I once posted a comment to Reddit that was misinterpreted as supportive of fascism (can’t remember the comment but my wording must have been atrocious), and I experienced online love bombing from Nazis who were trying to recruit me into various groups. They were so nice, apart from the whole Nazi thing! It taught me something about how these groups recruit that I didn’t know before. They start by showering you with compliments and offers of friendship and invitations to join various “exclusive” online groups. If I had been the kind of person they thought I was, it would have felt so good to find all these new friends, much more exciting than just a political affinity. They really try to make you feel you’ve found your people, who value you. Anyway, I never really knew about this side of modern Nazism before. It’s quite culty. I didn’t join up, by the way.
This is why horseshoe theory is wrong, leftists would have engaged in debate until they found an ideological impasse then written you off as the wrong kind of leftist.
Lovely - mods are removing all comments that are pointing out that /u/CaliforniaKove has been spamming multiple instances with the same agenda for days now. I’m guessing pointing out spam and voicing disagreement is not allowed? Better yet, they’re citing community Rule 2, which has to do with reposts and in no way applies to the removed comments. Unless they mean to cite Rule 2 of lemmy.ml, which is also absurd imo considering the shit that regularly gets posted on the instance (of which I’m a member). Normally I don’t removed about getting comments removed, but not allowing people to express frustration with actual spammers, and removing their comments citing an anti-spam rule, is fucked up and smells of agenda pushing vs. actual moderation.
It doesn’t fucking censor swear words. You can say shit and ass and damn. It censors slurs and offensive terms to historically marginalized groups only. It’s just some of them are still so prevalent in our language that people take umbrage to this.
My friend, you’re on lemmy.ml at the moment. No, voicing disagreement is not allowed and you must follow the prescribed narrative and anything that could support that is automatically allowed, that’s what rule 1 and 2 really are, and you should know that.
Ooo, colour me intrigued. I loved the Dungeon keeper games back in the day. Are we talking spiritual successor or just invokes some of the same feelings?
From what I understand, it is a spiritual successor. I don’t know if it’s made by the same people, but the game is similar enough and more polished and modern, to the point where it could pass as a sequel.
Huh, I don’t follow supercomputers very often. I didn’t realize in the last 10 years UNIX dropped off the map of supercomputers entirely in favor of Linux.
For myself, though, not being a big fan of FPS/RTS games, basically anything I play is fine as long as it’s around 30 and most of it is 10+ years old and/or indie game… I’m pretty much in the phase when if the game does not work on my OS (which is barely the case), the game has to go.
It’s rarely the case for me though, last time I really did that was like 7 years ago with Doom 3: I haven’t realized that it’s Windows-only so I ended up asking for money back on Steam. Nowadays, with Steam Deck & Proton it’s not a problem; I actually got Doom 3 on Steam again, and I can play it just fine. (Well, “fine” with the exception that the monsters are scary so I’m scared, but the game is fine!)
I’m not posting this to feel smug, cos I’m not. It’s 100% legit to want your games to look and feel awesome, you deserve that.
I’m posting it just as a flag, that for people with far less demanding taste, Linux is just fine. I can’t think of a game right now that I would want to play so much that I would be willing to install Windows.

Oh, I actually can. Gnomoria. Which is like 10 years old, unfinished (pretty much playable, though) but AWESOME indie , dwar-fortress-inspired colony sim, does technically have Linux build, but the Linux build has a horrible bug where it corrupts your save after getting to a certain advanced point in the game. For that one, my dear beloved Gnomoria, I actually ended up installing Windows 10 in a KVM a year or so ago :-D.
That’s sweet to hear somebody talking about a long-forgotten game like Gnomoria so fondly. I hope somehow that reaches a dev. :D
I have this one sitting in my library too, and it did make me sad that it’s forever unfinished. Didn’t know about that nasty Linux bug! Wish at that point, they would just open source it lol.
In the meantime I’ve really been enjoying Rimworld as a DF-like experience. :)
Most games these days have short marketing cycles. If you’ve played The Outer Worlds or Pillars of Eternity, you’ve got a very good idea of what this game is.
One is a first-person real-time RPG, so if you want to know what it plays like and what the size of that game is, it’s The Outer Worlds. If you want to know what kind of fiction and tone it’s set in, or what the mechanics of certain spells are, your point of reference is Pillars of Eternity.
Well, aren’t most things build to make rich people richer? If you want to start a business, most likely you’ll need (rich) investors. Why would they give you their money if not to get richer?
I’m impressed by what Bitcoin and Ethereum can do, which was earlier not possible (or different). Not so impressed by most other crypto hypes.
I haven’t been personally. I just learned about it and wanted to share, because it’s cool looking. Maybe someone who visited can share their experience.
I looked at some vlogs on yt, and it seems noisy but nothing crazy.
Example: Some random vloggers on the ferris wheel (time stamped), gets louder when they get off the ride.
Most of the place is more of a museum anyway. The one time I visited I mostly remember it being humid and having a surprising amount of unexpected temperature changes in different places. It's definitely a sight, though.
I’m very surprised that a salt mine feels humid. Am I missing something, or shouldn’t salt absorb moisture really well? Did you by any chance ask why it was humid?
I did not, but I took the liberty to assume the huge indoor lake with rowboats in it may have had something to do with that.
Joking aside, I don't know if that was natural or a byproduct of mining, but there is a lot of water in there, to the point where there are salt stalactites all over the place and everything is covered in a thin layer of goopy brine. The entire place looks... slick.
I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux-
That’s the problem, though: a lot of it isn’t GNU, specifically because GNU stuff is GPLv3 and would thus stop the smart TV and IoT device makers from Tivoizing everything all to Hell. Most of that stuff is running bastardized Linux, not GNU/Linux!
A name is just a simple reference to a system composed of interrelated and essential OS components: Kernel, windowing system, networking tools, virtual memory, user interfaces, the list goes on…
Yes GNU is an essential suite of tools but so is X (or Wayland) and many other unnamed yet critical subsystems.
Now GPL licensing on the other hand, THAT is a foundational precept to FOSS that deserves sole credit back to a single project.
The NT kernel in isolation is apparently quite “ok”, from what i have heard of it. It’s the spyware, malware, driver crap (“windows”) running on/using it which is unquestionably totally fucked and disgusting. If they were to FOSS the NT kernel, I could maybe support an such endeavor.
I used to be a Takedown purist; but I kinda lean on the side of Paradise on the other side of having 100%'d the pre-remaster version without the DLCs added and shit. The only place I feel Paradise is lacking is we don’t get Aftertouch anymore, and there’s so many missing takedown types from Takedown and Revenge.
I do love how they created fake manufacturers and models to get around not having to license real-world manufacturers, too.
