i think the issue is fundamental to the “meta forum” concept both lemmy and reddit share.

when comunitys are small, they mostly consist of people that are intrested, and usually knowledgeable enough to participate in discussion.

but as size and thus discoverability of a community increases, posts start trending more and more.

so less informed, and more reactionairy users (if not straight up trolls) that browse r/all start flooding the posts and dilute propper discourse with bad uninformed takes.

ti;dr essentially, reddit style plattforms turn into twitter for big communities.

thats imo the worst way to start factorio.

a friend of mine tried to introduce me to the game,
but i lost intrest after blue science.

did you try it out by yourself yet?
it only clicked for me,
once i learned the game at my own pace.

never gets old 😂.

didn’t gajin explicitly state that they cant/wont use leaks of classified documents?

Kerb , 9 months ago (edited 9 months ago)

ds2 is imo the easiest in the series,
and the only one ive managed to complete so far.

here’s a bunch of tipps for if you want to try again.

once you beat the last gigant,
talk to melentia untill she moves to majula,
shell sell infinite lifegems.

lifegems are better than estus,
since you can still move, and you can carry 99.

level adp untill you have 99 dex agility,
for iframes on the rolls.

broadsword, longsword, rapier, and mace
are great weapon you can find early on.

ds2 (especially sotfs) relys heavily on ganksquads, and enemys as an obstacle to defend the way to the boss.
you have to lure them out and fight them on your terms, its hard to run past enemys.

you can jump on the balcony on the smelter demon boss run, and skip a lot of pain.

shrine of amana, get a crossbow/bow, and snipe the mages, anything else is pure torment.

bonfire ascetics (and the expanded ng+) are the best features of ds2.
ng+ the bonfire melentia was at,
last gigant and pursuer ng+ are juicy souls if you can beat them, and you can find mats to complete a +7 or even +8 weapon very early.

in theory youre right.

but meat industry lobbyists woud surely try to take advantage of the outrage.

i vaguely remember a post on reddit on this topic.

something like “artesinal celebrety meat”

which of course turned out to be an “artistic project” or something trying to
“highlight the moral issues” with lab meat,
or some other horseshit.

EDIT: here’s the post i was talking about

Kerb , 10 months ago (edited 1 month ago)

im staying optimistic, as long as it will be cheaper, the fastfood industry will massivly lobby in favor of it, and imo. mostly balance that out.

it will probably just have an awfull reputation, like mcnuggets “pink sludge”

Kerb , 10 months ago

i kinda doubt you are talking about the same people here(mostly)

at least id say im a “tech bro” not a hipster.

i never gave a shit about “all natural” stuff, i dont care about msg, preservatives or Transglutaminase (a.k.a. Meat Glue)

heck, i even thought that “pink sludge” is kinda based, when i first learned of it.

Kerb , 10 months ago

oof, i still remember the one where a guy pulled out balcony railing posts with seemingly no effort.

it was high up too, at least 20th floor.

yeah a lot of the meaningless chatter just isnt established here.

i kinda think that not having a summarized carma score prevents a lot of it.

but i also feel, that this kind of suff is slowly creeping in with the migration of more users.

unfortunately, there is no need for endusers to see an advantage.

there will be an immediate disadvantage to not having it once content wont load without it.

i fear that the pressure of youtube utilizing it, would be enough to convince most users to use it.

also, most users probably wont even know they use it,
chrome alone has a 65% 85% market share.

its the platform providers wholl have to weight excluding at most 35% 15% of their users against the benefits of drm.

and with potential support from any chromium derivatives, that number gets lower.

not to mention, that some of these 35% 15% may switch browsers in order to access the content.

EDIT: safari also uses it, so its about 85% not 65%

or am i mixing something up

holy shit,
and its literally just some lead mineral (lead Apatite)

Not only would it be a gigantic breakthrough,
it sounds almost affordable compared to rare earths (afaik Apatite can be lab grown)

i sure hope it turns out true after peer review

because of cotton cultivation

i settled on fedora kde a few years ago(altho i recently switched to fedora silverblue kde)
imo a nice middleground.

if you are intrested in immutable distros, i can recommend silverblue (not as drastic of a change compared to nixos)

if you are intrested in nixos package management, you might want to try out the nix package manager on your current distro.

an intresting way to get the fresh but stable system you want is to,
install some rock solid distro like debian,
and then use the nix package manager and/or flatpacks to get the fresh software you want.

😂 utf-8 is great isn’t it.

Its meant to be a text format capable of displaying all writing systems.
from mandarin to sumerian cuneiform,
or obscure stuff like alchemy notations.

its also what allows you to post emojis on every modern website.

and whenever issues arise:
X is not working,
what are we even paying you for?

Kerb , 11 months ago

afaik that should work,

running the software in wine/lutris could be an simpler solution

Kerb , 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago)

i avoided flatpacks before.
but now that i tried out silverblue and had to rely heavily on them,
i have to admit that flatpacks are not nearly as bad as i thought.

the only issues i encountered are with steam (might not start propperly on first launch)
and with ides(terminal starts inside the sandbox)

other than that it works great.

Kerb , 11 months ago (edited 11 months ago)

there are ways to speed up dnf.

id try adding: max_parallel_downloads=10 and fastestmirror=true to your /etc/dnf/dnf.conf

before you distro hop.

kinda goofy that its not the default tho.

EDIT: since its more about search, maybe try adding metadata_expire=2d aswell

imo mastadon wont suddenly become “state-run media” just because Goverment instances exist.

there are .gov email adresses already, and emails are pretty far from state-run.

since there is (afaik) no verification on mastadon, ill assume that theyll use the goverment instances to prove that @official is legit.

Kerb , 11 months ago

they are doing that already with secureboot.

altho i fortunatley haven’t encountered machines yet where you can’t disable it.

From what i get,

It seems like they are pissed at oracle specifically,
Selling a oracle branded rhel clone with minor tweaks and a oracle certified sticker.

And the other downstream distros are just collateral damage.

Obviously wouldn’t make it better
