2nd hand Samsung from 3 years ago is still better and cheaper.

Cheaper? Yes. Better? Hell no, unless you can root it and install a custom ROM.

What does game preservation have to do with right to repair? I support both, but if people don't care about preserving games, latching it onto the right to repair movement is just going to drag it down for no reason.

I never preorder games, but I was going to for this one until I tried the demo and saw it was buggy and laggy.

Monster Hunter is a legit awesome and addicting (in a good way) series. This latest one is a dud, but pretty much every game in the series has been a certified banger.

MH: Generations is the pinnacle of classic MH. Rise is the newest classic-style game, but it's very modernized. The modern games aren't bad, they're just different.

Anyone know why the Signal app isn't available on F-Droid? Isn't it supposed to be open source?

My parents' feeds are already getting flooded with videos about how evil and scary Iran is

Deploying it in Ukraine against Russia, or in Gaza against Israel would be brave.

Deploying it against his own civilians is cowardly.

Throw Musk in prison for his many documented crimes, but don't support this kind of dictator shit.

An old-timey duel to the death would be the logical solution to this problem

The only movie that legit made me cry was Seven Pounds with Will Smith. I only saw it once, and I tried real goddamn hard to suppress the tears, but a few leaked out. Luckily, none of the people I watched it with noticed, so my masculinity remained in-tact.

I’m asking as I’m trying to understand empathy and whether it’s normal to get so invested in fake characters,

Fuck yeah it is. It's a beautiful thing to be so moved by something that it brings you to tears (especially art). It's what makes us human: we're not just mindless beasts trying to eat and fuck, we're experiencing life to its fullest.

This is stupid. There's no clear lines between capitism and communism, irl with regulations, shit always lands somewhere in the middle. If we look strictly at quality of life, capitalist-leaning countries win easily, even for the poorer countries (excluding the ones with actual slavery ofc).

Communism won't save you from fascism.

Damn bro coke is the only one on the list that's gonna hurt to cut.

But fuck them, this shit ain't acceptable.

 

The mastodon and lemmy content I’m seeing feels like 90% of it comes from people who are:

  • ~30 years old or older

  • tech enthusiasts/workers

  • linux users

There’s nothing wrong with that particular demographic or anything, but it doesn’t feel like a win to me if the entire fediverse is just one big monoculture.

I wonder what it is that is keeping more diverse users away? Is picking a server/federation too complicated? Or is it that they don’t see any content that they like?

Thoughts?
