Since every language seems to be dropping percentage-wise: What is the market Steam is growing so much in? India?

But … why? That totally not how the EU membership process works?

That would be great. Currently you’re kind of fucked when it comes to customers rights: Amazon, but also nearly every other “platform” like eBay is full of chinese sellers. You order something and if their product burns down your house or harms you, you’re fucked. Or the seller is one of those dropshipping get richt quick idiots that is basically acting as fall guy for pushing unsafe products into Europe. If your house burns down, well, he is fucked, too.

I disagree - I was on Reddit since before the Digg exodus, so I may or may not know a few things. There was a big mood shift after the mod strike. It really shook the page - some subreddits never “recovered”. Some that were popular before are still in a kind of lockdown. Some have new mods which are not doing a really great job. There were a few that really grew. But overall, Reddit lost a lot. People did delete decades of useful advice. Regular users left. The new ones are … different. In many cases mobile users that kind of seem to use Reddit as a chat platform, but they are not posting really insightful comments. Some are indistingushable from bots. Many are bots. Some mods have just given up and gave up moderating popular subreddits, which are now drowning in repost bost. There are bots replicating whole threads under reposts. Many subreddits are just old screenshots from Twitter. It’s wild - but it is hollow. And that was different a few years back.

It would be trivially easy to create an automoderator bot for that.

It’s not about redemption or something like that. EU membership is a process and open to all european countries. If UK wants to join again, we don’t need an apology from the population.

(and, by the way: 2016 was 9 years ago. With a life expectancy of 78 years and a voting age of 18 a bigger part of those who voted for Brexit have already died. No one under 27 was even able to vote. The migrant population also had no vote here)

A modest proposal: If a majority of 51,89% for and 48,11% against was enough to push through with Brexit, maybe 55% vs. 30% should also be a clear votum to start talking about a new EU membership.

TBH: Some games are really a stupid grindfest. I’m avoiding some games because grinding for hundreds of hours to get to the interesting parts is stupid and I don’t have the time for that. An AI that grinds for me would really be great.

I think he’s talking about the one which fueled the genocide in Myanmar.

Be careful here: There is no reason for film companies to not attack Lemmy like that.

We decided on some cheap silver rings. We really didn’t want to carry around something extremely valuable everywhere. Go swimming and lose 5000€ in the lake? Do some yard work and lose your diamond ring there? Getting mugged and the robber is getting something really expensive? No, thank you.

Expensive wedding rings & jewelery did make sense in the past when women were not allowed their own money, bank accounts etc. as a way to escape an abusive husband. Pawn your expensive wedding ring, get cash for the getaway. But we’re not living in the 50s, my wife has her own bank account, is earning her own money, so no need for something like that.

It’s actually quite simple - not sure how it does work under the hood, but take a look at your documents. Every insurance, employer or company has its own letterhead with logo, contact information and legalese. You just tell paperless on one document “hey, that is my insurance, please tag everything like this as insurance” and it will do that.

Fuck the whole conflict. Nobody will fucking solve the conflict by posting on the internet, but we are getting so many idiots spouting propaganda, misinformation and utter nonsense. Nothing good will come out of discussing this over 100 year old clusterfuck of a conflict online and nothing good will come from pushing a shit agenda into Wikipedia. The best way to deal with it is to just ignore everything about it.

NodeBB has added ActivityPub federation today. So that should work

Germany alone is importing around 85-100 billion Euros of fossil fuels every year. That is a lot of money and a lot of that money is going to american oil barons. It makes sense that they are trying to sabotage our efforts to be climate neutral, because they really don’t want us producing our own energy on our roofs or with wind turbines on local hills. Me having solar on my roof is a nightmare for some billionaire in Texas, some Saudi sheik or that guy in the Kreml.

This makes sense - Tesla is overvaluated in comparison to other car manufacturers. Musk has created a really big image problem. The Cybertruck is a disaster that really makes you wonder if their priorities are right. Chinese car companies are starting to flood the market. The Semi truck is not going anywhere. It’s a really bad spot for a company that is valuated more than all of its biggest competitors to be in.

I own a lot of systems and games and, well, you have a point. Gaming on an original device is really nice, but everybody should really think hard about just buying some flash drives for their favorite systems. Games are mass produced. Nothing artsy there. Just mass produced entertainment. A CD-Rom with some nice prints on there. A plastic shell with a sticker. A box. Nice to look at and if you can get them cheap, buy them. But there is no reason to spend hundreds of dollars to buy that one game from some scalper.

Sitting here in foggy January. The solar on the roof still powers the whole building. The 3D printer is printing something, also solar powered. A little server is running next to me, also solar powered. Posting on a decentralized global communication network.
