That’s a great way to have LP follow you the entire time

Damn, this photo is weirdly unsettling to me
I think it’s medical and insulting use are obsolete lmao
Wait, are hot water dish washers not a thing outside the US?
So about 25,000 peoples minimum drinking water per day per bouy. Not too bad there.
Or the overall average water usage of ~13.2 people (went with the first number cause I ain’t researching things rn)
Google and killing products
Microsoft and a bizarre amount of backwards compatibility
Phew! I was worried there for a second! Good to know I’ll continue to face no consequences!
I mean, yes. It’s not like these corporate assholes are left wing. They’re capitalist liberals at best
This is a Beehaw post, not Hexbear. Heaxbear is filled with sorry ass tankies
What service was this?
Agreed. I don’t have 90s Internet memories like a lot of here, but I do have some early 2000a Internet memories, which I honestly think was better than the 90s Internet cause we’d worked out a lot of the kinks.
Forums were a great place to chat with people about whatever and in 99% of cases, people were polite enough. People talked about this and that. I and others shared their discoveries in video games on sites like GameFAQs (rest in peace, I put up so many Mario Kart DD tips).
People treated interactive sites like they were neighborhoods. Sure, a ton of drama would pop up, same as any neighborhood, and sometimes that drama made modernTwitter drama seem tame, but it stayed within the community the majority of the time and it either got resolved or ended up killing the site. Either way people got over it and moved on.
Nowadays, just keeping up with memes and drama is a full time job. Just 5 years ago I could stay on top of things, now it feels like what’s funny changes the second I see it, and I’m not even old (I was just on the Internet at way too young). Hell, rage comics and impact memes were a think for over a decade.
Lemmy has so far felt like a nice middle ground between the old days of things lasting more than five minutes and people not just immediately being dicks (as long as you block everything LG and Hexbear) plus modern comforts in technology.
If they’d just allow other browsers, I’d love to get an iPad for creative work and to watch movies and shows in bed. My laptop does the job right now, but it gets too hot on my lap
Here, I’ll fix it:
Oh no! Jim Jordan loses the Speaker vote for a third time! You won’t believe how many hold outs there were!
Followed by 10 paragraphs of SEO ridden, AI generated drivel that buries the answer to the point you give up on finding it
Seriously, just let us make our own “channels”. I want to shuffle through different shows for my background audio, not just 1.
Whichever streaming service gets that and some decent content will have my full attention
Oh THATS why it’s called Gentoo!
I knew it was a penguin and I knew about the distro, but I never put the two together
It’s definitely marketing for AT&T
Agreed to a point. I think the ideal system would be to locally store voice chats. If you report someone on your team for being toxic, then they’re sent over for review but made anonymous (like “Blue Player 1” and “Red Player 3” instead of “xXxGunKiller69xXx” and “Purple Dream Flute”). If whatever system used to review the chats (preferably humans, but it’ll probably be AI) determines that there was an actionable offense, the match identifier is pulled up and then and only then individual player names get seen so actions can be taken, otherwise it’s fully deleted.
That’s about the best system I can think of to balance privacy with the banning of toxic players. You could use this same system for text interactions as well. While I would love for 100% of my data in mp games to be private, it isn’t possible to do that and not be surrounded by toxic assholes 24/7 afaik. And I’m personally fine giving up a bit of privacy if it means not being surrounded by assholes every match.
Now, the big issue is that gaming companies just want to record everything you say to sell it off for data collection, but that’s more to do with the fact that capitalism encourages companies to have 0 ethics
It actually has to meet all the criteria. Mozilla is going HARDCORE
