sin-a-tar just because it seems right, even though the spelling clearly indicates otherwise.

One of the main storyline NPCs is a well thought out and respected trans individual.

Seems like they put about as much thought into the naming as the JKR put into naming a lot of her non-white characters…

Basically all megacorporations do that to everyone. Treating humans as just another sort of capital is a basic part of their existence. Doesn’t mean you should ignore the problems of funding these people.

Does everyone eventually end up using the crabs bathroom?

One time I was with some of my friend’s family and his uncle spoke to me in Spanish, and I responded in English, but that was still enough to surprise my friend’s cousins. That in a part of the US where like half the people speak Spanish, yet it somehow is that uncommon for white people to know even the basics of Spanish.

I know someone whose supervisor tells them to drive in circles are the warehouse, wasting money, for the cameras because higher up people also have nothing better to do than watch the cameras and pretend to be busy by complaining about the actual workers not pretending to be busy.

Another way to differentiate would be things like rendering technology. While raytracing is starting to be partially utilized a little bit, I’d hardly say it’s taken over yet, so there’s not much technological difference between a 360 and a PS5. Mostly boils down to more cores and faster with some minor extra features. Far more difference between even the SNES and the N64 than between the PS1 and the PS5 imo.

You could also use Internet access as a determinant, but then even snes and Sega Genesis wouldn’t be retro (at least in Japan).

Could just define retros as anything that fits at least one or 2 of those 4 characteristics of retro video game consoles, but the xbox360 is pretty much modern by all of them.

If they know what email and reddit it are, Lemmy should be pretty easy to understand, at least from a user-perspective. Replace reddit with Twitter/Bluesky for mastodon, Instagram for pixelfed, etc, etc. I don’t think understanding how email works at a tech level is important for being able to use it. Ditto for fediverse.

But what if you also are forced married to the security first?

That your busy checking your emails

Around 30yo NB - Armpit, maybe bra-strap length if straightened - would like it longer, but no clue how much.

I just gave up on reviewing my own work and just tried to do good enough that “careless errors” were most of my point losses, but that wasn’t so much that it was a problem.

I thought he got famous for anti-semetic jokes he made in his late-20’s.

Twitch streamer rather than Youtuber and not broadly popular either afaik (but was decently well known within the niche community), but Dode. Was also an SMWcentral mod. Kept platforming certain transphobes and eventually got kicked from his mod position and then banned and the community distanced themselves and he quit streaming. Seems like he also got banned on speedrun.com?

Probably not surprising that a community full of trans and other LGBT persons isn’t decided they don’t like transphobia?

Given my consumption of video games tends to be through small twitch streams and the streams I watch tend to play lots of indie stuff, I at least get the impression that Indie games are what I hear and know most about. Like, I didn’t even know Astro Boy was a 3d platformer until I saw it being speedrun at GDQ this winter.

I feel like the huge success of games like Balatro shows how indies already have a lot of peer to peer spread. That said, I suspect there is a luck component to going viral and that other solid indie games are being ignored for mediocre AAA games. But it’s hard for me to tell how popular games like Uncle Chop’s or Cobalt Core are because I see far more people playing them than I do people playing games like Star Citizen or even Black Myth Wukong.

That said, there certainly are some indies that are hardware intensive, but I don’t think I’ve seen any that are GPU intensive. But simulation games like Dyson Sphere Program and Stonehearth certainly can benefit from a beefier CPU or extra RAM (the latter partly due to a memory leak).

Nowadays, its spread to other things like blaming them for heart problems, GI tract issues, etc. People who were infected with covid, some multiple times, are blaming vaccines for various health issues they’re developing and refuse to accept that maybe the full-blown infection that nearly got them hospitalized could have just as well been the cause. Or just something that would have happened as they aged regardless.

Same reason why the removal of solar panels from the white house matters: it chills future action out of fear that those who follow will just destroy it. The 8000 that already existed is nothing, but the US government is one of the largest employees.

any of the tens (hundreds?) of alternative servers that offer literally exactly the same thing.

Awesome Lemmy Instances shows nearly 500 and its outdated.

Some people pay a lot of attention to what instances people are from. I think I’ve had someone who jumped to negative assumptions about me because of what instance I’m using and I think I might have seen like one person from this instance - I pretty much never see people using the same instance, so its weird imagining someone seeing it enough to have an assumption about the users.

There are some servers that are a bit more tight-knit (hexbear comes to mind).
