How was quake 2 bland? It was grim, fast paced. Had hours of gameplay and some large maps. The multiplayer was pretty good too.
It was my first multiplayer game though, so i’m definately biased, but it did so much more with basic hardware back in the day. And the custom map auto downloading and servers were great.
A much better introduction to multiplayer gaming then some of the stuff today.
Someone just repeated the PR of a bamboo company :x
I mean I love my bamboo bedsheets/covers.pillowcases and I rave about them to anyone, always IRL, but they were SO SO expensive.
It’s that TheDude abides, man.
I understand some of those words.
But together, that means little.
If only I could figure out how dinasaurs were related to this…
I have set a 0 minute timer on Boost and Infinity, so I can’t navigate to reddit. On the first day of blackout I had to open reddit to try and find the name for lemmy, squabbles and raddle so I had some alternatives as I couldn’t remember them!
I have opened and closed youtube way too many times. It’s been tough. I even went to 4chan after many year last night. A real blast from the past.
Full relapse yesterday.
I’m hoping to do better today.
We so need a RedditsAnonymous!
Wow, there are so many instances.
One day there’ll need to be some method of recording various biases within it.
I’m glad that’s not my responsibility!
How do you check this? And is it banned via the instance “sh.itjust.works” for example, or is it banned via the “subreddit” equivalent, for want of the accurate name?
I think it’s because people nowadays are brought up to to ***follow ***what they read.
There is so much importance of memorising facts one is informed like a computer, then alongside this, are informed by media and abrihamic based religions repeatedly, that life is binary good and bad.
And as such, when an average reader attempts to criticise China, or Israel, UK or US present governmental practices for instance, they struggle to not generalise and lump government, people, race, and more all into one.
To educate massess of people into being able to criticise policy is a surefire way to get the masses to be critical of the practices of a present government, and get you out of power.
Binary identity politics however, will keep you there, in power, forever.
Something about reading a person with no power feeling responsible for the practices of the upper echelons of power and control makes me feel sad. Like the propaganda worked or something. I feel like there’s a parallel to the environmental accountability. I can’t remember the name of the approach, but it’s very much a thing that:
Where one has power and control in minority, instead of dealing with it, make it seem as though the wide majority without power, control or benefit of X is in fact responsible for X, and they should feel bad and take accountability for X. Even though the unfortunate majority had no say in how the runnings of it were decided.
-edit-
Thank you for posting that link, it was a good story.
I can’t believe I saw a meme that said, “Guess which community he moderated in 2008” And the answer was r/jailbait. I mean jesus christ! Now HE is the CEO, fuck that.
Hardly dumb. Offer a free and open space you secretly have a back door into and let it get populated. This happens all the time. A recent example would be some crypto exchanges that were secure and anonymous that suddenly disappeared with all the accounts.
I’m sure you can think of other examples too!
-edit- At first I thought it was just satire, related to “communism” thing, more just anti Laissez-faire monopoly capitalism(yes I had to google how to spell that repeatedly!). But…wow, I’m the one that is nieve it seems!
I had been playing Everspace 2 after waiting years. But, there’s something about it that just feels a bit empty and repetitive at the same time? Also I had played **Deathstranding **and that has been fun, but I haven’t opened it in like 2 months now D: Also I really want to play continue Half-Life Alex, its so good, but I’ve been struggling not just lying down and watching youtube/reddit.
One day I’ll play Cyberpunk2077, i’m looking forward to that, I keep hearing little tidbits getting fixed every few months. Anyone started that recently?
But now you are asking for the equivalent of every reddit user to make their own subreddit, host it and curate a feed to it, so they can browse it.
I mean sure, but it’d be like saying, you don’t like the options for food, so grow your own, the seeds are there. You may want some junk food, but you may also want some organic vegitable produce or something inbetween. Supermarkets are double edges sowrds with everything inbetween, but to open your own/grow your own/source your own from the bulk suppliers, although possible, is astronomically more man hours of curation time.
But with all that said, the initial and I think leading point of the post was not the indivdual filtering, but rather, that they think a divide and conquer approach would be most effective against a Fediverse. Where one would want to prevent the expansion and adoption of a fediverse as a threat of info hoarding.
I’d be inclined to agree that as pack animals a NT person is going to want to group up in the largest instance. So, the larger the instance, the more likely they are going to want to join it. And should it get huge amounts of people, they’d get fomo.
If there are as many instances as there are subreddit equivalents, for want of the accurate name, people just wont bother that much, no?
