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

  • 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 ^^"

    What convenience does a digital wallet add that a card cannot do

    Be part of phone. People don’t like cash cuz you have to lug it around. People are dropping cards for digi wallet because then they don’t have to lug card around.

    isn’t a digital wallet way less safer given that mobile platforms are the least secure ?

    No one outside of lemmy cares.


  • For fun with words:

    • Niemcy - polish for Germans
    • Niemcy - polish for Germany
    • Niemy - polish for mute
    • Jadę do Niemiec - “I am riding to Germany”
    • Jadę z niemcami - “I am riding with germans”
    • Jadę z niemcem - “I am riding with a german”
    • Jadę z Niemczech - “I am riding from Germany”
    • Jadę z niemym - “I am riding with a mute”

    I wonder how confusing these are for people not speaking polish xD


  • About 76, because it gets a lot of outdated hate…

    76 today I feel is mostly exploration + F4 tweaked building system minus settlers. I got it almost for free and tempered my expectations…and what I got positively surprised me. The world is beautiful in F76, building feels good (more limited than in F4, but at the same time more personal, usable and fun IMO).

    It’s basically Wild Wasteland the game. There is some story, it’s better story than F4 from my perspective but in such amounts it may as well not exist. Oh and atom shop does not, in fact, require you to buy shit -.-’ Almost all of it is tied to building, and you can get currency in-game.

    It’s fun. Beautiful view wise, immersive world wise, and somewhat emptish. Online elements are easy to ignore - mostly it’s events in which I didn’t partake for a long time due to being busy exploring.

    I rambled again :( It’s just that F76 went a long way but everyone shits on it :(





    1. I wonder how many enemies Dell made with that lol
    2. AI chatbots work as customer side if implemented well (if chatbot does not have options, it won’t work well) and if customers don’t knee-jerk into repeating they want human without checking it’s options first (which, understandably, came from dealing with badly implemented chatbots). Their search is quite alright for polling public opinions (useful for example if you are lazy and wanna find overall popular film from some genre - it can summarise reddit, google, few review sites and spit the effects at you).

    I know, I know. We are anti-AI here. But please, don’t be simply cynic. This tech has it’s uses, but is so badly used across everything that it’s hard not to be negative of it.
