What. Why. That makes no sense.

Linux is the most widely used OS in the world, if you include servers.

If servers’ OSes can’t be legally used in California anymore, that would be funny.

Linux distributions should react by asking users to confirm they’re not in California. They’ll backpedal fast.

He’s only 66?! Damn, he looks 80.

Well there’s a focus on American events, American billionaires, and the distinctly American flavour of extreme policing

A lot of people are against it because they see it as the first step towards evil, but I still think we should have some sort of recommendation algorithm. New content discovery on Lemmy is way too manual for normies like me.

The sign-up process should be streamlined. It’s really intimidating to have to choose an instance when you don’t even understand what the heck that is. And then there’s the manual account validation. I’m not sure what the solution is but we might want to find one.

And we need to do something about the extremists. They have a right to exist, but the abnormally high prevalence of American-coded communist/anarcho-communist content that just casually talks about executing the rich and the like is weird and intimidating even to me, a decidedly left-wing person. Americans, who are famously doubtful of communism, probably run away from the platform seeing that. And as for non-Americans… Well the proportion of content that’s specifically about American politics is even higher than on Reddit, which is saying something.

More focus on open-world titles and games as a service? Every time I think they’ve hit the bottom, they manage to dig deeper.

Oh, you don’t need the music to need to shout. The high ceiling achieves that by itself. Echo, space to fill, or something. Not to knowledgeable about acoustics.

I really wish they made restaurants with low ceilings. You take the tallest people who are likely to come, you add maybe 30 cm, and that’s more than high enough, right? No, they’ve gotta have ceilings so high they could genuinely fit two floors in the one they have. It’s a waste of space, too.

Honestly they should lend their branding to an energy drink brand. Wouldn’t it sell well?

Kinda nice but I would have never guessed

How do you do another level?

The bad part isn’t the number of votes. That’s barely relevant.

The bad part is what happens when the budget bill doesn’t pass. There are two valid possibilities:

• The previous year’s budget is provisionally renewed as-is until an agreement is reached
• The non-passing of the bill acts as a vote of no confidence against the government and elections are held. In the mean time, the previous year’s budget is provisionally renewed as-is.

Shutting down funding for government services is an incredibly dumb way to handle it.

You think they can’t redirect their ludicrous police forces (including ICE) to brutalize millions? Don’t underestimate fascism.

The soot.

They’re a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can’t quite get around to throwing away

Very post-apocalyptic picture. Excellent.

Maybe there should be a mechanism for merging communities across instances.

If two communities set out with the same goal in a community and one of them didn’t get very popular, wouldn’t it be nice if they could come to an agreement to merge the communities and share the hosting burden?

I wish it were true, but no, not really.

Sometimes they’re desaturated.

Sometimes they’re 3:4.

Sometimes they’re straight-up black and white.

Changing something about the appearance of of the image is done often. But I don’t think blurry would do unless it’s a really short flashback. It would either look like a mistake (camera not in focus for instance), not be intense enough to be apparent on smaller or lower resolution TVs, or be distracting and annoying to the viewer (say, some sort of foveated motion blur).

Because my PC is an entertainment box. I don’t want to turn it into a problem to solve.

Also, Nvidia.
