TikTok does not show you “everyone”. It teaches us an algorithm can addict you to a carefully selected set of short 6 second clips. People watch their little bubble thinking they saw everyone without even realizing 👁🗨

Can cows eat straw? Or can they only eat Hay & enjoy that more?

But why is it a camel in the saying 🐫? Why not a horse, cow, ox…

People need to think about the crazy potential of geothermal energy in general. Thanks for bringing that up 🌋 . But the problem here: How do we get the Pizza down there 🍕. Folding the Pizza through a Borehole 🗼? How stable is the temperature at 100°C spots?

No other gaming company seems to do as much for open source as Valve. Microsoft finances its closed source XBox platform, Sony does the same with Playstation. Epic? Nope.

this is why you should always use localhost 😉

Hate that aspect of social networks as well. Someone has to moderate manually in the end, once a community is not finely curated. Since that is not pleasant experience.

Thats why I Love the idea that users have to show some merit before allowed to join a community. But that kind of system does not scale well. And social networks usefulness is all about scale. There are contradicting forces at play here.

For Videos I can get it, since that costs much storage and bandwidth for the host 🎞️. But for raw text/html? No.

Can someone tell me what happens if my Lemmy instance host shuts down 💀? Will my posts be deleted?

With the mass adaption of discord these kind of “nice search engine finds 🔍” will become rare again.

And I heard that reddit also has a special search engine deal with google while blocking others?

Awesome onion service! Does anyone else know of other lemmy instances hosted over tor? Only found this conversation discussing lemmy instances over .onion, and only this hackliberty instance was mentioned …

I heard someone say that the bot problem is fixed now? Anyone can confirm?

• I wonder how durable Valves anti Bot fix is, how intrusive it is and if it has some failure rate (false positives, banning legit players for cheating).

Their facial expressions remind me of the team fortress movie “Emesis Blue”

I agree that shutting down a games servers while leaving a singplayer mode still can be a bad move and will give team fortress 2 as an example.

• people can buy cosmetics in the game, but some may only buy them for their appearance on the multiplayer servers to other players
• 90% of the games depth with strategy comes from competing with other humans
• the bots in the singleplayer mode of the game are quite stupid, especially if you play as a spy

If a game has a mode that works in singleplayer without itnernet connection is it covered by this initiative? Since that would not require further support by the developer?

lmao this is the funniest name I heard for the rainbow Pentagram surrounded by a rainbow Pentagon.

“You can not buy intelligence”

But the product of appearing intelligent is sold: private Education. Also you need to be able to afford the right condition: Not starving to death to appear intelligent, afford food & afford some water without lead contamination (since lead in the water lowers IQ), lead pipes where used for drinking water in poorer areas … Also research and innovation costs lot of upfront capital investment and connections nowadays.

Yep I had a cheap no-name trumpet, it rested for a few years in the basement without proper maintenance. One of its 3 buttons was not press-able any longer ~ rusted shut or something. Meanwhile the Yamaha still worked, well oiled and all. Lesson: always unscrew the buttons of your trumpet & Yamaha Buttons do not rust that fast I guess…
