You have heard the thing that Ethiopia is banning import of all ICEs? https://electrek.co/2024/02/02/it-begins-ethiopia-set-to-become-first-country-to-ban-internal-combustion-cars/

Now this is a really intriguing review! It’s on my list now!

What did you enjoy about it? This sounds like something I’d generally enjoy :) Is there maybe something comparable that comes to mind others may have read? I’ve read a lot of Gibson and early Stephenson for example. And almost everything by Doctorow. Maybe those are authors you can compare to?

Thanks! Glad I asked, I honestly hadn’t understood that 😂

Honestly have no experience here, but is this at all worth a look if you aren’t paying for YT? I’ve considered reshuffling/reducing the subscriptions I have and Spotify is probably the one I’m most attached to.

The US is a broken democracy. But unfortunately right now the only way to salvage anything and even get a chance of reforming it ever, you have to vote for Harris. It’s sad and the rest of the world would be laughing at you if it weren’t this serious for all of us. Please get Harris in and then suggest a move to a more pluralistic, modern democracy after. The other candidates will not matter in the current system. All you do is helping whoever wins.

Thanks!

I LOVED that game as a kid. One of the few games where I enjoyed both vs and coop campaign stuff

Wasn’t MW open-world?

Thanks, I honestly didn’t know! I’ve only really adopted Lemmy for almost daily use a few weeks back and mostly read tech related stuff and it’s been blissfully apolitical for the most part. Some of it is on .ml - I now understand the issue and will look out for it/support communities on other instances where possible.

Stumbled upon it not too long ago but hadn’t yet determined it important enough for me to use yet. But I can see the tech stack looks like something I could get back into. If a fork starts I might finally move my lazy ass to do a PR here or review there. I’ll keep an eye out on it

Huh, interesting! Thanks a lot! I guess I’ll keep reading the communities on lemmy.ml but avoid joining more. And if I ever encounter the issues described I hope I’ll find similar communities elsewhere. So far everything on Lemmy is so much better than in any other platforms that I’m quite happy.

😢

I honestly cannot find it. I find that Hexbear and Lemmigrad are frowned upon (hadn’t previously encountered them), but I actually find a few recommendations about Lemmy.ml. And many of my own subs are from there. I’d really like to understand!

If at all possible, I would recommend you try to find a venting mechanism at work. Even if you can only let out 80% of what’s bottled up.

For me, identifying people I trust and can vent to has always been crucial when joining a new workplace. I consider myself lucky I managed to find that numerous times at clients as a consultant and now even have a manager I can vent to. Mental safety is super important at work and for me that means being able to vent sometimes. I still struggle with letting it slip out in the wrong contexts but I’m getting better.

I see people in that thread recommending to avoid lemmy.ml - what’s up with that?!?

I’d play NFSU in modern graphics! But apparently linear games are not allowed any more and it always has to be open world and come with seasons and DLCs and all that.

Loving Bazzite so far! I think I’ll make the switch on the desktop rig too

I bought an MX3 on a sale when leaving one job that wanted the mouse back and coming to one that didn’t offer one (or maybe I simply wasn’t patient enough?). The next job had an MX2S from a previous employee in the box with factory sealed cheapo mice. Easy choice to go for the used MX. Now I have two! But sometimes I get confused when they’re accidentally in the same place 😅 also love the three channels for pairing to different devices. Even comes in handy on the iPad once in a while.

I had been wondering why the Asperger/ ASD communities on Lemmy are so quiet. Now I’m wondering if we just assume most Lemmy users are ND either way? Sure seems like it with this question.

Also OT: yes, when I was a kid but always brushed it off. Now that I’m recently diagnosed so many things are starting to make sense but I’m still new to this. I guess I’m high functioning and very good at masking.
