Not the reporting, the Trump campaign trying to justify a few sentences with paragraphs.

So good. Now let’s eat Grandma.

If anyone fell for this farce, I have some totally legit sections of a bridge to sell them.

That’s interesting. Always good to be able to make informed choices

Alone. I don’t currently have friends that play it, but I still have a good time. Works great on Deck, and you can even make use of HDR settings, if you have an OLED version.

If you have to offer multiple paragraphs of explanation for barely a sentence or two of his statements, you’ve already lost people’s attention, to say nothing of blatantly engaging in an Argument from Silence.

It’s a good time for SNES spiritual successors!

Mostly CrossCode. A fun little sci-fi action puzzler that pays homage to the SNES era of games. It’s similar to Spirit of Mana. Low power requirements, and it has a Linux-native version that works better than the Windows version (you need updated engine files if you play from itch.io).

I’m also playing a little bit of No Man’s Sky, but just here and there; I’m mostly playing that on my desktop.

You know, I’m okay if an indie dev wants to use an LLM to generate lore text to save time, effort, and/or sanity. I sometimes feel bad skipping that stuff, because I know a small team of people worked really hard to write multiple pages of a “book” in some hard-to-reach corner of their game.

On the other hand, these giant corpos have the resources to pay for writers and artists, and I think they have an ethical duty to society to provide jobs.

I’m not sure how you’d solve the problem of big corpos becoming cheap content farms while avoiding harming the people who use these tools to make something rich and beautiful, but I have to believe there’s a way to thread that needle.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

Plus, presidents regularly create carve-out exceptions to tariffs, anyway. This is likely overblown fearmongering.

Not in particular, but at least I could ostensibly set up a filter (or automod) that hid or removed low-quality comments like that. Removing downvotes is kinda the same effect.

I’m not saying voting should go away entirely. This instance still has upvotes, after all, but Lemmy will just turn into the cynical, pessimistic, self-fallating shithole that Reddit has become if we don’t do anything differently as a community.

(And yes, it was just an open invitation—a reminder, if you will, that The Fediverse is a cool place where you have choices regarding how you experience it.)

I’ma have to look up some recipes

Wait, mustard? I always thought mayo was just egg, oil, and vinegar (the egg being the emulsifier). Is there a whole world of mayo I’m missing‽

This instance actually drops downvotes before they hit the database, so unless another instance tracks users on different instances, they simply disappear for people on this instance.

Because downvotes are lazy commentary. I’d rather judge for myself what constitutes a bad take and use words to encourage or debate. I don’t need a bunch of angry keyboard warriors poisoning the discourse with voluntary polling.

Plus, seeing a bunch of negative numbers doesn’t make anyone feel good. I would rather Lemmy be a better place than Reddit.

Voting is guaranteed private. It’s a right, and nobody is obligated to share how they voted.

Casting aspersions over her right to keep her vote private is big authoritarian energy, and “Darlene Superville, Aamer Madhani and The Associated Press” (authors) should feel bad for trying to make an Argument from Silence.

There’s an election coming up, and there’s state and local seats up for grabs. We can’t flip Texas in a single cycle, but these goons didn’t get where they are all at once, either.

Don’t know much about proxmox, but I know that Hyper-V tries to create every VM with Secure Boot turned on, and every Linux distro I’ve tried won’t boot the installer like that.

Maybe double check the settings of the VM.

Kind of ironic, that. I do not apologize. 😆

Join my instance, and you’ll never see another downvote again.
