Being honest, a lot of it probably is because Lemmy is so small. I’ve subscribed to basically every even vaguely relevant community to me, and I still only get about a half-dozen posts a day in my subscribed feed.
The world is falling appart around us. Men don’t have community, often lack education and don’t see a real future anyway.
Two of the most obvious results of this are loneliness and lack of opportunity. Andrew Tate and many of the other right wing grifters flaunt having (at least superficially) both of these in spades. Its no wonder that those who are desperate or stupid (or both) would follow him.
Excluding email, nope. Seeing as no one else in my friend group uses Federated services, and they’re all still too small to cover most niches, there isn’t really anything for me.
Mechanical complexity as in the amount of stuff to learn to “actually play” Minecraft, aside from the controls. For example, which resources are which, what crafts into what, and how to find and gather everything. Its easy enough to punch wood, but trying to figure out (and then remember) how to craft tools or farm food while also trying to remember how to position your fingers on the keyboard is a much bigger ask.
Its going to be a lot harder to play Deep Rock Galactic or Portal 2 together if she sticks with her current perfered movement method: click and drag with the mouse.
Bears are predators evolved to hunt large game, primarily with brute force (unlike something like a big cat, which relies much more on ambushes).
Gorrilas, as tough as they are, survive through intelligence. This means avoiding tough fights, and when absolutely needed, fighting as a troop rather than individualy.
So bear. But…
Does the Gorilla get time to prepare?
The one advantage gorillas have is their intelligence. If both animals are given training, or tools, then I could see the gorilla potentially winning - mostly because a bear will struggle to get any use out of either, whereas a gorilla could be trained to fight much more effectively and possibly even make/use weapons.
Isn’t StartPage just Google’s results, but less personalized?
Honestly, I don’t completely get it myself. While yes, a lot of bots are unhelpful clutter like remindme bot, or low quality garbage like most LLM bots, there are many that are genuinely really useful or moderate enough to be funny and unobtrusive. I guess its probably just a mix of annoyance at their frequent overuse, and the pretentious attitude Lemmy often has.
As is, its already very easy to make bots for the Fediverse, and there is pretty good support for it. The limit is just a lack of interested users, and a general dislike of bots here - esspecially novelty ones.
Tip: if you trust yourself to keep track of stuff, you can just use another password for these fields. I know this is pretty common knowelege in the privacy space, but a lot of people never think of it.
Is the US really that central to PC component manufacturing, or is this (mostly) just a US thing? Like, don’t get me wrong, I know a lot of these companies are US-based, but isn’t basically all the manufacturing and most of the distribution handled elsewhere?
It was a lot of fun. Basically, everyone got Mad Max versions of some of the normal light vehicles for the event, and were dropped into a large desert map. Then, you had to collect different materials (one of which is earned from kills only) and get to an extraction point. Anyone who is killed drops their loot on death. The loot was used to progress a mini-tech tree, upgrading the event vehicles and unlocking non-event cosmetics.
Honestly, last year’s (the Mad Max extraction shooter) was really fun. I ground my way through most of that just for fun.
War Thunder’s event this year is pretty tame compared to normal, but its still fun.
First, they released a trailer for infantry in their vehicle combat game. This turned out to be a misdirection, and instead, they released an event adding WW1 vehicles.
The event itself is a weird, misbalanced, buggy mess, moreso that normal War Thunder, and moreso than you would expect making experimental anti-infantry vehicles fight each other. That said, its a fun novelty nonetheless.
Play audio through my mobo’s built-in 3.5mm jack (without a significant delay). For whatever reason, Mint just really didn’t like my mobo, and no one was able to figure it out.
Sorry for pulling you back to an old thread, but you wouldn’t happen to have any other ideas, would you? Since before, I’ve tried everything you suggested and switched VPN. Its an A53, so it really shouldn’t be having trouble with memory or such.
I also found this older Reddit thread which describes basically the same thing, but all the comments are removed, if that helps: https://old.reddit.com/r/nordvpn/comments/t8t1hf/connectivity_issues_with_new_phone_android/
And after hours of troubleshooting, you give in and join the Discord where you’re promptly ignored.
Or if you’re really lucky, people are willing to help, so you spend hours more troubleshooting, often repeating many of the same steps, only for all of them to give up too. (As was my experience when I tried to switch to Linux Mint.)
Isolated as in only used by a specific region or culture. So in Weibo’s case, only in China with little connection to other countries. Another example would be 2Go, which was quite popular in Africa for years, but unlikely be to be known from anyone outside the region.
Stuff like Weibo are what I was refering to when I was saying more isolated platforms. A lot of regions have their own smaller social media platforms dominated by one or two cultures. As for Instagram and Facebook, those two are largely world-wide but often (again, massive generalization) less ubiquitous compared to social media in the west.
Honestly, I’d be curious how many active users we actually have. I wouldn’t be suprised if it was fewer than 1000 who contibute (including just voting) when excluding the authoritarian instances and spam.
Do any instances publish these stats?
