It’s not an age thing, It’s the same reason the internet generally got toxic after a time people who aren’t passionate about things take over and drown out the high effort contributers

mustbe3to20signs , to showerthoughts in If the classic TV show sci-fi trope of eating pills for food had became a reality, would humans overtime no longer be able to chew?

Since mankind mostly decoupled from natural evolution, we wouldn't develop other mouths. But our look would still change because the jaw muscles wouldn't be trained and maybe our facial expression could become very underdeveloped.

If you want to unleash the full potential of an all-flash config and be futureproof, better get one that comes with full width M.2, i.e. x4 with at least PCIe gen 4 connectivity. That only leaves you x86 unless you want something really exotic.

StringPotatoTheory , to gaming in Steam Summer Sale: Hidden Gem/ Recommendations thread

Super Blood Hockey. 80% off, about $3 USD.

It's a very well made pixel art game where you play hockey and you can beat up the other team. There's a franchise mode as well, so you'll want to balance how much fighting you do so your players don't get too hurt. There's local co-op so you can play against friends (or use steam remote play together).

PlateUp!. 40% off, about $11 USD.

Similar to Overcooked but you need to manage your restaurant and make sure you don't fail a single order. It's a rouge-lite, and you can move everything around in your restaurant and you kind of manage the menu as the days go on, but you get a choice whether to add option A or B, so it slowly gets more complicated. Very fun with friends, steam remote play together works here as well.

Bone's Cafe. 30% off, about $11 USD.

Similar to Overcooked and PlateUp!, but I feel like it's more geared towards single player (but there's local co-op as well). You have to manage your restaurant and menu (can make it as easy or complex as you'd like), while also maybe killing customers to harvest them for ingredients :) You can spawn in helpers and you can show them a repetitive task to do and they will do it.

Does it have to be a sbc, or can it also be a mini pc?

I think it’s more just because we’re early adopters and the first wave of refugees.

We’re building something here - and right now, for some it’s a new home, for some of us this is something big - a place that resists monetization. This isn’t just the fresh new version of social media, built by cool people who have the best intentions and a vision (I think most of them did, at least initially)

Admins go bad, already some of the instances I’m on have people starting to look at not just paying for servers, but making a profit. And if they can live off the donations - fine, more power to them.

But when someone comes knocking with a bag of money, what are they going to do? They can sell us out, but they can’t go far before we leave… What do we miss out on? The content will either follow or we’re missing out on content elsewhere.

And we can mitigate it further - too many talented people care too much to let this idea die. We’re going to face difficult times, but it’s a new ephemeral Internet built on top of the one stolen from us - it doesn’t start or end with a reddit clone.

And I think that’s why we care - because this time is different. It can’t go bad the way everything else does. It relies on no one, and it’s built from all of us

This place is ours. No kings, no masters, no capitol, no capital

InfiniteLoop , to linux_gaming in Baldur's Gate 3?

dunno about native, but I played the early access version on my steamdeck and didn’t have any issues. (didn’t go super far into the game, but it definitely runs solid under proton)

I had to think for a minute, I didn’t realise how many of the console’s stand-out titles are Japanese. Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 2, and Driver are my picks.

datawraith , to technology in Megathread for Reddit News & App Shutdowns

I didn't really follow the recent "drama" (for lack of a better term), but I'm glad it came about because it created a lot of buzz on hackernews about reddit alternatives which got me to check out the Fediverse (kbin/lemmy), and a few other alternatives. I really like the look and feel of Discuit, but it's inevitable for it to become essentially another digg v4/reddit 2.0 clone because apart from a nice UI and the creator/owner not being a dick, it's still a centralised forum that will limit or censor discussion at the whims of the owner in the end. I don't want that.

Monomate , to fediverse in PSA: Mastodon is NOT Twitter and does not aim to be.

Ars Technica recently published an article very critical of Mastodon. The main takeaway is the argument that Mastodon won’t scale well to a large userbase, as the more instances there are, the bigger the server burden to everyone. And as most users are against corporate funded instances (they’d defederate from any that emerge), it may be unsustainable mid/long-term.

I wonder if these scaling-issues apply to Lemmy too? The instances make copies of posts/comments from other instances. They copy images too? And videos? If so, I imagine a future where only the bigger and wealthiest instances will survive.

And concerning moderation tools, I know they’ll improve with time. But how can a federated system like Lemmy do certain tasks that Reddit’s Pushshift enabled? Example: bots detecting and deleting re-posts, spam, bad actors across multiple communities, etc.

I was. Then deleted the whole shebang. I rather write idiot comments than be in charge of anything, especially my own personal blog. I’m not interested in any particular niche that you can come chat about tbh. I am, but not really. I just like using lemmy as a journal lol same way I used reddit. But I do appreciate something when I see it. I love the small self starter vibe, and I can sort by all and interact with everything and entertain myself.
