We call people who want to regress conservative and not reactionary
Has started to grind my gears, since there is no way to quickly explain that I'm happy with the current situation (I live in the nordics, not the US). Historically I would be considered a conservative, since I don't see a need to progress (atleast at an accelerated rate). However that term is now used to define reactionaries, which are people who reacting to the changing society wants to regress to a earlier time.
Why must we change the meanings of such obvious words?
Why doesn't coffee have a FAFO culture
How come there is no real "wacky experimentation" side of the coffee community? The only one I can identify is the "snobby" coffee community (you know the one), and the rest being mostly just a refrained version of that.
Compare that to the homebrewing community, you have the snobbs (the mead community is infamous), but then there are the "prison hoochers", turning anything containing sugar into alcohol.
Where are the mavericks who perform the important societal task of discerning if "is coffee and cheeto-spice a good combo?" and "what happens if you brew coffee with red bull?"
On a more serious note it would be great so more people try different ways to spice coffee, instead of just trying to brew the flatest, "perfect" brew. I've found adding some fruity black tea to my coffee in a French press to work really well.
I work as a programmer, we get a feature request from a customer that passes through a lot of stages (billing, scheduling, architecture, etc). When it gets to me it's a simple "it's now x, it should be y, this is done when a, b and c". I then go through and change or add code until everything is achieved, it's then tested and out it goes. Rinse and repeat.
I would try different versions of proton (version 4, 5, 7 and experimental are my "go to"s and/or proton GE
Yeah, the lever that turns of AI
I work in tech an power tools are scary, they make loud noices.
Unclear, both have held normal jobs with normal pay but there never seemed to be money over for their children. Now the brain damaged one is living of pensions and the other one is spending all their money on online gurus and shamans.
I mostly play single player indie games, but still. The amount of games that I can't play on Linux can be counted on one hand (sadly on of them EFT). Older games generally work great, very old games can be a bit cranky. I would roughly compare the compatability to windows 7 regarding old games.
I have two great parents
My best friend has one, with the other one being an violent alcoholic
My SO has a brain damaged (literally) father and a hyper conspirational spiritual mother.
The more I learn about everyone else's parents the more thankful I get
Usually work from home but have an old daily driver from the sixties. Love to drive to the office with a "fun" car when I want to.
Are you sure that's how it works? Seems like a huge loophole to avoid the tariffs
It works until you zoom in. Ai still can't handle grass and such
I'll never understand why people downvote unpopular opinions on unpopular opinions. While being bonkers it's written well

Finnish media (can't find a source in English, soz) claim a correlation with Stubbs visit and Trupms aggressive posturing to Putin
Stubb has through out his entire precidency been very pro Ukraine and being an experienced diplomat he should be very familiar with realpolitik and handling populists.
Permanently Deleted
He's the first European to convince Trump that Putin is unreliable and untrustworthy. Having to golf with the devil is sadly a part of realpolitik
People think the poster is agreeing with the image
Holy shit that was a lot of "Source: my ass" and anecdotes. Ffs Musk payed to have his own government agency. "Democrats are the oligarchs party" my ass
The personal attacks on Goldberg, who published a detailed account on the 'war plans' group chat, took a cue from President Trump, who called him a 'scumbag'.
Is... Is this supposed to paint her in positive light? Making fun of journalists?
Tariffs are a tax on consumers, when will they learn?
We saw it in 2020, when hordes of masked criminals took to the streets to “protest” the death of George Floyd (and the subject of racism more broadly) by looting stores, destroying cities, and assaulting law enforcement.
Wow what a nuanced and neutral article
It's basically the m113 of the eastern block, it can do basically anything. Looks like it may have transported mortar shells perhaps?
What? A large government organization that works in the interest of the public? But that doesn't fit in my world view where all government agencies are evil faceless entities staffed by dehumanized husks. I refuse to believe there is nuance in the world
Found this beauty in one of my old projects from school
Whatever happened to racing games
How come there are so few racing games coming out lately? Feels like it's just codemasters doing their thing, some struggling indie games and a truckload of shovelware. I'm not saying it's dead but wasn't racing games one of the primary genres?
Another thing that bugs me with the few games that come out is the lack of progression and immersion. NFS Unbound impressed me slightly with actually starting you out with a low spec car and having slow (by modern standards) progression. However halfway through when you have fast and "cool" cars you really felt the games mediocrity.
Dirt rally 1 and 2 has economy systems, but after a single championship you can basically buy whatever car you want. The rallies are immersive but everything between is just boring menues.
Why do you think the state of racing games is so poor? The industry being shit? Audiences not playing them anymore?
NATO apologism
Incase anyone tells you that lemmy.ml is not a tankie instance.
Any good games that break the mold
It feels like new games are just more of the same, with no real meaning. However I recently started playing "Return of the Obra Dihn" and love open ended deduction in it. It feels like I'm actually figuring things out by myself without being handheld through it. Are there any other games that don't coddle the player that you guys recommend?
The Paradox DLC model is good
The games they release are complete in them selves, and with 15-20€ dlces every ~6 months they keep the games fresh with new content.
People rarely complain that features are missing from their games until it gets added in a DLC. Then suddenly it's a mandatory feature.
How many alts do you have on lemmy
Personally I have three accounts. This is my main, but I have a reserve for stuff and one for my local region/language. What about you?
Which games that were reviewed poorly did you actually like?
Personally never had a problem with Victoria 3. A bit buggy on release but nothing game breaking
Opinions on Hersir - Hulkoff?

What do you guys think of this new album? I would probably qualify it as dark/industrial folk metal for those who haven't heard it yet. I must say it usually takes me a while to warm up to this kind of music but some of these tracks are bangers straight of the bat. Really enjoy the amount of folk in this album, folk metal tends to turn into power metal but with a violin (not that it's necessarily a bad thing). I also like the variety, the tracks are different enough but not completely disconnected from each other. I would like to know what you're guys impressions are, though do note that this genre isn't for everyone.
What is the funniest trash talk you have received online?
How come there isn't more torrent based technology
Most of the problems in the current internet landscape is caused by the cost of centralized servers. What problems are stopping us from running the fediverse on a peer to peer torrent based network? I would assume latency, but couldn't that be solved by larger pre caching in clients? Of course interaction and authentication should be handled centrally, but media sharing which is the largest strain on servers could be eased by clients sending media between each other. What am I missing? Torrenting seems to be such an elegant solution.
