Is there a lot of drama between mobile OS developers? I’m not really in those circles, I had no idea.

I mean I’m no fan of the Musk brigade, but I’m not ready to “pink mist” people based on a list of names someone I don’t know spread on the internet.

Do you think a large majority of Trump voters (not the vocal, terminally online ones) are actively hoping for an end to democracy? No, they’re just misled by someone who pretends to be on their side. And to turn the tide we need them back on our side. You think they’re going to be convinced by us shouting “fascist” at them? Obviously not. So what’s your plan to control the narrative?

Trump has a plan. Unlike the tone deaf democrats who even now don’t seem to be able to present a message that normal people are interested in. They’re seen mostly as defenders of the status quo. The status quo that forces folks to work 3 jobs to make rent, then Trump comes along and shouts “death to the status quo”. Just repeatedly shouting back “Trump is evil” isn’t going to cut it.

What’s more important, winning the fight over what label to put on those assholes or actually fighting what they do? It’s the same as people arguing about whether the Gaza situation is technically a genocide or not. Endless debate on the technicalities while nothing changes. Calling Trump and by extension all his followers “Nazis” just reinforces their belief that the “left” is their unrelenting enemy.

I was going to immediately mention Hollow Knight but I see someone already did. Second thought: Tunic. It’s been a long time since a game hit me as hard as those two.

For pure fun addictive gaming: Factorio is absolutely nuts. 2D survival craft platforming action: Terraria is still king.

For space empire building check out X4: Foundations, after almost 10 years under development it’s absolutely amazing (but a huge timesink haha)

Oh and if you’re into semi-hard-scifi basebuilding you could give Stationeers a look. Sunk quite some hours into that one.

You might not give a shit but the American elections are going to have a huge impact no matter where you live. It’s world news. And yeah there’s a lot of nonsense news about the US elections but there’s plenty of nonsense news elsewhere too. Why not start a lemmy community specifically about non-US news if you feel that’s lacking?

I think this is exactly what I’d like to change about Lemmy’s culture, the same thing that happened (more extreme) to Reddit.

The guy above you made a stupid remark. Then you come along and say to yourself “I bet I can out-asshole this guy, let me write something equally asinine and insulting, that will raise the level of this discussion” The same lame brained tit-for-tat bullshit that destroys our political debate.

My girlfriend lies on my right arm, so she’s on the right side of the bed and I’m on the left.

Might be an unpopular take but… maybe being good at high school math tests is not really such an important gift in the real world.

What will keep you safe is not selling your business to a mega corp.

Always was a huge fan of his soft-spoken intelligent commentary. My favorite amongst the horsemen.

Was I a good processor?

No one ever mentions the MSX. Best of the 8 bit generation as far as I’m concerned, scrolling purists be damned.

Shareholders: you doubled your profit last year, so I expect you to do it again this year.

I’d like to see those little city cars added here, those little two seaters that don’t go more than 45kph. Could be a good compromise for lots of people with limited mobility

Why would they need that? Let me introduce you to Big Data.

Man seeing those graphs, all I can say is thank god for women.

Pretty sure excessive phone use leads to this kind of doomerism so might not be a bad idea to force kids to touch some grass.

Free (as in beer) is never free

It’s not super difficult to just make a standards compliant website. I always wonder how in this day and age people manage to create professional websites with browser specific bugs.
