlikely considering the price of components.

The only other entity able to push AI this hard is the state, and people would certainly be just as pissed about it.

A real life example, I know a company whose low level employees use a Dell mini pc with a custom OS whose only job is to RDP into Citrix. All the data and compute is on the cloud.

They shouldn’t be. One of the issue the sheer size and volume, they’re being built based only on speculation not actual need (all the ssd/ram/gpu are sitting in warehouses waiting for these DC to be built — if they’re fabricated at all). They’re also being built where it’s cheap, not where they would be needed (industrial and urban areas) just to save money, externalize costs, and avoid regulations.

AI data centers use complex calculations. Why bring up websites or VPS? these are data centers are no issue, their footprints are small and don’t require much energy to work, unlike the AI data centers.

She’s 22, she spent her whole life in shooting drills at school. She might have survived one herself. That’s a generational experience similar to the Millennial suicide jokes. The solution is societal, not this.
