Removal of piracy communities
  • Until accounts can be migrated or users are disconnected from the instances, this will be a huge limit of Lemmy over other social media. Having to maintain multiple accounts on the same platform simply to view all the content you want will deter users.

    Well, the probability isn’t zero 🤷🏻‍♀️
  • Looking mindlessly at my phone and scrolling through pointless posts puts me to sleep significantly faster than laying still listening to whatever thoughts and concerns my brain conjures up.

    The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion - 20-07-2023
  • You really can play the game however you want. There are a bunch of monster contracts you can do if all you want to do is fight monsters, and a bunch of side quests involve fighting more monsters along the way. And some of the story show you some of the worst monsters are actually humans. The durability is a pain, but once you build up some cash, you can buy repair kits that make long travels easier. Otherwise, repair every time you are in a town/city. The game has a lot to it and starts kind of slow but once you get into it (about Crows Perch and the Baron storyline), it's a ton of fun.

  • This might be one of my favorite games. So much replay value if you don't look up spoilers. If you didn't get heart of stone or blood and wine, you REALLY need to. They are like entire games themselves.

    Reddit is bringing back r/Place at perhaps the worst possible time
  • Because they are seeing the threat that places like Lemmy are providing to users. They need to draw people back to Reddit and distract from the protests that are still a topic.

    Famous hacker, Kevin Mitnick passes away at 59
  • Huh, maybe it was just the event or his mood. I met him at an security event and he was an absolute asshole to everyone. Basically any questions, he gave short terse answers to and clearly it didn't want to say hi to anyone. Glad others had better experiences than mine.

    MTG shows Hunter Biden revenge porn for congress.
  • Well, Ivanka and Jared collected paychecks and used government positions to benefit themselves, so Hunter MUST be doing corrupt stuff.

    Decaying capitalism always end in fascism.
  • Correct, until unregulated capitalism stopped acknowledging the human and saw people only as assets to be squeezed for profit, like cows to be milked until they run dry then slaughtered. Wages have largely not kept up with inflation while at the same time corporations turned necessities, like housing and healthcare, into profit centers. They observed the inelastic demand and lack of government oversight and are continuously raising prices on those necessities to maximize profits, knowing that people have no choice but to pay it or die. Capitalism without regulation just results in exploitation of the working class by the rich and greedy.

    A year in Mars is longer than the ones on Earth, so ppl living on Mars would celebrate less birthdays and technically die younger.
  • I think for the foreseeable future, we'd likely still track age via Earth years for the sake of avoiding this kind of thing

    This is actually how it's handled in the science fiction universes. Star Wars for example uses Corusant time as the standard across the galaxy.
