    The political views of a recommended lecturer, and even his own views on cancel culture aren’t the issue in my mind. In fact I agree with some of the nuances there.

    The notion of rejecting a software lecture for the views of the presenter is kinda dumb. I don’t know the content of the lectures, to be fair, but I assume any irrelevant personal views aren’t part of it. Lashing out at Kovarex for the recommendation is dumb too, arguably more so.

    It’s the statutory rape comment that I don’t like, which affects the benefit of the doubt as far as his other stances go. Still, I don’t think Factorio, or even Kovarex necessarily, should be “cancelled” here. Any backlash for his own comments is fair though.

    I see now my comment didn’t reflect that as I only meant to convey my own disappointment, which is also nuanced.

    “Completely normal” takes that are on the level of “I’m not racist, but…”. That is the proof.

    A take can be common, pervasive, and bigoted.

    It is a loss if someone doesn’t feel comfortable supporting or even touching the game after hearing this. It’s a beloved game that unfortunately, but deservingly, will be tarnished by the dev’s public views.










  • I don’t know if blocking all interaction is possible or not. It can be confusing with federation. As far as I understand, instance blocking pertains to posts and not users. You won’t see posts from the instance, but other mutually federated posts can still have comments from the instance’s users.

    I’m less clear on how user blocking works, but I imagine you wouldn’t see comments the comments at all in that case. They can still see and interact with your comments/posts (I think), you just won’t see it yourself. You’d probably have to block each user individually since I don’t think Lemmy has that functionality.




  • I went from Arch to NixOS, so I can offer a bit there.

    You definitely won’t want to rely on it until you know a good amount and get comfortable. Things can be made to work, but knowing how to get it done is the main thing most of the time.

    Regarding package availability, it’s just a matter of a few oddly esoteric incantations and version controlled code, usually. Binaries are another story but still possible, and python is a special case of that.

    It has been an annoyance for me, but I’ve also learned a lot by getting things to work. If you use any niche python stuff you’re bound to run into something. A bunch is already packaged and works fine, though. Either way there’s a bit of extra nuance, which is more to learn.

    You don’t have to start with NixOS and can feel it out using nix on any distro. It can be hard to tell if someone will vibe with it. All that said, it could be more than you’re looking to get into, but you can ease into it if you’re interested.

    Nichijou was the first thing I thought of. It’s just so carefree and cute, but unexpectedly wild. I love absurdist humor, too.

    On top of that it’s the first time I really “got” anime, so it’s sentimental. I clicked with it hardcore, and was embarrassed about it for a while.

    Just imagine anime night with the bros, watching sword art, and you’re the only one who just needs to fit in another episode of Nichijou lol
