I mean you’re not wrong. I’ve seen multiple articles stating that a blue sky version of tweet is a skeet. It’s why I’ve written the entire platform off.

So do you guys not know what skeet means or…

I feel like Game of Thrones could have had Harry Potter levels of cultural staying power if they didn’t completely fuck the ending.

The worst part about Lemmy is the tankies.

I’m old enough to remember this being Ubuntu.

Honestly if they made a normal Tesla pickup truck and then a few limited edition cyber trucks for some massive amount of money I think it would have worked out really well.

Like imagine if the average person couldn’t buy a cyber truck but they gave Keanu Reeves one as a Cyberpunk 2077 tie in. The Internet would go absolutely insane.

It’s interesting. If I were a teenager today I would read this and think Microsoft ruined what would have been an amazing game by corporate greed.

I was a teenager when Fable III came out though, so I know better.

First game reviews from that era are completely whack. You had a ton of big name game blogs that were basically giving everything a 9/10 if it was from the right publisher. The smaller blogs weren’t really in the internet zeitgeist until Fable III, so you could compare their scores of Fable I and II for reference.

That being said, there was a lot of discussion about how Fable II was a bit of a disappointment. People felt that the system was a lot shallower than promised, and the game itself felt extremely on rails at times. None of the endings really change the world, which wouldn’t be that insulting if two of them didn’t involve your dog dying. I think saying that Fable II was amazingly well received is kinda bs.

I can say for sure that putting the blame on Microsoft for Fable III over promising and under delivering is absolute horeshit. The guy behind Fable, Molyneux, was famous for pulling that crap. This was an era where basically virtually every single game trailer could have been an FTC violation of anyone was paying attention, and Molyneux somehow stood out beyond anyone else for how full of shit he was. At one point he implied that he developed AGI and implemented it in a video game.

While Boomers got a lot of things wrong, as I get older I sort of understand where they are coming from. This article paints a narrative so incorrect it’s almost fictional, and it’s being propagated because most people interacting are too young to remember but somehow extremely self assured.

Capitalist is a nebulous term. While I guess you could use it to describe freelance journalists pushing out low effort schlock because they get paid on quantity and rent is due, I think that’s kinda ridiculous.

I think the term “Capitalist” would apply to employees determining how to profit off changing consumer interests.

If all the apps are in React Native I feel like they are gonna have a bad time. If you’re not careful React Native apps have bad performance, and Fire TVs don’t have a lot of performance to spare.

The title and comments are super toxic.

Mental health disorders are serious issues. You owe it to yourself to explore and utilize all treatment options available. Refusing to take medications out of some weird sense of pride isn’t funny, it’s self destructive.

So, as it’s been stated, Wayland is still not universally better than X. There are still bugs in places. Gaming is still an issue. Kwin’s implementation still isn’t complete enough to be reliably introduced as the default.

This is after years and years of work. Yes, making an entirely new display protocol is hard. However Wayland was introduced as the “eventual X replacement” when I was in high school. I’m 30 now. I’ve heard some variation of “Wayland is almost ready” since my senior year of college.

At some point it becomes exhausting. At this point when someone says something along the lines of “in a year or two, Wayland will reach a point where X.org will be a thing of the past” my immediate reaction is to call bullshit.

I’m honestly just impressed by how much this guy has grown. I remember when he was going on rants about how much he hates atheists.

I mean let’s be real here they had every right to be concerned. TNG had serious problems in the beginning and had some pretty big flaws even as the show got going. Off the top of my head

• The first few episodes (besides Q) were straight trash. Even if you take out the ample racism and sexism, they still kinda suck
• Worf didn’t become a thing until Yar died. He was just kinda there. Also his hair looked ridiculous
• Riker was half as sexy in terms of looks and a quarter as sexy in terms of personality
• Picard was a dick. Not firm but fair. A straight up dick.
• They straight up got rid of crusher for a season
• The Ferengi were awful. Not like in a “lol what shenanigans is Quark up to now” but in a “TOS Gorn” way

I feel like this is used either by someone who hasn’t used KDE in a decade or has been using Linux (Ubuntu) for less than a year.

The worst thing you can say about KDE is that the default configuration is pretty basic. However, that’s arguably a good thing because that format is straight up better for productivity.

KDE has also embraced user choice. Not only do they design the desktop and applications to be much more configurable than GNOME. A power user can customize KDE in a way that seems to personally offend GNOME developers. In addition, KDE 5 designed their libraries in a way that other DEs can leverage them while still doing their own thing. I haven’t kept up, but at one point that was a huge boon to LxQT development.

Above all else, the KDE team seems a lot more reasonable than the GNOME team. Over the past decade, KDE has worked hard to rebuild trust after their disastrous 4.0 rollout. Meanwhile in that same period four different groups of developers have decided to go their own way because they felt the GNOME team was impossible to work with.

Okay so if you’re actually not lying, then opt out of your insurance plan and buy a delta dental plan via their exchange or the website. It’s quite literally half the cost and comes with free preventative services.

I don’t know about my mom, but my SO thinks you’re all insane POSes who give women a bad name.

Are you in a relationship? If so how does your husband feel about your feelings towards men?

I’m 28.

So you’re an honest to God adult judging people under the age of 25 for things they not only had no part in, but were largely perpetuated by people who are most likely dead?

I feel the need to point out that at any point any of these women could decide to focus on less superficial qualities and more on personality. At some point you’re making a choice.

Okay serious question: how old are you?
