foggy , to mildlyinfuriating in McDonald's Experience by non McDonald's patron.

I hate the kiosks. But, they are money makers.

As much as I agree that they create shitty experience, they generate so much more dollars per order than having a human take the order that they are never going to leave.

dmtalon OP ,

Not that I was there to begin with, but they 100% will push my parents out of there as they do not want to deal with them. I would think their primary long term customers were boomers, and they’re gonna reject Kiosks.

foggy ,

The kiosks are basically what keeps them afloat. All other fast food places are following suit due to their overwhelming financial success.

I think the /c/ in your climate town link is messing up my client (Alexandrite). For others who experience the same, here’s an alternate URL: www.youtube.com/

Also good channels for city planning topics and bicycle commuting are:
• NotJustBikes
• Shifter

He’s such a great speaker, and does a such a great job at telling people the facts but keeping it light. He’s had direct changes in my life, I’m currently working on removing natural gas from my home thanks to his info.

@Dr_01000111@lemmy.blahaj.zone avatar

a lot of people base there personality off it because they installed it from scratch and customize it exactly how it fits them. ofcorse that’s not going to be everyone because everyone is different.

PeriodicallyPedantic , to lemmyshitpost in This is so freaking funny to me. I love Lemmy

Dude says it like that’s not the origin of 90% of memes.

Maven , to asklemmy in What is your favorite YouTube channels?

Internet Today is a great news channel. Based guys too.

It’s like having 2 friends to watch the end of the world with.

Andrzej , (edited ) to linux in So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

I’m trying out Arch on my laptop atm, and tbh the only real advantage (at least for me) is that the packages tend to be a lot fresher than on Debian-based distros. The question is how many of your packages you really need to be that fresh.

I think a lot of Arch users feel like wizards because they connected to the home wifi using the command line, but if you’ve tinkered with (/broken then had to fix lol) other distros, you will have done all this stuff before

floofloof ,

I find OpenSUSE Tumbleweed a good solution for up-to-date packages without slow install times or hours spent compiling and configuring things. It’s straightforward but current.

LastoftheDinosaurs , to asklemmy in What are your favorite open-source games?
@LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com avatar

CrossCode is really good, but it isn’t free. I need to look through my Steam library to see which other games might be open source too. This is the only one I’m aware of, really. ProtonDB might have a list of games that are open source. It’s a great resource for checking compatibility if you’re playing on Linux.

blind3rdeye ,

CrossCode is fantastic. But it is not an open source game.

LastoftheDinosaurs ,
@LastoftheDinosaurs@reddthat.com avatar

Oh, I always thought it was open source for some reason.

JohnDClay , to nostupidquestions in Where should I upload short videos to post them to Lemmy?

I didn’t know if .world or .dev allow it, but .works let you upload short videos directly I think, at least they used to.

But hotlinking I think would be best. Firefox usually lets you copy the source link, but idk which formats and sites integrate well with Lemmy.

GammaGames , to books in 'The Temple' by HP Lovecraft was written in 1920 but the U29 U-boat wasn't built until 1936, can anyone explain?

vs

en.wikipedia.org/…/German_submarine_U-29_(1936)

(I haven’t read the story nor do I know anything about submarines so I could be wrong, I just did some googling)

they would probably be very quiet about it irl and post paragraphs about it later that day

Zozano ,
@Zozano@lemy.lol avatar

It’s nice that you think I’ve got enough self control to wait for later in the day.

The moment the confrontation ends I’ll be writing my totally unbiased account of events on r/AITA so I can get immediate vindication.

Zozano ,
@Zozano@lemy.lol avatar

Well, I wouldn’t be as snarky about it because getting heated IRL is inconvenient.

But I’ve got no problem telling someone to fuck off if they imply something I said is offensive when it is obviously not conveyed in any context where offence would be justified.

SentientFishbowl OP ,

Thanks for pointing this out.

booty ,
@booty@hexbear.net avatar

Of course! Thanks for being cool. It always sucks to learn a term you’ve been using has a shitty meaning you didn’t intend, and some people react to that realization quite poorly as we can see below lol

lemmyvore ,

Ricing comes from car customization. It’s only racist if you make it racist.

It’s like saying “bad driver”, it’s racist if you say “all Asians are bad drivers” or mysoginist if you say “all women are bad drivers” but “bad driver” by itself is none of that.

booty ,
@booty@hexbear.net avatar

It comes from racist car customization slang, yes.

Nemo , to patientgamers in I know this is PatientGamers, but can we discuss how even the current generation of consoles seems to ask for patience as they aren't that many games 4 years after their release?

I have a Switch, which has hundreds of games and great couch coöp. I can’t speak to most of the other concerns except creativity, and to that I say: Any platform open to indie devs is one that won’t suffer from lack of creativity. You’ll have to deal with Sturgeon’s Law, but that was always true.

Blaze OP ,

Thank you for your comment. The Switch is indeed a the nice exception of this generation.

themoonisacheese ,
@themoonisacheese@sh.itjust.works avatar

I don’t know what this sub’s view on that is, but a hacked switch is especially nice, since usually the latest releases won’t be cracked right away but older ones will be

fmstrat ,

Have I stumbled upon the only Switch comment about indie that doesn’t have a Steam Deck response?

Wait… What have I done…

mossy_ ,

Part of the value of the Switch is being able to put it in the dock and connect to TV. It’s a lot harder to co-op when you only have the little screen.

fmstrat ,

I mean, I’m all for play what you want, thus my joke, but the SD can do that, too.

mossy_ ,

oh I never hear people talk about docking their steam deck! Thats very enticing.

Ledivin ,

People are mentioning handheld consoles when talking about handheld consoles? So weird.

TheRealKuni , to asklemmy in Most enjoyable content for the least amount of storage

I don’t think it’s got quite as much bang for buck as an ebook or Tetris, but .kkrieger is a first-person shooter with multiple weapons, multiple enemies, multiple levels, sound effects, and music, and only takes up 97,280 bytes of disc space.

Pretty remarkable piece of software engineering.
