Hogwarts is fun for about 30 hours roleplaying as a wizard, as a casual potter fan. I got really bored of it after that and never finished the game. At its core it really is very generic, it’s really propped up by the IP. That’s not to say it’s bad by any means but its not got the depth of Zelda.
I mean there are also other countries in the world with various varieties of conservatives but I see your point
I mean, while that could be correct I also consider that if far right spaces get banned regularly then those people are refugees that will invade the next closest thing?
Obviously the next closest thing to far right, is center right. Does that make the center right inherently bad? I don’t think so necessarily on principle.
I disagree with conservative views almost entirely but its not something that I believe shouldn’t have discussion spaces, unlike far right politics which can just get fucked with their disdain for basic human rights, they don’t deserve a seat at the table at all.
I suppose ultimately it’s down to moderation isn’t it. If conservatives want a seat at the table they have to keep their lunatics in check and if they don’t then yeah don’t see why I should cry over it really, and thats true of all online communities.
I mean honestly it’s probably near impossible to discuss conservative politics online these days without the far right loonies invading, taking over and getting the place banned lol.
Also I wonder if conservatives would be put off lemmy given the political stance of its creators - even though that shouldn’t matter being free and open and not controlled by any one person, you know how people are.
Yeah honestly I can see why manufacturers are so reluctant to put replaceable batteries in phones. It’s one of the main reasons people upgrade these days.
They have the handy excuse that it’s to make the phone waterproof and they will die on that hill it seems!
Yeah I mean the processing power and general hardware just got to a point where nobody really needs more. In fact my 4 year old phone has the same amount of RAM and similar processor to my new one lol. Unless you’re cutting edge 3D gaming it’s not needed to have anything more.
I upgraded only because of battery life, higher Hz screen, newer android version, and to get a wide angle lens. Now I have those even its like…what next? Camera quality is all I ever need, screen Hz is perfect. I’m not sure what will make me upgrade next time but if I replace battery down the line and use a third party OS then maybe it’ll go even longer!
Yep, in the UK it’s part of the theory test, you have to know how and when to check air and fluid levels in order to get a licence.
Where are you from where those things are not part of a driving test?
Yeah good point. They are just stress testing, for free. Legends.
Yeah as I discovered in another comment chain it’s more than reddit had in 2020 even which was ‘only’ 5.5 million daily - the chart unfortunately is rather confusingly labeled and useless and represents total comments and not daily. I can only assume a random bot spike happened or something.
Cue the world’s smallest violin. Not sure how this is any consumer’s problem lol.
Maybe, just maybe, advertising needs to become more carefully selected and regulated rather than the clown fiesta it has been since the dawn of the internet where Google and friends want to ‘set and forget’ and milk money for eternity.
But you know the reaction won’t be sensible lol, instead we will get an AI arms race of AI adverts vs AI advert reviewers.
These papers and the people who write them truly are insane. I had the English version of the paper through my door the other week and you would think it’s satire It’s so ridiculous.
These far-right loony circle-jerks would be fascinating if they weren’t so troubling.
I guess if you’re just looking for a generic reddit-like experience then .world for now seems to do the job just fine. Ultimately it has admins that can choose to de-federate from any other server and they may do that to ones you would rather they didn’t. Every server is going to be somewhat unique on that front with their own set of rules to follow (or not).
It’s really interesting because it always will become somewhat political - with servers that have a tendency for more extreme views whether right or left wing, where do you draw the line before deciding to cut them off? That has already been happening in the short time I joined with servers like Hexbear which I honestly still don’t fully understand the history and complexity of the situation.
My plan so far at least is to keep an eye on the lemmy.world announcements subreddit and if they do anything that I disagree with too much then I can move on elsewhere but I’m quite happy letting others do that level of curation for now at least without keeping too much of a close eye.
You visit that server directly and create a new account and log in with that. There is no way to ‘switch’ although I think people have created ways to migrate your subscriptions etc over to a different server.
Reddit probably thinks it won. They killed all the apps and now they will increasingly force feed monetisation down the necks of the userbase until everyone decides to leave just like they left Facebook.
Which is their goal too probably that’s how IPOs go, and how corporations handle tech companies, buy it milk it and let it die. Nobody cares about long term It’s all about profit this quarter then ditch the shares to the next sucker.
Reddit will go the same way as Facebook. Never die, but it will be like visiting a retirement village.
Can’t tell if you are being serious or pulling my leg with that but I love it haha. I mean it’s a perfect way to distinguish because over here we have no good way to call the spiders other than ‘one of those long leg small body kinda spiders’ which is a terrible name.
Yeah it’s a tricky one isn’t it. There hopefully will become a better solution for helping people onboard to different servers that suit them but without making too big of a hurdle.
I must admit I joined .world without understanding anything and it was prompted to me so yeah the default choice has a big say. I have donated to server costs though, felt like I should do my part at least!
You know I did actually question myself when I wrote that haha, but I went with it anyway.
I mean the definition could still probably apply though perhaps under the logic that the developer has nothing to do with the development of Lemmy. He is just a third party to it. The lack of a first party doesn’t change that Sync is a third party, maybe…
Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things.
The chart is for ‘all servers’ already supposedly rather than from the perspective of a single instance though so would that be possible? Or can an instance exist sort of privately and then become visible causing a spike?
Eh I dunno, I got bored of it before I finished the story or explored the other half of the map. Feels like a bit of a failing there. 30 hours would be fine if it was a fully contained experience.
