Fan of breaking echo chambers by being devils advocate. Other than that, centrist. As in in USA I’d be considered left.

    I can reply to your message when I have the time for it and carry on.

    I can delay the reply if it’s not urgent.

    You can spend time actually writing what you want from me, so I can read it, and give you full answer. We both can then actually recall the conversation because it’s saved.

    And for people saying you can deny the calls - you can, and then you deal with narcissistic assholes having beef with you for doing so.

    Edit: And also about not picking up - with message, your urgency is stated. With calls it is not. If I don’t pick up, who knows how important was the thing you wanted. With message it’s clear as a day from the get go, unless you can’t write for shit.




  • Age is a matter of mentality. If you look at a tree that looks fun to climb and you think “too old for this”, you’re old.

    If you wanna try something new but “you’re too old for this”, you’re old.

    If some kid starts using weird lingo and instead of decyphering it you think “kids are weird”, you’re old. And a hypocrite.

    Of course there’s magic number of 60 year old when your mentality doesn’t matter as your body starts being held with glue, spite and will. I mean you can certainly try to be young but…



  • Honestly, reading comments around, remove display of up/down votes entirely, but keep the system and instead add two tags “Popular” and “Unpopular”, both working on certain tresholds to both amount of votes and ratio of votes. Keep positioning mechanics with using votes to position content, but apply them only to tagged elements.

    This way we enable discussion on most topics without problems and incentivise actually talking about topics, while still keeping the means to flag both bad will content and content most valued by community.

    With Lemmy I’d say having minimum 50 votes total for comment and 100 for post sound good for total vote treshold, while having 75% of upvotes/downotes sounds good as a ratio treshold. But I am not sure on these, as I am honestly freeballin it right now.

    Heck, leave the amount of total votes up to communities - some are bigger, some are smaller after all.

    If that’s the trend of the franchise I sure won’t be touching any of the later ones.

    Good news! It’s prolly not. In an interview I’ve read quite some time ago, creators said that they hit a silly problem of not having path of improving the game because everything works and…well, not much to add.

    So instead they experiment slightly with each version, making small changes every time to create another “flavor” of Civ.






  • Never went with Win 11. Tried jump to Linux, played with it for a week I believe, quite recently. Tinkering aside (mostly due to learning so not so bad, last distro change I got it all up to where I wanted it within an hour after install, because I finally knew what I was doin xD) my main problem is that Linux doesn’t really use my specs well.

    I have an older system and on Windows, I can punch above my league with running shit like Hogwarts Legacy or Fallout 76 on my i5-4460 and GTX 750, while on Mint, CachyOS and Nobara Fallout 76 struggled hard to run fluidly, liked to flicker and freeze, and Hogwarts Legacy couldn’t even get into menu. And I am not really willing to give up on these two for now.

    But other than that I found that no matter the distro, shit just…works. The worst part I think was that drivers for my old GPU are shitty on linux, but if you have in hardware from the last decade, I’d say just try it. All apps and shit you need is mostly handled by package repositories (something like app stores) and if your software isn’t there, check it’s website, maybe they have .deb or .rpm packages which are pretty much Linux .exe files. Or a simple command to download it via terminal.

    I have old Brother printer and even tho Linux community labels it papwerweight, Brother actually has full drivers for linux installed via copy-paste commands they give you on their website. With full instructions how to do it step by step. So really, if you didn’t try it yet, consider.



  • Was raisied with everything - media, people, history teachers - calling them Indians and I automatically look for context each time lol. With no context, native americans are the default for me, with people of India being called simply peopple of India xD

    Doesn’t help my native language has another word for people of India than Indians. xD





  • On the other hand…the same private entity wouldn’t buy the means to produce renewable power if they didn’t want to power their AI center. So in the ends, nothing changes, and the power couldn’t be used for other purposes because it simply wouldn’t be generated.

    However, as they did and are using it to promote themselves, they are influencing others to also adopt renewable energy policy in a way, no matter how small.

    No, normally I am not that optimistic, but I am trying ^^"
