LiamMayfair,

I think it was a promising treatment for type 2 diabetes.

LiamMayfair,

Voyager. I tried a few others but Voyager has a very slick UI and all the features I want.

LiamMayfair,

Btrfs. It was the default filesystem already when I used Fedora on both my personal and work laptops. Not a single problem. It is true I don’t really make much use of most of its advanced features like snapshotting, CoW, etc., but I also didn’t notice any difference whatsoever in stability compared to ext4 so I’m pretty happy with it as my new default.

LiamMayfair,

Not sure about that. It takes a pretty big leap to go from believing in 0 gods to 1. I think the line dividing atheists from theists is a pretty huge rift because they hold opposing views on very fundamental matters like the concept of God itself, how the world came to be, our purpose in life, what happens after we die… I don’t think it’s something you can quite reduce down to a matter of numbers.

LiamMayfair,

Sure, but only as far as science doesn’t contradict their religious beliefs. For example, there are many Creationist Christians who reject Evolution, Natural Selection and the Big Bang.

LiamMayfair,

I don’t know if TSE is a misspelling of The Elder Scrolls. In case it isn’t: The Elder Scrolls.

LiamMayfair,

The OG Yakuza 1 and 2 may be dated but I enjoyed their Kiwami remakes.

LiamMayfair,

Kitty. Don’t really care about the dev. I don’t use software or not just because the devs are assholes, as long as they’re not cannibals or pedos ofc. Even less so if it’s FOSS.

LiamMayfair,

What liberal media journalists have managed to interview Putin since he began his invasion of Ukraine in 2022? I thought Carlson was the first Western person to manage that.

LiamMayfair,

If the nuke comes out, it won’t make an ounce of a difference who has more of them: if only each side can manage to land a small handful, everyone is equally and utterly fucked.

This principle alone is why NATO has not engaged Russia more directly.

LiamMayfair,

I genuinely can’t fathom how anyone other than Russia and their buddies can look at this situation and think they’re better off not helping Ukraine right now. What do they expect? That Russia will say “Ah, gobbling up Ukraine hit the spot, I’m good now. Thanks guys!” and stop their aggression forever?

Ukraine is just the first step. Eventually, Russia will gain more power and influence and encroach into more European territories. You have to be either deluded or directly stand to benefit from Russia’s invasion to think just because Russia cannot physically invade the US as easily, that the US won’t hurt badly because of it. I really don’t get it.

LiamMayfair,

I think a half of a half of a half of a half of half of that would probably do just fine too tbh

LiamMayfair,

Kitty. Fast (GPU-accelerated), Wayland-compatible, and has a built-in image viewer, among other things.

LiamMayfair,

It’s almost as though the overbearing Yahoo/Ask! toolbars that used to plague everyone’s Internet Explorer back in the day have mutated and infected the internet at large. Now most websites feel like one useless, giant malware-riddled toolbar.

LiamMayfair,

Yep, whenever people text me an Instagram or TikTok URL, I just scroll past it. I don’t even bother to find out what it’s supposed to be about, it’s completely inconsequential to me.

LiamMayfair,

Very intrigued by OpenSUSE as an alternative to Fedora. How do you think the two stack up against each other? Is it a noticeable leap switching between them?

LiamMayfair,

Glad to see stability and QoS being prioritised over throughput this time around. I feel like once WiFi broke through the 300 Mbps barrier with the 5GHz band, strictly focusing on further improvements in throughput would just yield diminishing returns for most people.

However, latency and signal strength have been notoriously annoying long-term problems that I’m happy to see finally being acknowledged.

LiamMayfair,

5 and 8. Imagine being able to spook people out all around the world by making their toaster go off in the middle of the night. Also, speaking in dead languages will make me very interesting at parties.

LiamMayfair,

I welcome this change. It makes it clear to the user in realistic terms how they want to engage with the site.

  • Pay up with your money
  • Pay up with your data
  • Don’t use Facebook

I despise Meta and all their products but they are entitled to charge people for them. Shit ain’t free to run, you know.

I’d much sooner they showed this banner and force people to make a decision than what they’ve been doing up until now, which is to “assume” everyone’s fine with their personal data being harvested and exploited without their knowledge or consent.

LiamMayfair,

I have the exact same issue here trying to connect to lemmy.sdf.org. Hope it gets fixed soon.

How do people find good information on the internet these days?

It used to be that you would do a search on a relevant subject and get blog posts, forums posts, and maybe a couple of relevant companies offering the product or service. (And if you wanted more information on said company you could give them a call and actually talk to a real person about said service) You could even trust...

LiamMayfair,

For videogames specifically, I usually turn to these sources for reliable advice:

  • Eurogamer and other reputable media outlets I’ve been following for years, so I know their journalists well and their tastes
  • Metacritic and GameFAQs
  • Watch streamers play the game I’m interested in for a while and make up my own mind as to whether I like what I see or not
LiamMayfair,

It is so ironic that SEO has become the very problem it was invented to fix: all these jokers gaming the system have all but plunged us all back into prehistoric internet times, before search engines appeared and people had to remember which specific sites to go to find information online.
